10:05 PM ET Liam Hendriks... "Now there's a name i haven't heard in a long time." I'm tempted to just quote Star Wars ad nauseum, but i moght not be online enough to fill a game thread with it. But roads must roll and game threads must... thread the game? And so long as i am here, i'll play bobbin. La tortuga is catching again. There is hope we can measure up, perchance even affect a play off picture, at least a little. I like the nickname, as on the small roads in central Mass, one often comes across hand painted turtle x-ing signs. There is even a turtle in El Mariachi, the movie what brought Robert Rodriguez into notice. Anyway, i hope we play good. And well. Although i confess grammar is the least of my concerns with this club. Y'all have at it! Twins Jose Berrios ( R) 1. Joe Mauer (L) 1B 2. Jorge Polanco (S) SS 3. Jake Cave (L) CF 4.
