I didn't know Americans listened to anything they couldn't lay claim to. Get back to listening to your Foreigner or Toto or Styx or something. 

 

 

P.S. I can't stand Rush.

Just because Rush is the musical equivalent of "War and Peace...."

[Blake]

 

by the by...I fully intend to run out of "likes" today.

 

Get 'em while you can.

What's not to like?

You left out Journey and Kansas. (Man, my fingers didn't want to type those names but I gritted my way through it.)

Break out the vodka.

No, Bark's rum!

perhaps my favorite movie ever.

What's not to like on second, I think you mean.

On the radio this morning (93X) they were announcing the Twins lineup for home opener (and I was like, 'wow, already?') which they referenced the Star Tribune.  I come online this morning and it turns out yesterday afternoon the Star Tribune put out projected lineups for the home opener.

Royals
LF Alex Gordon

3B Mike Moustakas

CF Lorenzo Cain 

1B Eric Hosmer 

C Salvador Perez 

DH Brandon Moss 

RF Paulo Orlando 

SS Alcides Escobar 

2B Raul Mondesi 

LHP Danny Duffy 

 

The positions are almost certainly right, but do we think we have that good of an idea on the lineup already?

The Star Trib got the Royals lineup exactly right! I thought that was amusing. I don't know which Twins lineup is worse, the Strib one or the Molitor one...

By the way, what's your opinion of Neil Young? Alanis Morissette?

[Mike Sixel]

Any update on the weather?

 

If they play today, they win today. No doubt in my mind. The Royals are "meh" on offense.

I really wish they had an actual DH on this team instead of whatever Robert is (I refuse to call grown men 'Robbie').

50/50 chance of some rain thru game time, but it does'n't  appear any will fall. Overcast sky, all clouds high and thin. Winds are very light.

Chance of rain diminishing as the day goes on.

Neil Young is a national treasure, the other gets you fed to a Polar bear for mentioning her name in the same sentence as his.

You're dead to me.

[Blake]

Actually, Chief, this is probably more apropos for the season and for TwinsNorth:

Quibble: There is a question mark between Neil Young and Alanis Morissette. 

 

Oh, wait....

For those of us out of range of the Twins broadcasts, take a look at the MLB AtBat app for your smart phone - for $21 for the season, you can access the audio for any game, and you get to choose between the home and visitor broadcast, plus often the Espanol version!

This team makes me more like this.

 

[Jerr]

Just checked Twins website, they still have SRO tickets available.

 

Under 2 hours until first pitch  

[DaveW]

At the Mets game currently. Man I wish we had a pitcher like Thor....

 

Re: Twins, somehow they are a pick em game in the eyes of Vegas today. Hopefully they can get an opening day win and at least give us a day or two of hope this season.

 

Sano, Dozier and Buxton with bombs today. Twins Win 8-4

[Jerr]

Cooking up a pre-game baked potato here, with butter, salt, pepper, sharp cheddar cheese and a dab of sour cream. Should be ready by first pitch.

[Riverbrian]

 

Kudos to Brian. He outdood himself on this one.

 

I would have went with "outdoo'd" or "outdoneth" but it works none the less.

Thou hast outdoneth thine past scribblings, good sir.

Latest weather says no rain during the game!!!!!!

[Riverbrian]

 

Here here, I'm with ya.

 

"...the possibility of 162-0 still exists no matter how unlikely..."

 

I'm so sick and tired of all the Negative Nancy's around here.

 

I normally try to avoid negativity and normally especially on opening day. However... it couldn't be helped this year. I decided yesterday that Richard III was where I was going and once you go that direction. You are miles away from positive. 

 

So here we are... with the Twins. So... knock out a home run... shout a hip hoo-ray.

I personally like to call him SpongeRob GrossPants.  Someone better than I with photoshop can surely do something with this.

Living in Seattle as I do, At Bat is definitely worth it.  It's a great way to ensure you don't miss any of Cory and Dazzle's....ummmm....inanity, shall we say.
