Wow. Great (sloppy) game 

[ashbury]

A "little stumble" by Julien on the DP ball could have cost against a better opponent.

I just mean they used to be so ticky tack about what pitchers could wear or have on. Not to distract the hitter 

Yup.  It was NFL level

Thrilled to see Duran back. But: How in the world can you be allowed to wear two different colored shoes?

Lights went out in the clubhouse when he was dressing for the game.

I ate Member's Mark chicken nuggets for dinner. Knew they would win.

He seems to have a mental error when he takes the ball out of the glove, but his toss to 2nd base was good.

All the kids are wearing two different colored shoes.  You ain't cool unless you're rocking the two tone shoes.  

I consider it a win if my socks match.

I feel like the sausage needs to go into the Twins Hall of Fame.

I'm a Hawkeye. Every year on the day after Thanksgiving, I turn on the TV and just know that Nebraska is going to find a way to lose. 

Same thing when watching the White Sox. 

And it's a good start to Hosiery Week.

9+ Keep it going tomm

It’s my nurse’s fault if they don’t….. but she is so good looking I don’t really care anymore 🤷‍♂️

They were both Nike shoes. I don't think mlb will mention it. We'll see

That is pretty much my full slate of questions...

Also, their closer is already 0-3 in April. Yikes.

[Aggies7]

3 games is the next longest winning streak in the league

You were saying? 🤣

It was still scary. Mark my words. He will tank this season. And they will stick with him far too long. Not something I wish for, of course, but I have had a vision. 😇

For sure, their R&D budget must be huge.  

But they hold a surprising number of patents.

..... and that's the Red Sox, who is next on the schedule. (The White Sox had a 3 game winning streak coming in, too, though). And, the Red Sox have a winning record, which we are 7-13 against teams with (Red Sox 6-11). So for me, after what will be 10 games against losing record teams, it is no time to get cocky. But certainly to enjoy. Tomorrow we will see if either team still has an active notable winning streak going into the series.

I actually went to 10 games this year. The territory I cover for work includes Minnesota, Wisconsin, Nebraska and Illinois (Northwestern) and I have flexibility in my schedule. Purdue, Indiana and Ohio State are within driving distance. I fluked into being in Raleigh visiting IT Junior when they Virginia Tech in Charlotte and two high school buddies had an extra ticket. I was visiting relatives for the Crossover at Kinnick. Mrs. IT went with me to a few games, but I told her that for the full CC experience, we had to go to a home game, so we made a 21-hour trip to Iowa and back that included the Penn State (Stuehlke) game. 

Just yesterday we bought tickets for the May 30 game in Indy.
