Wow. That was really poor throw by Anderson.

Stevie Wonders is the best birthday song

I think I might have too, and I've had 64...

 

'sa matter? Gotta work tomorrow?

"Wheels" Sano.

This titanic defensive struggle illustrates the legendary resistible force against the movable object.

My grandson’s Little League does that rundown better.

[TwinsCD]

Cue the circus music on that play!!

I dunno...I can't say I see that.

What a terrible game of baseball. Silly mistakes in the field giving away runs. And we're now well over two hours and have only finished 4.5 innings.

[LVTwinsfan]

Gonna have to disagree here. Don’t like the Nike logos across the board, but I think the Twins and Cardinals rock the powder blues.

I can’t even put “rock” and “powder blue” together like that

I'm going with "Sano's gravitational field affected the flight of the thrown ball."

[LVTwinsfan]

I made a note to do that, but then forgot when the time came.

 

Thats part of being 64

[PDX Twin]

On a somber note, I'm seeing in the Post that Tom Seaver has died. As an American League fan, I didn't see much of him, but he always seemed like a good guy, notwithstanding playing for a New York team.

I think the people that have "nostalgia" for the powder-blues don't really remember the not-so-happy years when the Twins wore them.  We got rid of them and then won a World Series.

 

My “nostalgia” issue with the powder blues isn’t that I can’t remember the not-so-happy years. It’s that I still think I might somehow lose the 40 pounds that will get me back into the one still hanging in my closet.

You never forget your first rental tux.

 

 

Close, but my first rental would also need the ruffled shirt.

I liked this post. But I ******* hate it.

Neither can he.

My friend got me a ticket to Yankee Stadium to see Seaver win his 300th game as a White Sox.  Yes, I enjoyed the privilege, but I was constantly watching the scoreboard to see if Rodney would get his 3,000 hit.  And sure enough, he did; as you know, against the Twins.  The two 1967 Rookies of the Year.  Crazy how life is sometimes.

I feel bad if i don't drink the final couple of ounces in a 2 liter of Mountain Dew myself.

 

Probably need it too, as i nodded off when my video feed stopped. Been hiccupping a bit, and falling behind.

 

I attribute that to there not being a whole lot of folk in my neck of the internet watching this game.

[IndianaTwin]

I’ll bet Nick Madrigal is really looking to the 2024 election, so that he can vote too.

Oh wait... there was a joke?

 

Why doesn't anyone tell me these things?!

Problem with that explanation is that the radio waves necessary to transmit the news to you would be on their way to Neptune by now.

 

[ToddlerHarmon]

Would like to see us use up the White Sox bullpen for the rest of the week...

Umps don’t even try anymore, strike 3 to Polanco was awful

[TwinsCD]

C'mon, Blue...that's not even close to ring someone up on!

I believe you'll need to look inward for that answer.
