  1. For those of you, aside from Indiana Twins, wondering....that would be Alexi Casilla, all time steals percentage leader. Now, let’s get on with more fun with numbers: Gibson, on track to allow zero hits in 2018, after going the whole first month giving up none. Twins starting pitchers, on track to give up zero runs in 2018, after going the whole first month giving up none.
  2. So, Mauer gets two knocks last night. Brings him up to the total of 1989, which was a pretty momentous year. Aside from Rainman, NWA’s Straight Outta Compton, the birth of the Nintendo’s Gameboy and Taylor Swift, 1989 saw perestroika under Gorbachev and the fall of the Berlin Wall, widespread political upheaval, uprisings and revolutions in such places as Poland, Estonia, Georgia, Czechoslovakia, Lithuania and Romania, the election of FW DeClerq in South Africa and the beginning of the end of apartheid, a fatwa issued by Iranian Ayatollah Khomeini against Salman Rushdie for his book The Satanic Verses, Pete Rose accepting a lifetime ban from baseball, the Exxon Valdez oil spill, the Tiananmen Square protests, the house arrest of Aung Sang Suu Kyi, the Nobel Peace Prize for the Dalai Lama, and the deaths of Nicolae Ceacescu, Ted Bundy, Emperor Hirohito, the aforementioned Ayatollah Khomeini, and Lucille Ball. A 6.9 magnitude earthquake hit the Bay Area right at before the start of Game 3 of the Oakland-SF World Series, delaying the series by 10 days. Voyager 2 passes Neptune, Thomas and Friends and Seinfeld debut, and the first internet service providers are established. Other than that, nothing much.
  3. 1989. A good year. Lots of good things happened that year. However, it may have to wait until tomorrow.
  4. Coda: Twins won that game back in 2015 too. 6-4 instead of 6-2. Let's go Twins, get a series win tomorrow!
  5. So, on the VERY NEXT PITCH, Tim Beckham decides to hit a homerun off of May (to tie the game, but I digress). What does this mean, you ask? It means this. Instead of the replay of my remarkable barehanded, nacho-preserving, lady-in-distress-behind-me-saving snag...the broadcast shows a replay of stupid Tim Beckham's homerun.
  6. So, the ball coming at me, I reach up, and pluck it, barehanded. Nary a nacho is dropped! My dad is impressed, and people around me cheer. Unfortunately I forget to hand the ball off to a child sitting near me, as my hand is stinging too much (stitch marks on my palm). A guy comes down to say "I just heard about your catch on the radio in the breezeway, Jack Morris remarked on the stellar quality of the catch, and that the woman behind me was thankful that I'd saved her life." So, my beef with Beckham....
  7. ChiTownTwins...I think the Michigan theme song for the year should be Ride of the Valkyries.
  8. So the ball is coming at me, essentially right at my face.
  9. So anyway, back on May 16, 2015, I am catching a Twins game on one of my rare trips to MN. Scalp tickets behind home plate in the club section with my dad for $20 per ticket. The seventh inning rolls around, and I am munching on some nachos. Twins are leading, 3-1, Trevor May pitching to Tim Beckham, a man on. 2-0 count, fastball down the middle, and Beckham fouls it straight back...right at me.
  10. So I thought you'd never ask. Let me tell you about my beef with Tim Beckham.
  11. So anyway, no one interested in my beef with Tim Beckham?
  12. How do I say this correctly... Can Pressly keep doing the same thing that Gibson was doing?
  13. Who's got Castro with a grannie here?
  14. Just bought tickets to take my three boys to the game tomorrow. Jose, Jose, Jose, Jose! Anyone else going?
  15. 9 pitch inning helped Gibby there. Easily can go 6, maybe into the 7th?
  16. Gamethreaders are in mid-season form tonight.
  17. The ol' walk-walk-gidp rally extends the lead to 5....
