We be tied! (i's happy, but not satisfied)

Santana trips! er, i mean triples!

Gibson strands another runner in scoring position. Have both teams stranded a runner at second and a runner at third now?

I didn't see it (nor am i Halsey) but might it have been one of those "hit and run, and wait at second to see if it is a double or a fly out"?

That had not occurred to me. I went back and looked at the record. Indeed 3 AL teams had losing records: The Yankees, the Orioles, and the Indians. And before inter-league play, those 3 had to lose enough for the other 11. So my hat's off to them for their noble sacrifice in making everyone else feel better. But speaking of tough divisions... 33/115 and 35/122 both apparently round to .287, but the first fraction must be greater than the second, 'cause they list Hunter first in the batting averages. I might have to pull out a calculator to verify...

I say, excellent pitching can make quite a difference...

I haven't noticed that, but it has bugged me a little that i think cleveland plays a video game sound effect every time they score a run. Fortunately that hasn't been too annoying before last inning...

Sounds like a job for... the Thesaurus. But of course, redundancy has its uses.

Cue Chief-esc response in 3...2...

Concur. (once i figured out you meant May, not Plouffe)

Oh well. Tied game following a couple o' hits, perhaps with an assist to Rosario for letting the ball get away from him. (Some theme of 'infielders in the outfield' here isn't quite accurate, but isn't quite off base?)

Well done, Dozier. 1-0 CBU

And it was good. --- Thanks ChiTownTwinsFan (to use your full and proper title) for the briefs on game thread history! If one has ever read a history book, that is nice and too the point. Succinct, you might even say. (I know this 'cause i'm still awake) And truer words ain't never been said. What makes the threads special is everyone's commentary. Anyway, i'm lookin' forward to another exciting game this afternoon. Oh yeah, and echoin' the already expressed mother's day sentiments.

At long last, i think i came up with a comment what does justice to the game thread intro: Too many notes. Teh googels help you if you don't get the reference... Good night everybody!

Winner? Yes. Concur. (just to get them all out of the way.)

Folderol... Now there's a word i don't hear so often. I associate it with madrigals. Nicely put, good ashburyjohn. Speaking of which, Twins pitching seems to have mastered the cardinal rule of show biz: always leave 'em wanting more. I like.

And Schafer finally got on base. There was much rejoicing, but it was Vargas on second, so they didn't send him...

Almost want to see an Indian run, just to answer the question "If a dancing panda bear represents a Twins' run, what represents an Indian's run?" Almost. But not quite.

Oh, yeah. CBU: Twins 4, Cleveland 0 after 4 innings.

Schafer is hustlin' down the line, but twice now has been nipped at first by the shortstop. Oh well. Maybe he should get it past the shortstop instead?

Hunter is a mentorin'.

Would read again, but i have a game to watch...

That's the ticket. A logic problem game thread? (Or at least, pose creative writing as a logic puzzle of some sort... There's something in that idea!)

Golly, i'm sorry. Got it. No more hard times...

(Pssst. That's 3 words. Maybe ya coulda let us infer that tremendous was one word? And that's not counting the entire text of the intro quoted back upon itself...) Awww, shucks. I knew what ya meant. Just givin' ya a hard time. Figured i'd say something while i was taking a break before continuing on to... Chapter iii. Will this masterpiece merit cliff notes?
