still trying to wrap my head around all the complaints about Vargas not being on this team.

Still trying to figure out why Morrison hasn't bunted down the third base line

1-22 will make people say things

[Riverbrian]

 

Why did we demote Vargas? Oh yeah, for this garbage.

 

Normally I would hide this and so would almost all moderators. 

 

I'm going to quote it for all to see. To serve as an example. 

 

DON"T CALL PLAYERS OR ANYONE GARBAGE! 

 

It's about as classless as you can get and a clear violation of rules. 

[jimmer]

I thought thee hardest hit ball of the night by the Twins was Mauer's double.  

[LaBombo]

 

2.5 hours into the game. Is our closer warming up yet?

 

You'll know he's up when the godawful ugly lamp in Target Field's living room window that's on the same timer comes on.

 

[BoofBonser]

Ryan LaMarre BA with runners on this year: 1.000 

 

Ignore SSS please

[Danchat]

 

Aren’t they doing the grand casino commercials with the horribly unattractive people this year on fsn?

Isn't that the demographic?

 

Seriously though, I have no desire to gamble and seeing those commercials somehow makes me want to do it even less.

[BoofBonser]

 

I have a weird feeling that the Twins are going to light the Houston bullpen up 

I'm going to politely disagree with you, but I hope you're right

I have a weird feeling the Twins will go 1-2-3, 1-2-3

Thine memory is excellent, and thou hast recalled correctly.

I am reading Shakespeare while watching the Twins game :-)

You know it’s a small crowd when you can hear the photogs shutter going off

[Platoon]

What makes this series a shame, is its two good baseball teams, one of who is really good, struggling to simply get through the evening. (Along with the fans). The game may appear normal, but I cannot believe anyone operates at a high efficiency in this weather. I wouldn't be surprised if this isn't being played at a 70% level....... The GT is as usual operating at 100%.

Very appropriate with the slings and arrows the Twins hitters have taken from Verlander.

One good team, one great team ;-)

[Aggies7]

Welp

[BoofBonser]

What the **** are you doing Rosario?

Put in LaMarre

I think their pitcher is operating at pretty close to 100%

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

I'm watching at a bar, with no sound.

 

I'd love for someone to tell me what DickBert has to say about all this.

[LaBombo]

Did Rosario have his eyes open on that fly ball that landed 5 feet behind and to the right of him, or was he, like, trying to use The Force or something?

[slash129]

Wheeeeeeee ... Love that LF defense

[Danchat]

Don't worry, guys, it could be worse:

 

 

Greg Holland walked four of the five batters he faced in his Cardinals debut Monday night against the Brewers.

I've seen the last 3 or 4 innings. Every player out there is giving about 70%

[Mill1634]

Welp. We aren't scoring two runs in two innings. 

[Aggies7]

I honestly don’t recall the last time Bert even spoke tonight.

[Mill1634]

Anyone else worried Molly is going to end up wearing Reed out? I know we have had a lot of offdays but seems like he has to have almsot 7 or 8 innings. I am too lazy to look up his normal IP in a year. 

[BoofBonser]

Completely agree, and cold is not an excuse

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

ah, don't we long for the days of Plouffe at third and Ryan Doumit in left

[Aggies7]

I wish we weren’t losing.

I remember early spring baseball. Your toes are frozen in your spikes. The sting of the bat was very real and on your mind every time you swung at the ball. 

 

Your eyes would tear up while you were trying to focus on the pitcher. You keep your throwing hand in your pants while the pitcher is going full count on every one. 

 

Your fingers are numb and you can't tell if you are holding the baseball when you finally have to make a play with it. 

 

It was hard playing baseball in this weather.
