Things to think about:

 

1. Think about the Twins lineup... Right Now Aaron Hicks and Clete Thomas are hitting the best out of everyone.

 

2. Think about Joe Mauer... Enough time with the babies already... The Grand Parents have seen them... They are cute and cuddly... You can come back now and hit a home run for each one.

 

3. Think about King Felix... Yeah... He's just the tonic this struggling offense needs. With that said... Who knows... Maybe we will light him up.

 

4. Think about Scott Diamond... The Front office has got to be watching him with at least mild thoughts of sending him down and know he's matching up with thought #3.

 

5. Think about your Television... It's called a TV set... Yet it is only one TV.

OMG... I'm offically old... I can't think of anything I'd rather do.

Nah, it'll be royal doubles in KC.

Heh ... I've already been out to dinner (my favourite sushi place) and am home ... by 8:15. But, I have a good excuse ... Saturday mornings, from 7-10, is my CardioTennis routine, so not likely I'll be staying up too late to watch the game.

CardioTennis?

 

I play Tennis sitting in a lawn chair now. I lost my last match 6-0 6-1 6-0. I fell out of my chair reaching for balls 8 times.

The only tennis I can play these days is on the Wii. I can't say I ever lose that badly, though.

It's too bad the Twins' AAA team isn't still in Portland - it would be close enough to save them the price of a plane ticket after the game tonight.

[Top Gun]

Is it over yet!

i just shoot my opponents these days. haven't lost yet.

shIne brIght like a dIamond.

[Halsey Hall]

What a tough stretch of pitchers for the Twins to face. At least Ploof won't k 4 times tonight. This could be over in a hurry, though.

What is that I dont' even - regular tennis isn't hard enough for you? You have to add more running to it?

[Riverbrian]

Dozier with a big start... Here we come!!

[big dog]

Joe is surrendering $125,000 per day after Day 3 to remain on paternity leave. Paying for college will cost about 3 days each, even given the rapid increase in the cost of higher education.

[twinsnorth49]

And....we're off.

[GCTF]

I would like to volunteer to serve on a committee whose only agenda is sending Drew Butera to the northern tip of Baffin Island to fend for himself.

That will teach you to uber exercise early in the morning....or at all really.

Where do I sign up?

[big dog]

You know, I appreciate what Ryan Doumit did last year, and he works hard now- he's a pro. But it's time to let Arcia and others have his at-bats. I hoped he would have a good year and pull up the young guys with his performance, but it just ain't happening.

[twinsnorth49]

The Hulkster don't need no more turkey legs!

Carol Gardenhire had a point though about getting more paid paternity leave for twins (especially when you are the icon of the Twins).

 

But since Joe doesn't really need the money, it would be a cool gesture if the Twins took what they would have paid him for the next 2 or 3 days and gave it to a charity that benefits kids. Its not like his replacement is getting big bucks.

[Willihammer]

How big of a leashe do you give Diamond, if you're at even a tiny bit serious about winning this game?

[twinsnorth49]

Dozier playing 2nd field or Hermann playing right second?

 

Nice catch

[twinsnorth49]

Got away with that one.

[big dog]

This Chris Hermann guy has his moments, doesn't he?

Long range planning... New Fathers just don't get the importance of that. The Twins will probably have to go to cosmetology school now.

[GCTF]

Where do I sign up?

 

Line starts behind me but I anticipate a lot of pushing and shoving by the masses to get to the front.

[JB_Iowa]

Wow, couldn't hard blink and Diamond had that one over.

[twinsnorth49]

Serious about winning? You've seen the lineup, right?

 

Is that Dutch?
