Twins Video
1. Boston – I’ve been to Boston once in my life and it was a nice visit but once was enough. I remember losing my pants in the hotel room. I swore I brought some Khakis but I couldn’t find them in my luggage and I was looking around the hotel room when the maid came in and asked what I was looking for. I told her that I couldn’t find my Khakis and she held up my car keys and said “they are right here”. I said “Thanks” and went for a drive around Boston without pants.
2. Our Twins – Just like that… we are back in first place. The experts don’t know what to say. They keep saying the same thing over and over. They still expect the Indians to eventually run away with the Central and they still don’t believe in the Twins. The Twins obviously can’t read.
3. The Red Sox – Things have been below average for the Red Sox this past week. They lost 2 out of 3 to the Angels over the weekend and they lost 2 out of 3 to the Royals before that. Expectations were high for the Red Sox and they are sitting tied for 1st place but it’s not like the starting pitching has held up. Chris Sale is the only starter that is punching teams out on a regular basis and that’s who we get to face tonight.
4. Today’s Joe M Conversation:
Mauer: Hey, Joe… can you look this over and see if it looks alright.
McCarthy: What is it?
Mauer: It’s a letter to Twins payroll department. I’m asking for all 23 million in one big check.
Maddon: Why?
Mauer: I’m tired of running to the bank every time I get a smaller check like this one.
Montana: Smaller check? That check is 1.6 million.
Mauer: I’d rather do it all in one trip.
McCarthy: You spelled receive wrong.
Mauer: I can never spell that word right. I’m bad at spelling.
Maddon: Use mnemonic devices… they help with spelling.
Montana: I before E except after C… that's a mnemonic device.
Mauer: Receive… I before E except after C… hey, that works… is it always like that?
Maddon: Yep
Mauer: That’s weird.
McCarthy: With mnemonics I can spell any word.
Mauer: How do you spell mnemonic?
McCarthy: I don’t know.
5. Invisible Ink – I bought an invisible ink pen about 20 years ago. I think it’s still working but I can’t be sure.
