Great work. Is that really her face, or the face she wants to see, or the face the cherub is letting her see?

Chief? Paging Mister Chief...

By the way, these are the game threads I love.... The weirder, the better! Where else can you go on the internet to discuss snowmobiles, Canadian tuxedos, and dad bods? 

 

The best part is that eventually there may be a Twins game being discussed.

Heh, at the risk of quoting myself, and looking even more like a self centered.....

 

Is that a quote bubble by his head in the background? What does everyone think it says?

"Buttons bro.....buttons".

A suit and tie to ride a snowmobile!

 

The only time I wore a suit and tie was during snow-Catting. 

 

I wore my Sno-Suit to church. 

 

I never really questioned it until now.

Egad, Ashbury! How'd he figure that out?

 

Elemetary, my dear sampleSize.

 

Speaking of which, Disney has been radioactive ever since the new Tron movie came out.

 

(probably the last movies i saw at the Harvard Sq. Cinema, being that and the new True Grit. And a very Bridgtastic double feature it was)

A Mauer GIDP will get us back on topic, stat.

They never went out of style, punk.

Yeah, well, let me know when Grampa bodies come back into style.*

 

*Fun note: My grandsons refer to me as "Grumpa" due to some misadventures when I babysat them a few years ago. I thought it was hilarious so I now sign all their birthday cards "Grumpa."

Is that something like a snipe hunt?

Pretty much.  Snipe is a common species here in Indiana... or so I've been told.  Never shot one though.  Quite elusive.  Kind of like the Twins and playoff contention.

Or a Dozier pop-up.   Just imagine if Dozier was hitting like last year and Mauer was hitting .280.  I think the Twins would be leading the division!

Hey ... do you have enough golf buddies in Austin? A friend of mine's husband moved there recently, and he's a good golfer ...

I'd be careful, last time I heard, Van was short an intern. Might waylay your friend's husband and chain him beneath the Whine Line control panel.

What does the Twins game have to do with it?

TwinsNorth is En Fuego! Must really be hitting the ketchup hard. (Hey, I lived in MN and am well aware of the fact that Ketchup is considered spicy in the frozen north)

Maybe we could put it to a vote?

 

All in favor of letting the Twins intrude on a game thread say "Aye":

Those opposed type no: NO

 

The no's have it!

Though the "best part' feeling may not last long. Depending on which Twins team shows up. Though with Santana on the mound tonight, here's to hoping it's a fun night in thread and watching the game.

[Mike Sixel]

Santana has a 99% LOB rate! That seems unsustainable.

 

this has been your not fun with stats update....

What, no faith?? Shocked I tell you! Shocked!

[drock2190]

I read today that Doziers fly balls are down 17% so far. Doesn't look like he will come close to last years numbers.

 

And even when he was slumped he was hitting fly balls last year, so maybe he will hit only 20 this year.

Plenty of season left to turn things around and hit 22.

I pissed my pants a little bit after reading this. Very funny.
