Some one pointed out that we just passed the 40 game mark. Half way through the first half of the season. Zeno would be proud. If he knew about Major League Baseball.

 

I am taking a cue and writing half of a game thread intro. The good half, i hope.

 

When i finish my parade, maybe i'll write the other half?

 

Only one way to find out.

 

Things to think about.

 

1. Winning. I'm positive about this. It takes thinking to win.

 

2. Numbers. It helps to have more.

 

3. Bingo... It's nice song, eh? How do you sing it backwards? _ _ _ GO!

Do i have to write the other half of the intro now?

Cleveland is blanking Baltimore 7-0 late in the game today, looks like the Twins won't be gaining any ground. Motivation for a sweep!

This is about the worst lineup Rocco can throw out there, and it is still a scary lineup vs a left hander. 

So wise folk of TD. I ain't been paying attention.

 

How's this Luis Arraez fellow?

 

And i've heard of this Sano, but for a while... Pretty atheletic as i recall?

After careful screening of the announced line-ups plus error prone calculation using proprietary formulas cleverly devised by a slightly inebriated quasi-gentleman of German-Irish descent, said calculations further refined by blindfolded dart throwing by the same quasi-gentleman using either hand, I put the over/under for this titanic clash at 4 runs for the Twins.

 

I might be over. But I could be under the coffee table.

Coffee tables are pretty low...

Encarsion. for seattle, has lit up Gibby in the past

Oh, and my random tale...

 

One of the fellows i paraded with today was from Woonsocket, and upon hearing i was a Twins fan, regailed me with tidbits about or coach, who apparently hails from the area.

Latroy Hawkins sucks, the job belongs to Morneau

So when do they finally move Buxton out of the #9 spot

There once was a man from Woonsocket

Who had a mouse in his pocket

They talked about Rocco

And ate a few tacos

Didn't run the parade but they walked it

Hip Hip Jorge, nice start

Great start from Polanco!!!! Let's keep it going!!!

Encarsion. for seattle, has lit up Gibby in the past

I've never heard of him!

CROM!!!!!!!!!!

Lol What a horrible challenge!

Cron is safe

huh???? There is no way that they could conclude he was out.

Lol What a horrible challenge!

Who am I to talk! lol

what?? That didn't look conclusive at all.

pfft

Absolutely terrible to see that overturned. The only possible reason for that is that someone in MLB wants to keep games competitive or something, or favor home teams when challenges are made.

Of course the review HQ in NYC is against us. Just another reason to despise that city.  

Cron is safe

Apparently not! What a crappy reversal!!!

Gibson is good when he’s attacking the zone, he has always had a tendency to nibble, especially under pressure...let’s see good Gibson today

It's annoying how much Gibson nibbles on the corners

3rd play by Encarnocion that could have easily gone bad for him
