Article: Game Thread: Twins v A's, 5/2 @ 7:10pm CT

[ashbury]

I.Q. Test: if you just gave up homers to Buxton and Dozier, and first base is open, would you pitch to Sano or walk him and take your chances with Mauer?

You walk the Elephant, and pitch to the Giraffe. Geez, that's an old one.

[Riverbrian]

 

I take complete credit for the dinger parade this inning, thank you very much.

 

And on game threads we allow the claiming of credit for basically anything. 

[GCTF]

 

Mauer to the opposite field, gets in on the dong parade.

We're not doing phrasing anymore?

[Joe A. Preusser]

I could always throw strikes. Granted it was low 70s. I had a knuckle. I feel like I could throw ONE inning one time.

I can use a pitching machine to help, right?

[stringer bell]

I missed Mauer's homer , I'm catching the light rail going home, but up until then, none of 'em were cheap.

Chief once beat Babe Ruth in a hot dog eating contest.

[USAFChief]

 

Well....

Actually....

It hit the top of the wall, so it didn't technically clear the flower pot

haters gonna hate.

[ashbury]

 

No

 

I just walked up to him holding a hairbrush and started asking him questions while I pushed the hairbrush closer so he could talk into it. 

 

I thought my career doing that was over. 

Next time clip a Bic pen to his lapel, so he'll think you're using up to date sound equipment.

Chief once beat Babe Ruth in a hot dog eating contest.

 

And I claim full credit for that. 

 

I told somebody back in the 20's to make extra hot dogs because... well you never know.

The Joe Mauer Home Run was like 500 Feet in Dog Years. 

[Oldgoat_MN]

Dammit! I met you downtown and didn't know it was you!

[twinssporto]

Just got home and turned the game on.  Is this for real?

[Darius]

Absolutely shocked to hear Jones got berated with racial slurs in Boston.

 

In other news, there are millions of Canadians living in Canada.

[Deduno Abides]

Pretty savvy managing by Molitor to pull Santana and save the pitches on his arm right before the offensive explosion.

[Joe A. Preusser]

No way, that guy could eat.

[Riverbrian]

A Hairbrush and a Bic Pen. Both work wonderfully. After the interview is over... you can comb your hair and write something down. 

 

Regular Mics are just boring because they can do none of that stuff. 

[David HK]

Think Lowrey got framed...

Millions of Canadians... They are going to have to make more beer. 

[Bark's Lounge]

A good ass whooping is always good. What a relaxed evening.

[TwinsCD]

Did we ever get the answer to the dozen rabbits hopping backwards question?

[Blake]

 

A good ass whooping is always good. What a relaxed evening.

Considering the Twins were generally on the receiving end last year..

[twinssporto]

Jorge is due.

[BoofBonser]

Montas throwing 100 consistently... wow

[amjgt]

I'm glad Buxton gets to bat again in this game, against what is likely not the A's best reliever.

Genius.

Receding hair line.

Is this true?

 

North?  GCTF?  Can we get some independent confirmation here?

[Joe A. Preusser]

I'll drink to.that.

[Jerr]

 

Did we ever get the answer to the dozen rabbits hopping backwards question?

Yes.

[GP830]

So- what's the logo between Santana pinching for Rosario? Just to get him an AB?

EDIT- Again, Molitor looks like a genius.
