Andy Greder on Twitter: Torii Hunter ties Kirby Pucket for sixth on the #MNTwins home run list; Joe Mauer then ties Tony Oliva for second on doubles list. 9:24pm - 24 Jul 15
Read yesterday that Trout and Hunter still talk every other week. People discount the mentoring relationship but Torii and Mike apparently have a genuine friendship.
Pedro Moura @pedromoura · 7m7 minutes ago Mike Trout says he expects to play tomorrow. Out tonight with left heel soreness. He does not know how it started. Mike Berardino @MikeBerardino · 17m17 minutes ago Miguel Sano says his right ankle feels much better. Tested it on the field today. Hopes to play as soon as Wednesday.
Good old California dip ..... lipton onion soup and sour cream. Ranch dressing goes best with vegetables but it would do in a pinch with chips (a little soggy, though).
Wow, a game thread first thing in the morning. All day to anticipate. I hope Pelfrey has a good game. I hope somebody out there wants him (or at least, could use him). I've kind of worn myself out on the voting but I'm sure I'll put in a few hundred more today.
