I once participated in a cake walk--I did not win a cake.  As such, I hope today is indeed not a cake walk for the Twins.

I blame Piranha.

Robbie Ray sounds like myself after eating Taco Bell.

More broken bats than hits. Surprisingly no Ks for the Twins. Of course, the bottom half of the order is when there the K percentages are really high, especially against a lefty.

Audacy has CCO live - I have in on Apple music

What is CCO?  I'm not the most with it.  I have Apple Music but not what the hell I'm doing.

If it makes anyone feel any better, Frankie Montas getting lit up in Philly today.

Seems like this is our best path to the AL Central crown

 

Step one; tread water until the ChiSox have to put their entire 26 man roster on the IL.

 

Step two, profit.

If you care about me at all, please go to Jimmy's Cafe and order the eggs benedict!

Are we sure it was a good idea to give Ryan the Opening Day nod?

I'm pretty sure it was mostly just due to the schedule of abbreviated spring training trying to get everyone ready,  Basically he was the one lined up to start.

You had me at "eggs benedict". I didn't read the rest, though.

Tigers come from 2 down in the 9th to beat the Sox

Not the first time a man has typed that to me. ?

If it's over the weekend, does it still count as a work event?  Shouldn't it be more like Mandatory Non-mandatory Corporately-planned Appropriate Amount of Diversion Occurrence (MNCAADO for short, or Mancado).

[RickOShea]

Twins looking very crisp.  Good loft on fly balls and medium speed ground balls.

Well, she's a partner at a law firm so she technically owns part of the business, which means she does not have that thing called "personal, free time".

Ah, so your wife is the one who imposed the MNCAADO!  And lucky you, you get to be Mr. MNCAADO!

Hey, who doesn't want to be in Walker, MN in early April when there's still six inches of snow on the ground? I mean, this is basically Jamaica IMO.

[Cap'n Piranha]

Seems like the game is putting some posters to sleep.

Spring training is over. You're not allowed to use that phrase until next spring.

I wouldn't mind a little variance in the weather.  My a/c has already run several times in '22.

Yeah, we were poor growing up. I had this cheap little hand held calculator with a broken multiplication key.

 

Yup...

 

 

wait for it

 

 

...times were hard.

[Mill1634]

Ryan is really battling it. 

[stringer bell]

Ryan hasn't been sharp with his command. He hasn't left many in the middle except the one to Haniger.
