5 things to think about before the game. Or at least to think about thinking about. 1. Home Opener. I really should have some epic music cued up (or is that queued up?) I'm sure something will suggest itself. 2. The other team. The Mariners. No, not the merry nurse. Neither the Ancient Mariner for those of you who are Coleridge fans or Iron Maiden fans. They were an expansion team in 1977 from just before St. Helens blew. Er... I haven't paid much attention of late to how they are doing nowadays... 3. Our team. The Twins. We aren't playing too badly so far. But modesty and humility are virtues. Besides, i wouldn't want to jinx us. 4. Baseball. It is a game requiring a lot of hand eye coordination, not to mention, bats, gloves, a field with bases and lines. Did i miss anything? 5. Food! I'm hungry. When do we eat? Mariners 0. Marco Gonzales ( L) P 1. Mitch Haniger (R ) RF 2. Ty France (R ) DH 3. Kyle Seager ( L) 3B 4. J. Marmolejos ( L) 1B 5. Dylan Moore (R ) 2B 6. T. Trammell ( L) CF 7. Luis Torrens (R ) C 8. Sam Haggerty ( S ) LF 9. J.P. Crawford ( L) SS Twins 0. Jose Berrios (R ) P 1. Jorge Polanco ( S ) 2B 2. Kyle Garlick (R ) LF 3. Nelson Cruz (R ) DH 4. Byron Buxton (R ) CF 5. Mitch Garver (R ) C 6. Max Kepler ( L) RF 7. Miguel Sano (R ) 1B 8. A. Simmons (R ) SS 9. Luis Arraez ( L) 3B Ps. Will add epic music as i go, but < 2 hours to game time, and i figure folk are getting antsy. And sorry for mispelling Sam's last name. And evidently i am unable to hit a spacebar on a touch screen... -
Oh right. Take out the trash...
-
And look... Only 3 hours. Now what am i going to do with the rest of the day?
-
Pitch countwise too, it seemed? He is generous that way. All you can swing at.
-
Buxton gets that.
-
Does that mean we all have to lean into the turns?
-
Well, Buxton is up again.
-
Insurance run(s), anyone?
-
Be happy.
-
We won a challenge!

He just has me confused... I suppose that makes me the someone else?
-
Thanks. I just figured it was a hard comment to run with.
-
Does Donaldson come back on the 12th? (1+10=11) What are the odds someone else goes on the IL by then? 40 man being what it is, we likely won't see Keon unless an outfielder goes on the 60 day. Or in the event of trade for non-40 man level prospects. Or we go to St. Paul.

Chief's jokes are only mostly dad...
-
The one we sign long term is more important. I am not optimistic we will sign either long term. If i chose, i'd sign Buxton all the way. But well, one less ace level pitcher just means more diving catches for Buxton. Whereas better pitching probably means fewer exciting plays, even if we are more likely to win. Good thing it isn't up to me.
-
Tomorrow... maybe the sun will come out?
-
Oh well. If this were NHL, we'd get credit for 2 overtime losses. Which would be a win after a fashion.
-
Garlick running for Cruz.
-
Yes...
-
How does his work compare with John Candy?
-
Should they name a candy bar after him? Or am i getting ahead of myself?
-
Buxton gets full credit for that one.
-
That'll do, Buxton, that'll do.
-
Alright. Only 1 run down. Buxton, you know what to do!
