May 25, 20188 yr Yeah, dog's are superior... without question... though I might questions that dog's taste in beer.He's just going by tailgate etiquette rule #1. "If it's free, it's for me"
May 25, 20188 yr I dislike both cats and dogs if only for all the lazy and unimaginative minor league teams that simply append a "Cat" or "Dog" at the end of a drab word to come up with a team name. FIsher Cats, Muckdogs, Rock Cats, River Dogs, Hillcats, Sea Dogs, River Cats, Valley Cats, Doggy Cats, etc. I conversely applaud the minor league team that puts some effort into the naming process and comes up with a unique name to grab your attention - the Gwinnett Strippers, for instance.
May 25, 20188 yr The Objective: Game threads will be a sanctuary from unmistakable hard-nosed negativity.!
May 25, 20188 yr Dogs would be much more likely to post positive thoughts in game threads, just sayin....
May 25, 20188 yr Can someone tell me how to access the live game thread?This is it -- just come back when the game starts.
May 25, 20188 yr I've long said "Play .500 ball until the All Star break and anything can happen."17 of our last 23 games are against the Royals, the White Sox, and the Tigers. If we can stay even with Cleveland until then we should be able to pull away down the stretch.
May 25, 20188 yr Can someone tell me how to access the live game thread?Perhaps the old and stale jokes seen so far have convinced you something is deceased here. If you mean how to follow the game itself, for free there is a running log of the play-by-play at mlb.com - look at the menu on the left at that site and pick the Twins game. If you want to watch the game, and are outside the Twins monopoly area geographically, mlb.tv will do the trick but it costs money. Inside the Twins region, you probably need cable. BTW, the game is in Seattle tonight, so it won't start very early.
May 25, 20188 yr Author I find it difficult to imagine a mountain gorilla would share anything with me. IMO... This is the Post of the Night and it's gonna be hard to top.
May 25, 20188 yr Author Dogs would be much more likely to post positive thoughts in game threads, just sayin.... OK... This one is good to. Another nominee for post of the night.
May 25, 20188 yr Author This is it -- just come back when the game starts. Or Hang out until game time.
May 25, 20188 yr Today is National Wine Day! So enjoy a glass, or a couple of bottles today just because!
May 25, 20188 yr Today is National Wine Day! So enjoy a glass, or a couple of bottles today just because!It's actually World Wine Century. Enjoy!
May 25, 20188 yr Oh yeah. And i think i figured out Joe M conversation enigma. If it really is weekly... well we already hadone this week. But don't take my word for it... Go ahead, ask them yourselves.
May 25, 20188 yr My neighbor's cat regularly comes over to disapprove of us.(Proudly and shamelessly taken from someone who posted it on my Twitter feed) Edited May 25, 20188 yr by VATwinsFan
May 25, 20188 yr We used to have this described environment and it was incredibly fun, but for some reason, we let it slip away through a gradual eroding of what was always a blurry purpose and that blurriness makes it hard to define clear lines and here we are today asking if we can get back to where we were before, with the understanding that it’s a vague request indeed.Thank you for this. Long-time lurker here. Last game thread I followed, I kept hearing Rodney Dangerfield's voice, "Tough crowd, tough crowd." I wasn't going to abandon the threads, but man I wasn't enjoying them as much. Started reading through this thread and it made me happy. Like reading a Kevin Kling story.
May 25, 20188 yr Nice opening on the State of the Game Thread. They have been getting a little cranky lately. In 2016 when the Twins totally sucked we had a wonderful time on GT's. And I remember asking, I wonder what happens if the team starts winning. The gallow humor would be gone. And it came to pass. I hope your well thought out, and well written gentle reminder return us to the days of yesteryear.
May 25, 20188 yr Long-time lurker here.Moral of the story, don't lurk. What's your position on the important issue of Russian Blue versus Golden Retriever?
May 25, 20188 yr What's next? Are you going to tell people how to dress?Our advice would be to not try to be either of these guys. But, if you can pull off the look with aplomb like they do, after apparently losing a bet, we won't say a word.http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-0m5QePrcVNk/UvS_FNo5aLI/AAAAAAAABN0/Ed8iQNHUaMg/s1600/20140207_b.JPG
