Elmer Fudd game thread.

 

Is it...

 

1) Rabbit season?

Them rascally varmints tend to get everywhere and eat everything. And around my wanderings, they don't much bother to keep out of sight. Bold as brass.

 

2) Baseball season?

Not much more happening. Glancing at the standings, some games might mean something. But i've been here before. pretty much a foregone conclusion, that someone in the New England area will think up a fancy slogan, and the Red Sox will bring another championship back to New England... But there have got to be smaller reasons to care. What are yours?

 

3) Football season?

Minnesota pro and college teams are both undefeated. Whoop didoo. I will let you fill in the foregone conclusions, You probably got all the fine details i haven't noticed, not being around all that much.

 

4) Duck season?

Not that i have anything against ducks. I here you get down off a duck's back. They should have a season.

 

5) Fall?

You might not have noticed, but in northern latitudes, days are now shorter than nights. I think day light savings time is just there to drive it home. Like a designated driver. One should not put with a driver...

 

Well, whatever it is, there will be a baseball game played at Target Field, so i hear.

Get well Jerry Layne.

1-0 Minn.

1-0 Minn.

And there was much rejoicing!

How remiss...

 

I did forget Opera season!

 

My one venture into AT&T park was to see a simulcast of Rigaletto.

 

And i recently watched Anne Russell's (first) farewell concert. Her summary of the ring cycle suffices.

How about a shut-down inning.

Kepler!!!!

 

(perhaps a wee bit slow, but needed to be said)

 

Twins

2-1

after 2

cbu

 

burma shave...

Wasscilly Wabbit

Lets get a big hit Vargas!

Lets get a big hit Vargas!

Concur.

 

Though i woulda been satisfied with a little hit...

 

Still the game is young.

Point of order.

 

Do football scores need a spoiler alert?

 

Or a trigger warning?

Polanco is a defensive liability!

Trying to make up my mind if I want Grossman on the team next year.  Pretty good OBP - horrible defense.   Would make a good part-time DH and PH but we seem to have plenty of those.

Point of order.

In the age of TiVo, football scores should not be posted at all! .

Seems to be a rule that we have to leave 2 runners on each inning.

Just have to say that to me there are two seasons: baseball season and waiting for baseball season.

Road construction, which coincides with baseball season.

So the catcher, Sucre, has one HR in 233 career ABs. So he cranks one against the Twins to give the M's the lead.

 

As expected.

That's so you can get to the baseball game, right.

Now he has 2?

 

Where did we go wrong?

Is there any chance we can hire the Seattle baserunning coach. He would fit in! Two complete boneheaded running gaffes already.

Shoulda walked him.

 

EDIT: Or bring in Wimmers.

Then all i will say is that we missed the extra point.

 

And now the game is over.

Down 4-3 in the bottom of the 8th.

 

We can do this.

sampleSizeOfOne nice job on the game thread! \m/

Thankye kindly!

Well here we go 3 outs away from 100 loses!

After today's Vikings game, I'm convinced Zimmer would do a better job coaching the Twins than Molitor would.
