did we win yet?

[Blake]

 

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. 

Hey, could have been worse, you could have gone with "Hamlet" or "Juliet and Romeo." Edit, oops, "Romeo and Juliet."

Fun fact--Richard III was first Richard, Duke of Gloucester.  And just like Billy Madison trying to spell "rock",

I'm always excited about opening day. 

 

This year... Today.at least.. I find myself excited about the potential of the new Joe M conversation for thought #4. 

 

The potential of this new format is making me smile at least.

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

And Mauer will have a walk.

Any update on the weather?

 

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

Is that a smile or a grimace? Hard to tell at this distance...

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.

For a better potato, wrap the potato in a couple of strips of bacon, wrap with foil and bake. Mmmm.

That is awesome!!

Our Mr. Grossman, whatever you wanna call him, is 6-for-11 with a pair of doubles and a homer off Danny Duffy over his career. So no matter if Park, Vargas or whoever was on the roster, he'd probably be DHing today anyway.

[Riverbrian]

I just heard Jack Morris say that "Sano should be more comfortable at third place" 

 

Third Place... Not Bad

For a better potato, cook some bacon, and eat that, and not hte potato.

I saw Stevie Ray Vaughan once. I didn't know who he was at the time but I was lucky enough to have seats about 2 feet from him. 

 

I remember the first song he played and he blew me away. It was "Couldn't Stand the Weather".

Who names their kid least, and won't even capitalize it for him?  And why are you smiling at him?  Just being nice, or is he doing something interesting?

I've got this as the new post of the day.

One thing is for certain: there is no stopping them him; the ants {cough, Mauer} will soon be here up. And I for one welcome our new insect overlords Mauer hitting cleanup. I’d like to remind them all that as a trusted TV personality (local yokel), I can be helpful in rounding up others to toil in their underground sugar caves (Brock's basement).”

it's early, but thanks,

Tommy Milone is in the game, opening day. Injuries happen!

[Craig Arko]

The Fox parent breaks into the FSN broadcast so we can get insight from Pete Rose and Alex Rodriguez. Fox loves its cheaters.

WORST TO FIRST BABY!!  HERE WE COME!

I read "Down to the Last Pitch" by Tim Wendel just this last weekend. A GREAT read of the 1991 World Series.

Alex is pretty good, not sure Rose is my favorite...

You apologize to this poor man right now!!!

Ha. Some great music for sure. (I'm assuming that's Axl).

 

At first, since I can't see this at work and had to go to the phone, I thought it might be a Derrick Rose jpeg, since he's hurt again (shocker). 

[Cap'n Piranha]

The ovation for "Your 2017 Minnesota Twins" was not at all audible over Mike Posner.  Side note; is taking a pill in Ibiza really something we should be playing up?  Side note 2; why are they introducing the entire staff?  Seems unlikely to be of interest to the crowd.  SIde note 3; they are now introducing the Twins "non-starters", in numerical order.  What?

Definitely Axl.  Derrick is a good option too.  After that, I don't know that there's many other well-known Roses out there.  Jalen is a bit niche, and Erica (from the Bachelor) is extremely niche.

Twins game is on at VFW where post memorial is at.. Sano looks good with dreads!
