  1. Pro tip for those looking to take advantage of the $2 pregame brewskis: Many of the lines have you grab them from a cooler while you wait in line before checking out, so be prepared to be standing in line while holding cold cans of beer. As you might have heard, it was chilly at the game, and they frown upon you drinking your beer before you pay for it, so be prepared to come with a hand-warming solution, uh, in hand. Luckily for us, they were handing out these convenient knit beer satchels to the first 10,000 fans in attendance. A bunch of the uncultured rubes in attendance made fools of themselves by putting these satchels on their heads, but it became immediately obvious that there true value lies in the ability to use it to hold your beers while you wait in line so you don't freeze your fingers. But they're not gonna be handing those out every game, so come prepared. Or you can buy a coozie for six bucks. They're not worth three beers, but to each their own.
  2. Gray’s homer cleared the wall at its apex. That thing was a laser. If you’re gonna slog through a cold wet miserable afternoon, might as well win. Hopefully Buxton isn’t too bad
  3. Power just went out at the park. Definitely not a metaphor whatsoever
  4. Full disclosure, I thought it was implied that I was showing 5-year-old me’s thoughts, and it might not have been as clear as it was in my head
  5. Nah, pretty sure it's Monday. I know my days of the week Of course I'm being ironic - it's a game thread
  6. When I was a kid, it was always confusing to me why Good Friday was called Good Friday. Like, they killed him. How is that good? I would also get thrown off by Monday Thursday
  7. Some of the hidden value of Caratini is that because of his presence on the roster, Bell hasn't yet made an appearance in the field. So far exclusively he's been a DH. There will come a time when that's no longer true, and I think we'll have a greater appreciation of Caratini's competent 1B play at that time. Plus, I think his real value is as the bridge C between Jeffers and Tait/the next bridge to Tait, depending on his development. It's not a coincidence that he's the only new guy brought in with a guarantee for next year And if he starts to take off above expectations, he could be the inspiration of some avant-garde custom cocktails at the bars in the park. Do I want a carrot-infused martini? Probably not! But I'd give it a try anyway
  8. JFC Clemens, look who's crawling down the line Edit: Don't mean to absolve Lewis, take your time with the throw for the same reason
  9. Glad to see Taj out for the sixth. Steal innings away from the bullpen wherever you can
  10. This is a fun game. Mark Teixeira is the all-time leader in this category for me
  11. I'd like to see Martin get an opportunity to lead off against some RH pitching. I'm sure he'll take some lumps, but Kody Clemens: leadoff hitter is not a super high bar to clear
  12. Challenging a pitch in a blowout in the 8th should get you suspended
  13. This is day 1 of 15 in a row. It's either a position player or make Kent wear it on the way back to St Paul
  14. As we all know, it doesn't rain in rural areas and small towns
  15. I'm over this Eric Byrnes Car Shield commercial they've played 37 times already. Very strong "How do you do, fellow kids" energy
