Wasting opportunities though.  Royals are schooling us on "we're only down 1-0, at home."

My pick to click: Pagan gets the ninth and coughs up the lead.

Sorry to be a Negative Nelly there.  Just got that feeling.

Next time you get that feeling take some pepto bismol

[Tjwalsh65]

3 hit shut out.

Only way I can watch the Twins is on my work computer actually.

I've been on zoom meetings all day. I just put the game up on the same screen as my camera and it makes it look like I'm paying attention.

I've been multitasking during meetings

That’s a good win for Twins pitching staff, Ryan was great, but the bullpen showed up too, they needed that. And timely defense against a team that thinks it can run at will on the Twins, that attitude cost them today

But what does everyone think you're reacting to when you start swearing and throwing calculators and staplers when Sano strikes out?

Golf or hike with me? Not that I'd drink this early, of course...

[RpR]

Dr. Smith pitched another excellent game.

They need a player named Will Robinson because then Sano could come waling out waving his arms shouting: Danger Will Robinson - Danger Will Robinson, he looks the part.

Possible, though my knees limit my hiking range these days and I haven't been to a golf course in 30 years (despite living a few blocks from one). It would be fun to get together. Are there any more Portlanders out there?

How about a Hops (or Pickles) game once that gets started?

With Buxton back, I bet the Twins will be able to score one run instead of zero.

This seems like you cheated.
