    I was vaguely trying to recall that, as well.
  2. Longdistancetwins
    A national audience for this…😪
  3. Longdistancetwins
    No more getting beaten by former Twins, please.

    Jax’s father was an NFL player? I didn’t know that.
  5. Longdistancetwins
    Just tuned in for that!!
  6. Longdistancetwins
    I had no excuse not to watch at least part of this game: Isolating because of an extremely mild case of Covid. Why weren’t you folks doing something else and sparing yourselves the misery?
  7. Longdistancetwins
    Just tuned in with the bases loaded! Big boo boo was tuning into the audio rather than TV but not complaining.

    Had a little Phillies preview on TV last night while visiting friends in South Jersey. Glad I wasn’t able to stay for this game!! I did have the “Hey, you guys have Jake Cave?” reaction.

    I grew up in northern New Jersey where an older brother decided he would not be a Yankee fan, but be a Twins fan (I think because his first live baseball game was at Yankee Stadium against the Twins). We would both be up early in summer, and he’d be checking the standings in the newspaper and explaining things to me like what a “1/2 game behind” means—not at all obvious to ten-year old me. I followed along and then realized how much every game mattered: It was 1967 and even as a brand new fan, I was aware that I had stumbled into the still greatest pennant race in history. Of course I was disappointed in the result, losing out to Boston on the last day of the season, but, yeah, I was hooked and have remained a long distance fan. (As for the brother, decades later he moved to New England and became a Red Sox fan who still cares for the Twins). He wears a David Ortiz jersey, so there’s not much I can say…

    Oh my, how did you ever come up with that??
  11. Longdistancetwins
    Yeah, but pants just below the knees look great. Kudos to the players who brought that back.
  12. Longdistancetwins
    Just tuned in for MAT’s at bat. You’re welcome.
  13. Longdistancetwins
    Since I’m in New York, I’m aware that KC has been beating up on the New York Mets, as well.
  14. Longdistancetwins
    Thanks for the thread, Indiana.
  15. Longdistancetwins
    Still like the All-Star Game but could never get in to the Home Run Derby.
  16. Longdistancetwins
    Close. Nice job, Sonny, against some genuine All-Stars.
  17. Longdistancetwins
    Luis! No surprise.
  18. Longdistancetwins
    I think most Twins fans don’t think the trade was lopsided given our need for starting pitching. It’s the rest of baseball that may see it that way.
  19. Longdistancetwins
    And so far, nobody has said, “Luis Who?”
  20. Longdistancetwins
    Love the Royals lately.
  21. Longdistancetwins
    Oh, thanks. My audio was behind.
  22. Longdistancetwins
    STILL feel sad when I hear his songs…
  23. Longdistancetwins
    Yes, I admit, I was one of those with a fan-crush on Correa for the way he conducted himself last year. Unfortunately, it’s still possible to have leadership qualities and bad ideas—like supporting Popkins or deciding unilaterally that Buxton should DH. Yes, he can still be a leader, but he needs to hustle consistently (like running out of the box, rather than admiring his rare home runs) and be a little humble about his analytical smarts Thankfully, his D is still good. I enjoy that.
  24. Longdistancetwins
    Still have my New Jerse roots (Bergen County). We don’t have too many traffic circles in that area; good thing since I hate them. I began following the Twins from NJ as a kid in 1967!

    Wow, what did I ever miss?!? Just got home from watching a production of Hamlet in Central Park. I like this ending better.
