Hopefully there is more where that came from...

Strange as it may seem, i don't so much mind people wearing clothes. My vaguely comprable story, not that much is comprable to this intro, is seeing David Bowie mudwrestle Prince. Anyway, i'm perhaps questing for food now, and will take a moment to appreciate my car stereo.

Sorry i haven't been following the game as is my want. Or even read the game thread in a more timely fashion. Have i missed much? Been mildly distracted by things...

Not the best at time management, i am following less closely than i meant to...

Written with a shovel.

Except when he's at the plate, of which he'll be the 4th. Twin that is. But even then we hope he will be at third soon enough, before returning to the plate. Simple, eh?

Not completely... He could have given up another run. But yeah, there is inherently information lost with simplifications like statistics. You did indeed pick a good example of the stat not meaning quite what you want it to mean. On another note, is the rumor true? If i find a place to watch, i will be able to see Berrios pitch? And without driving to Rochester?

Whatcha want us to complain about? Complaining? Works for me... My take aways from it all involve diminutive descending convicts and developing polaroids in arctic conditions, both of which encourage patience. So i'm just glad the winning pitcher pitched for us.

There's always the tv...

Centigrade? or Celsius? I wasn't paying attention...

Yeah, i would be okay if he took a little more time next time... But at least it is not out of hand.

I gather we won yet. To answer the perennial query. But we are not there yet; we are here.

So instead he'll take... Duffey's place. Makes sense in a musical santanas sort of sense...

I thought some one in game thread yesterday said Polanco was sent down. Hold on a minute while check the minutes...

Not a coup... Just a demonstration of positional flexibility... Sign me up too, RB!

With all the talk of the yankees trade in recent game threads, i was wondering... if Aaron Hicks gets passed through waivers, with the twins being at the bottom, do we scoop him up? if so, how do we clear space... Probably moot speculation, though.

Be... the Larch?

The "What have i missed." Game Thread intro... The passed week, i've missed a couple of possums, i think, a rabbit, a few exits and turns, and happily every other vehicle or obstacle in the road. Sadly i have missed a few of my predicted arrival times as well, but getting enough sleep in driving cross country is kinda non negotiable. Oh, and i guess i missed the instructions on how to keep a plant happy on long road trips. Oh well. I really meant to ask it specifically about the Twins. Who are swinging hot bats, flashing the leather, throwing heat? I kinda been out of touch, and don't know. As usual i seek to hide my inadequate research habits with clever wordplay or cultural references, and long hours on the road, one can go off the deep end thinking of these... If anyone makes a recipe for baseball, might it taste better with a pinch of hitting, and a dash of base running? What would the Wodehouse Blues sound like? Why does a page need to refresh? And will it finally have the Twins lineup on it? (Finally, an answer!) anyway, weather: Today A slight chance of showers, then a chance of showers and thunderstorms after 5pm. Areas of fog. Otherwise, mostly cloudy, with a high near 64. South wind around 5 mph becoming northeast in the afternoon. Chance of precipitation is 30%. lineups: Twins 1. Jorge Polanco (S) 3B 2. Brian Dozier (R ) 2B 3. Joe Mauer (L) 1B 4. Miguel Sano (R ) RF 5. Eddie Rosario (L) LF 6. Eduardo Escobar (S) SS 7. John Ryan Murphy (R ) C 8. Ricky Nolasco (R ) P 9. Byron Buxton (R ) CF Brewers 1.

Jonathan Villar (S) SS Alright, have a good game! Sadly i am running late for my next appointment... Oh yeah, on the road i passed a jeep towed by an rv. On the spare tire cover on back of this jeep, it said "Fueled by Optimism" It must have been an omen, or sign. But not a road sign, i know what those look like. I suppose it could also have been a symbol or perhaps a metaphor, but that would take literary effort on my part.

Of course... "I ran out of gas. I... I had a flat tire. I didn't have enough money for cab fare. My tux didn't come back from the cleaners. An old friend came in from out of town. Someone stole my car. There was an earthquake. A terrible flood. Locusts! IT WASN'T MY FAULT, I SWEAR TO GOD!"

First glance, i read this as Lilliputian, and tried to envision it. Would have been pretty swift...

Perhaps more like "pieces of 8*" or "shiver me timbers"? *or 9.

Gosh, the game is already over by the time i get round to checking the thread. i blame these changing time zones. anyone else suffer from car lag?

I wouldn't be susprised if Partners in Crime were in my mom's basement. My parents liked Agatha Christie... But yeah, go. Have more courage than the likes of me. But remember failure should not lead to dispair... The future is now.

This sounds like a job for... Fertilizer?

Big difference between mostly dead and all dead...
