He had that injured thumb. I expect he's not back to fully 100%.

now that’s funny

[Riverbrian]

 

Lack of self-respect leads to bizarre behavior, like moderating web sites.

 

Boston, Nice place to visit but I wouldn't want to be in an automobile.

They found all five Twins fans at tonight’s game

There actually was quite a contingent of them last night. Late in the game, when the crowd had thinned out due to the late hour, I swear about one third of the remaining fans were cheering Rosario's HR.

[ashbury]

I failed to notice until now, but it's Cave in CF, and Kepler in right. Mistake, or blunder?

[PDX Twin]

 

You're keeping a dossier? Good thing I haven't mentioned my secret family in Billerica.

 

Isn't that near Groton? I discovered a couple of years ago that my great-great-great-...-great grandfather founded Groton in the 1640s. There's a plaque dedicated to him in the middle of town.

You mentioned it once, I may be old but my memory is still working... short term memory suffers a bit, always around 4:20

But, realistically, you have approximately 4096 grandparents that go back to the 1640s! One of them was bound to found Groton!

according to Bremer Cave and Kepler started last night in the wrong position

Took the train to and from, last night. Beautiful experience. 30 minutes station to station. Was in bed an hour after last pitch.

True enough. Only reason it seems particularly special is that it was the pure patri-lineal grandfather so we still have the same last name.

I think my patri-linear great great great ... - was killed by a flying rock to the side of the head in The Thirty Years War which just so happened to be taking place around the time Groton was founded.

[ashbury]

Not if you ask a native Massachusettsan. Nearly twenty miles apart, or two days by car.

 

My daughter's boyfriend attended there, for those keeping the dossier.

[ashbury]

You mentioned it once

Oh, well then, alrighty.

 

For a moment there I was afraid you were being obsessive.

[ashbury]

Welp, there's your pitch to contact.

[Nine of twelve]

I don't care which team hit that ball, it is another example of why Fenway Park is a travesty of a baseball stadium.

One of these years I'm going to dig through archives and see if I can figure out on which side of the Revolutionary War my ancestors fought. Based on the essential conservatism of my father and me, I'd guess the British.

Pesky Betts

I've got five myself, just on my mother's side.

[ashbury]

Nah, it was just an extreme shift.

[FLTwinsGuy]

321 ft homer....i HATE Fenway

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Unlike last night, I’m assuming that was a home run in precisely 1 park(s)

[LVTwinsfan]

4 innings in less than an hour

[PDX Twin]

I hope that the next time the Twins play the Red Sox, all Betts are off!

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

fielding out of order?

[Danchat]

With the start Perez had last time around, this is going really well comparatively. Could the bats wake up, please?

[LVTwinsfan]

Home run time

Boston has great public transportation, the beach, North end, ballpark name it you can get there

[jz7233]

Why is Schoop in the lineup today? I would rather see Polanco or Adrianza.

[PDX Twin]

Eovaldi was supposed to be on a low pitch count. We haven't done a good job of making him throw pitches or we could have probably had him out after 3 or 4.

Isn't against the ground rules for us to get one of our own.
