Listen to you and your pessimism!!!

Fair enough.  I've never reached "too much rhubarb pie" level either.

Let's get that run in from 3rd here.

[wsnydes]

JUST PUT THE BALL IN PLAY!!!!!

[bighat]

A shame how the Twins had a runner on 3rd with nobody out and they can't even make contact. Embarrassing stuff.

[Mill1634]

I understand not wanting to hit two lefties b2b, but hitting Garlick anywhere but in the bottom third of the order against a righty is pathetic.

Runner on third no outs can't get him in, great start.

[Danchat]

3 Ks with a runner on 3rd… shameful.

[rwilfong86]

[bighat]

Incredibly deflating effort after an amazing start, pretty typical of this team lately. Snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.

[mnfireman]

Runner on third with nobody out aaaannnd 3 K's....

[Squirrel]

Cmon guys ... it's the first inning ... can we please just chill a bit before bringing out the negativity bag to spread all over the place?

Positive= they scored more than they did last night already. Negative= that may be the only run they score, like Thursday,

That was posted after Buxton's triple.  It was a good start at that point.

Or may not be the last run they score tonight

[Doctor Gast]

Hope you feel better. I'm not crazy w/ Sanchez catching and Larnach out. 

Go Twins! Score a bunch

My chicken is done ... now is the dilemma ...

[wsnydes]

Needed that.

Positive comment: It was nice to see Byron Buxton hit a triple. I hope he can start heating up, the Twins sure need him.

Just leave it in the oven.  I'm sure it'll be fine!

[mnfireman]

Buxton looked good running the bases. Good hustle, no hesitation and no play at third.

I'm tempting fate. I'm making chicken.

Grillin shrimp and pairing it with a salad and pinot grigio.

Twins play like yesterday and I see the wine turning into Jack.

And if it's not, you've got pie!

[bighat]

Archer wriggled out of that nicely.

Scoreboard update: Boston just took a 3-2 lead on Cleveland in the 6th thanks to a 3-run shot by Verdugo.
