Today is day three of my Twins game thread extravaganza. Since taking on the responsibility, the Twins are 2-0. Coincidence? I hope so because no way I want to write a 162 game threads. Though, I suppose the possibility of the Twins FO offering financial remuneration might be an incentive to continue. Anyway, I was taken to task about the brevity of previous posts and I protested that "brevity is the soul of wit." Of course, the response I received was a rather tacky "and you've written something funny when?" I hate it when I get a query like that where I can just hear the tone at the end of the sentence go up in pitch.
Some stuff to think about:* *not a selfie Random observations from last night: 1. Lance Lynn did pretty well. Nice to see him make the pitches when he needed to. More importantly, no walks.2. Rosario had 5 RBI's. Though, first time I've seen a player hit a double and "run" with his legs spread that far apart.3. Mauer: Walk machine.4. Umpire last night: Somewhat generous strike zone. 5. Garver looked better behind the plate. Lineups: Unfortunately, again, I won't be home in time to post lineups. Hopefully one of our mods will be kind enough to pick up the slack. However, Pitching for the Twins: Kyle Gibson. Pitching for the White Sox: James Shields
