Just occurred to me... If the team scores in the top of the first, and the start pitches the whole game without losing the lead, does he get credit for a save?

I suppose that would count as a couple more... Anyome else? Oh right the games starting...

And many more...

If you are using punch as a verb meaning offer a cool refreshing beverage. Sure. Or perhaps immortalize you in a british comic publication dating back to the 1800's, alas my drawing skilz ain't so hot. But no, no violence on my part. I saw my unique mispelling after i posted the edit, but though it more entertaining hat way. Also no need to get carried away editing...

I approve. Though as usual, i wish to perpetuate my own perspective... Beauty, being in the eye of the beholder, the beauty sleep contributes to one's ability to perceive beauty... Not unlike the concept of beer goggles perhaps? Or do people really swim in it? Edit: i before e except after c... you before me when waiting to... sorry. got carried away by the poetry, and out of the realm of spelling pneumonics. Nevermind. Editing is a dangerous superpower...

Guess i am only an ordinary aleck... Not living up to my potential. Got no right to complain about the Twins' performance these days...

I didn't miss that. I nailed it.

Worth a try. But first, let's get a leadd

Wasn't some gamethreader also at the game he hit his first home run last year? Riverbrian, perhaps? In Detroit? Either way, here's to many more! Edit: glad i can remember things... But i should really get to the end before posting, shouldn't i? Leastwise until i master the art of asynchronous posting...

Pacing themselves, perhaps?

CONCUR edit:formatting was timid...

I did not know Brahms was a DJ. Learn something new every day, i guess.

We'll it a draw, then?

Fare thee well! Oh, and thanks for reminding me... I could be listening to it...

Tis but a scratch.

Where will they take it?

Will tomorrow be better? Will the riddler really dunk Robin the molasses vat? How will Batman escape that awkward conversation? Toon in next time... Same bat stadium same bat team... http://twinsdaily.com/topic/22831-game-thread-twins-vs-red-socks-611-110pm-ct/

If life gives you a pear, make pear-ade. Everybody loves a parade... I said i'd play sousaphone in a band marching in just such a parade this morning. But i'd already promised chief to post this thread intro. Well, through the pared down convenience of modern cellular technology, the moment it ends i can cut and paste directly... And it was a short parade. Your homework assignment for this thread: Twins come in pairs, usually. Make a joke or tell a story or post a picture related somehow to pairs (pears, pares, pierres what have you) as you can see in the above, i done mine... I have been local to the Red Socks for much of the past couple decades, so i am mildly sentimental about the various Minnesota sports players showing up on the Boston scene and winning championships. Lost in the Ortiz story is good ol' Douggie Baseball and the ball what broke the Bambino's curse. Garnett also won here, and that one wide out was somewhat instrumental in the historic 18-1 season. The vehicle for this game thread intro which i wished to implement was a preview of coming attractions like at the movies, coming to a stadium near you. Alas filling an idea like that out takes more time and effort than i am currently up for... I had a few chuckles coming up with one directed by Ridley Scott called Baserunner. The one scene i put thought into was a job interview, perhaps at twins daily... So there's a tortoise on second base... What's a tortoise? You know what a third basemen is? Yeah. Same thing. Anyway, his helmet came off, but he can't leave the base, and your just watching him stretch helplessly to get it and your not doing anything... (i forget exactly how it goes from here...) It was just a question designed to evoke an emotional response. So tell me about Paul Molitor... Anyway, i thought it could be funny. Well, without further ado, our feature presentation: Red Sox Pitching. Eduardo Rodriguez (L) 1. Mookie Betts (R ) RF 2. Dustin Pedroia (R ) 2B 3. Xander Bogaerts (R ) SS 4. David Ortiz (L) DH 5.

Byron Buxton (R ) CF Gametime Forecast: 87°F • Clear • 0% PoP One last trip to the concessions, silence those phones but talk all you want. We encourage audience participation...

Seemed like a good idea at the time... And my bad on the first three runs. I remembered i might be close enough to hear the game, and found an fm station just in time to hear that play out...

Ortiz advances the runners. Productive out.

If gameday and my posting be timely, he is up now w/ 2 on...

Yes have some.

Let the game begin! We who are about to post salute you...

So... All we need is 8 runs this inning?

Anywhere the wind blows, doesn't really matter to me.
