Kepler, in July.

I see what you did there.  Sneaky.

First Twins home run in 2016: Go!

Buxton... But fans don't get to keep inside the parkers, do they?

 

But alas, it gets scored a triple with Buxton advancing on the throw home...

Welcome aboard the New Baseball Season, everyone.

 

I hope you're all stretched out and ready to go. Bring your best every day, even if your best is just typing in some lame (I mean funny) comments.

I wish it were me, but I'm pretty sure someone has already beat me to it. 

[70charger]

Are we doing this thing?

rain delay to start the season.

 

stupid MLB.

It is a rain delay, but the rain isn't being delayed...

 

Funny that.

It doesn't look like the rain will let up until 7 PM or so, surprised they waited until game time to announce the delay. Who knows when they'll get going.

[Cap'n Piranha]

If the game is delayed, why did they do the national anthem?

 

Also, say the game has to be postponed until tomorrow--do they do the anthem again, or is that permanently crossed off the list?

See, I assumed you were asking who would be the first to crack a beer.  

 

That is a solid choice though.  

 

Mine will be one of a Surly Xtra-Citra Pale Ale, Schell's Maifest, or some sort of home brew.

[mikecgrimes]

Would they wait 3 hours?  This doesn't look good.

sierra whiskey echo echo tango.

[mikecgrimes]

I guess this explains why there were closer to 10,000 fans then a sellout during introductions.

[mikecgrimes]

I know they don't plan for this but video packages during an opening day delay?  I'd rather hear about Bert's birthday.

[Foghorn Leghorn]

It's hardly raining! Play you big babies!

They wanted to lock as many fans in the stadium as possible.

 

If you've ever walked a Baltimore street, it's really for their own safety though, it's a total public service.

[big dog]

Lagunitas for me...but I have to get home from work first.

Have you been to Baltimore? The part of town Camden is in is really, really nice.
Yeah sure, Baltimore has some terrible areas, but that's like saying Chicago is a garbage city because of the southside.

[DiscGolfer]

Looks like the heaviest of it should pass soon enough, might be some light rain later but they should be able to play through it once it starts.

Twins daily is the place to be.

Game-threadin' is the life for me.

"Corn" spreadin' out so far and wide.

Keep Dan Gladden just gimme that RB smile.

Fat Tire.

New Belgium FINALLY has come to the northeast, so picked up some in Jersey over the weekend and "smuggled" back to NY.

 

They start selling in NY in May which is great. Fat Tire is almost a perfect "drinking" beer that most anyone can enjoy.

I would have written "manure spreadin," but that's probably just me

Don't you have a refrigerated drawer in your desk to store your beer? Sheesh.

I believe that the Twins request to start the season on the road.  The try to push the home opener back as far as possible hoping for warmer weather.  Of course it really is moot as MLB tries to get every teams home opener completed within the first 7-10 days of the season anyway.

 

Well, they should stop. Statistically speaking, the odds of good weather on April 4th is almost the same as on April 11th.

 

1 year out of 20 maybe.

 

Not nearly enough to justify passing up the allure of OPENING DAY vs "opening day"

No...but I did have a bottle of Jameson's in my office closet for a while.  Unfortunately, I drank it all (over a period of several years and with a couple of colleagues) and have not replaced it.  My bad.
