Game Thread: Twins v Rays, 5/26 @ 7:10pm CT

I'm anxious for the game too, but Riverbrian, it's not 7:00 am yet.

You're an odd guy.

Indeed.

My favorite number is even so I am trying to normalize a little.

"The rotation is productive from 1 to 5 and not one of them has an ERA over 3.82. The bullpen hasn’t been leaking either."

 

Can someone translate this for me?  I don't understand a word of that and I think it may actually be against the rules.

 

In all seriousness though, this should be a pretty good test for the lineup.  Their rotation when compared to Baltimore's is like night and day and the Twins don't have their rotation horses going in this series.

I once had an argument with a math teacher over what I considered an odd number...8 is pretty weird.  (Wright)

 

The licorice was a big tub of Red Vines right?  Although, in this analogy, something slightly not perfect has to happen near the end, to equate to the two homers Berrios gave up.  So maybe the licorice was Twizzlers.

I prefer to think of Riverbrian as "Oddly Cool."

 

That way, I feel better about myself.

My favorite number is e. I've always been a bit irrational.

I like i, because it's complex.

Good point.  This test will indeed be tricky, with no Santana or Berrios going the Twins are going to have to produce with the bats.  The one explosion in Baltimore was against a going-down-in-flames Ubaldo Jimenez.   Doing the same thing against the likes of Archer, Odorizzi and Cobb will take more effort.  The Twins are going to need to score 4-5 runs in more than one game in this series to win it. 
 

 

Are you suggesting that Riverbrian is Abby, Abby-something?

Grand Marais is in Manitoba, right next to Grand Beach. Everybody knows that, sheesh.

Well, now I need to find my passport when I go there in a few weeks...Thank you for the warning.

Apparently the voyageurs agreed with the Ojibwe about Grand Marais, seeing as it means "big swamp" in French.

 

Joe M. Voyageur: "Don't go there, it's nothing but a big swamp."

Joe M. Ojibwe: "I wasn't gonna..."

I've always favored the number x, but it took a while to figure out what it was!

As my algebra challenged dad says often, you can't add letters.

Yeah, it took a while for me to figure out "X" but, eventually, I was able to sign documents......

It's important for one to make their mark on society.

I thought "i" was imaginary. Or is it my imagination?

I don't know about that. If you receive a letter from the IRS that says you owe $20,000 and then you receive a letter from your lawyer that says you owe $10,000, add both together and it comes to $30K

OK, will do.  Hadn't thought of that.

 

Usually, I consider doing a welfare check on you after I read your game thread intro.

Wouldn't adding the letters together technically be like one massive word jumble with two mismatched letterheads combining to make one big incoherent mess?  That could actually be kinda fun and you could probably make it work out that the IRS owes you $20k and your lawyer owes you $10k.  Profit!  

Funny line from the new Ferrell/Poehlet movie: "this says I've got $401,000 in the bank.

 

"No, it says you have a 401K plan"

 

I've always favored the number x, but it took a while to figure out what it was! 

For you I would recommend ħ (pronounced h-hat or h-bar). The constant ħ is the reduced Planck constant, [h / (2π)]. It's equal to 6.582119514(40)×10−16 eV-sec.

 

Don't confuse it (on your freaking life) for Ĥ, which is the Hamiltonian Operator corresponding to the total energy of a system.

Wait.  If you're typing this on a computer, it's all just 1's and 0's.  Letters can be added together.  The letter i is hexadecimal 69 which is binary 1101001...it's all ball bearing these days!

Yeah, thank you very much Hex takes me back to my days of web design. It was a riot embedding hex into html for color values.

I've always preferred i.

 

Imaginary numbers are cool and irrational. 

 

Edit:  I see I'm a bit late to that show.

No just the hidden camera in Brian's laboratory where he does his game thread intros.

 

Leaked by Joe Torre with MLB which has Brian under 24 hour surveillance. Oops just about gave away the leaker.

My favorite number is e. I've always been a bit irrational.

Mine is 0. Coincidently, I'm a huge fan of Neitzche.

For some reason, I just think a no-hitter is gonna be thrown tonight.  Not necessarily in this game, but in MLB.
