Open comment thread: Twins vs. White Sox
Posted on April 30th, 2008 – 12:52 PMBy Michael Rand
It’s Wednesday afternoon. It’s sunny outside. You’re stuck in the office checking between RandBall and the Gametracker updates on the Twins/White Sox game (1-1, top of three as of now). Why not kill two birds with one stone and spice things up a little with the RandBall sanctioned open comment thread/office game. We’ll make up the rules as we go along, but here’s a couple to get you started: Every time a Twins player gets a hit, you send an annoying e-mail to a co-worker. At the end of every inning in which the Twins score at least one run, take a lap around the office. If Joe Mauer grounds out to second, tell the nearest person, “See, I told you so!” And so on. The best part is you can play from anywhere. Add on to the rules of the office game in the comments. Anybody make a bold prediction in the comments that comes true will get a guest post tomorrow. How will we determine “bold?” As always, arbitrarily and without sound reason. Now let’s get to it.

In the third inning, the RandBall car may be used for offense or defense.
If AJ gets tossed from the game, you pee on your boss’s desk
Water cooler stand when Nick Punto dives unnecessarily into first base.
Throw something at a co-worker if someone gets beaned. If the batter charges, do the same and go for a Nolan Ryan headlock.
Drink of beverage every time the “daaaaah-da-da-da-dah-dah-dah-dahhhhhh’ music plays. Drink twice if Applecherry talks.
Buy a Kubel jersey when he hits a homerun.
Bold Prediction- Someone other than Kubel or Morneau will hit a HR.
+1, roughkat.
The Mavs fired Avery Johnson
Stay on topic, Rand! GOSH!
Every time the fans boo AJ Pierzynski for no reason, yell at Will Leitch.
If Gardy gets ejected, take off for the rest of the day and go bowling.
…has he been ejected yet this year?
Mauer just grounded to second. I think you know what to do.
Twins score. Leaving for a trip around the office. See, I told you so!
Bold prediction: Before every pitch Joe Nathan will think about Mrs. Cleary from Wedding Crashers.
If you’re listening to the Current online while checking the Game Tracker and just now realize that Lou Reed did a song with the Killers and it sounds just about as awful as you’d expect, throw away all your Velvet Underground CDs.
Bold prediction: Dennis Reyes’ portrayal of Hurley on Lost will nab him an Emmy nomination this fall.
Bold prediction: At some point on his trip around the office, Rand will stumble over a threadbare portion of the carpet.
The game will end with A.J. grounding into a double play.
AJ is up. I hope Leitch can hear me.
Bold Prediction : At dinner.. you’re gonna treat yourself to a vanilla ice cream.. you’re gonna eat it too fast.. you’re gonna get an ice cream headache.. it’s gonna hurt.. real bad..
Game over. 4-3 Twins.
I love the “Videos” on MLB GameCast. Best addition ever.
If a fan can tell you exactly why he/she boos AJ every time he comes to the plate now, as opposed to when he was a Twin, roll eyes in amazement and buy said fan a beer. I almost did today but the guy was wearing a Liriano jersey.
Gomez was safe at home. That’s why the home plate umpire didn’t toss Gardy. Gardy’s been tossed for being less nuts.
Stu - is that true? Lou did that? Thanks for ruining my otherwise beautiful Twins-attending work-blowing off afternoon.
Ramon: swear to Pete. Stirling Morrison is rolling over in his grave.
Stu, sometimes you just gotta kill your idols. I’m sure with a little prodding Moe will kick him in the shins.
Willie’s been getting a little overboard the last couple years. Although I’m more into this than his Ryan Adams stuff:
