I've never been so disappointed with a loss in my life! Just kidding... I'm happy.

I find it hard to blame anybody with the Twins for anything right now. They didn't make all the moves that I would have but that is my fault because I never called them to let them know.

Put me down for Original Recipe My wife doesn't let me eat it anymore. I'm thinking about getting a new wife.

It just takes a willingness to invest in the bullpen instead of being content using coupons.

I was thinking about 4 new big arms at a cost of 20 million plus Burdi and Chargois.

I love Buxton in CF. Dear Baseball Gods... Let him keep playing that way... and please keep him healthy.

DOZIER Take that Flauerpauer

20 million based on last years prices. Chief has that kind of money in his glove box.

I normally don't make these type of comments in the game thread. But... When I look at the Indians Pen. When I look at the Yankees Pen. When I look at the Red Sox Pen. When I look at the Astros Pen. I immediately wonder if Falvey and Lavine are paying attention. Bullpens are winning championships now and will win more in the future. Please get bullpen serious in 2018... Please. I've been a good loyal fan and I've been asking specifically for a shut down bullpen for two years now. Do it for me if you can't do it for yourself.

This game is on pace to end around 10am

Gee over Duffey every single day and twice on Sunday.

Hilary was also celebrating.

Everything besides the words you typed makes perfect sense to me.

I think it is Ok to celebrate any accomplishment. If they all learn to pronounce Adrianaza's full name correctly. Go ahead and celebrate that. Never waste an opportunity to gather together and have a good time.

The Twins are in Cleveland for a 3-game series with the Indians. We all know the situation but there will be no talk about the Twins being in until they are actually in. There are many common phrases that are in existence to warn against such things: You don’t count your chickens until... Someone asks you “how many chickens” you own and you want to answer accurately. Don’t cross that bridge until... You pay government ransom in the form of a toll. Everything comes to him who... Has a very limited amount of everything. Rome wasn’t built in... Bulgaria Here are some things to think about: 1. Ohio – With an equal mix of Republicans andDemocrats, every 4 years the state of Ohio gets to decide who the President of the United States will be. All the other 49 states spit out their assigned number of electors consistently the same, leaving it all in the hands of the 18 Ohioans in the Electoral College. This important decision is being handled by a people who elected Jerry Springer mayor and chose Hang on Sloopy as the state song without being forced to by gun-toting McCoys. 2. Our Twins – The math is pretty simple. There are 6 games to go and the Twins have a 5 game lead over the Angels. The Twins would have to lose 6 in a row and the Angels would have to win 6 in a row for the Twins to at least not be in a tie-breaking game #163. I am somewhat comfortable with our chances but also cautioned by the knowledge that the odds were once against me learning how to use punctuation and look at me now… after ChiTown edits all my mistakes. [Editor's note: up to this point, I have made 11 corrections. Some just for 'style' purposes. This does not include the ones I missed and will change later.] 3. The Indians – They have been long assured of a postseason spot. However, that doesn’t mean they have nothing to play for. They hold a 2-game lead over the Astros and keeping that lead means home field advantage through the AL postseason. They are also 1 game behind the Dodgers for home field advantage in the World Series. It’s possible that they may actually try to win. 4. Today’s Joe M Conversation: Morgan: Give me a beer, Joe… I skipped out of work early today. Maddon: Enough work, eh? Morgan: Every day at work… there comes a time when you decide that you are not going to do anything productive the rest of the day. Instead of sitting surfing the web, I just left and here I am. Montana: It’s only 1PM, Joe. Morgan: Doesn’t matter… when you are done being productive… you are done being productive. McCarthy: That is so true. Most people coast to the end of the work day. It comes at random times but the work days tends to wind down like that. Mauer: Yeah… it’s about the 7th inning for me. Morgan: Work is weird… everything gets done at the last minute yet… nothing gets done in the last minutes. 5. Missing Person – On Saturday I walked up to 10 strangers. I handed them a picture and asked if they had seen this person. It was a picture of me and 6 of the 10 people said “No.” ____________________ Lineups: TWINS Brian Dozier 2B Joe Mauer 1B Jorge Polanco SS Eddie Rosario LF Eduardo Escobar 3B Max Kepler RF Byron Buxton CF Jason Castro C Robbie Grossman DH Bartolo Colon P CLEVELAND Francisco Lindor SS Austin Jackson LF Jose Ramirez 2B Edwin Encarnacion DH Jay Bruce RF Carlos Santana 1B Jason Kipnis CF Roberto Perez C Giovanny Urshela 3B Josh Tomlin Game-time forecast: Sunny, until sunset at 7:18pm, clear, 80 deg F, winds at 2mph from the NNE Play ball!

Gibby has gone from "Why would you offer him Arb" to "Of course we will offer him Arb". And we really needed that.

Tom, I didn't have time to read this tonight but I already know it's good so I gave you a "Like". Keep up the good work.

Feliz Cumpleaños Río Brian

Yeah I did but it cost me some shrimp space in the end.

We can both remember what it was like when you would walk too far away from the wall and the phone would get ripped out of your hand, fall on the floor and slide back toward the wall. Then you'd pick the phone back up and the person you were talking to would ask if you were alright. I was fine... just ran out of cord... again.
