If I was the Ball Boy (a job I'd like BTW)... If I was the ball boy... I'd give every ball I collect to the same fan. Just to watch them try to carry 10 balls out of the stadium.

Yeah... It's a pretty big clue on who the Twins think is in the starting lineup out of ST.

But... Dozier can play D

Colabello is becoming my favorite player but they may need to move him to DH for that to Sustain.

Smoother than Santana

I think they put all star ballots together in October

Those French have a different word for everything.

Yeah I know... It's leaves you Charleston West Virginia what the original intent of the Frank Robinson was.

In my pool... A bunch of leaves from October.

Ha Ha... Good one!!! You had to "Raid" the back sections of your mind for that one. No worries... It didn't "repel" anyone.

Thats good... As long we have folks posting ridiculously in your stead.

I'm not sure about the Wi-Fi... But I do know that off topic is really hard to achieve in the game thread.

Game-time forecast: Clear. 0% PoP. Winds 8mph from the south. Temperature around 95. Twins: SP, Nolasco Dozier 2B Mauer 1B Plouffe 3B Colabello RF Pinto DH Suzuki C Fuld LF Hicks CF Florimon SS Rays: SP, Bedard Zobrist 2B Jennings CF Joyce LF Longoria 3B Loney 1B Myers RF DeJesus DH Escobar SS Molina C -------------------------------------------------------------------- Things to Think About: 1. Birthday Presents -- I absolutely tickled that Chris Colabello hit a home run. I think it's even better that it happened on his mother's birthday. I think it's even better that it happened while she was being interviewed. I think it's even better still that it was specifically suggested that he hit a home run mere seconds before it happened. This just ads to the incredible story that is Chris Colabello. I'm starting to feel like I know him. After listening to his mom... It's clear that he is part of great family and these are just great people that I can cheer for collectively. However... I am concerned about the bleeting noises produced by Mom. I didn't recognize them as the part of normal human speech patterns. 2. Chris Colabello -- Not just a home run... A game winning single to drive in two. 4 RBI's on the night just add to his top of MLB Total. Colabello... is becoming my favorite Twin. 3. Rubber bands -- We still have that rubber band strapped around .500. We get game below and we win. We get a game above and we lose. I'm going to be ok with that rubber band if it lasts until July. Then it can snap... umm... in a positive direction please... because I don't want to get hit in the eye with it. 4. Sam Fuld -- Nice debut for Sam... He put the ball in play and he helped us win. It will be interesting to see how much playing time he gets going forward and how much playing time Aaron Hicks gets if he continues to struggle. 5. Gas Station Bathrooms -- I had to use a gas station bathroom the other day. It was locked... I had to stand and wait behind a bunch of customers just to ask for the key. I walked into the bathroom and it was filthy. I wondered why it was locked in the first place. They must have been afraid that someone would break in and clean it.

LOL... And thank goodness

Oh Oh... I'm pulling everything Plouffe is back

Holy Cow!!! It's like 2AM in Tampa

What does that feel like?

I've done it... Accidentally glued my face to an art project.

Florimon would have had that Jennings grounder... (Pause)... Ok... Throw food at me now.

Youd figure Dinosaurs would recognize other "saur's"

Alright Chief... Put the Thesaurus down.

Sigh... Or make that SIGH!!!

They are shifting on Plouffe... Must have some old notes

Ok Plouffe... You're up... Just find the OF please

That was beautiful Dozier... Well done!!!
