Save your money. Only suckers pay to ride the light rail. 

Wife and I were on it going to a game last year and they were checking tickets

I read this week that the Titanic’s swimming pool is still filled with water. 

Too soon?

Damn shame we gotta burn Duran when we went into the top of the 8th up 5-0.

The 2 runs charged to Sands stem from Castro not catching the lineout. I like Willi. But he's not an everyday SS when Correa was out nor an everyday CF while Buxton is out.

Oh my, tough take. I don’t think many center fielders catch that ball. Willi kept the ball in front of him.

How does MLB allow this closer entrance hoopla lol it’s absurd 

All the lights at Dodger Stadium are now LED. They really do a show with them, including making the stadium complete darkness and back in a split second. All kinds of colors, but mostly........ blue. Like a Basketball arena. No waiting for 20 minutes for the lights anymore.

[Aggies7]

Remember when Duran’s finger got a blister in the last inning of game 2 and I wanted to jump for a bridge for a minute

The green line is the light rail line running from Target Field to downtown St. Paul.

I just know how whiny and particular the players are…and for safety, to just dump the lights off at once with thousands of people there lol it’s wild

Let's hope this one goes to 11.

Fun fact: In "Spinal Tap" Christopher Guest based the look of his character on guitarist Jeff Beck (recently departed).

[Tlaker]

I like the decision Castro made there, myself. 5-0 lead, you just don't want the ball to go to the wall ala Torri Hunter's decision way back when in the play-offs.

WIth no game on last night, Mrs Chief and I settled in to watch a flick on Netflix. I wanted to watch "The Hunt For Red October."

But Mrs Chief put the kibosh on that. "I can't stand movies with sub titles," she said.

It got Das Boot?
