    I live in CA. It's been "my thing" since I started writing game threads a few years ago.

    That is outstanding! I'm jealous I didn't work that into the intro. But, that's why you're a mod and I'm, well, whatever I might be.

    Disclaimer: Twins Daily in no way endorses the author plugging the best baseball blog on the web in the thread opener. In fact, Twins Daily has taken the extraordinary step of reminding the author that Twins Daily is the best baseball site in the entire known universe. Thank you.

    Two things happened that caught me off guard this last Tuesday: Jack Morris choking up when talking about Devin Smeltzer And Dick Bremer mentioning Wednesday was an off day. I didn't believe I'd heard what I'd heard until I checked the schedule and reviewed the clip provided in the game wrap up on the best baseball site on the web, Twins Daily. The off-day thing I put off to Bremer being Bremer but the Morris thing, well..... As for the Twins beating Milwaukee, eh. Sort of expected it. Now, the Twins move on and play the Rays, which should be another excellent test for the Twins. With that, here are some things to think about; 1. Wednesday as an off day? Say what?2. Thursday as a game day and the start of a series? Say what?3. A Twins pitcher debuts and pitches 6 shutout innings against one of the best teams in the league? Say what?4. Twins are 9.5 games up on Cleveland in May? Say what? Pitching for the Twins: Martin Perez Pitching for the Rays: Charlie Morton 5. Play ball!

    Personally, I find no joy in gossip. Much more fun to say it right to their face and wait for a reaction.

    I'm glad the pitcher is all right, but, throwing at Astudillo's head wasn't exactly cool.

    OT but still baseball, is there anything to prevent the Twins from calling Kimbrel and saying, hey, wait until the draft and we'll pay you stupid money for your services?
  12. Blake
    Oh, darn.... Just kidding.
  13. Blake
    On it.

    Well, then, put me down as a die caster, because we've ribs on the pellet grill.

    Way to chum the thread.

    When did you start paying attention? Didn't anyone get me the memo? Oh, wait, that means I haven't been paying attention....

    Speaking of torrential downpours, I was driving through Oklahoma a couple of days ago and got caught in a rain storm that took visibility almost to zero. Had to pull over on the shoulder until the storm let up.

    Betting window remains open on the Sox error line. Over or under 2?
  22. Blake
    By the way, Mr. Smartypants, I note the Sox had an error this evening. And, don't make me pull up an old thread where I lambasted Sox fielding, and actually made a call that was pretty spot on when it came to the error made by the Sox! Figure the Sox are good for about .5 errors a game, 4 game series, 2 errors would be the line, I'll take the over.
  23. Blake
    What the heck. I'm probably overdue for a warning point as it is

    Disclaimer: For any inaccuracies in this thread, the author blames Stan, the guy in the second row 20 seats down from the dugout. If this opener is brilliant, the author blames everyone else, because the author has reached the point he's not really sure which end is up. Normally, the author knows which end is up, it's the getting the right side up that is usually the issue. Thank you. --somewhere on the East Coast of the US.

    "Red-headed step-children are mollycoddled compared to this thrashing." ----Halos Heaven game thread, last game of the series against the Angels. The above statement can be applied to multiple teams this season, with the way the Twins have been swinging the lumber. And, even better, the Twins have also had their share of close games, yet found a way to win. But, the White Sox are in town, and, as a division rival, cannot be overlooked, because things tend to be tough within the division. Witness what happened when the Twins played Detroit and split the series. Currently, the Twins own an 8 game lead over Cleveland and take on a Chicago team that, with the young talent they have, should be trending in the right direction. (I had to look twice at the division lead and it's not even the end of May.) One thing to note, though, is the White Sox continue to struggle in the field, currently ranking 29th out of 30 teams when it comes to catching the ball. Only Seattle is worse. Let's hope the above statement can be applied to the White Sox after this next series. Some things to think about: 1. Over/Under on the errors committed by the White Sox this series? 2. When does the Sox management figure out the ability to catch the ball should probably be considered when developing players? 3. Giolito shut out Houston. 4. Should be a fun series. Oh, who am I kidding? Every series this year has been fun. Pitching for the Twins: Jose Berrios Pitching for the White Sox: Reynaldo Lopez 5. Play ball! Uncle Ted even wrote a song about the Twins and where they stand with the Central Division:
