Schoop a doop!!!

NOOOOOOO SMOKING near the metronome.

 

Correct. Tobacco use is on the decline even among meticulously groomed garden statues.

 

Non-tobacco smoking, on the other hand...

That's the second ball in two games that has hit their center fielder in the glove, and not stayed there.

 

That shoudn't happen twice in a career.

He almost ran into two of his teammates tonight as well!

I bet even Puckett and Mays and Mantle and (fill in your CF of choice here) have had balls bounce out of their glove twice.

 

But twice in two games? Nah, man. That's just ugly.

Good game boys!!!

[USAFChief]

WINNAH!!

 

 

[Mill1634]

Twins win!!!

 

Ehire goes yard, we finally get some hits with RISP, and the normal producers weren't even relied on. Martin Perez was fantastic, as was the defense and his two relievers. We face a very similar pitcher in Wade LeBlanc tomorrow night. Let's get the same result.

 

See y'all late tomorrow, and stay safe tonight!

 

Go Twins!!!

Been on the road the checked in just in time to see the game end with a win.

 

Who is this team and what have they done with the Twins?

Judging by what we've seen so far in this series, a generation of young Mariners fans will grow up thinking that a whole smorgasbord of defensive travesties are pretty much routine.

Did the roof on Safeco Field fall off?

Well...

 

I have heard of hangors having their own weather systems.

 

Maybe stadiums do too?

 

Metrodome wasn't infalible...

 

Anyway sorry i been distracted.

 

Thanks for keep the game on track!

Not a fan of LaTroy in the booth.

Just like big league hitters, broadcasters need a certain number of at-bats before you know how good they are. I don't think LaTroy has enough experience yet. And I like how he mimics TK by referring to the Duke as Richard.

Gardy with a bong... not something I would expect to see.

I choose to believe that the teams of the last 8 years have been the impostors and now the true Twins are back.

Or you could give the switchblade and dart board a try instead...

 

 

I actually have one of those things ... but a lighter wood ...

What year do you live in? 1985?

Nah. I have really old siblings who used one like that for lessons back in the 50s.
