  1. Talk of the Field of Dreams Game on Thursday…What should Twins fans root for? Maybe that the cornfield swallows up both teams?
  2. I’m the bad luck. In Detroit but not at the game. Just walked into my hotel room and turned on the TV in the bottom of the 8th. Sorry, sorry…
  3. Just saw this now! I’m delighted! I do have a tradition of watching the game for decades. I also happen to be in Denver tonight for totally unrelated reasons. Don’t think they should have moved from Atlanta, but I have to admit I’ve enjoyed the festive atmosphere. Have met a lot of Twins fans in the last three days. Justin Morneau was at the Convention Center Sunday, being interviewed and chatting up fans.
  4. Hadn’t thought of it that way…
  5. Me, too, came in late. Was paying attention to hockey. Islanders lost to Lightning. ?
  6. Bobby Randall. They raved about the way he turned the double play.
  7. I remember, too. But it means I’m even older than Chief.
  8. I was really excited about Simmons’s arrival and loved the prospect of enjoying an elite defensive shortstop out there. So yeah, it’s been a disappointment. I still have some hope things will turn around before he’s gone.
  9. Or, you could be like me and turn it off after 3 hours and before the 10 minutes...
  10. Definitely have been missing your regular presence, Chief.
  11. Sometimes I really like to face the lights-out reliever because I know the odds have to change at some point. Witness Jason Kubel’s grand slam against Mariano Rivera.
  12. Me, too, Melissa. Went to sleep in the 8th.
  13. I went to sleep in the 8th. Reminds me of the time I went to sleep in the 10th on the day the rookie Kent Hrbek made his major league debut at Yankee Stadium. It’s okay. I’ll take it!
  14. Yeah, but I really liked Mauch as a manager. I thought he brought some outside professionalism and class to the organization. He did well with Carew, too, who stopped being a “moody” player and really reached his potential.
  15. I think because Ford was talented, but his head wasn’t always in the game. He famously let the runner behind him pass him in touching the plate, and the run was lost. And Mauch was the manager, so you can imagine how that went over.
  16. Griffith would let anybody over salary. And I think Lyman had Scott Boras or someone similar as an agent.
  17. Disco # 15 Hisle #9 Rodney #29, of course Bostock # 10 Landreaux I dunno; 31 game hit streak
