Gee whiz, i was having such a wonderful dream, how Colume saved a game against his old team, and we made up a coveted game against our heated rivals. then i looked at a box score and saw how many more we needed to make up. How soon do they start publishing magic numbers?

 
Just let me revel in my team's success one more game, until they have left for Iowa...
 
Wait, there isn't a MLB team in Iowa?! What gives?
 
Oh, right, they were going on last night about the field of dreams game, and how it would be if Kevin Costner rotated his crops and players had to disappear into beets. Obviously beets would be where football players go. Don't they know anything about how crop rotation works?
 
Anyway, far be it from me to miss an opportunity to find out about Iowa!
 
About all i know of Iowa i learned from the Music Man:
 
 

I wonder if the Music Man tale is connected to the Iowa Band Law which i heard of because of the King March of that name:
 
 

 

March? That must mean it's still spring training. Gonna roll over and catcha few more foul ball z's.  Wake me on openning day!
 
Oh right...
 
These things, whatever they are for.
 
(lineups)
 
I hope Buxton stays healthy for a whole season!

Nice ... They pushed Lynn back.  I know Lopez has been better out of the pen, but the Twins always seem to get to him.  Hope that continues.

Perhaps that is the solution to get games done at a reasonable hour...start them at noon!

I agree, nice top half of the inning by Ober. I haven't been able to watch many games this year and am curious what others thoughts are on the Twins rookie starters?

Sano advancing the runner from 2nd by going the other way - nice to see.  

I thought the same thing and then kinda chuckled to myself.  He gets paid to drive him in, but I'll take the productive out there.

100%. I love to watch him hit but Arreaz is a man without a position. 

Is DH a position? He also did an awful job on that popup....

Love to watch him hit.  In the field?  Not so much.
