They Said It Was Fhqwhgads!
SHORT PREGAME
Not much to say, gotta pay attention to Good Eats tonight - Alton's teaching us how to make mac-n-cheese. Easy you say? Yeah, if you use a box, but I'm gonna do this like three the hard way.
One word will suffice: BOOOOOOOF
TOP 1ST
This recipe looks good, but I also see that an unearned run has crossed the plate. Who lost it in the lights? I want names!
BOTTOM 1ST, RAYS UP 1
I'm so making fried macaroni and cheese tomorrow.
TOP 2ND
Span? I can't believe it! OK I can.
Has Hinske always killed us, even when he was with Toronto? Or Boston? Who the hell has he played for?
Bonser... looks like a prairie dog who is popping out of his hole to say hey what's up guys.
Double play!
BOTTOM 2ND, TBR 2 MNT 0
How is Joe Va-va-vroom still hitting coach? I think Telly needs to Telly it like it is and say hey, maybe it's time for a new guy.
You wanted to win now, huh Dlmon? Try hitting a dinger.
I'm a big believer in you, Kubel Khan. Everybody looks ugly sometimes.
TOP 3RD, SAME
kayla, how does one kinda wear a shirt two days in a row? Like, only during game time? Otherwise, kinda gross, not gonna lie.
"That's what you want to do as a pitcher, one pitch one out." Bert, very insightful. Aah, the elusive 27-pitch perfect game.
BOTTOM 3RD, SAME OLD
Hey, a baserunner!
kayla, well yeah he was trying to make it up to me. I'm very influential out here in backwater Virginia.
"Bartlett bobbles it." Weird. Kidding, Pear King, that's a tough play.
Go[m]ez will steal in 5...4...3...2...1
But I'll take a hit from Toblerone instead, like a chocolate caramel toffee what the hell else is in those things?
Oh that hurts Joe. Much love, but that hurt.
TOP 4TH, RAYS OF TAMPA 2 TWINS OF MINNESOTA 1
In case anybody was wondering where the title of this post came from:
It's better than watching the game right now! People like Gomez, this is why the cutoff man was invented. You think Roberto Clemente needed a cutoff man? No, he didn't. I'm also 50 and your dad.
"One of those statistics you can't research or prove..." Dick, as a Political Scientist in training, I can say those are our favorite kinds!
An imaginary conversation:
RK: Boof, what's goin' on?
BB: I miss 2006
RK: Oh yeah? Why's that?
BB: That was back when my curveball curved, my breaking ball breaked, and I won a few games.
RK: I feel you. How do you get back to that level?
BB: I don't know
RK: I do. CRAWDADS.
Oh Bert, if they named the team where they played, you'd have the New Jersey Jets and Giants, and nobody wants that
BOTTOM 4TH, 3-1 ST. PETERSBURG
Hey! A double I didn't get to see because I had to see Kevin McHale be a terrible GM first!
Bartlett commits errors, Non-model guy (it's an anagram) gets RsBI. Fair trade!
Science people, I'm thinking about nickname Mike Lamb "lambda" somehow or another. What is lambda? I feel like I've used it in my methods classes, but that was like, oh a year ago, and I can't be expected to remember this stuff now.
TOP 5TH, RESIDENCE HALL R.A.s 3, COORS LIGHT TWINS 2
Well SARS is loosening up, that's good.
It's true Stacey, it's the way to go. Especially for guys like me in theory land who aren't all concerned about "methods" or "statistics" or "making sense"
Boof, you need to get off the mound and get into a bucket-o-crawdads.
He also really needs to do something with his hair. Looks like a toupee. Hat hair, I understand. Get off my back!
Aw hell, come on Span.
I was planning on putting the finishing touches on my thesis tonight but I may just do it now. This is ugly.
Oh my God everything is going wrong. It's like the Twins are a microcosm of my life.
Finally out of the inning.
BOTTOM 5TH, RAYS 4000, TWINS 2
One of my friend's moms is a Spamette down in Austin.
l, you are (presumably) brilliant! I did indeed go nuts. In fact, I took Kanye's advice and went ahead went nuts went apeshit.
Lambda: The set of logical axioms in the axiomatic method of logical deduction in first-order logic.
Between that and the Spartan shield, I think there's a lot of potential here.
It's almost like Mauer is playing Starfox 64 and Peppy Hare is giving him the sage advice to "Never give up! Trust your instincts!"
Dammit Dlmon, come on! I should know better by now.
TOP 6TH, 7 TO 3
l, for getting the Starfox reference, you get fan of the day. Which I just started. Right now. I love that game, and I barrel roll all the way through it.
Pickoff! Dare I hope for a comeback?
BOTTOM 6TH, SAME
Well I missed that.
TOP 7TH, SAME
This Matt Guerrier guy, we should hold on to him. Hold onto him? This often confuses me. You might think I'd be better in my native tongue.
BOTTOM 7TH, SAME SCORE
Sorry, I got to writing a few sentences and I missed it. But it looks like I didn't miss much! I heard "double play," so the earth continues to spin on its axis apparently.
TOP 8TH
Silly Rays, do not run on Joe. He'll mow you down like the Valentine's Day massacre. History!
Totally grasping at straws of good things here.
BOTTOM 8TH
The pitching coach was actually up there singing from the musical score to the HMS Pinafore
You have got to be kidding me. ANGER SALAD
TOP 9TH
l, I can tell you what I'm feeling about this game: barf.
Black Satan Death Bone must have released a new album to reinvigorate Neshek.
BOTTOM 9TH LET'S GO
Oh whatever.
POSTGAME
I like this idea of fan of the game on this here site, because, in a moment of sincerity, I like it. I need it. I thrive on it.
So to you, l, today's fan of the game: check out her site!

psssht. yeah, only during game time. see, i wore it to school yesterday... and now i'm wearing it again, only at game time. i have a long-sleeved shirt on underneath. so.
i think span was trying to make it up to you because he just swiped a base.

oooh, as a political scientist in training as well, I have to agree on the statistics you can't research or prove. That line might have to go in my thesis.

lambda is one of those statistics used to test mean differences among a couple groups. it might have a more specific use but that escapes me at the moment.
I'm still pushing for Mint Jelly as Lamb's name, personally.

Lambda (lowercase) in chemistry is used to represent the wavelength of light...but according to Wiki, it's a lot more than that.

Here, go nuts.
(And what the heck, I left my room to get food and it was 2-1, now it's 7-2...)

I could see Lammers in Sparta...he'd have to buff up a bit, but definitely.
And thanks, I have my brilliant moments every now and then.

I don't know how I'm feeling about this game, and I also don't think I can compete with the baby that Dick and Bert chose for Fan of the Game.
that settles it. Neshie only pitches in the Dome until June. You'd think for a Minnesota boy he could handle the cold a little better than he does.

The fact that I am still fan of the game makes the fact that I am still doing calculus makes me happy.
Thanks for the shout out, too!
