  1. I don't mind them I just really want the Robin's Egg Blue back. (WITHOUT THE BLUE PANTS) White Pants... Robin's Egg Blue Jerseys... Red Letters.
  2. Grossman is building up some cred with me I want to keep him
  3. The Twins are hot enough to lower that
  4. Ever since I was young... I've always struggled with drawing Now that I'm older... I'm struggling with walking.
  5. Add Mauer with a bald head... just under the flames.
  6. I'll be reading them. Right now I'm assuming a high probability of entertainment.
  7. Just remember to lift with your legs
  8. Mrs. Chief is sad because the lines aren't working?
  9. BARK!!! We need Sano with an actual Cannon
  10. I can hear Roger Daltrey belting that out.
  11. I'm not sure what he was sitting on.
  12. I missed the first couple of innings because my youngest son stopped by and we decided to go out to dinner. He chose the Panda Buffet and I usually like Buffet's. I was surprised... Nothing but actual Panda Bear's sitting at the table and I'll admit that the bamboo was really hard to chew and I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to digest it.
  13. I once Marched for March to end. It was an attempt to hurry up and get the baseball season started.
  14. Spoiler Alert? I was hoping to watch the game with a little bit of wonder.
  15. When I originally read that... it thought it said My Easter EGG of lamb... I suppose that's because Egg seems to naturally follow Easter. My mind has been doing that stuff lately. I was behind a car this morning that had a Trump Pence Bumper Sticker. I followed that car for about 4 miles. It was about Mile 4 when I realized that it didn't say Trump Fence.
  16. I swear... These things bring me to tears laughing so hard... every,,, single... time.
  17. I don't mind Pressly but he has only established himself as basically pretty dang close to average. If anybody projects him as a set up guy. They either lack better options in the pen or the skill to evaluate.
  18. If it was me... I'm not dropping any pitcher from the 25 man until they have proven they deserve it. I'm not there yet but the first two on my list based on performance are Gibson and Hughes. My leash on those guys is getting tighter by the start. Until we have a clear fail... I'm waiting for a pitcher to get injured before I reduce to 12 pitchers and add that needed extra hitter. I would like the Twins to reward good performance. I wouldn't have started with 13... but I'll stay at 13 as long as everyone is performing. While I wait for a pitcher to go down. I'm giving Danny Santana about 3 straight starts and I tell him... you get 3 games to show us something. What would he have to show? That he can actually contribute to a win or at least raise his metrics. If he doesn't... down he goes and up comes Vargas.
  19. Make the sheep think of Paul Molitor
  20. I don't have an explanation. I only know that if you ignore the criteria when posting. Your left hand pinkie turns into a frog and it tries to constantly hop away but can't because it is attached to your hand. If you ever see someone with this affliction. You can't help but stare at it.
  21. My insurance guy claims that I typically don't care at stop lights.
  22. Post #5000 must contains mentions of: Mac and Cheese Why Stop Lights don't use the color Blue And the Average thoughts of Sheep
  23. Our Twins kick off a three-game series with the Tigers this weekend. The last time we faced the Tigers... we were in first place. Since that time we have been re-accommodated into last place. We boarded the division, sat in our first-place seat and the Cleveland Indians security officers came around and forcibly removed us from our seat… And don’t tell me the AL Central is overbooked because it’s not. Yeah I know… I’m stretching this... trying to make this work but continuing with it because I have no other place to go. If you follow the timeline of events, this Tigers series is where the Twins run back on the plane shouting frantically… “I need to get home.” At least I hope the Twins are frantic about it. Eight runs in the last 4 games, we need to get home!!! Here are some things to think about: Our Twins kick off a three-game series with the Tigers this weekend.

Eight runs in the last 4 games, we need to get home!!! Here are some things to think about: 1. Flight Attendants – The last time I flew, I slipped the flight attendant $10 and asked if I could give the pre-flight announcements… She said, "Make it $20." I stood in front of everyone and said, “Before we start blasting through the skies in this pressurized tube, can you please pretend to give me your attention. The use of seat belts is required when the seat belt sign is on. To operate your seat belt… insert the metal tab into the buckle and pull tight. It works just like every other seat belt… and, if you don't know how to operate one, you probably shouldn't be out in public unsupervised. In the event of a sudden loss of cabin pressure, masks will descend from the ceiling. Stop screaming… grab the mask… and pull it over your face. If you have a small child traveling with you… secure your mask before assisting with theirs. If you are traveling with more than one small child… pick your favorite. Your seat cushions can be used for flotation… and… in the event of an emergency water landing, please swim to shore and take them with our compliments.” 2. Our Twins – We are currently in last place and just one game back in the standings. If everything goes right… we could go from worst to first in one night. Here’s how that can happen: the Twins beat the Tigers, the Rangers beat the Royals… and… the Indians and White Sox both immediately join the NFL because they will end up winning more games than the Browns and Bears. 3. The Tigers – Justin Verlander takes the mound tonight. In 2014… at age 31… Justin Verlander surprised everyone with a terrible year. While Verlander struggled, there were quite a few experts who said that he was done. These experts were very sure of themselves and very convincing in their arguments. The Justin Verlander that we once knew was certainly just a shell of his former self. In 2016, Verlander surprised everyone by nearly winning the Cy Young award. Through three starts in 2017… Verlander has an ERA of 5.71. How 'bout that… those experts in 2014… they were right. 4. Today’s Joe M Conversation McCarthy: Hey Joe… What would you want your last words to be? Mauer: I don’t know… I hope to come up with something worthwhile, something lasting, and something important. I probably won’t be prepared for it and it’ll end up being something like… “Get the damn dog off the bed”. Maddon: I won’t have any last words. McCarthy: Why not? Maddon: My wife never lets me have them. 5. Books – A friend of mine said that he loves the smell of books. I immediately questioned if he knew how reading works. ____________________ Lineups: TIGERS Ian Kinsler 2B Nick Castellanos 3B Miguel Cabrera 1B Victor Martinez DH Justin Upton LF Mikie Mahtook RF James McCann C JaCoby Jones CF Andrew Romine SS Justin Verlander P TWINS Brian Dozier 2B Max Kepler RF Miguel Sano 3B Joe Mauer 1B Robbie Grossman DH Jason Castro C Jorge Polanco SS Eddie Rosario LF Byron Buxton CF Hector Santiago P Weather: 60 deg F, some clouds, a little wind, no rain.
