Yup, ump called runner's interference on what coulda/woulda/shoulda been a double play ball, and only called the runner out. Sadly, i'm not close enough to have heard what exactly the argument was, though i'm sure that had something to do with it.

Ya might check yer spellin'... i think maybe you meant line-apology? Meh, they're still the twins, so i's gonna root for them!

Well... Now we gotta score 1 run per out to force extras... A stiffer challenge than 1 every other out... Oh well. At least it's a nice day out.

They hummed 'em pretty good, but within range of the fielders... Now hum 'em where they ain't! And whistlin' a few is good too...

A 1-2-3 inning from Swarzak. Maybe we'll get to see Dozier be contrite again?

Yeah, that coulda gone worse... Well stroked Dozier! (after a walk and a double to Hicks and Santana) 6-3

Yeah, that inning could have gone better.

Parmelee got hisself another hit. He's doing pretty good since the call up, no? Alas, erased on a swing and run.

Yeay, winning. And any win against Verlander is a good win, in my humble opinion.

Ketchup too? (i forget all the other optional condiments that have been mentioned...)

A triple? A double? It's an increasing OPS. (or is that an OOPS? How do i know something's an entendre instead of a mixed metaphor?)

Yeah, i was paying attention to the game. I still haven't found the fine line between commenting on the action and jinxing... I feel the answer probably has something to do with the 5th amendment.

Suzuki! 2-0 (was all the hitting up the middle?)

I can't imagine wasabi on horseradishes... That might be a hole in my imagination though.

Will do. Will try to be more informative than a simple like/not like, as amongst friends i've been known for strange tastes. (Personally, although i don't often get the opportunity, i like peanut butter on my hot dogs. Just 'cause i like it on most everything and runny peanut butter really surprises me)

Better or worse than a1 on a hotdog? (Note to self... Research i might actually be able to perform...)

Harmonic convergence? Is that like when a ball gets popped up between 2 outfielders and an infielder? For some reason it reminds me of a flux capacitor...

Wait... What never happened? Did i miss something?

While i know what he (Dick) means, it still feels like something is inaccurate. If i've been paying attention, we had 2 people on the bench yesterday and 1 today? Last i checked, the usual sense of juggling occurs when you have more objects than hands... Anyway... tomorrow is a new day and a new game. I count these games as "interesting times" even if not everything is going our way.

mmmm punch! Wait. Was that a joke you made about not listening attentively? And consequent repetition? Golly, i think i've been one upped! Well done sir! (and I like that the list now goes to 11). Ya know, i think there is plenty of punch to go around! Yeay, verily, the punch bowl runneth over. Only the cool aid glass is half full. Punch and ... Judy? Pie? The New Yorker? A bag of/for?... for some reason the word punch is fraught with associations. Now if only the twins line up can find its punch again in Detroit! Thanks again for an entertaining game thread, even if'n i didn't contribute so much. I too kinda zoned out at the barrage of doubles in the bottom of the 7th...

If you left out 5, how do you even know what 3 8 and 9 are? Oh wait. Repetition... I heard somewhere that was one of the keys to humor. (If memory serves. Tell joke. If funny, repeat until it's not. If not, repeat until it is. something like that.) Anyway, game over, man! There seems to have been a rally. Too bad it was the Indians rallying...

Oh well... Back to a 3 run lead. But i like the outfield assist at second... on a force out. (is that the dark side of the force out?)

(Why not go all out?) He may throw a strike. He looks on. (Or is that hubris?)

Oh well. I guess we lost. Stretching the rubber band...

Aw man! I didn't know we were tryin' to solve the game thread? If we solve it, do the twins win? Might that explain 3 losing seasons? We gotta up our game! Yeah, one assumes cryptic crosswords have solutions, and i don't thing that's safe with game threads...
