In all seriousness, best wishes to Mr Hendricks as he battles that ************ cancer.

Stupid WS playing their center fielder in left center on Gordon. Who does that?

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Buxton will be available to come into the game for Taylor, right? And maybe even, gasp, play center? 

Right?

Let’s not get too crazy here. It’s 68 and sunny. I don’t think that’s allowed until it’s 80+ degrees, sunny, 3 MPH wind or less, and the sun at a 36 degree angle

Wake up!! You're in a cold sweat and dreaming.

Carnac: Sheets and Giggles.

Ed: Be careful of your spelling there, O wise one.  You're a typo away from a modbot taking action.

Carnac: May the fleas of a thousand camels find a home in your underwear.

Ed: Ahem. Sheets and Giggles.  Would you be so kind as to open the hermetically sealed envelope?

Carnac: [reading] "Describe Twins fans' reaction to the White Sox defensive situation at first base today."

[RickOShea]

If the Twins lose and it stays close, rocco will count it as a moral victory.  Losing with buxton, Correa, Gallo, etc out.

Final 2023 Twins record:

77 wins

80 Losses

5 Moral victories

Wouldn't be ironic if the Twins ended up relocating to Austin, TX now that you're back in the Cities?

Hey now...it was proposed seriously that weather was a reason, WHILE IN FORT MYERS, with the second series of the year IN MIAMI.

I might have let Wallner try to work a walk and save the substitution…oh well…

Nobody said you can’t. But to do so at this time is uncalled for.

[mrtwinsfan]

Ah Bummer Byron

Wait... He pinch hit for a non-DH...

 

Does that mean he will be fielding?!

Ever hear of reverse psychology?

Willi Castro using my old technique in high school. If you can’t get a hit, get hit.

Fun fact: when his family came over in the early 20th century, their surname was anglicized at Ellis Island from the original "Disappointment."

[Vanimal46]

Alright Michael, we need a big hit from you.
