Twins (Ober) @ A’s (Sears); 6/22 @ 3:07pm CT

[Squirrel]

Eh, it’s just a game. But I still want them to win! Go Twins!

 

[Peter]

Today is huge must win game!!! Twins must stop horrible one run losses!!! You can’t lose these type of games!!!! Need to win next 2 in winning series and go 4-2 against Arizona and Seattle!!!! 

[Ottomatic]

Good luck with that...Grr, these last 3 games have given me too many Fred Sanford heart attacks 

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Only winning move is not to play.

That said, i'll try not to complain too much should they play, even if they don't win.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

My outdoor afternoon commitment was postponed due to possible weather, so now i have to figure out what to do with myself...

[ashbury]

I will complain a lot if they don't win.  I've invested 48 hours in this little venture.

We expect weather in Oakland too.  Bright beautiful sunshiney weather!

That's a nice suggestion. I just might. But one can multitask, and i probably put time to good use...

 

I also promised to play a cello part tomorrow, and considering my cello playing days were at a certain elementary school in Minnesota, i probably could use a refresher.

Nothing ventured, nothing gained. The fact you can still venture at your age, is the gain. 🙂

I also know the way to San Jose but I'm not making that side trip.  Mt Diablo on the way home, instead.

Any relation to Strat-O-Matic?

Nothing ventured, nothing win. Blood is thick but water's thin. In for a penny, in for a pound...

Never count your wildcards before they’re hatched. There’ll be time enough for counting, when the dealing’s done.

My musical ignorance is exposed.  I listened to both songs... I wonder if 100 down will get you a car these days?

If you stop into a church you pass along the way. Just get down on your knees and begin to pray.

It's just a small bass

[Road trip]

Margot leading off.  Castro, our hottest hitter other than Royce, batting 8th today, even though he hits lefties better.  Only Rocco could come up with this lineup.

[ashbury]

Ninety minutes before first pitch.  Looks like a capacity crowd.

Rocco doesnt think its must win having Margot leadoff.

[Azviking101]

Why is Rocco such a goof? Castro has a .940 ops against lefties. Bat him 8th!

but let him lead off against righties where he has a .754 ops

Honestly, i was proportionately smaller then. So yes, except tuned to 5ths.

And they typical expect players to be a mite more nimble.

Remember: nobody ever sang I Left my Heart in Oakland.

And those two guys are going to sit in the seats I wanted!
