This is a perfect example of why spell check is an insidious device. I have let my usual nimble brain atrophy to the point where I can't tell a tasty treat from square miles of finely ground rock! I yearn for the bygone days of yesteryear, when men were men, and women were women, and Bigfoot was Sasquatch, and the Webster was law! .

Lol ... the trick I learned in grammar school was the one you want two of is the one with 2 s's. You're welcome.

I might add, that any male making a comment on his significant others ability to make a tasty treat actually taste like the aforementioned square miles of finely ground rock, will have his post copied and forwarded to the aggrieved.

[Squirrel]

Mine are still here. 

 

I hate West Coast games.

I work tonight so will have the game on my computer. Will get home around 11, so will watch to the end.

This could explain why I was in the third grade for several years. My mom always told me it was because the teacher liked me so much!

Calvin Coolidge on the cooking of his wife, Grace:

 

 

GRACE'S COOKING

Grace Coolidge did all the cooking and housework in their home. Coolidge used to drop one of her biscuits on the floor and stamp his foot to emphasize the thud. He said they were awful hard. The first time Grace made an apple pie, it came out tough. After she offered it to a couple of her friends, he asked them: "Don't you think the road commissioner would be willing to pay my wife something for her recipe for pie crust?"

If the Twins have a second half similar to their excellent 49-40 first half, they will..

 

finish 98-80.

Before the season, most predicting 80 losses would have been considered optimistic.  Now it would be a disappointment. 

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Play ball.

[spinowner]

Unreal.

[T.C.]

MVP! MVP! MVP!

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

LOL Dozier

[David HK]

Wow!  Woo- hoo!!  I'm glad he's on our team!  

The question always remains, tho-- why do opposing pitchers ever throw anything above the belt to our guy?  I'm glad they still do...  

 

Way to go, All-Star--  good start to the 2nd half!

[stringer bell]

There's the official #20!

[David HK]

 

You split a desert??? Which one? The Gobi? The Mojave? Or maybe the Kalahari? Wow! Cool!

 

 

 

tee hee <snark snark snark> tee hee

I love a good Gobi, the one with the caramel sauce...

So nice to see a Twins pitcher toss a scoreless first.

This is such a nice year of getting nice things that we've been missing for too long now.  It feels so.... fresh!  

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

not with 98 wins.

We're just having fun

[DiscGolfer]

no hitter through 2

[sampleSizeOfOne]

I think Dozier gets to bat this inning...

 

Won't that be nice.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

A's now average a runner per inning stranded...

[stringer bell]

A little dicey in the bottom of the third, but Santana pitches around a Dozier error and two scratch hits. 1-0 after 3. CBU.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Oh yeah...

 

1-0 start of 4th.

 

Dozier Dinger Difference.

 

A DDD CBU

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Twins escape a jam in bottom 3rd

 

Ervin Santana got Bigfoot to pop out to Plouffe with the bases loaded.

[twinsnorth49]

One of the earliest GOTN candidates we've had in awhile.

[DaveW]

Santana looking much better than last week

GOTN?

[stringer bell]

Fly Ball Phil has an air out partner. Santana has no walks or strikeouts and only one ground ball through four innings. Twins 1-0 after four. CBU.
