  15. With Ash on reconnaissance... We can all sleep tight
  16. Tonight... It's the Twins visiting the Cleveland Indians. In the past 10 games... The Twins are the 2nd hottest team in baseball. Only the Cardinals are hotter. St. Louis is 9-1 and the Twins are 8-2... after that... It don't matter. The Indians on the other hand are 4-6 in their last 10 games and if the Season ended tomorrow... The Indians would be drafting third. Why is this happening to the Indians... Well... Nick Swisher ain't around... that might have something to do with it. After that I'm stumped. Here are some Things to Think About: 1. Getting Healthy -- We all remember the 1-6 start to the Twins season. We were curious to see what new manager Paul Molitor was all about. Most of us were expecting more of the same but the season was just getting started so some of us... held a little optimism and we wanted to be optimistic... at least for a little while. Well... That 1-6 start scared the crap out of all of us. HOW? Did we even win one game??? That was what we were thinking. OH MY GOD!!! it's going to be worse was what we were thinking... The OF can't get to routine balls... We haven't scored a run all year. The Bullpen looks like it was cobbled together with duct tape. You all remember that... Right? Even the most optimistic of us were saying Uncle and it was only 7 games into the season. Then it started getting better... We were 1-6 and then we won the next two games against the Royals to become 3-6 and then came the Indians. In my opinion... this is when the Twins started to show us that it was getting better... This is when we started getting healthy... not physically so much... but mentally. It's one thing to win 2 of 3 from the Royals... but can you take 2 of 3 from the next team up? We did!!! The Indians were struggling and we took advantage of that and to me... It was the moment when we started getting healthy... So... I just want to say Thank you to the Indians... Because you were playing crappy baseball... You gave our team the much needed confidence to start beating teams and now we all feel a little better... (Yeah I know... There are still some Randy Quaid types still out there) but we do feel a little better on average. 2. Cleveland -- This may surprise some of you. Cleveland is the 2nd largest city in Ohio. Columbus is the actual largest city in Ohio. Now before you argue with me... Just take a second to trust me... Because it is true. Here's why... City Population... Columbus just hasn't been as skillful in swallowing up suburbs like Cleveland did. The entire metro of Cleveland is bigger and that's why they have actual professional sports. We all know that the Blue Jackets don't count as professional. (Stopping to Think) Actually... In that light... I suppose the Browns don't count either. The name of Cleveland comes from a big tract of nothingness that "Cleves" the city into two sections. This tract of nothingness actually makes up the majority of city and... and... this is very important!!! The tract of nothingness isn't clearly labelled. Hundreds of people fall into this unmarked zone every day because they don't realize where they are and they are never heard from again. If you ever wondered what happened to Phoebe Cates... we think she got swallowed up by Cleveland. Other famous assumed victims of falling into the Cleveland Nothingness and never to be heard from again: Nick Swisher Ravan Symone Ed Marinaro Tony Orlando Joyce DeWitt Phil Donahue "Tootie" From Facts of Life So Please... Be Careful is you ever go to Cleveland... Know it's there and it isn't clearly marked. 3. Eddie Rosario -- Of Course we have to think about Eddie Rosario... He's the new thing and we all love new things. What a debut... The very first major league pitch he sees... He takes it the opposite way for a home run. One of 29 in MLB history to homer on the very first pitch. Yeah... They sit and wait in Chicago for the very first Kris Bryant dinger... He was supposed to have 20 by now. We didn't have to wait long at all for Eddie to do it. Eddie is from Guayama Puerto Rico and that's on the south coast of that... umm... territory... commonwealth... island... whatever it is. Puerto Rico is an American Territory... This Makes Eddie an American and entitled to... umm... Well... He doesn't get any representation so that's out. Well... I'm sure that Americans spend money when they travel to... Umm... No... We all go to Jamaica for a Caribbean adventure. OK... Eddie doesn't get much from the Government but if Canada ever attacked the island we'd probably defend it. Actually... I'm not sure about that either... I'll have to ask Chief if we would... He'd know. Anyway... it was exciting to see Eddie in the lineup and we hope to see more of him. Maybe he can prove himself enough to stay with the club when Arcia comes back from the D.L. 4. Adam Brett Walker - Sano this... Sano That... While we all keep our eye on Sano and wait for his arrival in Minnesota. However... It does appear that Adam Brett Walker might be sliding under the radar. Sano has 5 home runs in Chattanooga with a .188 Batting Average however... Adam Brett Walker after homering last night is leading the Southern League with 7 Home Runs and a .247 batting average. We all want that big power hitter who strikes out a lot and Sano is that guy no doubt... but i'm just saying... Walker has more homers and he has struck out more than Sano has. So... let's start watching this radar blip and start thinking... Rosario... Buxton... Sano... and... and... Walker are going to be Twins of the future. I wonder if Seth Stohs agrees with me on this... because Seth is the only minor league source that I trust. 5. Banks -- We just remodeled our bathroom... This type of thing is surprisingly expensive. Almost could have built an entire new house at the price. We went to the bank to secure the financing and our credit if off the charts good so it wasn't an issue at all. The Banker seemed very excited to give us money and wanted to give us more. He actually suggested that we build a water park instead. It felt good to know you have good credit and we worked hard to have good credit. But... I got to thinking about the credit check/bank loan process. It turns out that a Bank is absolutely willing to loan you money... but first you have to prove that you don't need it. ------------------------- Game-time forecast: 79 deg F, partly cloudy (sunset 8:31pm), winds from the S at 5mph, 0-1% chance of precipitation LINEUPS TWINS: Dozier 2B Hunter RF Mauer 1B Plouffe 3B Suzuki C Vargas DH Rosario LF Schafer CF Santana SS Pelfrey P INDIANS: Kipnis 2B Santana 1B Brantley LF Moss RF Chisenhall 3B Swisher DH Bourn CF Hayes C Ramirez SS Bauer P Click here to view the article

  18. You got that at Hot Wheels Night
  19. Do not take your wife to that one. It'll be the 6th inning before she decides what color to grab. "I really like the Whispering Peach but the Phantom Mist is nice also".
  20. The worst would be Ladder Night... The first 10,000 People get a Free Ladder from Home Depot. Everybody sitting with a ladder that stretches across multiple seats. Carrying it back to your car... Fitting it into your trunk for the way home.
