I'll take care of it. I'll be right back.

There is somebody employed by the city of Chicago. That person's job is to go out and purchase this stuff.

Yeah... I should have added... or something in between.

He is either hurt or pitching on Saturday for the Twins. Or He looked at his Manager and said. "Only 1 hit so far... I'm quitting while ahead".

Not a problem... I'll spill the peppers, onions and celery salt on my tie in Chicago. The Tie will end up looking very Chicago.

With that home Run... The Twins have now homered in 16 straight games. The Previous Record was 16 in 1979. Although... It was pretty easy to do in 1979 with Rob Wilfong in the lineup.

Tied the Record

BUXTON

Knowledge!!!

Post of the night Low Bar for sure But still... Post of the night

This isn't meant to be a slam on Plouffe because I was proud of how Plouffe progressed into a fairly dependable defensive 3B. There was a time when he clearly wasn't. But... It was hard watching Plouffe be dependable while Watching Arenado, Machado and Lawrie be absolutely amazing at the position. They are simply setting a new standard of what 3b are now capable of doing.

Castro has done that opposite way down the line thing a few times now.

If I had to pick a favorite player not wearing a Twins uniform. Nolen Arenado would be it. He is the best defensive 3B the game has ever produced and he can hit a little to. He is worth the price of admission. Must See TV

I thought the Salmon People attending the attending the tractor pull was more questionable.

I don't know what everybody thinks of the Joe M Conversation... I understand that it is random and weird but I will stand here and tell you this in all sincerity. It makes me laugh. It has become my favorite part of the Intro.

Bashing? I typed that with love in my heart. It felt like indigestion... but i'm sure it was love in my heart.

It is interleague action at Target Field as the Rockies come to town. It's a battle between two first-place teams that were not supposed to be in first place in the first place. Surprised… yes… but we shouldn’t be. After all this time we shouldn’t be surprised by anything in this game of baseball... or in life. If you are surprised following baseball… you have closed your mind to all the possibilities that have been displayed to us over decades of observation. We have enough data now… it should be harder and harder to surprise anyone these days. I tried to surprise my wife on Sunday for Mother’s day. It was an impossible task… she knew it was Mother’s day and she knew she was a Mother. Here are some things to think about: 1. Little Falls – Right in the middle of the state sits a town of 8,000 plus called Little Falls. Little Falls was voted, interestingly, as the most boring town in Minnesota. The 2nd most boring town in Minnesota is Chuckville located up in the boundary waters area. Chuckville has a population of 2, both residents are named Chuck and both are mimes. The Mississippi River travels through the town and it travels out of town just as quickly as it came. Little Falls is the boyhood home of Charles Lindbergh. Charles was the first person to fly across the Atlantic Ocean and he did so in a desperate attempt to escape Little Falls. If you are looking for something to do in Little Falls… good luck with that. Little Falls has always known that it lacks activities so it tried real hard to create something. After months of closed-room brainstorming they came up with the Greater Minnesota Two-Cylinder Club Annual Field Days, which instantly became the longest named event in world history. Every year many people swim upstream, jumping over the falls to attend this annual event. They watch an Antique Tractor Pull, check out the flea market and then they turn a bright red, fertilize their eggs and die. More people would attend this event if they were not eaten by bears along the way. 2. Our Twins – After winning the weekend series with the Indians in Cleveland, the Twins sit alone in first place in the AL Central. The Twins currently have a home run streak of 15 straight games and that is just 1 game away from the team record of 16 straight games set in 1979. If the Twins can hit home runs in the next two games… they will beat the record and Roy Smalley will be completely removed from all record books. 3. The Rockies – This team from Colorado can hit, they can play a little defense and this year… they have added some pitching to that mix. They have a difficult bullpen to navigate with Ottovino, Dunn and McGee setting up Greg Holland as the closer. It’s a good combination because the bats can get them a lead and the pen can hold it. The Twins should probably try to strike early… I’m not always certain that is what they are trying to do in some of the games I watch. 4. Today’s Joe M Conversation Montana: Hey Joe… Are you going to bring that picture back to me? McCarthy: The picture back to you… Mauer: What picture? Montana: The original photo of “The Catch”. I loaned it to McCarthy last week for his photo exhibit. Maddon: The Sports Illustrated Photo? You have the original? Montana: Yes I do… Dwight Clark leaping high in the air in the final seconds to beat the Cowboys in 1982. Mauer: I was born in 1983… that’s probably why I don’t remember it. Maddon: How did that photo exhibition go? Did a lot of people attend? McCarthy: Yeah… the place was packed… the photo was a big draw… everything went great until the building burned down and everything was destroyed including all the photos. Montana: Destroyed? It was destroyed? Do you have any idea what that picture was worth? McCarthy: A thousand words? 5. Chess Set - I have a very unique chess set. I bought each piece one at a time and each of the 32 pieces comes from a different chess set. Not one chess piece is the same style. I bought them all at the Pawn Shop. ____________________ Lineups: ROCKIES Charlie Blackmon CF DJ LeMahieu 2B Nolan Arenado 3B Mark Reynolds DH Carlos Gonzalez RF Ian Desmond 1B Gerardo Parra LF Pat Valaika SS Tony Wolters C Kyle Freeland P TWINS Brian Dozier 2B Robbie Grossman RF Miguel Sano 3B Kennys Vargas 1B Eduardo Escobar DH Jorge Polanco SS Jason Castro C Byron Buxton CF Eddie Rosario LF Phil Hughes P Weather: Mostly cloudy, 80 deg, wind at 11mph from the SW, but dying down; should get the game in before the rains come, but tomorrow could be a different story.

I'm excited to watch him throw tomorrow. I'm hoping that he looks like we all want him to look. I'd like some excitement over his performance.

I look at it this way. She's one of us and therefore I feel pride in her accomplishments. She's not like that Ron Coomer fella who was one of us and then left us for the Cubs.

She's on NHL/MLB Network now. I see her every weekend on quick pitch. Good for her... making nice strides in her career.

SANO He makes it look easy

Yes But I have my own internet.
