    Yeah, I've heard the suites are plush. I understand they will seat quite a few people, making it possible to split the cost.
  2. Blake
    Okay, YogiRiver or would that be YogiBrian? BooBooBrian?
  3. Blake
    Yes.
  4. Blake
    I stand by my initial statement.
  5. Blake
    Okay, well, that was uncharacteristic of Mauer. And now Tepesch is being discussed for tomorrow. Will the agony ever end?
  6. Blake
    If there is a 3 year DL, why not?
  7. Blake
    Kansas City is bound to win one or 4 of but there is no reason to give the games away. Put Hughes on the DL and bring up someone.
  8. Blake
    Thanks for the assist, by the way.
  9. Blake
    Ones a crusty bus station and the other is a busty crustacean.
  10. Blake
    Wilk is up. Molitor is giving up on this game.
  11. Blake
    Yeah, Hughes!
  12. Blake
    Hey! I resemble that remark!
  13. Blake
    Castro is reminding me of Laudner. Good behind the plater and throwing out runners. Any offense is a bonus.
  14. Blake
    The initial pre-game broadcast indicated FSN is broadcasting both. Nothing definitive, however.
  15. Blake
    Perez is something else.
  16. Blake
    Joe seemed to take healthier cuts at the ball during that plate appearance.
  17. Blake
    Okay, Hughes, 5 more innings like that one.
  18. Blake
    Well, what helped was the runs were given up early, allowing the Twins time to climb back in the game. Although, bottom of the ninth is leaving it a bit late....

    KC Lineup: 1. Alcides Escobar ® SS 2. Mike Moustakas (L) 3B 3. Lorenzo Cain ® CF 4. Eric Hosmer (L) 1B 5. Salvador Perez ® C 6. Jorge Bonifacio ® RF 7. Brandon Moss (L) DH 8. Whit Merrifield ® 2B 9. Alex Gordon (L) LF Pitching: Twins: Phil Hughes KC: Jake Junis. Both mlb.com and baseball press agree that it will be Hughes and Junis. We're off to a great start with this thread. Sowing confusion, grief and agony as per usual. Play Ball!?

    You mean the wife didn't appreciate the bubblegum pink stain on the couch?
  22. Blake
    I believe Mejia was supposed to pitch yesterday and his start got pushed back.
  23. Blake
    This thread is for both games of the double header. Lineups to follow. Pitchers: Game 1 MN: Phil Hughes KC: Ian Kennedy Lineups: Twins: 1. Brian Dozier ® 2B 2. Joe Mauer (L) 1B 3. Miguel Sano ® 3B 4. Max Kepler (L) RF 5. Kennys Vargas (S) DH 6. Eddie Rosario (L) LF 7. Jorge Polanco (S) SS 8. Jason Castro (L) C 9. Byron Buxton ® CF Game 2 MN: Adalberto Mejia KC: Jake Junis *mlb.com has the pitching reversed, in that Hughes and Junis are starting Game 1. I used Baseball Press for my source. **And, to completely confuse things, Baseball Press has Hughes starting both games. I say if Hughes can do it, go for it!

    After the fiasco of 10,000 and 1 Game Thread ideas, I thought I'd look for another source to crib from, I mean, another way to come up with an opener for a game thread. As luck would have it, I ran across the “Dwight Yoakam” method and decided to give it a whirl. As I was using the “Dwight Yoakam” method, (“face a white wall and beller”) My wife poked her head through the door, gave me “the eye” and asked why in the world I was making all that racket. I tried to explain and she said that while she was sure that game threads are important, she was equally sure the neighbors didn't appreciate me hollering at the top of my voice at the moon at 3am, no matter how much it might help start the creative juices flowing. She also asked why I couldn't pursue quieter forms of inspiration such as the one used by Irish poets and singers. Some people just don't appreciate creative geniuses and their methods. The Twins are doing their best to put last year in the rear view mirror. But, as the warning on those mirrors say, “Objects in the mirror are closer than they appear.” Yes, it's been a great ride and completely unexpected. But, as a fan, I don't want to count my worms before they catch fish. I'm along for the ride and just enjoying the scenery. But, as they said in “George of the Jungle,” Watch out for that treeee!” Some things to think about: 1. Why do side view mirrors exist any more on cars? Why not use cameras and heads-up display? Why ruin the profile of a perfectly good Corvette with mirrors? 2. Umpires: Never mind, let's not think about umpires. 3. Knothole days: Where have they gone? Even the Dome had knothole days. But Target field? Nope, it's “fan appreciation” day. 4. Beer sausage..smoked...mmmm... 5. Guinness. 5a. Jameson. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bnNWUUZ7cEA Play Ball!
