Wish I could have seen what our 3rd base coach was doing.

Glen, that didn't take a perfect throw, that was a bad choice to run.

Red home jerseys make this team look like a college or high school team. I hate them.

The red unis with the TC over the left chest are my favorite uniforms.

The TC logo is just so ****ing good.

[Brock Beauchamp]

By the way, everyone.

There have been four runs scored in this game so far.

The game is going to clock in at four hours, or close to it.

One run per hour is thrilling baseball.

You don't appreciate smart heads-up baseball enough until you have a team that doesn't play smart heads-up baseball.

I still like the white pin stripe ones they wore in the sixties.

Were they white or cream? I always thought they were cream.

But also, great unis, possibly the best the Twins have worn.

[h2oface]

I like the white with gold pin stripes the best for home. Do they even use them anymore?

Probably were cream.....

Form the Wiki:  From 1961 to 1971 the Twins sported uniforms bearing the classic "Twins" script and numerals in navy outlined in red. They wore navy caps with an interlocking "TC" on the front; this was adopted because Griffith was well aware of the bitter rivalry between St. Paul and Minneapolis and didn't want to alienate fans in either city. The original "Minnie and Paul" alternate logo appears on the left sleeve of both the pinstriped white home uniform and grey road uniform.

Garza has only given up 2 runs over 10.1 innings as a Twin - it's hard to say that he has a future here, but perhaps he could push for a 40 man spot this offseason? 

[h2oface]

The TC logo, when it came out in 1961, had big competition from a cartoon called Top Cat.

IF, if they score and win, it will be by the boys you do not count on; has happened before.

Not sure, but I have serious opinions about the gold in Twins uniforms. It's awful from a purely design standpoint. Not even opinion, literally how humans translate color. It's terrible and embarrassing from a billion dollar organization.

Let’s see. Would we rather have Sano batting against a lefty with the bases loaded and two outs or against a righty with the bases empty? 

Trying to score was a bad idea to begin with, but the more I think about it, the worse it gets.

Really stupid. Arraez makes decisions that are baffling. Doesn't use his head. Passionate, but not too smart in my opinion.

I like white and gold. I always used it in my skydiving jump suits. Black and white and gold. I can see and translate them just fine. But I really don't care that much about the uniforms. I like the powder blue jersey even less, especially just the pullover with no buttons.

White and gold are fine, it's the use of a stroke of gold that makes it a bad design decision. It's just messy, confusing to the eye, and generally bad.
