Love it! Give me at least half a chicken dinner. Waffles for the other half? Still good!

That looks like it might actually feed all of us!

I found it ... if you look at the online schedule on the Twins site, they list this 2nd game as the make up game.

Have my co-workers been paying you off?

 

With the second game considered the makeup, our office rules consider this to be the completion of a sweep, since the Twins won the other two games back in May.

 

That means donuts for the office next time I'm in. AND, since it's not a normal sweep, but a sweep of the White Sox, this calls for more than your basic Dunkin' Donuts. It's off to the local Amish bakery to celebrate.

Where's your office? I might have to show up tomorrow morning!

By the way, the last four sweeps have all occurred at the beginning of one of my business trips. If you'd like to contribute to the "Keep Sending IndianaTwin on Business Trips Fund," PM me and I'll send you bank routing and account number information.

Duffey with the 3 inning save...

 

They are less common these days, and so should be cherished.

And the thunderstorm cometh. Good thing this one didn't run as long.

Northern Indiana, but they are also delivered fresh to several Chicago locations. Visit risenroll.com for locations. The caramel cinnamon are the local legends in the donut world. Other folks are big on the cashew crunch candy. You won't go wrong on anything you have there, including many different flavors of homemade bread.

Daly Plaza Farmer's Market, 7a-3p. Might have to check it out this week or next while I'm on vacation.

Only because I was a pitcher all the way through college and the mound is a lonely lonely place when you're getting destroyed. Makes it all the worse that was his debut start

I sympathize, too. But consider: Fulmer has realized more success in his vocation than 98 percent of all people who've ever lived. He'll get over it. He has to.

I've found blissful ignorance to be a comfortable position in life for most things. Probably because I live in Canada.

Sorry, you cannot blame everything on being Canadian.

Don't be too jealous. I live in Winona. The home of Bloedow's. If you haven't heard of Bloedow's. You don't live in Minnesota. Or Wisconsin. Or Iowa.

 

Heading there in about half an hour.

Missed the first game, watched most of the second game while posting elsewhere and figuring up checkbook. Loved what I see from Gee. Have to ask, with the big lead and good pitch count, despite losing a bit, was he taken out too early?

 

Likely was on a bit of a pitch count seeing as he hasn't exactly been stretched out of late. that's why that outing is so good, I bet they only expected 4 innings.

So is the rotation now Santana, Berrios, Colon, Gibson and Gee? With Gibson/Gee pitching for their job every time and Slegers and eventually Mejia waiting in the wings?

I actually got a friend named Thunderstorm.

 

Last i paid attention he was over in Korea...

No thread for tonight yet. I'm excited to face Giolito. His MILB splits have righties with a .671 OPS and lefties with a .879 OPS. And that's the minors. The Twins will likely send seven lefties to the plate, assuming that Vargas DH's.

 

We will need that with Kyle Gibson on the mound. I love the Twins ability to throw tons of lefties in the lineup.
