North loop by Target Field or Northeast Minneapolis. Uptown is unfortunately a ghost town now.

I know … Lin-Manuel could hum ‘New York, New York’ to himself.

Wish the Twins could get him to the TC to do something at a game, sometime … you know, a Hamilton night! Then @chpettit19 wouldn’t have to miss a game 🙂

[mrtwinsfan]

Just curios ??  Does anyone enjoy the Goofy calls by yanks broadcast guy, Sterling ?

[bighat]

Here's hoping the team gets off to a better start than yesterday. To have your three best hitters all go down on strikes to start the game was a terrible tone to set - the rest of the young guys all followed suit. 

Would be happy to see a couple ground outs and a fly out in the first inning from Twins batters. Just make contact, put the ball in play, give yourselves a chance. They've gotten to Cole before, it can be done. 

[ashbury]

I want Julien to get a couple of hits today, and show that he's making the case to stay up.

With enough scotch you could do enactments … how fun!

Correct.  I found the reenactments of the White Sox defense to be particularly realistic too.

With a recording of Yakkity Sax going in the background for them.

I was listening to them during the blow out game one. They didn't have any chance to make any of the goofy calls, which are quite annoying unless you are a Yankee fan. They were very good though when listening to a larger sample. The obviously do their research on the opponents and it showed when they had to fill time in a blowout. It was an enjoyable listen.

The shadow puppet re-enactment you do during the game is top notch quality. 

[Hrbowski]

[Jocko87]

He said last year he loathes being DH, screws up his game. It showed last year and now is showing again.

[Vanimal46]

Who had Dick Bremer saying slutter on their bingo card today?

[mrtwinsfan]

He says he doesn't mind it this year (according to what I heard on a radio pregame show) but his numbers aren't backing that up yet.

He should be Playing c.f.  Clogs up the D.H. role , im more worried about his base running and Sliding skills - Which with all these K,s were not seeing anyway, Look back 2 games when he Slid into home behind Taylor, Not pretty,  Go Twins!!!!!

[USAFChief]
