Beiber’s out ...

[Shaitan]

 

What a great job it would be to be a "ball boy". Do those dude's get paid?

STrib or Press ran a great article on this several years ago.

 

The short answer is not really. But they get "tips" from the players. Like 4-figure tips.

I assume they travel with the team? High school by day, hanging with major leaguers by night.

Cmon Timmmmmaaay!

[FlauerPauer]

Tim Anderson is a good hitter.

[Squirrel]

Tim Anderson is 4-4 tonight ...

[Squirrel]

Come on Abreu! Do some damage!

[David HK]

Whew-

 

Just back from class to see a win in the books, and a White Sox lead!

 

My new 2nd favorite team! (until we play them again).

 

Come on, Sox!

[Richie the Rally Goat]

Yeah!

[FlauerPauer]

Still wonder if the Twins should consider Abreu if he'd take a 3-4 year deal at 75-80 million. Dude is a perennial .275 avg, 30 homer, 100 RBI guy. 

 

Edit: would look great between Cruz and Sano for the next year or two. And when Cruz is gone, full time DH and move Sano to 1b. 

[FlauerPauer]

Nothing like The Band tunes with 9 outs to go.

[David HK]

 

That was pretty funny, Duffey mad at himself for letting a runner get a hit off of him.

Glad he didn't punch himself in the face.

I'm jumping on a plane right now and flying direct to Chicago to cheer the Sox on. It's worth the $300 ticket. Will post from the stadium. It's only a 45 minute flight from MSP.  Stand by...might make the 8th inning.

AWESOME!

 

However, the trip in from O'Hare would probably take twice as long as the flight...

[FlauerPauer]

we're still waiting for pictures of this "trip" lol

 

 

8 to go!

[FlauerPauer]

With the relievers the Sux have, wonder why their manager is letting Marshall go to 40 pitches...

[David HK]

Switched over to catch the White Sox game.

 

OMG, Steve Stone made me nearly do a spit take--

 

"The Old Man and the C..."

 

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL!

 

(You kinda had to be there...)

[LVTwinsfan]

Rays 4 Yankees 0. So no homeruns for the Yanks and Cleveland is still out of a wild card spot

Anthony Rizzo is on a 7 year 41 mil deal. I can’t imagine Abreu getting 15 mil per year when Rizzo gets 6 mil per year. Maybe 5/50.... I dunno

[ashbury]

"Now pitching for Chicago... Aaron."

 

Bummer.

Did Rizzo sign a pre-arb deal? No way Abreu gets less than 15 mil a season. Making 16 mill right now; and arguably better than Rizzo.

 

Edit: Just looked at stats. Looks like very similar players. But Rizzo signed a more team friendly contract. Idk I still think it'd be wise to look at Abreu. From all accounts he wants to resign with Chicago, but maybe the Twins could lure him away.

 

6 to go!

[FlauerPauer]

7 to go!

Bummer.

 

Dude would not last a year in English public school.

[70charger]

Aaron Bummer bums out the Tribe!

[twinssporto]

 

Yeah, I was just about to post that the Game Recap is up, and to take discussion there, but you raise a good point. Let's keep this going.

Thank goodness you’re the only one

 

And what a Bummer for Cleveland ... mwahahahaha

[twinssporto]

 

7 to go!

[Squirrel]
