It was my failing... I saw the empty "lineups and weather" post, and thought i was helping. It since got edited to be somewhat less empty. I double checked (i think) and the line ups include the same people in the same order. So at worst, perhaps it is a branch point into an alternative universe. The other leg of the trousers of time, as Pratchett put it...

A whole hour until game starts... "I hate waiting!" -Sr. Montoya

I must admit it. You are better than i am. Almost a 50% increase in names in your line up. I bow to your expertise in "Nameology"

"And then?" (Too lazy to look for associated video clip...)

"Nothing could possibly be more satisfactory."

I am content. What's on the menu for tomorrow?

Yes. Here's to your unerring financial acumen!

Not sure i've seen it either... If i get a chance, i'll check it out. But it didn't seem like a particularly strange response to my query... It was an example, i think, of how small steps can take you very widely afield, if you aren't paying attention...

In the Majors. I'm pretty sure he did it a time or two for the Lookouts.

Not gonna get me that easy! Chief told me not to explain jokes... (And for my next trick, i'm gonna jump a shark. Should be safe if there's no milk involved...)

Plouffe is not Dozier. Dozier is not Plouffe. Brian is not Trevor. Trevor is not Brian. That sufficient? (I got bored with cut and paste...)

Probably not, as I can't imagine anyone publishing my writing. But we could be symptomatic of the same inattention to detail...

My bad. I must remember. Plouffe is not Dozier. Plouffe is not Dozier. Plouffe is not Dozier. (Wait, how many times was i supposed to cut and paste it again?)

I feel stupid... Show's how closely i'm following the game. That was Plouffe. That's less unpossible. (sorry, i guess i'm used to Rosario after Dozier...)

Rosario with wheels. Beats out the dribbler down the first base line. Pitcher waits in hopes it rolls foul.

How does a cat milk a strawberry?

I beg to differ. Dozier did in fact, double to right.

How do you milk a strawberry?

Six in the books Twins up, Six two That's how it looks This C. B. U. (Burma Shave)

They keep trying to get it by Beckham and it ain't working. Someone on the White Sox is fielding his weight...

Well, at this point, no blood, no foul... And that sort o' play is why ya try and give 'em enough playing time to keep sharp.

Winning weird? Or weirdly winning?

Concur. Do moments of silence exist on game thread? Or some equivalent?

And Mauer ties the game.
