Lets get him a Twins win and an Angels loss.

Which one am i responsible for?

 

The win or the loss?

 

(Man, that's a tall order... I was just hoping to provide something creative, like a joke or a poem...)

Sounds Good to me... Belated or not... I'll take it.

Get me the Win... You won't even have to wrap it or provide a card.

 

 

I'll take it as is.

You aim to low.  World Series victory in 2017...

RB,  its your birthday so I figure now is a good time to tell you how I really feel.....I feel fine.

If belated is okay, i can't really take credit for the Twins winning one of their remaining games.

 

Somehow it wouldn't feel right without a card though. And considering all the exciting intros you write, it would be small reward if it were tame and bland...

Great setup, and belated Happy Birthday my friend.

 

Was it Red Lobster or Buffalo Wild Wings?

McCarthy: They can see what is in my recycling bins in my front yard.

 

That's why I keep my recycle bin lid closed.

Wish I could remember what 52 felt like. Really I wish I could remember what yesterday felt like... Now I remember happy birthday old man river.

 

Brian the brain is a lot like the food you eat, the older you get the mushier the food has to be...

Hey Brian, my dad's birthday was the day before yours, and we took him to Red Lobster too.

 

So. congratulations: you have something in common with a 95 year old man.

Happy Unbirthday, RB!

 

I hope that you got an extra cheddar bay biscuit yesterday.

Mejia provides little confidence.

On FS-1 tonight.

Angels lose 4-1.  Big opportunity tonight.

cleveland 4, angels 1. upton 0-for-4. sad.

 

Mejia provides little confidence.

 

Would we feel better about Slegers or Gee in this spot?  I know I was a little surprised to see Mejia back in the rotation last week and wasn't feeling all that great about it before he had the poor outing.

The Tigers have a lot of starters who's name starts with J

Mejia actually looks pretty sharp. 

These announcers suck 

Kepler got screwed more than once in that at bat. 

 

These announcers suck 

 

Really? I thought these FS1 announcers are a breath of fresh air. Learned a few cool statistics I didn't know.

I picked up Mahtook in fantasy for this series. Last series I rolled with Gardner and Ellsbury. Makes it a double edged sword if they do good or bad.

I did the same with Ellsbury.

If the home-plate dirt is going to be shaped like home plate, I think the pitching dirt should be rectangular like the pitching rubber.

I don't.  I did a Google search the first time and I clicked on the WSJ link and that came up with the subscription firewall.  I re-did the search and clicked on the WSJ Facebook page link that came up and then clicked the link to the story off their FB page and that had no subscription firewall.
