Article: Game Thread: Twins v White Sox, 6/20@7:10pm CT

[Aggies7]

Vargus with half the AB Mauer has yet he has 3 more HR and just 2 less RBI. Sorry, but Vargus needs to be in the line up everyday. If Joe sits he sits....He a 270 hitter with no power , or run production.

Vargus is a funnier way of spelling vargas

[Riverbrian]

I've been thinking about this for 5 years and I've finally come to a final conclusion. 

 

Minnesota is my favorite state shape out of all 50 states. 

 

Michigan is 2nd

 

West Virginia 3rd

 

Massachusetts 4th

 

Maryland 5th

 

I'm glad that I can finally put that aside and move on to something else.

Also, Buxton's beard is terrible. That is all.

More "ugh" worthy than Rosario's throw home in the top of the inning

I would take Vargas over Mauer and I'd like Vargas to hit behind Sano. But... I'm ok with a rotation so no one spends extensive time on the bench.

I like Colorado. It's very no-nonsense. Not like some of those flashy states, like Illinois.

Its also not unreasonable for all three to play most days.

[Mike Sixel]

I don't think the white Sox are very good at baseball. But then, I am at a brewery drinking sour beer, so what do I know....

[PDX Twin]

How can you like Colorado's shape more than Wyoming's?

[Cap'n Piranha]

A couple thoughts on At Bat;

 

I don't like how it makes you restart the gameday portion of the app if you've been doing something else on your phone for more than a couple of minutes.

 

I also don't like that the highlight videos have been shortened, so you no longer get to see replays.

 

Those are my complaints for the night. For now.

Its like a more mountainous, Josh Duhamel-less North Dakota

Joe will be gone soon so we won't have to worry about forcing that 23 million dollar salary into the line up everyday. In reality Joe is now a part time player.

What about Florida aka America's (Edit by Riverbrian)Peninsula). 

[Puckett34]

 

Let's see how this goes over

[spinowner]

North Dakota is like Nebraska: miles and miles of nothing but miles and miles.

[Ron Burgundy 4 President]

 

Haha I found out last year that slightly edgy humor can fall pretty flat here

 

Gocha.  Thanks for the heads up.

Someone needs to tweet that The Ringer "juiced baseball" article from last week to Dick Bremer

[amjgt]

Could you imagine if we had a TV guy that could intelligently talk about the juiced baseball issue?

Because Colorado came first. Wyoming is just an attention-seeking copycat wannabe.

Tim or Les? Also, they've been cloning themselves?

Where where? I always thought it was hear hear, as in an old timey vernacular for "I hear that!"

****Caution. Pet peeve alert.**** I would settle for an announcer on TV or radio who could correctly pronounce Spanish-language names. For Pedro's sake! This is 2017. You make your living talking about major league baseball. Anyone who is serious about earning a living in any career relating to the game should want to learn as much Spanish as possible. (Steps down from soapbox.)

Still better than Perkins neck beard or whatever it is Perkins has going.

I've heard about 12 different pronunciations for avisail garcia this year.

Biscoff rules! When I worked for the airline, I would eat about 20 packs a day from our stock room.

I found this recipe I'm going to have to try.

Most people blame such things on auto-correct.

Agreed! I don't speak Spanish, but I know a little about which syllable should be accented, and Per-EZ drives me up the wall! (Kind of like people who pretend that "data" are singular rather than plural.)

Pouty Dick Bremer is getting on my last nerve. And I'm not a dickbert hater
