1. I predict a blow out in the home team's favor tonight

   1. i may be wrong on my prediction

      1. A bit of friendly advice, wattsy: Stay far, far away from Vegas.

         1. Wattsy's mentioned he's never had a drink...hopefully this can be extrapolated to say he's never made a bet.

            1. I have been under heavy medication lately, trying to fight off a stupid summer flu

   2. you forgot to carry the one.

2. Le menu at Chez Hayes this evening: Grilled chicken kebabs marinated in Greek yoghurt, cayenne, Hungarian sweet paprika, tomato paste, garlic, white wine vinegar, and sliced lemons. Fresh-picked green beans with butter-stewed shallots. Jasmine rice. And a nice bottle of this, picked up on our recent trip to Akron.

   1. verrry nice. When are you gonna do a full The Nation Has An Appetite post, CH??

      1. Yeah, about that mustard... that would be a nice to feature for an upcoming pork post...

         1. In that case, directions will be up tomorrow, meat.

      2. Before the semester starts sounds like a good idea. I've got photos for a mustard post in the can, but an actual meal should be doable.

      3. Wasn't exactly sure how to upload photos ...

         1. sean can get you set up to post, Bo. You've been sucking on the teat here long enough. 'bout time you started contributing as a bona fide author 🙂

            1. Was taking photos, etc. but not sure how to get to the W'Gom.

               1. Since Spoons already gave you authorship privileges, when you're writing your tantalizing post, you can easily add images. Just above the writing area, you'll see "Upload/Insert" with some images to its right. The first one looks sort of like a picture and that's how you can add images. Click it and you'll be presented with a way to upload images that will automatically be inserted in your post. Rearrange to fit the narrative and then either publish it, or schedule it for lunch time the following day to make everyone drool until they can make it for dinner.

            2. That's the kind of thing that I run, actually (and anyway, NBB already had those permissions).

            3. Fair nuff, bS.

3. Dick n Bert had less bad things to say about the possible murder on the mound than they did about the Twins rotation.

4. "Randall" Simon, socal? That would be interesting.

5. is Swizzlesticks warming up?

   1. Swingset's in the rotation now, right? Who's the new long man?

      1. Kevin Slowey?

         1. I think it's Dumatrait. This game isn't gonna get any prettier.

6. nice stop by juicy, but what the hell was that afterwards?

7. sheesh, first thing I hear when I power up Gameday audio is an Earl Weaver special. gonna be a quick evening

8. Surprise, surprise, surprise.

9. Brian Done-sing am I right?

10. Time to let Cuddy mop up.

11. Good Lord these guys are no fun.

12. So, it's going to be this kind of game.

    1. focus, people. FOOD POSTS!!!!

       1. and on the grill: hot 'n spicy brat w/colby jack cheese, lime-tainted chips, pineapple slices, a tall glass of moo-juice, and a bowl of ice cream

          1. Barbecued chicken, corn on the cob and raspberries from my patch.

          2. mmm, lime taint.

             1. No. Noooooo.

                1. If I could like something it would be this response to lime flavor additive

                   1. You prefer the Clamato Chelada flavor?

                      1. No. Nooooo.

                         1. Kelly Wells likes this.

          3. baked potatoes, sauteed broccoli, leftover grilled chicken, salad and iced tea. And a North Coast Black Hart Irish Dry Stout.

13. Speaking of memes that die hard around here: the 2011 Twins suck.

    1. Only 8 more days until we can start working on "Get to Know 'Em" again!!!!111one111!!

14. Is that 47 pitches this inning, or just so far in the game?

15. I haven't been to ND in three weeks. Tomorrow AM, I'm heading out, which means I'm heading to bed early.

    1. i think i'm heading towards an early episode of game of thrones...

       1. Episode 6 of Breaking Bad for me.

          1. I don't remember precisely what that episode is, but I can guess, and every guess is better than this game.

             1. I should have been more clear, Season 4.

                1. Snap, you're a season and a half ahead of me. I assume it's still awesome, but I have no frame of reference.

    2. glad the Twins could oblige you tonight

16. That's how bad this team is: Dick and Bert talk about Bert's ass for five minutes, and I don't even think it's a huge waste of time.

    1. Bert's Ass pretty much sums up this Twins team.

       1. I don't know...Bert's a HOFer with a sweet curveball. This team is more like...Les Straker's Ass.

          1. Well, Les was a World Champion. This is more like Randy St. Claire's Ass.

             1. Wow, we're in obscure territory now.

                1. Every time I opened a pack of '89 Topps, I hoped for a Twin. I almost always got Randy St. Claire.

                   By the by, don't image search "Randy St. Claire" with safe search off.

                   1. That name just sounds porny, doesn't it?

                      At any rate, being who I am, I keep the SafeSearch on as a rule.

                   2. is it safe to image search anything with safe search off?

                      1. As one who's attempted to find stuff from his kids' favorite TV shows, I think I can say no.

                         1. rule 34, eh?

             2. Adam Johnson's

                1. Winner!

                   1. only time he's heard that term used with his name

                      1. One of the only two kids I ever had to fire was named Adam Johnson. I wanted to say, "It's not your fault. It's just a loser name you've got."

                2. can't be Adam Johnson's. I don't think anybody with the big club got enough of a sniff to be able to identify. How about Willie Banks'?

                   1. Pat Mahomes?

                      1. Sal Campisi

17. I'm thinking that maybe a WGOM outing to Target Field could happen. Stub hub should have plenty of cheap tix in September.

    1. Have a trip planned to Minny 'round Taco Daze in Scandia (8/9-11) for this Boyo. Let me know if would work with WGOMery.

       1. Twins not in town then, which may be a blessing. I'm sure that I will be in town and I'm sure that a few of us oldsters would love to hang out for awhile.

    2. 9/26!

       1. I should be in town, then, too.

          1. the later, the better.

18. boos, and rightly so

19. More suckage.

20. Even more suckage.

21. I feel for the dunce. Really, I do.

22. I am happy that I decided not to turn on the mlb.com radio tonight. I can blithely ignore the results and focus on FOOD.

    1. I just had some sinful ice cream: Bonaroo Buzz.

    2. tuesday is the night Dr. Chop teaches late so we had boca taco (not really inspiring), but tomorrow will feature baking a loaf of soda bread and making a heap of spring rolls featuring spicy tofu.

       1. ooh. What's your recipe for spicy tofu?

          I made a stirfry a few nights ago with green beans, mushrooms and deep-fried tofu. Big hit with the chill'n.

          1. I toss tofu spears with red chili sesame oil and a few drops of sriracha, pan fry with garlic, salt and pepper. More sriracha if that's how the day is going.

23. Sweet Danny V. doesn't care what the score is!

24. cheap HR. What's the WPA on that one?

    1. .025

    2. How A.Roddy of him. Empty stats!

25. Nice to see Butters putting a doughnut on his bat in the on-deck circle just as Danny stepped into the dugout.

26. I think Butera should bunt whenever there's a man on. Even with two strikes.

    1. And even with two outs. Miracles happen!

27. It's one thing to lose. But do they have to play like my old legion team?

    1. or my current softball team

28. Just noticed Oliveros is wearing Neshek's old number. That kind of bums me out.

    1. What? You wanted it retired?

       1. I sent pat a print in the mail, and he sent me a signed baseball and a note explaining that the print matched his basement. I enjoyed the hell out of that.

          1. Awesome. While he was with Minnesota, or post-Twins?

             1. That was early in his career with the Twins. The next year I sent him two more in return for two more baseballs for my brothers.

       2. It just seems so soon, that's all. It's not as bad as Dumatrait wearing Guerrier's number. Oh, if only.

          1. Or GoGo wearing Bradke's

29. i saw that earlier in the game we had something like 41 users online, but 18 were bots. well, it seems like even the bots got sick of this game.

30. good game for doing some more online trading. got an Alex Wimmers auto card in the mix right now. is it the 9^th yet?

    1. It's the ninth in a couple of other games. Just watch one of those.

31. This is the perfect spot to pitch Neck Fat.

32. Evening folks. I see that my decision to work out was the correct one.

33. man, the only way this gamelog could get at all spirited is if I spilled hard liquor on the laptop.

    I have a good book waiting for me; think I'll call it a night (not like I was paying attention to the game as it was)

34. I think Dick just discovered Wikipedia.

35. The Original Groundskeeper!

    1. he raises my eyre.

       1. Mustard post's in the can, Doc.

          1. Exxxxcellent, CH.

36. So season ticket package F continues its wonderful luck of seeing a whole lot of Butera and the Dunce. The package has had ONE game in which the Twins won so far this season (and I believe only one game of Joe Mauer starting at catcher). That's amazing.
