Right.  What can you do with a measly $1.55 billion anyway?

You could buy the Twins. Still might need a few investors after taxes leave you with 750 million

[IndyTwinsFan]

You mean we didn't score that inning?  Boo.

At least it's a good dream...

[Blyleven2011]

Maybe we can get 18 or more hits tonight andxless than 10 strikeouts  ...

Or you could just apply for an SBA loan.

Heck yeah. Just having the ability to answer the question of what're you going to do with all that money. And answer. I think I'll buy the Twins 👍

I'd buy the cleveland Cavaliers and make Farva my GM.

If we could get the Pohlads to agree to sell.

BTW. Twins valued at 1.39 billion

It might get you a minority stake. You’ll want another couple billion laying around for petty cash.

Small reality check. $3 billion does not allow you to buy the Twins. MLB keeps their club membership pretty well closed. 

A quaint little villa in the south of France though, with internet (to follow the Twins) would be excellent. 

Buy four of those seats right behind home plate at Target Field. I watched a couple of games from there ... sweet spot to watch the games. Stay away from the food and drink though, so that you don't get stupid or gain a pile of weight.

Good luck all.

You've been in enough game threads to know how well you'd be treated around these parts.  Is that really what you want? 🙂

Substitute a nice beach villa somewhere away from most of the tourists on Maui, and I'd be all in for that!

Chief advisor to Owner: Rocco Baldelli.

[RickOShea]

I wonder if Mr Harvey had the coinage to buy a MLB team?

Kennedy Family has a villa in south of France for sale now.  From the pictures it looks nice.  Only asking 30 million euros.

[Blyleven2011]

Game moving fast for those that are paying attention and not dreaming about the south of France  ....

I saw Mike Pagliarulo when I saw your screen name🤣

 

All good

[stringer bell]

Oh boy, another left hander.

[SwainZag]

Twins pitching is just so much more satisfying and not to mention leaps and bounds less anxiety inducing when no opposing batters are being walked.

[IndyTwinsFan]

Would be nice to have Pablo finish at least 7 innings. 

[stringer bell]

Pablo is one K short of his career high.

[jimbo92107]

Wow, Lopez looks amazing. On the other hand, Tigers...

He only has 8 though?  He had 12 in his CGSO against the Royals last month...and 10 against the Tigers two starts before that

[Mortimerkenny21]

I think we need some insurance runs this inning. 😉
