[AussieG]

Yep, Just perfect

[AceWrigley]

I've seen more life from poking a stick at a dead hedgehog.

[Game7-91]

Wow, didnt know the game started. Nice break for me apparently.

[USAFChief]

[Irishman]

When will Buxton play?   Is he out of season?   

[h2oface]

Just put this team on National Broadcast and kiss the game goodbye.

Once I went to bury this huge, fat raccoon in the backyard, only to find out it wasnt quite dead when I shoveled it. Rabid. And in a bad mood. Got my attention real fast. Maybe our guys will take the rabid route tonight.

He's been out since mid-May

4 runs allowed on the first 15 pitches. Stunningly efficient. Look for the Spiders to continue to swing early in the count in the hopes that Rocco doesn’t pull Bundy until the spreadsheet-mandated 5 inning mark.

[mrtwinsfan]

Great aa.b. Rookie

[h2oface]

So close to out, but not, That's the way things are going for the Twins.

Meanwhile, back at the game, 4-0 CLE in the top of the first. Sheez.

And to think we waited over an hour for a game that's making some of us to want to puke our guts out in the top of the first.

Blech!

Nick Gordon doing his best Kepler impression

The pace guy. "on pace to win the game 36 to 0." Right. Pace is not a factor, ever.

Not sure if I should laugh or cry at this gawd-awful start.

With the game being on Apple TV, this is one of the few games ill get to watch this year. All during the rain I just kept hoping it wouldn't get postponed, Frustrating, but at least I had a pizza and chat with an old friend during it.

To be young and dumb again...

 

[AussieG]

Bundy looking very hittable 

[AceWrigley]

Lets see . . . oh yeah . . . the weekly flyers came in the mail. Oh look, hamburger for 2.89 a pound, not bad. Cuz. . . we need more MEAT!

[IndyTwinsFan]

At 4 to 0, this game may well be all but over already, even though it's only the second inning. 

Sigh!

Hopefully it wasnt IndianaTwin, sounds like the game is giving him some GI distress.

Pizza sounds good. What toppings tonight?

[h2oface]

6 hits in 2 innings. Good show for the home crowd.

That was me who said that.  Keeping it all down, at least for the time being. 

[AceWrigley]

The 3 former Yankees to start off the 2nd.

[AceWrigley]

See, you say the word "Yankees" and good things happen.

Sausage, Canadian bacon, mushrooms, and onions. Not bad.

And Im actually a huge hypocrite. I've been very much enjoying this cool, rainy day. I am thrilled not to be watching the Mariners and Braves though!

[AceWrigley]

Hmmm . . . I guess Caveman didn't get the memo.

Just can't be on the outfield grass.

Thanks
