Is this the first meeting of the season between the Twins and Tigers?

Yes

[cHawk]

Whenever I see the name "Boyd", I think of Tyler Boyd of the Cincinnati Bengals.

[RickOShea]

My daughter and I were watching some crime show.  The headline of the local newspaper from the show read, "Local man, shoots himself several times,  dies of apparent suicide".  We both looked at each other  with a quizzical look.

[cHawk]

That was a well-placed fly ball.

Whenever I see Boyd, I think “boy was I wrong, good thing I’m not the Twins GM!”

I think this will be an easy one. You have a pretty big face. You should easily fit 65.

It's big, yeah. Pretty? Not so sure. 

[Parfigliano]

Buxton should bunt now and again

Somehow Someway... I'm gonna get it done. 

Although

Somehow Someway... I believe I will end up punching myself in the face multiple times.

I think of Clint Eastwoods housekeeper's neighbor, whose daughter adopted a boy named Boyd.

Are thumbs fingers?

He could incorporate it into his commercial, 'Here comes Bunty'.

Per the National Institutes of Health:

Although in some languages, including the Icelandic and Russian, the thumb is referred to as “the big finger”, in other languages, including the English, it is considered as a special digit, a non-finger. There are anatomical and physiological reasons to separate the thumb from the fingers.

So Non Finger. 

Therefore no middle finger?

So if I'm speaking English, I only have 8 fingers?

No mom ever said "8 fingers and 10 toes!" referring to their newborn.

Should I answer in English or Russian?

[USAFChief]

Meanwhile, WTF Sonny?

[Parfigliano]

Come on 

[Craig Arko]

In palmistry I think the thumb is considered a finger.

[RickOShea]

I feel like we keeping Detroit in this game.  Even though it's early, I feel like we're gonna let them hang around, giving them a chance to take this first game.  Also, we need to add more runs, and can't shut down the offense.

Whatever you choose. However, it was asked in English, I believe.

[IndyTwinsFan]

Sonny isn't going to last very long if he's having this much trouble finding the strike zone.

Already over 60 pitches with none out in the 4th.

Clearly an error on mlb gamecast, as that batter struck out and walked!

 

[CRF]

Clouds are forming...it's only partly Sonny right now. The dp sure helps though.

I was just thinking about Father's Day. If my kids get me socks. Not only do I get the gift of socks but I also get the gift of not having to go to the store and buy socks. 

The last socks I received as a gift - definitely dad-approved.
There were three pairs - one pair primarily navy blue, one pair white, and this pair.

Bad day for Gray?
