What is the deal?  Seriously, Ervin, what is the deal?  One zero.  How about one?  Just one.

 

We should consider ourselves lucky it's only 4-2

[Platoon]

My son's softball team was short a player so they called me to play. 

 

A 50 year old playing with a bunch of 22 year olds.

 

I haven't swung a bat or put a glove on for a couple of years.

 

What do you think I did in my first AB?

 

Swimg at an outside pitch pulled it to third and it was a DP.

[Platoon]

Reached base on an E5... I RULE!!!

I had it half right

I've developed a phobia of over-engineered groups of buildings.

 

A complex complex complex.

I was at the game last night and saw Kepler take some time signing autographs.  He seems like a good kid.

 

It was fun bonding with other California Twins fans and seeing Buxton's first home run.  In hindsight I should have gone to the left field bleachers and made an offer to buy that baseball.  I wonder whether the Twins were able to get it.

Fortunately, I'm getting treatment, but my shrink says it'll be difficult to treat.  

 

That's right....it's complex.

If the symptoms,s reappear it will be a duplex complex complex complex.

This is not Giavotella.

So they put a statue in front of the hardware store where the guy from Jackass took a crap.

Unlike your jokes!

OH, did Erwin Santalamachia just put up a zero??

[Aggies7]

What a play. Wow.

Buxton hit two homeruns last year.

[Blake]

I'm too simple to have a complex. 

[PseudoSABR]

That was a good bunt. I saw that Buxton wore the result with dismay, but I hope he appreciates the quality execution.

[glunn]

 

Buxton hit two homeruns last year.

Then I'm glad that I did not buy that ball

[Blake]

And Mr. Grossman has another hit while wearing a Twins uniform.

 

Has someone let Grossman know that consistently hitting a baseball while wearing a Twins uniform is verboten?

[Aggies7]

The Angels just keep giving the twins runs

[John Kelsey]

They put a third baseman in the outfield and got burned. How dumb does a team have to be to try something like that?

[Riverbrian]

I was actually there for his first.

 

In Detroit on a Sunday Afternoon.

 

He's gotta have a superstar career after that so I can say I was there for his first.

I would have bought his third. 

 

Why Not

[Aggies7]

Ervin ain't long for this game tonight

[tobi0040]

Our rotation is top notch

[Blake]

I want to see the Twins walk Trout to get to Pujols.

[HitInAPinch]

Any functioning arms left in the bullpen?  E.San is getting hammered tonight.

[Blake]

My previous post was predicated on Santana getting Kole Calhoun out.

Heh... I keep checking back in---

 

So we score again, and.......

 

Leadoff double!

 

Good going, Erv!

 

Get going, Erv...

[Danchat]

On a completely unrelated note, looking at the sidebar to the right of this thread, has the Vikings Journal been taken over by people posting spam?

That had nothing to do with it. It wasn't an error. He played it perfectly.

 

Mauer's blazing speed just was too much on that one
