The glorious return of office baseball
Posted on June 18th, 2009 – 11:59 AMBy Michael Rand
It’s everybody’s favorite workday game: Office Baseball! The rules change every time the Twins have a mid-week day game. You’ll notice The Chosen One is getting a day of rest from being awesome. We like to picture our Joe Mauer in a tuxedo T-Shirt because it says, like, “I want to be formal, but I’m here to party too.” Also, Delmon Young gets the day off today. Must be exhausted from all those great at bats last night. The rules of today’s game (no TV, by the way):
*If it rains, complain about the lack of a roof on Target Field. If it’s nice out, complain about the Metrodome. If it’s not raining but it’s humid and uncomfortable everywhere, complain about Nick Punto.
*If Brian Buscher reaches base safely, send $10 to an Internet scammer.
*If the Twins lose this series to the Pirates — who really aren’t as terrible as we thought, record-wise — still go ahead and empty a bag of smelly gym clothes under a co-worker’s desk.
