Twins Video
1. Top Non-Trump News Story (Or Stories):
Don Gorske, 64, from Fond Du Lac, Wisconsin has now consumed his 30,000th Big Mac and he has a goal of getting to 40,000, which he figures will take another 14 years. Since he was 18, Don has eaten two Big Mac’s a day for the past 46 years. He figures that the Big Mac makes up about 90% of his diet. He said that he can’t remember the last time he had an apple or Banana. He recently added Fruit N’ Yogurt Parfaits from McDonalds because his wife was insisting on more fruits and vegetables. Yeah, yeah… nag nag nag. As for his health, he insists that he is healthy as a horse, weighing 190 pounds with cholesterol at 165. Just in case anyone thinks he is making this up, he saved the receipts to prove it; which, in my opinion, is really the strangest thing... the fact that he had the foresight to save all 30,000 receipts. The guy is a genius… when he had that first Big Mac… he knew that one day, 46 years later… he would have to prove it with a receipt. Don Gorske already achieved fame in the Guinness Book of World Records, in 2016 when he consumed his 28,788th Big Mac. Much like nobody remembers who finished 2nd in the Masters Golf tournament, nobody can remember anymore who was the guy who had a mere 28,787 Big Macs and who also… had to, of course, save all those receipts to prove it.
2. Our Twins:
Its National league rules so that means no DH. In case you are wondering how our pitchers have done at the plate, Fernando Romero pitches tonight and he has never swung a bat in a minor league game. Jake Odorizzi pitches on Tuesday, he is 2 for 17 over his career. Robbie Grossman is currently 2 for his last 18 so Odorizzi will also be available to pinch hit for Grossman on Monday.
3. The Cards:
The Cardinals are currently in 1st place in the NL Central but the Twins timing still might be better than Yadier Molina’s. Yadier is expected to be out a month after getting hit with a foul tip right where you don’t want it. If you like cringing, here ya go... Yadier suffered a traumatic hematoma, which is a solid swelling of clotted blood between the tissues, and it required emergency surgery. Upon hearing the news… Joe Mauer crossed his legs and said… “Yeah… I’m never going back to catching”.
4. Today’s Joe M Conversation:
Morgan: OK… here’s an interesting question: How many kissable areas are there on a woman’s body?
Mauer: 74!
Morgan: What do you think Joe?
Maddon: Umm… 3?
Mauer: 74!
Morgan: How about you? What’s your guess?
Montana: I read the correct answer in one of my magazines. The Answer is 11.
Mauer: 74!
Morgan: Alright, McCarthy… give me the answer.
McCarthy: C’mon, now… just one… the lips of course.
Mauer: 75!
5. Songwriting:
I wonder why nobody in St. Louis has written the “Kolten Wong Song”. Once it is written, I will wonder why it isn’t sung by Paul DeJong.
