Scapegoats are under rocks?

Alfredo Simon is chaste. Er, i mean chased. To the bullpen, and beyond!

Sometimes you stick fork. And sometimes, the fork, well he sticks you. Oh yeah, 3-0 Minnesota entering the bottom of the 3rd. What shall we do? CBU?

Peat to the bunch... (and a better one it was) No worries.

Santana on second after double. Dozier up. Wonder what he'll do? Looks like we're swingin' oars!

Concur.

Suzuki drives in 2. Hicks gets caught goin' to 3rd on the throw. I'll take that.

Get your Hicks... on first base. Loaded up for Suzuki!

Rosario rips a grounder past short. 2 on and none out. CBU

Plouffe plasters it as it passes the plate. First batter on first in the second. (Third batter was on second in the first...) CBU

a naught naught knot or a naught and a half to a naught and a half in an inning and half. pake your tick... CBU

overdue apologies to always33. Frequent and fast shall fans find our fortunes here. Hughes has a happy half inning... CBU

Game Thread, Twins vs Tigers, 7/11 @ 3:05pm CT An exercise in Team effort: Great and glorius was the game thread intro i planned Pining for poetic precurser for our past time. I alighted upon old school epic alliteration Fell me with a feather, finale last night is a fine theme! Waking with wooly eyen, my wits wax but weakly. But, as our brethren of the bats battled last night For naught if but one failed or faultered Preciously posting, courteously crafting I beg, with thy bold swings, line by luscious line Recount the rally, a righteous and rich retelling! (i actually want this to almost work, so forgive my single mindedness, i'll not distract ya, except to say...) There's also a game today. I hope we win this one as well, but i don't need quite so much drama... (not that i'll complain if i get it) Gametime Forecast: 80°F • Mostly Cloudy • 13% PoP Tigers: Alfredo Simon ® 1. Ian Kinsler ® 2B 2. Yoenis Cespedes ® LF 3. Victor Martinez (S) DH 4. J.D. Martinez ® RF 5. Marc Krauss (L) 1B 6. Nick Castellanos ® 3B 7. James McCann ® C 8. Jose Iglesias ® SS 9. Rajai Davis ® CF Twins: Phil Hughes ® 1. Brian Dozier ® 2B 2. Torii Hunter ® RF 3. Joe Mauer (L) 1B 4. Miguel Sano ® DH 5. Trevor Plouffe ® 3B 6. Eddie Rosario (L) LF 7. Aaron Hicks (S) CF 8. Kurt Suzuki ® C 9. Danny Santana (S) SS Have at it!

For the sake of art...

Thanks all for the company!

Yes.

Props where props are due...

Suzuki comes through again. (just feelin' my meager prognostication is perhaps vindicated, not by the depth of the dinger, but by the breadth... And so continues the Conga inning, Thank you, Santana!

Some songs just write themselves, eh?

Gotta build up dramatic tension!

Concur. Now Hicks, the remember the hip action is crucial to a good conga line...

How do the words go again? "Conga conga con-Ga"

I'd been meaning, as per the intro, to call one inning the conga line inning, and this is as good as any...

Hope he gets a few more hits tonight...

Pop quiz. How do the Twins score 6 runs or more in 3 innings?
