I got to speak briefly with Morneau last night while helping him sign autographs. I told him that I hoped that the Twins would re-sign him and he said "me too." I think he meant it. Watching him play first base, it was clear to me that he was very focused.

Wait, what?

Glunn, I never took you to be a signature forger. You are getting more interesting by the day.

Thats pretty cool... Did he address you as GLORM?

[Bark's Lounge]

That's what I'd like to call a triple play.

[CairoCrown]

Bremer picking up the slack for the vacationing Bert. Forgot that the Twins don't play in the dome anymore.

[Gibby]

C'mon hairy-necked dude!

[Guest USAFChief]

Got to get a better swing off a lefty on 2-0 that that, Collabello.

[glunn]

Wait, what?

 

I will clarify. The row where I was sitting juts out into the field next to the Twins dugout. There is only one entrance and the 80 year old woman in charge was not letting anyone in who did not have a ticket.

 

Kids were trying to reach over to hand stuff to Morneau to sign, but only the really tall people could reach. So kids were giving stuff to the 80 year old woman and she was taking them to Morneau one at a time along with each kid's sharpie. This was not efficient.

 

So I got up and collected items from 5 or 6 kids at a time, lined them up to make them easy for Morneau to sign and opened a sharpie that he could use for every item. This was much more efficient than relying on the 80 year old woman and opening and closing each person's sharpie. We got about 40 to 50 items signed in a short time.

I should have worn my GLORM t-shirt.

Oh Sure... Here's a photo of Glunn pointing out one of his forgeries.

The Twins offense seems unable to capitalize on opportunities tonight, but Gibson and the defense seem to be doing a great job.

[snepp]

The Twins are gunna win this game.

A Forger and a Saint... Priceless.

I want to see gibson go low and away with that slider more than he has ahead in the count

We could have got more done if I had signed some of them, but I cannot write in Canadian.

I saw a story about this in the LA papers. Very heartwarming, real human interest type stuff.

 

 

 

 

You forgot the part about charging the kids $10 each.

I'm on board.

Way out in front. Pull the string on him Gibsie

It's easy. You just have to add more "ehs."

Actually that would have been funny.

 

The Kids hand you the ball... You sign it... Hand it back and say "That'll have to do... Justin is Busy... Next!!!

Gibson is going to get a double play.

Sure you can. Just add extra u's here and there

[Guest USAFChief]

Sounds like a lot of extra labour to me.

I was going to say: "It is too bad you didn't study the Canadian Version of Rosetta Stone." Then I realized you can't sign a baseball by speaking to it.

True. But Glorm is the type of guy who'd be honoured to help.

You two sure are adding a lot of colour to this game thread.

Anyway, Morneau was the only Twins player who came over to give autographs. Carroll was standing nearby, but no one asked him to sign anything. Morneau spend a good 8 to 10 minutes signing stuff, and the kids (and a few adults) were appropriately grateful.
