ugh. I'm going to go get lunch.

c'mon, scott ... get out of this.

yeah ... me too ... but is okay ... need to keep it at a certain level to be work appropriate

aaargh ... lay off those high ones

Lady? heh ... I'm no lady ... I'm Bark's mom! edit: No offense to Bark's real mom. I'm sure she's a fine lady. Seriously.

Okay, well ... darn ... we scored too many runs last night or we could've had a record! (Just looking for positives, as Chief has said)

Not to keep bringing up a horrible night, but what is the worst loss the Twins have ever sustained? That game has got to be up there.

Heh ... this could be the start of a drinking game. But since I'm at work .... oh wait, how did that bottle of scotch make its way into my drawer ... hmm ...

2. Think about Scott Diamond. Am hoping he can bring his AAA confidence up to the majors and turn it around.

For me the game thread provides an alternative to the typical thread. As I said above, it's a different animal. I was a more involved poster on BYTO than I am here as the way the threads here become, or in some cases, start. They get over-run with same posters beating a point into the ground that the actual information wanes or has been stated 100 times over that it's no longer enjoyable to read, not to mention the posters who can never get past a single theme and spiral every thread into that. But you hit on a point ... 'I mean it's fine when we have a losing season ...' I bet when there is more to talk about than mostly abysmal game watching things will change. As you said, let's have a winning season to compare what we have. But, even in a winning season, I would still hope the game threads keep their light-hearted feel. While I'm not a casual fan, I'm also not going to bring my spread sheets, stats reports, and rule book to a game.

And reading it does worse for me. Blecht.

heh ... well ... I have my health issues, too ... but baking is good for me ... I give most of it all away.

I think they do. Game threads are where people hang to watch the game and chatter. Sometimes it's about baseball, often about other stuff. It's not a forum thread or an article; it's a different 'animal.' Would you sit at a baseball game and spend the entire game debating a baseball issue in a manner of a typical forum thread? Or would you be sitting there with your pals, beer in hand, commenting on this or that bad call, good/bad play, in game stuff, while mixing in talk about your day, your job, life in general? Personally, I find the game threads refreshing after reading most of the forum threads. And for someone who is outside of 'Twins' Territory,' it's not like I can gather at the local watering spot to catch the game with a group of like-minded fans.

Don't apologize to him ... apologize to me!

Supposed to frost them, but I think I just might melt some chocolate and drizzle it over the top.

Well ... you saw the one; here is the other, peanut butter brownies:

I like Mrs. Chief. Smarter than all of us!

I can't believe I still have this game on.

Yikes. I hope this wasn't you or I'd really worry about you.

Fine. Then I will be sending you no care packages!

WTF happened??? Sheesh ... leave to finish my baking ... and ... and ... that is very sad.

Good times wouldn't be my first thought.

heh ... I'm pretty tricky, eh?

This has been debated over and over so I won't get into with you ... we just need to agree to disagree.

Hey ... you guys create your own dirt with each and every game thread. I'm just facilitating.
