Good Morning Twins fans and welcome back to more game thread fun! After last nights beating by the Yankees hopefully the Twins come out and put the Bronx Bombers in their place. I'll be listening to the game on the radio as I have to work today. If the world's supply chain wasn't so screwed up I'd be home watching it on television. However, when we can't get materials and supplies on time, "the typical" work week gets screwed up. Kudos to anyone else that has to work today.

By the way, does anyone know the name of the MLB player who holds the regular season record for most walk off hits? The way Polanco has been hammering those walk off hits recently I wonder where he stands in the record books? If I wasn't needed back on the production floor in 15 minutes I would look it up and just tell you. 

I would really enjoy seeing the Twins walk off the Yankees today...

Go Twins!!

Hurricanes are no joke

I know, but this one looks more like a rain maker than a big windy one. Maybe the “bringer of rain” can help us out

It’s a category 1 which can definitely be deadly the farther out to sea it goes the better

That’s definitely not happening. Going to get dumped on here. 2-4” or more closer to NYC. I wouldnt be surprised if one or more of these games is PPD or doesn’t finish. Although with it being the last meeting, I guess they could wait all day tomorrow.

From the weather, it looks like the rain and high winds won't hit the city until tomorrow. I'd say today's game is safe, but a make up game is likely. Really didn't want to have to go back at a later time, but we may have to. The two open days the Twins and Yanks have in common are September 13 and 27.

My Comcast is down and the game is blacked out for me on mlb tv. Comcast tech support has one hour left of their “between 12-2” window to fix it or I’m going to be an angry fellow

I hereby claim Yankee Stadium in the name of the great state of Minnesota. It is now our home field, and they have to bat first!

 

(Think that will work?)

I've had issues with Comcast ... I think you can still get it online through the xfinity site or xfinity app ... can't remember how I did it, but it worked.

Is this like, a Fox game?

The rare time the whole nation has to watch us play?

It's on FS1 for me today ... not on the Extra Innings channel

Well, at least @Aggies7 didn't have to see Donaldson, his favorite player, strike out just now 

I’m listening on the radio. Never good to mouth off about someone and then just have them dominate you afterwards

Donaldson had a word with the ump after the called 3rd strike.

Listening on the radio, you can hear the crowd chanting “kepler s*cks”. So classy

So typical of the big east coast teams ... Boston, Philly and Yankees ...
