White Sox: SP Chris Sale

 

Twins: SP Andrew Albers

 

Things to Think About:

 

1. Think about Albers... What else are you going to think about.

 

2. Think about Albers... Two Starts on the Road and not a run given up in 17.1 Innings.

 

3. Think about Albers... His first home start... Can he Keep it Going.

 

4. Think about Ummm... How about Albers... He doesn't even have a picture under his name at ESPN.

 

5. Think about God!!! The existence of God has been questioned by some and the discussion often revolves around Faith. For those who require something specific to fuel belief in a higher power... When you grab a Kleenex from the box... The next one pops up.

 

Who else has the power to get that done?

 

I'm on the road today... If someone would be so kind to post the Starting Lineup when they are announced it would be much appreciated.

Last Albers start was at home Bri.

For whatever reason, the rotation is somehow interesting enough that twice in a row now I've been surprised to see that it's Albers's turn again. I know Pelfrey isn't good, and Correia has been marginal, but Gibson and Deduno keep the interest level up for me, and suddenly boom, it's Albers again. Hope he continues to impress.

Indeed it was. I was there. It was glorious.

Now we know why KC was so interested in getting a 2B (Carroll) to finish the year--Tejada is suspended for 105 games.

Maybe Tejada is the PTBNL.

I hope you aren't implying that Albers is God. I wish God was a Minnesota sports fan, but he seems to enjoy toying with us in that area. How else do you explain the Vikings and the Twins?

I am waiting to see Pilgrim's response before deciding how many days to ban Brian for trolling.

I don't think Brian was implying that Albers was God; just that God is one who works in strange and mysterious ways. Albers is an example of that.

 

That said, I say ban him for a week - just on general principal.

 

Better yet - make him actually watch the game rather than spending half his time posting on the gamethread.

Morneau out of today's lineup? Hmm ....

While the Morneau absence is more interesting, why is Arcia on the bench again?

Too risky. Can't shatter his confidence and have him have to face Sale.

But not the content of the conversation?

 

We should come up with a Game Thread tag line. I'll kick it off with "Come for the game, stay for the moobs." I'm sure someone will do better.

Is this an actual hint that something is coming, or are you just shamelessly trying to push up page views for the site owners?

I will reply to this question shortly. Keep checking back.

Arcia has a wrist thing (plus a lefty on the mound), Morneau most likely it's just a lefty on the mound thing, plus getting Mauerzie out from behind the plate.

 

But I could be wrong, so feel free to refresh often.

Can I get my gratuitous pic of my kid up early, and get it out of the way. I cant help myself, this is the only forum I like.

"Oh, by the way, someone hit a home run, I think. Maybe."

I asked her to give me "The Stomp" after her first roof. She didn't disappoint.

You putcher rightfoot in, youputcher rightfoot out, you putcher...

No, she's not a putcher, she's a middle blocker.

It sounds like Jesse Ventura is the color guy in the Cowboys game.

"Where every post can lead you astray"

 

"Game threads. Because someone had to say it."

 

"Home of the double entendre"

Man, you've got guts. I'm not sure I'd take my daughter here if I had one.

Not many places I would, but I think the game threaders are great.

"Home of the double entendre"

 

That's what SHE said.

Does Gladden always tool around the field on a Harley?

 

Better yet - make him actually watch the game rather than spending half his time posting on the gamethread.

 

That's harsh. I'm not even sure the lowest levels of hell are that bad.
