I feel as if at this point in the season we all need rational explanations to why we are still watching the Twins.

 

Well ... for me, tonight ... I'm up at 6am tomorrow for tennis ... I need something that will force me to get to bed early tonight.

Wow ... that's some caber toss ... Arcia must be part Scottish.

Really, really slow internet hookup?

As a Twins fan that should not be an issue, since you should know "how to do things the right way" and being able to "battle your tail off" or something like that.

 

Yeah, but I'm a Vikings fan too.

Dan, you need to come to this thread more often. One of our goals is to avoid rationality until the Twins are no longer terrible.

I'm thinking that in the off-season Terry Ryan needs to acquire a few more pretty darn good starting pitchers.

Well, or whomever the new GM will be needs to find a few more pretty darn good starting pitchers.

Wow, an inning where the Indians didn't score. Be still, my heart.

The Lynx aren't on tonight.

I think Gardy and Ryan are just trying to demonstrate, for the SABR crowd, the area around which replacement level exists for starting pitching.

 

Or, some level below.

I'm not sure there's room in the rotation for any more pretty darn good starting pitchers. We seem to have cornered the market.

But what about Duensing?

I just turned on the game and saw the score. I assumed it must have been the 5th or 6th with a score of 7 - 0 and it being an hour into the game... then the top of the 3rd was over.

And yet, as Danchat pointed out, we are still here.

I think it is time for a walk to DQ. I am hopeful it will be a tie game by the time I get back.

This would be a good night to focus on your homework.

Serious question (I'm sorry about being serious for a second):

 

How about trying out Ryan Presley as a starter? At least, maybe in ST.

Get a mini heath bar blizzard for me! Or a Buster Bar!

That's actually the plan after I finish eating my bachelor chow.

There is a DQ in some frozen over hell?

Where is the DQ China?

I am going home now. Hopefully the cable will not be working.

Two scoreless innings in a row!?!?!?! What kind of madness is this?

The board. We're on it.

Yeah, an assumption of a tasty ERA of 10 or 12 is a great setup for a humorous look at an actual game-in-progress ERA of 21.

Laundry won out. Washing my gym clothes. A stinky job but it's gotta get done. (Nothing that some vinegar and baking soda can't cure.)
