I see your mind went there too. You should probably seek professional help. Or write TD game day threads.

 

I suspect certain moderators prefer the latter to the former.

Can't speak for other mods, but I have no preference.

 

Do both.

Will i get a budget to seek professional help writing game thread intros?

 

I think 5 chief style jokes should suffice, but they sound open to negotiation...

 

(I got a sneaking suspicion my pro might be a con...)

I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that the window industry doesn't pay quite as well as banking and baseball.

Not so sure as all those banks and baseball places need windows and lots of them

Lots of gloom on here due to the Twins tough schedule        Last I looked those teams haven't won one a vs. Twins after the All Star game.

 

I'm just glad to see that Twins baseball is back!!!!!     GO TWINS!!!!!!!

Concur.

 

And that said ... we have a few dates in July ready for the claiming! Come on, threaders! You know who you are ... just do it!

 

And August is almost all open. Just do it!

[Danchat]

I did not expect Granite to hit second, so let's hope he proves himself there.

[Cap'n Piranha]

I don't know why everyone is so worried about the Yankees--the last time they beat us was so long ago there was a different President of the United States.

Can't argue with that reasoning.

With any luck, the next time they there'll be yet another.

The peer pressure!! Ahhh!! It's suffocating!!

[Blake]

Eh, once you get past the initial fright you settle down to mere queasiness.

That's just the Vikings.

Okay. I'm okay with queasiness. Like going every time I've gone to court for the past 20 years. . . . Living the dream . . . .

[Don Walcott]

Torii!!

[mikecgrimes]

Doizers having a good 2nd half again

[Riverbrian]

DOZIER

[mikecgrimes]

Early goals are always key.  Oh wait the Twins are still in it I don't have to focus on hockey yet.

[diehardtwinsfan]

Here's to hoping he gets really hot.  Hot enough to pick up a major league ready high ceiling SP arm at the deadline.

[spinowner]

Way like!

[mikecgrimes]

First career hit on a blown call

[mikecgrimes]

Never mind good call

[mikecgrimes]

Gotta have two 2nd basemen on contenders go down or there's no chance he has meaningful in season trade value.

[Don Walcott]

Like Tori's first good announcing insight that Granite is one of the piranhas.

[Riverbrian]

Nothing like staring at blank page with no plan whatsoever. 

[Squirrel]

The peer pressure!! Ahhh!! It's suffocating!!

Good. Then I'm doing it right. If you want to breathe again, sign up to do a game thread.

[Don Walcott]

Maybe that's why you're the best.

[Riverbrian]

I'm starting to think that the catcher McCann has a finger injury or something that causes him to put down two fingers all the time. 

 

Lots of curves from Morton.

That fastball he threw to Dozier is still traveling in his mind.

And behind every good writer is an even better editor.

 

However, I will admit that I really don't need to edit all that much, just the commas and the occasional buntings.
