[Mike Sixel]

It's your parents fault! They should have been from Oregon. . (For all I know they are)

Oregon is great. Good advice

[twinssporto]

 

Who else besides you?

This is a contest Chief.  We have multiple representatives to ensure an unbiased game.  It's a Twins Daily standard.

What did we do to deserve this lineup?

Don't complain.  Pick your players and numbers.  Big money on the line tonight.  

 

Pick your click, broken bats, strike outs.  A whole new world has opened up to you in your game thread experience.

With this lineup, and the way they've played the last 2 weeks, as well as Toronto's track record in this stadium, it's hard to believe that the Twins are fairly heavy betting favorites tonight.

does domino's still give out free pizzas for no hitters?

Not sure. That's a Dominoes game.  Not sure if they have a Game Thread experience.

I did ,and a lot here will be out to the "drink responsibly" rule, so free to drink more for us, "can't win" ones.

Who laces up the clown shoes tonight? I say Dozier.

[twinssporto]

 

How long til we fall behind by 5 runs?  Over/Under 4 innings.

You can place a bet on that number.  Just ask.

 on the bench?

 

didn't you see that since they ran out of AA/AAA/AAAA RPs, they are now using them at 2B?

[Cap'n Piranha]

I’m cautiously optimistic that Petit taking Dozier’s spot is indicative that Molitor is going to start asserting himself with Dozier, re no more batting lead off.

[Dave The Dastardly]

Rule # 1  Never bet on a Minnesota team. Known in Vegas as a sucker's bet.

 

Rule # 2  Vegas doesn't offer an over/under on the Twins. Just an under.

I'd probably go Kepler, Mauer, Dozier, um, hmmmmm. Ya.

Rule # 2 Vegas doesn't offer an over/under on the Twins. Just an under.

I guarantee there are overs offered every day. Always on Twins runs and bullpen innings pitched.

Singular? Lately, there've been multiple candidates...

[Mill1634]

Depressing news about Sano, Buxton, and Petit getting called up.
