Texas vs Minnesota ***Game 4 Thread (SUN-1 PM CST)***

[armadillo slim]

Gophers need to open up a new can of pitchers

Cantu can't lose. Never takes bat off shoulder, gets rbi

 

[Matt Cotcher]

The B1G only announces the conference's Top 6 in their preseason rankings. Minnesota did not make the list.

Marlowe with 4 rib in only two innings

Who is serving ribs in the dugout?  I've got 2 racks on the pit. 

 

[streettopeschel]

That had to be the longest half inning in history.

 

[armadillo slim]

Clemens needed this game. Perfect timing

[streettopeschel]

Poor Gophers can't catch a break

 

[Matt Cotcher]

Dah-nah-nah, Dah-nah-nah

 

[joeywa]

Poor Gophers can't catch a break

Think they're looking for their shadow or something like that.

 

[joeywa]

If you're watching the LHN broadcast, they have had some very good look-ins the last couple of games showing how Skip coaches up his Ps in the dugout between innings.

and Moreland breaks it all down for anybody to understand

 

[armadillo slim]

Was just getting ready to comment on that, and it's nice hearing Moreland interpret what skip is saying

The only way I can stomach Gopher is if it's smothered in BBQ sauce.
