I got Italian sausage, green olives, and jalapeños. Wife goes the Hawaiin route with pineapple and bacon.

 

Sounds delicious!

Morneau is so great in the booth, and I love that he can talk about facing the actual players on the field.

I agree, he is a nice change from Bert. Very knowledgable.

I know better than to jinx Cruz' at-bat with a prediction.

[IndianaTwin]

Two outs, bases loaded. Something seems familiar about this.

Except there's only one out. But that didn't matter to Cruz.

[bighat]

Cruz is so good.

 

Resign that man.

[70charger]

Sometimes you don't even need the bombas!

[IndianaTwin]

Halfway to the hitting-with-the-bases-loaded cycle.

Firing up the Big Green Egg and smoking a prime rib roast. It's hot outside so I might pour a small vodka tonic too.

Moved on from ham, i see?

Ick. Sorry, but ick.

[Diesel]

That was a loud crack of the bat. Dick was right to cover the ears

[IndianaTwin]

 

Except there's only one out. But that didn't matter to Cruz.

 

Oops. 

[FlauerPauer]

Outfielders dogged that one. 

 

EDDIEEEEEE!!!!!!!

[mrtwinsfan]

Wow , are we lucky to have a team that can  CRUSH IT !!!

[Nine of twelve]

I'll give Dick a break for misjudging that one.

[twinssporto]

Cruzin!!!!!!!

 

AWESOME!!!

 

No doubt when this team gets hot they can score some runs.  Fun to watch.

[IndianaTwin]

 

Ick. Sorry, but ick.

 

Yeah, I don't like green olives either.

[Squirrel]

Gimenez hit that wall hard ... looked like head hit first, too.

 

Two injured Sox ... one per inning.

 

Edit: well, technically, both happened in the first.

[blindeke]

Especially as a Twins fan, you hate to see concussions.

Outfielders dogged that one. 

 

EDDIEEEEEE!!!!!!!

I'll give Jimenez a break for misjudging that one. It's tough when you are trying to play with an injured brain.

I'm gonna do a TD event this summer but we might have to socially distance. Although I think I read somewhere the smoke kills Covid.

Mrs Chief and I have had a rough couple months. Her brother died, leaving his pregnant wife alone, ready to have their first child.

 

She soon went into the hospital, and wouldn't you know it...twins! A boy and a girl.

 

They had planned on having Mrs Chief's brother name their child, but since he was gone, she asked if I would step in, and name their newborn twins.

 

I was hesitant...but she insisted.

 

So I went home, gave it much thought, and finally decided on the names.

 

After telling the nursing staff what to put on the birth certificate applications, I went to her room.

 

"Well," she exclaimed. "I'm exited! What is my daughter's name?"

 

"Denise," I said.

 

"I love it! she exclaimed. "And how about my son??"

 

"De Nephew."

[IndianaTwin]

Uh, that wasn't close to hitting him.

Was more talking about the center fielder.
