    Judging by how Target Field looks, I'd say up at least a little bit...kind of towards the top of Target Center, so I can't see much into left or center, but a tremendous view of the big glove. But everything seems a bit wonky. For example, the fireworks display during the National Anthem looked really spectacular instead of just being a few paltry pops and crackles, so I'm not really trusting my judgement right now. I suppose it could be a bit of a limbo situation. Pergatory-ish, maybe. OK, fellas. Still dead. Still hoping it was worth it. Let's scrap our way into another straight number inning.

    Um, Twins? I'm kind of dead over here on this marble slab. You could maybe pick it up a little. I'd like to have my self-sacrifice be worth it.

    I like the idea of a poll, but if there's no consensus, I'll take one for the team. Tell my wife and kids I love them. Tell the Twins that I really wanted them to go 1-6. Maybe just play the end of Saving Private Ryan where Hanks tells Damon to earn it. That might be better than the 1-6 thing, which sounds a little crazy. Who would sacrifice themselves for that? This makeshift altar is chilly.

    I'll do it. I'm sure there's a makeshift altar around here somewhere. And a makeshift human.

    I think "win" is subjective. For some, it may mean that the Twins are credited with a win at the end of the game. For others, it may mean that the team is in full and good health at the end of the game. For others, it may mean that Ricky Nolasco got lost on the way to the ballpark. Me? I consider it a win when there are at least 3 Circus Boy updates in one game thread.

    Starting Pitchers (5): Ervin Santana, Kyle Gibson, Phil Hughes, Tommy Milone, Ricky Nolasco Relief Pitchers (7): Glen Perkins, Kevin Jepsen, Trevor May, Casey Fien, Fernando Abad, Ryan Pressly, Dan Runzler Catchers (2): Kurt Suzuki, John Ryan Murphy Infielders (6): Joe Mauer, Byung Ho Park, Brian Dozier, Eduardo Escobar, Trevor Plouffe, Eduardo Nunez Outfielders (4): Eddie Rosario, Miguel Sano, Byron Buxton, Oswaldo Arcia Utility (1): Danny Santana Tyler Duffey - AAA to battle for next man up when one of the starters gets injured Michael Tonkin - wherever fate takes him - traded, lost on waivers, or AAA John Hicks/Juan Centeno - AAA to start, then part of a 3-headed John/John/Juan rotation of backup catchers running back and forth between MLB and AAA with Murphy Ryan O'Rourke - AAA...which I think is kind of too bad. I think he's a good piece. I'm not sure how that all works out with the 40 man though, so maybe this is all nonsense. Edit: too many relievers

    1st day of the NCAA tourney. Nobody's paying attention to spring training today.

    My inclusion of groceries is only to highlight one person's thinking on the scale of dollars, not to make a choice between one or the other. For scale purposes. I also acknowledge that I'm cheap and also that I'm a small sample size (i.e., not everyone will think of it the same way). But if we're comparing entertainment options, spending $40 at a movie 5 times per year versus spending $200 at a baseball game 1 time per year, the movie is going to win out. Taking the kids to The Butcher and The Boar? Put that on the same line as going to a Wild game. It appears that your point is that they aren't trying to compete for my dollars because I'm not a part of their target market anymore. All I'm saying is that they're succeeding. Edit: grammar

    I love sports of just about any kind and baseball more than any, but I am also a notorious cheapskate. I just can't justify paying the prices to attend games at face-value: Family of 4 at $33 per - $132 Parking - $10 (or $15) Food - $50 (conservatively - 2 dogs, 2 brats, 2 beers, 2 sodas, 2 ice cream cones is over $50) Just that "experience" gets me to about the same price as we budget for a week of groceries. So yeah, I'd say they are pricing families out. Granted, I'm a small sample size. Not that baseball is alone in that. I don't even think about going to a Wild game, and the only Vikings games I've gone to in the last 10 years are if my name gets drawn in the raffle when my office gives away our corporate tickets. The Timberwolves product has been so bad that I wouldn't consider them either, and even less so now that they are going to non-paper tickets and artificially keeping prices high on the resale market. I used to go to 10-15 games each year. I went to 2 last year. My family didn't go in 2015 and went once in 2014. Take me out of to the ballgame!!
