Things to Think About:

 

1. Think about Arcia... He's back... I don't know why but I just feel better having him in the lineup.

 

 

2. Think about Herrmann... Rookie Smookie... It's often been said that Rookies tend to struggle when they face MLB Pitching for the first time. That is probably true but there are some rookies who try to ignore that. Herrmann is ignoring it and he is playing like he wants to stay.

 

3. Think About Gardenhire... Herrmann has to be impressing Gardenhire with his play... If Herrmann is going to be on the opening day roster in 2014... Advocacy from Gardenhire would be an important to Herrmann... However... Will Gardenhire be around to give to be an advocate for Herrmann. BTW... Gardenhire is 11 Wins from 1,000.

 

4. Think about a big winning streak... The Twins have 35 games left... If they win all 35 Games... They will finish with a 92-70 record... That might be good enough for the playoffs.

 

5. Think about Plants... People say you should talk to Plants... About 18 years ago I did. I had a short conversation with Robert Plant. Robert was 6 feet tall when I started talking to him... I just looked it up... Today's he's 6-1. He clearly grew... I think this talking to plants stuff actually works.

May the Four Sacred Deities of Australia Guide Mr. Hendriks into the Holy Light of Victory!

 

[MichiganTwins]

Playoffs?

[ashbury]

Playoffs?

 

Even if they miss the playoffs, 92-70 will be a great boost toward next season!

I may even go drink one of these four, just to be in the correct spirit for the game.

I hope it's not the dead guy in the lower right.

What?!? Thanks for ruining my evening.

Smooth and creamy' date=' as always.

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

[Squirrel]

uh oh

Crikey... You are such a feisty little Sheila... You are... Such a pretty girl you are... What I have here is called an orchestral librarian. You can find these gorgeous creatures in cities like Chicago.

 

They are very particular creatures... They like music and they preserve and catalog it. Ok... You want to go now... Off you go... Such a pretty girl. Ok... If we keep walking.... We will find what we are looking for... Just ahead... If we keep going... We find one of those elusive Beverly Hills Lawyers.

First inning homer. That's Aussie for "Not Good".

[Riverbrian]

I've got a bout of August Alergies.... Other than that... I'm just channeling a little Crocodile Hunter.

Mr. Brooks may have a comment about this.

Stay away from stingrays then.

[Squirrel]

Damn ... two things I didn't want to see this early in the game ... Hendryks giving up a home run and Arcia striking out. :/

[snepp]

So much for 92-70.

 

 

 

Guess we'll have to settle for 91-71. Thanks a bunch Liam.

I know... I was almost killed by a couple of them.

 

I was in Tampa Florida and I just missed getting run over by Evan Longoria driving a Corvette.

Nah ... those are just little ones; they might maim you but they won't kill you.

Was Tony Parker with her?

[snepp]

I'm off to a Canaries game, they're taking on the Winnipeg Blue Bom....errr, Eskim....errr, whatever the hell their name is.

 

 

Hopefully this game turns out as well as the last one I missed.

I've still got a Canaries sweatshirt from a road-trip back in the '90s.

Probably... It was odd... I was walking inside a Target when he drove thru the Electronics Aisle.

[ashbury]

Florimon breaks the ice.

[Riverbrian]

Was Tony Parker with her?

 

No... But that would have made it an interesting story.

 

In the car with him was Felicity Huffman... So... It's not that interesting.

[ashbury]

And Dozierzie ruins the shutout. Maybe things are looking up, if Liam keeps his poise and his location.
