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.

I never heard of that case? Did that the one involving Tommy Roe?

[James]

 

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

 

 

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

Seth said in the minor league update that ABWII is dealing with an oblique strain, which is why he's not playing.

 

Also, they Twins should be trying to reduce the number of stikeouts.  ABWII will probably not help with that.

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...

Are you taking your new GF? (If you do, stay away from the herring buffet!)

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

 

The answer is no. No they can't.

[Cap'n Piranha]

 

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

 

Hahahaha, Arcia sprinting.

A mentally weak team without a leader. That's what we have. How many straight scoreless innings are we up to now?

[James]

 

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

The radio broadcast made it sound like Buxton was really hurt by that pitch.  

 

The mentioned something about him cringing after stealing second.  I hope he really is ok.

Brock, you need to install a "sarcasm" button on here! I can't take anymore of this!

[70charger]

Just tuned in. These announcers make me want to claw my earballs out.

 

Also, Kepler's in center now.

[Mike Sixel]

Ugh. Great.

 

And, Buxton out of the game. Super.....just super.

[Mike Sixel]

Cannot wait for them to debut their new 34 year old OFer......

[KidBro]

Kepler in, Buxton out

This is A- material Platoon. As much as I want to give you the like, I'm holding out for the whoppers later this afternoon. 

I've arranged a happy hour at Top Golf after work on Friday where she will be attending. After a few drinks, maybe there will be an after happy hour dinner!

Fair enough, didn't know about the oblique strain.

 

However, the Twins shouldn't be trying to reduce the number of strikeouts, but increasing the offensive output.  I don't if the team strikes out 2,000 times this year, as long as they walk 1,500 times, and hit 300 homers.  The strikeout isn't bad--the strikeout with the accompanying OBP and dingers is bad.

Sorry.  I'll never take any of your posts seriously again!

Is there some extra credit he can do to bump the grade up?

[70charger]

Kepler looking good in center!

[Foghorn Leghorn]

What channel is the game on? Or do i even wanna watch this Sh*t show?

[Aggies7]

great catch out there in CF

[Vanimal46]

If he could stop resembling Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson and swoon every woman in sight, that's a start. 

[Aggies7]

lolllllllllllllllll

[Blake]

Kepler, looking, looking, looking...taking a good look while that ball leaves the park!!

[Bark's Lounge]

Back by popular... er... I mean some kind of demand.

 

In and out today, but in an attempt to help break this wretched losing streak, I present to you a new Rally Symbol...

 

Take a drink or 2 or three or more, depending how this game goes.

[70charger]

Buxton is apparently okay. And Joe checks in with a triple.

 

Boom.

[Cap'n Piranha]

Yay Mauer!

[woolywoolhouse]

Mauer with a leadoff triple. Over-under on the Twins not scoring this inning...?

[Cap'n Piranha]

I can't wait to see what new and creative way we find to not score here.
