Haven't looked.  Everyone know Polanco was optioned?  Not that anyone would notice.  Oh, BTW, is Meyer still in the Twins organization? :-)

[Riverbrian]

 

Not surprised at all.  A lotta weird s*** going down in East Grand.  

 

Someday, I may entertain the masses with the saga of fleeing from the EGF cops along the muddy river bank when they busted us hopping the coal train to the bars on the Minny side....  Back in the Original Whitey's days.

 

Please do

[Platoon]

Dozier would have caught that!

[Comrade Bork]

At least it took them more than 0 out's to score a run today

[Reider]

What's with the silver chalk lines? Did they run out of white chalk?

[Platoon]

Yes and apparently barely!

[Riverbrian]

 

I truly believe, in my heart of hearts, that the Twins would be much better this year if Terry Ryan went to Hair Club for Men this past offseason. I think if his confidence was in better shape, the Twins would have benefited from it and his roster construction choices would have been enhanced from this new found confidence.

Give him Tyson's face tattoo.

How many first inning runs have buffoons allowed? God almighty

May 23, 2016 Optioned INF Jorge Polanco to Rochester (IL). Reinstated INF Eduardo Escobar from the 15-day DL.

Ahhh, a sunny, lovely morning, and an interesting ride to work.  On the top of those double-deckers is when you don't want a driver who behaves like he's in a Lamborghini, dodging between lanes with his no-shock-absorber-having behemoth, and you arrive at work feeling like you just watched "Breaking the Waves" from the front row of an I-Max.  But still, it's a pretty day.  

 

Don't mess it up, Ricky, and the rest of you boys.

 

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Mauer?

[HitInAPinch]

Mauer did what ?!?

 

[Platoon]

And that is the first run the loss of Gordon will cost

[Riverbrian]

Gotta change it up when you are losing games by the truckload. 

[David HK]

Btw, for you aviation buffs-  that silvery thingy in the middle of the harbor is where the old HK airport was.  Now they use it as a cruise-boat dock.  But talking to some of the older Cathay guys who used to dive in there in 747s back in the day, whew.....  That part of town wasn't allowed to have bulidings over 6 stories then, and I'm sure you could dry your laundry on the roof in about 5 minutes from the jet wash.

I cannot believe the smoke from the tar sand fires in Canada drifter that far?

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Ah, that's why they wear helmets...

[Bark's Lounge]

[Aggies7]

Right in the noggin

[Aggies7]

Lol plouffe should have been out by 15 feet

[Riverbrian]

How bout an Eye Patch and a parrot on his shoulder. 

[HitInAPinch]

Grossman =   All Star

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Mauer did what ?!?

Exactly.

[Riverbrian]

 

Grossman =   All Star

 

We gotta send someone

[Thrylos]

That Grossman play at the LF was pretty Delmonic.

[Riverbrian]

So far... We got Nolasco and Kennedy trying real hard to not out duel each other. 

[Riverbrian]

 

That Grossman play at the LF was pretty Delmonic.

 

That's a good word. 

 

Well Bad actually but Good cuz...

 

Man... I got to work on my street lingo. 

[Aggies7]

Things that don't exist in Minnesota:

 

1) shutdown innings

[kusko_andy]

I hate Nolasco.  I mean, I don't even know the guy.  But I hate him.  I think.

[HitInAPinch]

The "Nolasco Replay" continues.  What will the ending be?  My vote: 

Shoulder Weakness.
