I am going to take a break from this team until they start to play better.

The nice thing about baseball is since there are games every day it's easy to find something to watch when the Twins aren't doing so well

Doesn't pertain to our team, but I happened to see that Gio Urshela fractured his pelvis and will probably miss the rest of the season. Really liked him when he was here last season. 

Won't require surgery I think I saw. Hope he recovers and plays again

[USAFChief]

And...some crappy baseball costs at least one run.

3 pitch walk, ignore a slow runner. Double off the wall.

Hello everybody!

That phrase just kinda made everything seem like it was going to be alright …

Doesn't sound like it'll be this year:

Six pitches, three outs.

[Aggies7]

Really made him work that inning!

Including a K, somehow.

My girlfriend actually got me two tickets for tomorrow afternoon’s game, god bless her heart. Stupid me left them on my car dashboard. Someone broke in overnight and left two more!

What's the difference between ignorance and apathy?

I don’t know and I don’t care

YES!!

[RickOShea]

Shhhhhhhhh, quiet, Buxton's up!

[Mortimerkenny21]

Is Buck heating up?

[rwilfong86]

Buxton with another hit. I am liking this

[Mortimerkenny21]

Huh, kinda weird. I'll take it!

[CRF]

He can't play in the field, but he can run full tilt and do a headfirst slide into 2nd. 

[rwilfong86]

And Kepler. Do my eyes deceive me?

[USAFChief]

Kepler with an RBI single. 

 

As expected. 

[Winston Smith]

Two more weeks of Kepler now.

[RickOShea]

Unbelievable. I was dissing Buxton and Kepler hitting where they were in the line up.  

[HokieRif]

if giving Buxton and Kepler crap on the message boards is how we get them to produce then I may need a faster internet connection and a lot more beer the rest of the season.

Fill out the proper forms for comment dispensation and submit to the mods.

[rwilfong86]

Nice hustle base running there

[USAFChief]

I like it. Aggressive send with 2 out.

[RickOShea]

Any rain the forecast, tonite?

Lots to like about that play. Lewis feeling good, Vazquez hit it hard and they put themselves in position to take advantage. Morneau said it was about time they had good luck, I disagree, they made that happen.
