Sorry guys, I have to save my likes for the A+ material today. But know that I like all of your posts equally... Unless you're ripping on Mauer or Escobar.

 

I grade on the curve.

Now back to your regularly scheduled programming:

 

So I am trying to finish up some, ah, adult education, and just took an American Government class from a local community college.

 

Unfortunately, I failed the final.

 

It turns out Roe v. Wade isn't a decision on the various methods of illegally entering the US through the southern border.

ok, that's a good one, but like vanimal, I am out of likes for an hours or so.......y'all have been en fuego the last 24 hours!

[Ultima Ratio]

SIAP, just got here: The only players who are hitting are Mauer and Escobar.

 

Ergo, they should be hitting close to if not right after the other, no?  C'mon

 

Maybe two hits can or a walk and hit can get an elusive run in.

[Foghorn Leghorn]

Wonder how many runs we score...if any..

[mickeymental]

can kobe hit? maybe if they sign him to a minor-league contact ...

Probably, if he gets 50 swings a game...

Allow me to bump this one up to four.

 

WHAT IS MOLITOR THINKING?!?!?!

Mollie said on pregame Roserio did ok in the 2 hole in spring training.

A coworker has a birthday today. At our company the team goes out together and the birthday person chooses the restaurant to go to. Keep in mind there's no restrictions on type of restaurant to go to. So what restaurant does this coworker choose?

 

None other than Luby's... for those that are not familiar, think Old Country Buffet style, where their rush hour occurs between 4-5 for the early bird dinner specials...

[rghrbek]

More strike outs

 

and the epidemic continues

[Aggies7]

haha this is so bad.

This is a quote from an Onion article, right?

[Aggies7]

Can someone please lose their job already? I don't care who it is. Manager, owner, GM, batboy. I don't care. It's outrageous what we're witnessing.

I know the Twins are going thru some tough times.... and it is much more enjoyable to live life staying positive, not looking for every little negative.  But at what point do we have to recognize Sir Thomas Brunansky's inability to get this team to recognize what a breaking ball is?  What is our players approach at the plate?  

[ScrapTheNickname]

Look at the smiles on those innocent kids.

[rghrbek]

Best to let Abreu walk here and pitch to the guy batting .176

great post

[Platoon]

We should do prop "bets".

 

Over under on sacrifice bunts today?

Number of comments on Rosario hitting second?

Odds they pinch hit for their catcher TODAY, unlike yesterday?

Double points if they PH Suzuki for Ryan!

[Platoon]

Signing 34 year old OFers......is NOT how a rebuilding team acts. Not a fan. 

 

It is certainly not a ringing endorsement of their MLB OFers, or their AAA OFers......

He has already been moved in front of ABW for a call up:)

[USAFChief]

Run() please.

 

Baby steps.

[James]

Oh great. 

[Mike Sixel]

How do you hit a guy that can't hit a strike? Throw him strikes......but, thank you.

[mickeymental]

if buck can steal three bases, the twins could tie this thing up.

[Mike Sixel]

 

Oh great. 

 

Oh, great, they scored? Oh great, Buxton stole 2nd? Oh great, he's hurt by that pitch? Hard to tell on "gamecast".

[Cap'n Piranha]

Not surprising given they won't even play him at AAA.  Far more important for the future of this franchise that Darin Mastroianni plays.

[woolywoolhouse]

Can the Twins get angry about Buxton getting hit and maybe use it as motivation to do something on offense?

[James]

I'm glad he's ok.  I thought that was a trip to the DL for sure. 

[Puckett34]

Woo!  A baserunner!

I was hoping Arcia would hop out of the dugout and go full sprint towards the mound.
