Game Thread: Twins @ Angels, 6/14 @ 9:05 pm CT

[USAFChief]

Brian didn't talk about his "defense" tonight playing softball.  

 

From what I hear, he wondered why the ball kept getting bigger and bigger...and then it hit him.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

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.

Wasn't some gamethreader also at the game he hit his first home run last year? Riverbrian, perhaps? In Detroit?

 

Either way, here's to many more!

 

Edit: glad i can remember things... But i should really get to the end before posting, shouldn't i? Leastwise until i master the art of asynchronous posting...

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?

I noticed that too.

I swear to....

 

Y'know, if we stop scoring runs, I'll bet Erv will stop giving 'em up, maybe....

I think the Minnicentric one may have as well. But I am not 100 percent

It's the folks who are fragged because the Vikes got their stadium deal, so they're no longer moving to LAgos...

[glunn]

 

I would have bought his third. 

 

Why Not

Yes, but for a lot less than his first.

I think Bonnes subcontracted some of the writing to a Bangledeshi outfit. 

[Riverbrian]

You bargain hard don't ya. 

[tobi0040]

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

His last season with an OPS over .780 was 2012.

 

Crazy.

Worth a try. But first, let's get a leadd

You know Chief, you get the MVP on the game threads.

Yes I was

 

I was sitting along the 1st baseline and he hit it out to LF. 

 

I almost had it.

I can just see you walking up to some 12 year old who caught the ball and offering him a grand.

Crazy.

I figured if the Cardinals were willing to let Pujols walk, they knew something. 

[glunn]

I believe in not overpaying. That's part of what makes me unhappy with some of TR's free agent acquisitions, including Santana

[HitInAPinch]

OK Arcia.  Let's see something....

Guessing maybe, potentially Nolasco as well.

The Cards reportedly offered Pujols $210M.

I would have offered $20 and been willing to go to $100.

ok, no problem.  Next time, eyes open.

[USAFChief]

Anybody know what the Cards reportedly offered Pujols?

12 Year Old: A Grand... Sure... Here Ya go

 

Glunn: Do you take Visa or American Express? 

[LaBombo]

 

What is going on with Santana? He's been brutal.

 

Due for a trip to the Dysfunctional List?

[Riverbrian]

The Cards reportedly offered $210 Million... According to Chief

[tobi0040]

The Cards reportedly offered Pujols $210M.

If memory serves a small 2 percent stake in the franchise. And a statue. Which is obviously more important. That is the thing about STL. Great franchise. Made good decisions. But they dodged a bullet on this one.

I bet that they are now glad that he did not accept.
