Article: Game Thread: Twins v Marlins, 6/7 @ 7:10pm CT

[Deduno Abides]

Berardino's tweets have grown increasingly critical of Jepsen. I wonder if he's getting fed that.

[LaBombo]

 

Welp, the Kevin Jepsen Era appears to be over. Just Another Bullpen Arm tonight.

 

He didn't do himself any favors with all that nervous chocolate binging in 8th innings of close games.   You can really see the extra pounds around his face:

Ok let's win one for the gipper. And for the lipper I just threw in

[diehardtwinsfan]

 

Terrible news in the Chief family.  My best friend from high school passed away.  We played ball together, and made a point to get together and see a game at least a couple times a year.  If anything, he loved baseball more than me.

 

He visited me in my dreams last night, and I figured it was to say a final goodbye.  Nope, he was all pumped up.  "Chief...they have baseball in heaven!" he said.  "And it's just like you're 18 again!"

 

"There is a bit of bad news, though, old friend." he continued.  "We have a game tomorrow afternoon, and you're leading off and playing second base."

Bo-SHEARS!

[David HK]

Yoiks-  this BP tonight---  how refreshing is this?

 

Yoiks, these bats tonight--- how <opposite of refreshing> are they?

[HitInAPinch]

Damn, 7 relief pitches used by Twins tonight!

[SwainZag]

That was a nasty pitch

[twinssporto]

 

Oh common.  You cannot tease us like that. 

Never!  I will say the Terry Ryan stories are epic!

[Danchat]

I'm glad the Twins took my advice and called Boshers up. He's looking good so far.

[LaBombo]

 

Can we win this one? I want to win this one.

I'm calling a Plouffe walk off. Book it.

Hey Vanimal, don't suppose you can meet up with his sister and use your charm to get these stories out?

[operation mindcrime]

Well...

She could probably frame a pitch better than Suzuki!

[twinssporto]

 

Well...

Call me Mauer maybe.

[twinssporto]

We will be there Thursday.  Unfortunately sitting in Marlins seats. 

[Aggies7]

Ut oh!

[diehardtwinsfan]

I could care less where you sit.  I just want to hear some Loria stories.  

[SwainZag]

 

Make it Grossman.

 

He's just setting the table

I was think Bates motel, but that works too.

[Rosterman]

Anyone know where May has been Five days and no pitching. Maybe he will get a chance tonight being last man standing...unless the Twins choose Phil Hughes to close out this game. Jepsen. One out one hit. Need we keep him? Does he have any any value?

 

[jimmer]

what in the heck was that? let me guess, guy went on his own.

[operation mindcrime]

What was that?

[David HK]

Now, I'm wondering if Mr. M is going to say after the game that Grossman "ran on his own?"

[operation mindcrime]

How embarrassing!

[ashbury]

For the Twins, you mean, right?

Maybe Molitor should wander over to the opposing dugout, and ask, "if you guys happen to score in the top of the inning, would you mind if I ran Jepsen out there to pitch the bottom?"
