Pitching matchup:

 

MIN: Milone (8-4, 3.54)
CWS: Quintana (8-10, 3.60)

 

Today the Twins look to get a win from the White Sox, and the A's want to beat the Rangers.

#1 Thing to Think About: Minor League Playoffs - The Kernels beat Quad City in the first round of the playoffs, and Max Kepler came up huge for the Lookouts in their first game, but that isn't the whole reason why we are thinking about MILB playoffs. The real reason why we are thinking about MILB playoffs is because we are Twins fans, and Twins fans have a habit of saying, "Well, there are always Minor League games, and the playoffs are fun..." unless you are also a Packers fan, then you go root for the Pack in the fall, but we just might want to hang in here a little longer.

#2 Football versus Baseball - Football can be fun, but it can be kind a soap opera at times, with players and commissioners playing games with each other, and referees making really awful calls, and thinking they can redefine what a catch is, (or is that the rule book?) but in the end it all comes down to fans of 31 teams whining and complaining about The Great NFL Conspiracy, and fans of another team screaming, "You are just poor losers! Play by the rules!" Baseball is much more civilized and respectable, except for a few unruly managers, and it won't be big news if the Twins go a season without arrests.

#3 Good Guys - Our Good Guys have been playing above what many expected coming out of spring training, and with a win last night they eliminated the possibility of a 90 loss season, plus they are only one game back of a playoff spot, making them not only Good Guys, but good players. Twins Daily members' favorite Good Guy has become Miguel Sano, passing up guys like Glen Perkins, Trevor Plouffe, and Eduardo Escobar.

 

#4 Spam - Twins Daily has been having a lot of spam lately, so much that they have added new moderators to help ban these spammers, but these degenerate creatures of darkness are still trying to make life miserable for our moderators, so I propose that we members help out, and report these bloggers whenever we see these posts, so the mods don't accidentally leave some "watch so and so versus such a one live!!" posts up with uncapitalized letters and all, because any new people coming to Twins Daily might think, "This is what their blogs are like? How stupid."

 

 

Good Guys:

 

Aaron Hicks CF

Brian Dozier 2B

Joe Mauer 1B

Miguel Sano DH

Trevor Plouffe 3B

Torii Hunter RF

Eduardo Escobar SS

Kurt Suzuki C

Byron Buxton CF

 

Evil Enemies:

 

Adam Eaton CF

Melky Cabrera DH

Jose Abreu 1B

Avisail Garcia RF

Trayce Thompson LF

Alexei Ramirez SS

Mike Olt 3B

Geovany Soto C

Carlos Sanchez 2B

 

And tomorrow I am going to my first SPCO concert of the season, and we also have this:

I just hope the Twins dont get TOO CUTE with the rotation the rest of the way, dont fix what isnt broken, is a good motto to follow, and I believe we are 14-6 in our last 20 games.......I dont mind a 6 man, just dont like the idea of thinking you can mix and match game by game your starter.......save that for the last week, if we still have that chance. :)

Hrbowski, wow, a veritable pantheon of enemies in your post. Twins fans in particular and MN sports fans in general will be booing at their computers.

LOLOLOL. The Twins have sent five men to the plate, and the Sox have four distinct misplays.

 

Poor Dozier.

Yeah the crowd here was none too happy. Lots of boos.

Would've been nice to get one more hit in the top of the first.  4-0 sounds a ;lot better than 2-0.

Don't be greedy Chief. We need to suffer from undue stress at some point in this game. :)

MLB should not require teams to fly all the way to Chicago. There is no need to be there, since they beat themselves without any help whatsoever?

I haven't had a chance to really game thread tonight. I'm watching the game... My Wife Called and I got to do some Michigan State Trivia Hunting for tomorrow.

 

I'm heading to Lansing... I'm going to be on the ESPN Game Day stage during commercials to Pump up the Crowd... GIve away stuff and ask trivia questions and other things.

 

Michigan State vs Oregon should draw a decent sized crowd. I'd think.

Anyway we can find out how that went?

 

Or do we just have to patient and wait to be told?

Where are your seats tonight, Chi?

Similar to last night but on the 3rd base side this time. The club level seating is nice as they have wait service so you don't miss anything.
