  1. Just tuned in. Oh God, I’m bad luck. Sorry…
  2. I really didn’t know that Kep’s BA is worse than Simmons’s.
  3. Well, there is David Ross….the only reason I know that is that I made a baseball pilgrimage to Wrigley Field very late in 2016, and it was—a very modest—David Ross Day. So, I’m happy for the guy but wish him a better team.
  4. Thanks for this! I’m not in Minnesota and don’t follow Reusse regularly, but I love him. I know I’m in the minority, but there, I said it.
  5. Exactly why are we making up this game? I understand making up the Yankee game, but why this one?
  6. I think I discovered that if you pause it on your device, it doesn’t resume in real time. I was behind last night, but not tonight.
  7. Although I’m a huge glutton for punishment, as I’m making plans to go to Yankee Stadium for the make-up (“my friends”—mostly Yankee fans—are pushing me into this)
  8. Me, too. Although the double play was pretty. Not so much what followed.
  9. Yes, great Individuals—Gibson, Lonborg, etc. Unfortunately, my ten-year-old self blamed the Twins disappointment on the great Carl Yastrzemski, so it took a while to appreciate him. I remember my mom brought home something called “Yaz bread” and my brother and I refused to eat it.
  10. Yeah, that was amazing to see on the replay.
  11. Walk-off sacrifice fly; nice way to commemorate the 1991 team.
  12. What a pleasant night, with 1991 Twins—and with Kitty in the booth. Didn’t want to say this earlier to jinx things.
  13. Does your sister still follow the game? What about your spouses?
  14. We would go out in the street for a catch (happily, we lived on a cul-de-sac in New Jersey), but we girls had to borrow our brothers’ gloves. There was one glove that was not broken in, and no one wanted the stiff one. But when it was my turn to use it, I looked down, and it was signed, Tony Oliva. Being a brand new Twins fan, that was enough, and from then on, I always wanted that glove. Tony-O became my favorite player, and there is continued satisfaction in my good taste.
  15. I appreciate a Cave appreciation! Thanks.
  16. My older brother was a Twins fan; odd, because we lived in New Jersey. I’d be up early with him on summer mornings where he’d be studying the standings in the newspaper. I needed his explanations to questions such as “What does it mean to be 1/2 a game behind?” All that stuff really mattered that season because it was 1967: Even as a new, 10-year-old girl fan I realized that I had stumbled into the greatest pennant race in history! Sure, we were disappointed in the final-day result, but I was hooked. “What ‘til next year” became wait for 20 years—Twins and Cardinals, with a happy result. As for my brother, well, he moved to New England and became a Red Sox fan. I can’t give him too much grief because he wears a David Ortiz jersey and has a soft spot for the Twins.
  17. It was a quiet day at work, but, I forgot!! Maybe I'm not really a Twins fan...
