Never understood the love for Ober 

Grass is always greener elsewhere type thing

[OptimisticTwinsFan]

I thought Ober had upped his velocity to 93-95?

[RickOShea]

I think it would be great to go out for drinks with Bremer.   It would be nice for him to pick up the tab.

[CRF]

The walks are gonna be a BIG problem. Can't keep putting guys on base every inning. This isn't looking real promising so far. 

[RickOShea]

Ober must think he gets paid by the pitch.

[RickOShea]

Nice big league play.  How did that happen?

[CRF]

Nice grab by Castro...I thought that one might be gone. 

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Wow, that sounded like trouble on the radio.

[mrtwinsfan]

Weather ????????

[CRF]

Time to break open the E & J. C'mon Gallo!

Gotta be the Weather ????????

Bremer's constant patronizing comments and set ups for his booth partners gets old, real fast.

Bremer: Roy, did you ever forget to tie your laces on your cleats?

Roy: Yeah, I remember once in Boston.  I tripped on the way out of the dugout.  boy, that was embarrassing.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Maybe the hero today will be Willi Castro......... 

[RickOShea]

After 3 years of futility, Corbin regains his all-star form against the Twins today.  Print it.

[rwilfong86]

Bases loaded.

I think Sam McDowell was only sober once, in games he pitched against Minnesota.

[USAFChief]

huh, imagine that. "MVP Michael A Taylor" doesn't come through.

[rwilfong86]

Other teams have to love pitching to the Twins with bases loaded.

Yeah opposing teams refer to Twins' hitters as being so uptight, with RISP, that you couldn't remove a needle from their posterior with a John deere tractor.

I'm blacked-out from watching the Twins broadcast and I'm listening to the Nats announcers.  Barely a mention about the weather.

I'm blacked out too for internet tv coverage but Ive got it on regular tv because I'm near DC.  I do have the Twins announcers on internet cause I'm a Twins fan.

[USAFChief]

We'll do better when the schedule lightens up and we stop seeing these top-tier pitchers

[CoastiePilot08]

Wow. Is Corbin a cy young candidate? Looks really good. 

[RickOShea]

Buxton's new commercial:  "The Buck stops Here".
