I think that's overstating it a bit but TF is quite nice.

They did say as beautiful as Target Field is that is how awful the Metrodome was, LOL

A dirt lot behind a Target with used heroin needles strewn about has more charm than the dome.

If the twins  got no hit in a game and struck out 27 times , roccos  post game summary  would be the players played hard and it was a good game  ...

“Watching” on GameDay. It doesn’t appear the MaeKen is sharp, but he’s held them to two runs in four innings.

Luplow can't even hit lefties. How he has a job, I just don't know. 

Now that Gallo is gone, is Luplow your next project? 🙂

But, but -- as the chorus goes -- how can he learn to hit them if he does not face them, blah, blah, blah.
