By the way, good job Mr. Santana. Now grow the dreads back.

I said it earlier in thread, I'll say it again ... he had such beautiful and he chopped it off last year ... I loved his dreads.

[Danchat]

 

This is still your best

 

I expect to see this in a museum one day. It'll be the new "modern" art.

[LaBombo]

 

I can't imagine how much longer would be left in this game if it weren't for the intentional walk rule. I'm so thankful it was changed. 

 

Me too, so that makes at least three fans of the new rule...

How did Belisle look? Need him to step up for this World Series run

[Bark's Lounge]

Good game. Santana nailed it. Offense did enough, Buxton was killer with the glove. The KC bullpen fell apart. It is nice to have a W under under our belts on game one.

 

Parting words: Mike Sixel, you are still upright, you are still breathing... Happy Birthday!

[LaBombo]

 

How did Belisle look?

 

The flowing warmup jacket, the grace, the monogrammed leather mullet; striking... out one, allowing no hits or walks.

The hard part is winning the other 161.

Eh, it's just like any other job. Get drunk tonight and worry about it on Wednesday!

Thanks

Finally, a game that matters.

 

So games in April do in fact matter? Huh, who knew...

Yeah, with dreads Santana looked his age. Without the dreads, he looks about 16.

Bert:  "Just out of reach of Sano...."

 

There needs to be a meter for that phrase...
 

I take it that was captured with the slow motion camera?

Either that or Aggies found a Marney Gelnar highlight reel on YouTube.

 

Oh...I keed, I keed.

Just read a game recap that said "the win delighted an announced sellout crowd."

 

What constitutes a "sellout" these days? Clearly not selling every available ticket, as per the actual meaning the language used.

 

There couldn't have been more than 25k in there (capacity 39k+). I don't buy for a second that I would've been turned away at the gate at 3:15-3:30 pm.

39,615 were there according to the radio broadcast.

Just in case it was missed... happy birthday Mike.

[Ultima Ratio]

In before the World Series bandwagon comes 'round!

We are 100% better than last year so far!

[diehardtwinsfan]

no... infinitely better to be exact.

Wait. It was his birthday!?

[BoofBonser]

Someone come up with their lineup prediction for Wednesday's game... RH Ian Kennedy on the mound for the Royals.

Shoot.

[spinowner]

Just to let everyone know, my last post was at 12:56. It's now 20:54. I intend to read the entire thread because opening day, and 7-1, and 114 MPH exit velocity.

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

Well, would you call Mr. Mays "William"?

[spinowner]

 

And Mauer will have a walk.

Very prescient!

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

And it doesn't stop with their sports department.

What uniforms are the Twins wearing for the opener?

Their primary pajam...err...uniforms.

Ask and thou shall receive. Let's all take a swig in honor of Van's fallen Uncle. R.I.P.

 

Win Twins!!!

Cory mentioned that the long-sleeve tees given away today were coming in handy with the cold weather.  I have questions;

 

1) did people show up shirtless, and that's why they need them?

2) are people burning them for warmth in trash cans?

3) are people using them as providers of sleeve gloves?

What's the best way to tell the difference between a violin and a viola? The viola burns longer.

(Thanks to Victor Borge.)

Cory Provus: "that's another Innovative Office Solutions double play"

 

It's the first one of the season.  Can't be "another" yet.

I thought exactly the same thing when I heard him say that while driving. (To clarify, I was driving, not Cory.)

[Comrade Bork]

no... infinitely better to be exact.

Hah! We've got 8 more games till we arent in the infinitum.
