We don't know if the shoe fits.

It didn't fit for the Twins two years ago...

 

**shudders**

 

...maybe it fit for Cinderella.

I've started a petition to have Lynn traded to the Twins opponent for the rest of the season.  Be sure to sign it!

It’s Chicago, so sign early, sign often.

Who is this Buxton person?  A touted rookie I guess?

He must be a terrible fielder though as Julien and Wallner play in the field as Buxton DH's....

The game so far tonight is what I envisioned for this team coming out of spring training. Why has it taken 3+ months to emerge?

Actually, the White Sox have been pretty consistently bad all year.

My thoughts exactly!

It seems I've gotten the Chicago leadoff hitter's name wrong. 

His first name is apparently Andrew.

Andrew "Ben" Nintendo.

[wabene]

I'm still in the bottom of the first, but man baby Julien and Kirilloff are just getting off each other. Knock on wood this could be fun to watch for some time.

Buxton wow

Lynn is just a big crabby piece of meat, lol

Son of Nintendo? I didn't realize he was Jewish.

I repeat...the remake of "Always Something There To Remind Me" in the Amazon Prime ad is fantastic

WOW, this crappy team took 2 of 3 from Atlanta and we could win EVEN ONE, Twins are SO GOOD.😍

Well...if he's gonna keep doing that...I guess he can stay in the lineup. I bet he's back in the 3 spot tomorrow.

Ever seen a slasher movie? Dont even joke about that.

Still impressed with White Sox defense?

[ashbury]

Had to step away for a few innings.  Any Burger jokes while I was gone?

[Twodogs]

Late to the show, really really glad that Buck has gone deep twice!!

Not the first time, but I went back.

Surprising that the announcers then joked about it. Usually they are quick to apologize. 

it is Chicago

[jkcarew]

Ryan almost at 100 pitches.

A couple more baserunners and Rocco will have to come out to get Julien.

Never was impressed with their defense but they beat a team we could not.

To diss them is an absurd effort.

[ashbury]

Any Grandal jokes, while I'm asking, considering I came back just in time to see him go yard?

[RickOShea]

The fastball hitters couldn't locate last year, is suddenly making some guests appearances  . Adjust, adjust and adjust.

[IndianaTwin]

You heard it here first. 

Gray threw 101 pitches Monday and Ober 90 on Tuesday. I’m predicting we get a couple innings from Sands tonight, he’s sent down, and Keuchel makes his debut tomorrow to set everyone back a day. DeLeon to the 60-day IL.
