[Don't Feed the Greed Guy]

CR/Andover down 3-0 after the 1st. Their stud pitcher moved to 1b with elbow pain.

[mickeymental]

ten innings without a twins home run. time to panic?

[USAFChief]

Man, I took my anti-depressants with me to Texas, and somebody stole them out of my room. Whoever took them, I hope they're happy.

[SwainZag]

28 pitches from Nova in the 1st inning, that's fantastic.

I'd check with the Texas 3rd base coach

Good Gibson is in the house.

[LVTwinsfan]

Kyle looks focused and confident.

[IndianaTwin]

Who needs a Rally Squirrel when you have it in the first?

[USAFChief]

Speaking of my trip to Texas, it's weird...they really are cowboys down there. I'm walking out of the free breakfast at the hotel, and somebody in a huge ten gallen cowboy hat asks if anyone wanted to help round up 18 steers.

 

I told him "Sure, friend...20."

Speaking of Moose and Squirrel, back during my former life I was stationed at a NATO headquarters in Italy. We had an older Italian NCO working with us whose English, while better than my Italian, was pretty rough.

 

I told him about "Wassamatta U" and how it stood for "what is the matter with you?"

 

He thought that was the funniest thing he had ever heard.

[USAFChief]

I'm in a little bit of trouble with Mrs Chief, and I don't get it. She claims I don't appreciate her, don't listen to her, don't UNDERSTAND her. You know, all the normal, baseless complaints a wife lists about her hard working, faithful husband. blah blah blah.

 

Anywho, I agree to see a marriage counselor, just to keep her quiet. I don't get it, but after our first visit, things seem even worse. 

 

Things were going fine, until the nice lady asked me "And what's your wife's favorite flower?"

 

Well, I thought a minute--and I have to admit I needed to think a minute--and suddenly it came to me.

 

"GOLD MEDAL" I beamed.

ARRAEZ!!!!!!!!!!

[mrtwinsfan]

Arriaz and Shined again-- Kids Awesome to watch

[yarnivek1972]

So, like 50 pitches for Nova and 3 swinging strikes if I counted right.

 

Gibson has three in his 19 pitches.

[mrtwinsfan]

Got a feeling were seeing something special, with arriaz,  he reminds me a lot of   Kirby his first year and the way he holds the bat like rod carew and the Figure of Tony Gwynn, Hell of a combo platter, Next few years r gonna be fun to watch

Took me a bit, but probably because I have trouble with 2 + 2.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Did we win yet?

 

I hope so.

[USAFChief]

 

GIve it time, RB...it'll come to  you.

This ump is going to make me dust off and recycle my "strikezoid" game thread.

I keep thinking there will be a case of the struggles down the line but I thought I would have seen that by now. 

[Danchat]

The good news about Gibson - he's good against bad teams, which means he's probably going to have a great outing tonight. 

[Riverbrian]

You Eastern Time Zoners are supposed to know before we do.

At my age... I'm not sure that I have enough time.
