You have catching stuff skillz

Game-time forecast: Mostly cloudy. Winds blowing in from left field at 5-10 m.p.h. Temperature around 80. ChiTown will have the Lineups Soon... Live from Minneapolis... Which will make the lineups even more special. ROYALS: SP, House Bourn CF Ramirez SS Brantley LF Santana 1B Kipnis 2B Walters DH Aviles 3B Dickerson RF Perez C TWINS: SP, Nolasco Santana CF Dozier 2B Mauer 1B Vargas DH Arcia RF Plouffe 3B Escobar SS Fryer C Schafer LF ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Things to Think About: 1. This Weekend -- I'll be taking a 4 day break from the Game Thread setups. It's a vacation... It's actually more like a party. All the Moderators will be descending upon Minneapolis to take in Twins Baseball this weekend and I am absolutely excited about it. So excited... I can't really focus on tonight's game. We are traveling far and wide to get together... The Pub Crawl is Saturday... So the entire weekend is a chance to meet online friends from the Twins Daily community... And it's about time. Twins Daily is a special place with special people and I'm looking forward to the weekend. 2. Immediate 5 Run Leads -- How disappointing was last night. Scoring 5 runs before making an out and scoring nothing after that and watching the lead go bye bye in route to a 7-5 loss. That's like stepping outside your door and finding 20 bucks in your driveway and then getting a 30 dollar speeding ticket on your way to work. 3. TJ House -- House is in the House... I just wanted to say that. I already did a thing on TJ House. He's coming into Target Field with a 1-3 record and 4.13 ERA. Not spectacular... not bad. If the Twins remember to bring their bats... They should be OK. 4. Ricky Nolasco -- Start #2 in the return of Nolasco is tonight. Start #1 in the return of Nolasco didn't go so well. But that was against a Kansas City Team that is in a groove. 6 Innings and 5 Runs Allowed will have to be improved upon. He's healthy now... I think it's ok to expect improvement. 5. Relationships -- Both my sons have girlfriends and not once have they asked my advice. After all... I've been married for 24 years. And prior to getting married... I was active on the market. Yet... Not once... have they come to me for advice. It's probably a good thing... because I asked my father for advice once in my teens. He said "Relationships are like Garage Sales... They look good from the street until you get closer and you find out there is nothing here that you need".

Well that's that. It seems like a little while ago... We had a 5 run lead.

Yep... That would be Simplot. When I first moved to town in 1990. We had a North End place about 3 blocks away. Every Day... It was like sticking your face in a McDonalds bag and breathing in.

So Young is Older?

I really don't consider Dallas all that Green either.

Come to Grand Forks... On the North End... It smells like McDonalds French Fries all day long. The Simplot plant makes them and yep... It smells just like them all over the a North End.

Cue Abbott and Costello... Ready.... Here's my response. You mean Young?

This Mom stealing French Fries McDonald's Commercial... Not only is she feeding the family McDonalds... She is also stealing the kids French Fries with premeditated malice. Another family headed down the dark path. It's no wonder we are ranked 31st in the world in math skills and 23rd in science and 17th in reading, The kids just don't have a chance!!!

Atchison is the oldest looking dude in baseball... Maybe 2nd after Jack McKeon.

Twins? Interest? How do you spell... Waning?

If they still had Masterson and Cabrera... The score would be 6.6 to 4.8

Uff Da

I'm just glad... I put those 5 runs in the bank. We may need to get some more.

It isn't very often... Two things do it. 1. Struggling to get the arrow on my computer pointed at the desired icon. 2. Eating a delicious soft brownie and running into a hard nut.
