I guess he didn't check in time? At least we loaded the bases.

Well. let's just stick this data point in the control group. We wish to be rigorous, no? I remember being entertained by an article critiquing the adoption of the use of parachutes due to lack of control in test cases.

Pie for breakfast. And Twins win 8-2. Now that is the Life. Must remember though... Corelation does not imply causation.

Clap on? Liriano escapes a Dozier walk and stolen base. Maybe Dozier got to greedy trying for 3rd.

Kind of like Groundhog day? Hmmm... Groundhog pie day. No i can't say that makes me happy...

Kepler is back on the field. Good to see. And that opposing pitcher seems somehow familiar... But as the game is coming fast and furious, and i... things... do... um, well the least i can do is get the thread started on the right foot... Ouch! Note to self... invest in safety shoes...

Look at me! I'm 3rd from the right. Er, i mean front. It indeed was the blurst of game threads...

Sounds like i just need to be confusing, which i do okay on without even trying. Millennium hand and plate of shrimp... dinner! We won, after all. 13-8, was it?

Please sir, may i have a question?

Go Twins! To JetBlue Park! Oh, and play good!

Thank ye kindly for the update. Meanwhile, back on the field, we apparently lost us a lead. CBu of Boston 12-5 after 9 innings. But we'll come back during the post game interviews...

Personally i hope Mr. Santana can find that BABIP magic he had at one point. Maybe he could even share it. And Spring Training is the time to quest for such things. Anyway, i said i might do things, so i am off to do them, maybe. Take good care of the game for me!

Or out right?

Don't worry. He'll make up for it with the bat. And spring training is the time to get this sort of thing out of one's system.

But two are so much alike... And hopefully they still are, though Panda has tromped on a hand.

Yes. But next time i hope Mauer can stretch it into a bouble...

Play bill! Er, i mean play ball!

Books have intros that tell ya what's so good about 'em. Problem is, of course, that it turnsout not to be so good when it isn't a surprise. If ya already know the Butler did it before ya read the first chapter, that kinda puts a damper on some of the suspense. So i encourage you to skip this intro and get right into the game thread... That said, things to high five about: Framed, i tell ya! Our pitching couldn't have improved that much, could it? Well tempered expectations are not too be discouraged, but where's the fun in that? Buxton. He fast. Faster than the verb to be. Not exactly a slouch in linguistic terms. I'll slow down and get it right this time. He is fast. Sano, Dozier, and Park have a propensity for what is commonly referred to as "the long ball" I, for one, approve of souvenirs. I have it on good authority that Kepler is the spiciest meme lord. One of those facts which, for some reason, once known, are hard to unknow, and apparently i have Jeopardy to thank for it. Can Mauer now be considered underrated? And if folk think Dozier's last year a fluke, we may yet surprise someone. Hopefully me. I like surprises. We are home. Rumor has it 76F and clear. Boston Red Sox P. Rick Porcello ( R) 1.

Victory is ours... Not that i expected anything else.

I got plenty of nothing. And nothing's plenty for me.

2017 volunteers?! Sounds like a lot. That's like, more than 10 volunteers per game this season. But if i volunteer... you'll only need 2016 more. Count me in.

So the chickens go hungry tonight. Oh well.

Sorry i ain't pulling my weight. Not like i got any A material neither.

Didn't miss much. We came across a whole Gopher village... Speaking of which, i only got a couple of hours to find a tv for the basket balls, don't i?
