Alright... gotta run... good night all

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

I can't watch the game, but according to twitter, she tripped twice.

I'd be happy to see them both walk off the field under their own power.

Are we all talking about the same thing here?? just asking...

Polanco hits a dinger!

You left on that joke??? Brian, you really need this ST.

4 more days, and that'll be me in those stands.

I went to school at the University of Rhode Island of North Dakota

At Hoople.

Time for dinner for me as well.  Hopefully the Twins won't have coughed up the lead when I come back.

[Seth Stohs]

I enjoy seeing guys like Eric Farris, Jose Martinez, Heiker Meneses, Danny Ortiz, Dan Rohlfing and Argenis Diaz play.

I smoked a chicken for dinner. Baked potato, homemade frozen sweet corn. Fresh bread right from the oven. Last glass from a bottle of really good chianti. Couple episodes of House of Cards during dinner.

 

Since I can't watch the Twins, trying to find ways to make it less painful.

Winter seems sooo much easier, once I can see baseball again!!!

Loved the Twins lineup and have more belief in Molitor than I did, it may be a fun and rewarding season!

[Linus]

I like seeing Molitor wearing an actual jersey.  The old Gardy look of a windbreaker to hide the beer belly had run its course (the Bill Belecheck of MLB).

Chief, how is sweet corn homemade?

Finished House of Cards this last weekend, really good. BUT, nothing beats that first game of Spring

Maybe this is why I don't often read Game Threads, but, guys, what actually happened in the, u know, baseball game?

In ST you get your work in, during a couple of innings, then head to the buffet.

In-game commentary is always welcome.   But I suspect I'm a little typical, in that I drift in, catch up on what's going on, and then something inevitably calls me away.   They need to double my pay if I'm going to get serious about doing PbP.

Little embarrassing having the Gophers leading the Twins....probably a result of that error from the no-name 2nd baseman.

Buxton starts the Twins inning with a double!

James Beresford

 

is not a no name?!?!?     If it wasn't for Brian Dozier , chances are either HE or Nunez would be our opening day starter at 2B !

 

James Beresford?   you don't remember him, like 80% of the 6 scouts the Twins have LOVED him , and i remember them saying if he fills out his upper body (which it looks he has) he'll be a solid 'little' player.

 

Maybe i'm thinking of Rob Antony or Brad Steil that said that but i swear it was quoted directly from a scout.

 

 

 

Also, If Rosario is going to keep swinging at nearly everything.....I'm not so sure he'll ever hit consistantly at the MLB level.

 

I miss his E-TOWn swing and the Low A power stroke, i think he's tweaked it for the better. (obviously) 

 

But he's got to start taking pitches and drawing walks.  Otherwise clean or not Rosario is a quad A guy for me.
