Game Thread: Twins @ Royals, 6/4 - 7:10pm

[Ultima Ratio]

Trade Robertson for Chen.

[snepp]

Unfortunately that bullet travels at a speed measured in feet per hour these days.

 

Sounds awfully similar to my 'fastball'.

[Ultima Ratio]

I don't see Miggy... I see Melky and Everth...

 

I do see Nelson Cruz... Another Fantasy player of mine gone.

 

I didn't either. Norm/Glorm may already be six deep.

Ba dum tsssh

[LaBombo]

You have completely forgotten how absolutely withering an "ew, he's OLD" can be.

Ugly incident at Redbox movie return tonight, so I'm totally ready to relate that tale to anyone who needs the "ew" refresher.

That was you?

[glunn]

I thought I saw Miggy on a handwritten list that they flashed on the video.

 

BTW, Deduno need to come out of this game -- was at 100 pitches before the inning began.

[CairoCrown]

How many times is that now that Gardy has had to pull a starter with no outs after leaving him in an extra inning?

[ashbury]

Brock doesn't like me... You'll have to use your cred to help us out.

 

Cred? Isn't Game Thread Moderator somewhat akin in influence to Airman Sub-basic?

[Riverbrian]

Since 2002? You expect a lot out of my memory.

I didn't get the joke but I bet Chief is laughing his ass off.

[CairoCrown]

In the past week or so.

[ashbury]

Cool... Glormie has joined me on the Deduno bandwagon. Only a few of us so far but there's room for more.

 

A month after he is voted the Cy, I may perk up and notice that he's actually been OK.

[Riverbrian]

In the past week or so.

 

Oh... In that case the Answer is 89.

[CairoCrown]

Oh... In that case the Answer is 89.

Can I get an assist on that layup?

[Guest USAFChief]

Oh... In that case the Answer is 89.

I think you meant "8 or 9."

[ashbury]

Ugly incident at Redbox movie return tonight, so I'm totally ready to relate that tale to anyone who needs the "ew" refresher.

 

Guys half my age get the "ew" refresher handed to them unbidden. "29? Ew, he's old."

[Riverbrian]

Can I get an assist on that layup?

 

Absolutely... I tip my cap... You are a solid addition to the game thread. We are here every game.

[Guest USAFChief]

Can I get an assist on that layup?

You just earned your game threader badge.

[ashbury]

I didn't get the joke but I bet Chief is laughing his ass off.

 

I am confident he will inform me if I bollixed it.

[snepp]

As long as you're not getting the "RUN! ZOMBIE!!" reaction you're doing alright.

[Guest USAFChief]

Meanwhile, Gardy doin' some managin', and the pen responds.

 

I guess the league respects Hicks' arm, at least.

[Riverbrian]

You just earned your game threader badge.

 

Glunn... Snepp... Brock... John... Seth... Nick... Jeremy... We need badges. Earned Badges that are awarded to Game threaders that have earned it...

 

I realize that I wouldn't get one but that's Ok.

[Guest USAFChief]

I am confident he will inform me if I bollixed it.

99% confident?

[ashbury]

Meanwhile, Gardy doin' some managin', and the pen responds.

 

Bring in a lefty, then bring in a righty. The AL version of the Double Switch.

The Royals announcers respect it and seem to like his overall potential.

[snepp]

[snepp]

Reasonably confident.

[glunn]

Glunn... Snepp... Brock... John... Seth... Nick... Jeremy... We need badges. Earned Badges that are awarded to Game threaders that have earned it...

 

I realize that I wouldn't get one but that's Ok.

 

You would get a trophy, not a badge.

[Riverbrian]

Deduno was fairly boring by his standards but stellar in result.

 

I'm disappointed and happy at the same time. That cocktail creates a strange sensation.
