Fifty shades of grey, Fifty shades darker & Fifty shades freed!

 

Lonely much?

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Lonely much?

Its either that, or the Twins/September version

[operation mindcrime]

I don't know how to read.

Neither do most of my students...

That's actually sad.

 

I have to say ... and I know this is a really trite answer ... but the book I go back and read over and over and over again is 'Pride and Prejudice.' I think I first read it when I was 14 or 15 ... and I still reread it every few years.

Don't go there! No politics in game threads!

 

 

(I'm serious ... that was the moderator hat speaking ... sorry ... but really, don't go there.)

[VATwinsFan]

This is going to end up 10-4.

[LaBombo]

 

i don't think Garver's a realistic option at 1st, which is why I don't think we see him there.

 

Noted baseball and shirtlessness expert Brad Pitt says playing 1st base isn't hard...

 

 

Then again, Ron Washington disagrees, so congratulations, you're the tie breaker. No 'sauce at first.

[mrtwinsfan]

  Well  at least i know come Monday  - We will still be in 1st place  anywhere from 1/2  game to ?????????    Need Jake big time friday

[LaBombo]

 

This is going to end up 10-4...

 

... good buddy.

 

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Juuuuuuuuuust a bit outside

That's awesome! The futures in good hands!

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

It’s felt that way since about the second inning, so, #small victories

It's a product of poverty and having a ton of ENL students (English as a new language). My big initiative this year is independent reading. Took all my classes to the library and the kids were actually pumped to pick out books to read. Even kids that I thought would be resistant we excited to pick out books to read. Definitely a challenge, but by the end of the year kids reading at a 3rd/4th grade level are reading at a 6th/7th grade level, writing well, and for the most part, moving onto 10th grade ELA.

... good buddy.

 

 

Love the CW McCall radio on Spotify. Great stuff in there.

Blech, I can't see Stewart staying on the 40 man roster over the offseason. He's not going to cut it as a starter or reliever on the MLB level - he can't get outs in the minor leagues, how's he going to do it in the majors?

[VATwinsFan]

You leave Gibson in for 93 pitches, but take out Stashak after 3 and then bring in Stewart?

 

Wow.

Bill Smith strikes again!!!

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

With runners on first and second, Stewart from the stretch steps towards.. third base

 

But I will stop ragging on the poor guy.

Bravo!

[FlauerPauer]

Well this sucks. Goodnight, all!

[Aggies7]

How you gonna throw a first pitch **** shot to Rendon in that situation

That’s awesome. I would have thrived that way. Choosing my own reading materials.

[USAFChief]

Relax. With that 2 run rocket to left from Rendon, Fangraphs up'd the Twins chances of winning the ALC to 103 percent.

[Pius Jefferson]

Kohl Stewart feels like the worst Twins pitcher in recent memory. At the very least the worst pitcher on a contending Twins team.

[Aggies7]

How is this dogpoop game only in the 6th inning?

[VATwinsFan]

This is going to end up 10-4.

Make that 12-4.

[USAFChief]

 

Make that 12-4.

How do we get the fourth run? 

[bighat]

Looks like Rocco's got his sights on Cleveland. Sure hope it works out. See you all back here tomorrow, let's just please steal ONE in CLE.

That's a biological limitation of how long he can be away from caves or swamps.
