Just checked the score too...woof

It's not that close. They've gotten lucky on D a few times....

[Don't Feed the Greed Guy]

One inning down, three to go before Rocco comes out for the ball...

Common misconception: the Pohlad family owns the Twins.

 

Actual: Sal Perez owns the Twins.

Ha!  That's not good.

I have a hard time feeling too badly for Boston though.

Lopez puts the Royals down 1-2-3 in his first inning with the Twins. Arraez singles in his first AB with the Marlins. Win-win.

Only 2 beers in the fridge when the game started.  My dear wife asked she could have one.  Of course I said yes.

 

What have I done?

Cut your beer supply in half.

So much for the leadoff runner...

"Do as I say, not as I do."

 

Same thing I told my kids.

With the sped up pace of play, they'll manage to spend more time between innings on commercials than they will playing the actual game. MLB might consider that a success.

Might cut down on the LOB.

On pace to leave 4374 mean on base.

Looking at who makes up the bottom of the lineup, that sounds do-able.

And it did.

Silver lining!

You can't change the past, but you can find out if you can get more beer delivered.

[USAFChief]

I put my phone in "Airplane" mode and next thing you know Siri is telling me "don't call me Shirley."

"Johnny, what can you make out of this?"

Not sure how it looks on tv….but Pablo is dealing

[stringer bell]

Did the scorer give Gallo a hit? It would have been odd to call that an E-9 on a grounder through the right side.

Radio said that they called it an error.

Nice to see that Correa hasn't been forgiven in KC.

I opt for the cap!

We doing that ghost runner thing yet? Seems like both teams are in a hurry to get there.

Time for Squirrel to lead a TD sing-along of 'River of Jordan Balazovic'
