15 Things More Pleasant than this Twins/Dodgers Series

[renabanena]

....at least it wasn't a perfect game... 

1. THE Gary Sánchez bat flip 

2. When you order buffalo wings with ranch but accidentally get blue cheese instead 
3. Seeing a beardless Josh Donaldson for the first time

4. Going to the dentist, which is a wholly underrated experience. 
5. Every Eddie Rosario error ever made
6. Gotti
7. The week after the Will Smith slap, when no one talked about everything except for the Will Smith slap
8. Whatever this was

9. Losing on Opening Day

10. Going to the game on Dollar Dog Night only to realize Dollar Dog Night is tomorrow
11. Leaving your Eddie Rosario bobblehead at the office before the pandemic only to have it stolen 
12. *Sigh*

13. Accidentally doing weird things with your mouth in public because you forgot that you’re not wearing a mask 
14. The ACT’s AND the SAT’s 
15. Somehow this too, because time heals all wounds

Being busy and missing the first 4 innings - then wishing I had been busy and missed all nine. 

[LA Vikes Fan]

Following the last two games in an office in LA surrounded by Dodger fans too polite to say the truth - the Twins are nowhere hear the Dodgers league. 

[Unwinder]

I notice "Alex Kirilloff's wrist flaring up again" isn't on the list, so on the bright side, this series isn't even the worst thing going on today.

Who was the batting practice pitcher in the Twins uniform in the 8th inning?

[rickyriolo]

These 2 games with the Dodgers just shows Twins fans how far away we really are from competing for a World Series title. I am bummed out now

[USAFChief]

On my list:

-Root canal sans novocaine

-any NBA game

-walking barefoot through the Sonoran Desert in July, blindfolded

-hanging decor on the walls for Mrs Chief

-doing my tax returns

-repainting the already repainted guest bathroom yet again

Times are desperate when “any NBA team” hits the list

If at first you don't succeed, try, try again.

Add to:

Double session of PT

Watching any hallmark movie

helping my 8 yo with homework

[wsnydes]

I'd add:

Stubbing my toe

Smashing my finger with a hammer

Nails on a chalkboard

Running out of Scotch

 

I will say this though.  That's a really good team and they showed it in this series.  This squad has a ways to go to compete with that.

And:

Checking in at airport for int'l flight only to discover passport was forgotten 2 hrs away at home.

Discovering too late that what you thought was Colgate toothpaste was actually the wife's toenail antifungal cream.

Taking a 2AM swig of milk from the fridge only to find out it was the old buttermilk instead.

Being forced to clean up dried buttermilk spray off kitchen walls the next day by a certain person with no sympathy or humor.

Colonoscopy without sedation, which is actually much more pleasant than swigging putrid buttermilk.

Turning off the game after seeing the Dodgers players laughing and joking in the dugout in the 7th inning.

What's blue and rhymes with, "buzz saw?"

[Dave The Dastardly]

Repainting the back deck every spring.

Repainting the same deck every fall.

Putting the paint dealer's kid through college.

Joyfully watching the snow melt from the grassy yard, only having to watch where you step due to all the turds the deer deposited all winter long while chewing off your arborvitaes, maple saplings and Honeycrisp apple trees.

Taking the snow plow off the tractor in late March, putting it back on the tractor in April, after spending two days trying to remember where you put the pins necessary to mount the blade so you wouldn't lose them, by which time the April snow has melted.

Watching your wife shake her head while you look for the missing pins and telling you the snow will be melted before you get the damn plow back on the tractor.

An empty bottle of Jameson.

I'd like to add that it's pleasant the Yankees are also struggling

Josh Donaldson: .217/.288/.261

Isiah Kiner-Falefa: .059/.111/.229
