I hear a lot of kids in the background. Is it a schoolday game? That's child abuse.

Larouche Day at Target Field.

[Danchat]

Wow, a rare hit with runners in scoring position! I thought the Twins banned those.

[PopRiveter]

That run put us right where we want to be. Down by only three runs. We are really good at being down by three runs this year.

[SirLoin]

My pick 3 numbers are 4-6-3.....

[Mike Sixel]

Following on CBS.....I assume all the throws to first are because the O's know only the Twins would run down three with HR hitters coming up, right? No other team would be that stupid.....

How do I 'unfollow' this game thread before my coworkers break my buzzing phone over my head?

Yeah...just let him try to steal.  They'll just get him at 2nd.

[PopRiveter]

A little slight-of-hand by the bullpen and we may be able to ride this 3 run deficit all the way into the ninth!

[Cap'n Piranha]

 

The way Dick said, "BASE HIT TO RIGHT!" was disconcerting. Like it was some huge accomplishment or surprise.

 

Have you not been paying attention this year?  A base hit to right for this year's team is both a huge accomplishment and a surprise.

58 MM in one weekend?

 

Hmmmmm......swankiest club one drink is on me.......best suite in the best casino.......row 5 seats to the best show in town (btw, that is not some old, awful, singer).......high stakes black jack......best sipping tequila for night caps......uh, can I buy a car or 5?

 

Ya, it's hard to spend that much unless you buy stuff.....

 

Yeah... I'd start my Vegas Weekend buying Cars and Boats and a New House and shipping it all home. 

 

I'd probably just put the Cars and the Boat's in the new house so you can ship it all in one shot. 

 

No professional movers who have experience moving houses intact.  I'd call UPS or Fedex and offer them extra if they can figure it out.

Yeah... but that was only in an exhibition game, so it doesn't count...

 

Tell that the the bird's family.

[Circus Boy]

Just checked in. As expected, I see...

 

--Long-ball hitting

--Lockdown pitching

--Solid D

 

All for the Birds.

 

And after seeing their .190 guy homer and hit the go-ahead single in the 9th last night, I'm in a Pink Floyd state of mind. Comfortably numb.

bahahaha

Correct, unfortunately the Bremgasms are going to be more melodramatic than ever.

[Cap'n Piranha]

LeBlanc gave up his first two hits, but no runs, and through 5 innings, has only needed 48 pitches.  Now that's efficiency.

Just like this.

[PopRiveter]

I'm thinking of turning into a cricket fan.

[Pardon My Dinger]

 

What exactly could $58 million buy in Vegas? 

PUT IT ALL ON BLACK!!!!! 

 

That, or 58 million tacos.

The quote button at the bottom right of the post.

 

Then put the cursor below the quote box and type away.

[Aggies7]

it's like the twins are always playing a game of "what is the worst thing we could do in this situation?" and then they do that thing.

[Rigby]

That plane went down too.....

[ShouldaCouldaWoulda]

Yikes, neither believe that the Twins overachieved last year. 

[Pardon My Dinger]

Perfect execution. Give Mollie a raise!

[Aggies7]

Dick doesn't think last year's team overachieved. oo-boy

The Beatles are much better.

 

The Crickets sucked once Buddy Holly left.

[Cap'n Piranha]

Pat Dean, meet major league hitting.

[HitInAPinch]

 

PUT IT ALL ON BLACK!!!!! 

 

That, or 58 million tacos. 

[nicksaviking]

So is Pat Dean right now, as we speak, auditioning for Phil Hughes' job?

[Aggies7]

I get it, the broadcasters aren't going to trash the whole team and FO, but trying to make excuses for this team and saying last year wasn't an aberration is insulting.

 

well, the pat dean love affair was short lived.
