Looks like the snakes have a pretty decent pitcher. Can we overcome and continue a winning streak?! Ups and downs, strikes and gutters! Go Twins!

Another Apple TV special. Everyone’s favorite…

Also, go USA soccer!

Australia. USA up 2-0 at halftime! 

I don’t know much about soccer X’s and O’s, but the USA looks very good to me

Australia looked like they could not do anything. The US was insanely patient, but looked slower than last week. Mind of a sloppy half.

My 28 yo son is a huge football fan. He's partying outside the stadium with thousands of others. Happy people like him get to experience the world cup. They're going to a game next week.

Looks like there’s a lot of people into it. Or at least willing to root for USA sports! It wasn’t that long ago when US Men’s soccer was a laughingstock

What's the over/under on Lewis K's?

I'm not sure there is an actual Vegas bet on it.  My personal bet would suggest 3.5 as your line.

[Western SD Fan]

I hope Gray does well tonight as it is getting hard to see his name continue to get penciled in the lineup.  His fielding has diminished over the last month and his hitting was never stellar.  Playing Kreidler every day until he cools off would be a better play.

I'm disappointed he's on the roster at this point.

Hour and a half before first pitch , I'm primed to stay awake for the game ...

Looking forward to a first inning ambush we have seen the past few games , come out with a killer instinct  ...

Let's go twins, your sucking me back in again , for how long , that is to be determined ...

Agree.

[stringer bell]

Keaschall had a really nice game yesterday, even made a couple of nice plays in the field.

[Western SD Fan]

I'll be curious if Cory is still moonlighting as the Twins radio man tonight as that is how I will be consuming the game.  No Fruity TV for me.

Gray played well in the field at Texas, but he’s really stretched at shortstop. I’d like to see more of Kreidler until they can recall Culpepper.

White Sox lose 4-3 to Tigers.

I kinda agree too , gray has never really had an opportunity to play much in MLB  , the twins of course have given him the opportunity to play , hes got more at bats , homers , rbi's than he ever had , so for him I'm sure hes having a good time collecting a mlb salary , is Kreidler better defensively  , probably  , is his hitting or for that matter Gray 's hitting going be a plus  , we will have to wait and see how long before Gray wears down and twins make a move ...

He has won some games for us with the bat and does make a nice play ever sometimes ...

Depends. Where is he in the order?

[krink]

Well, glad to have a game more naturally suited to my nocturnal schedule!

And, as always, if there's one thing I can commit to it's a bit! So today threat! If the Twins lose to the Diamondbacks today I will be putting itching powder into one of their jerseys. Which one? Thats a surprise!

(Its obviously going to be the Cities Connect jersey. So hideous.)

Eastern time here means I'll leave them to your capable hands! Win Twins!
