  1. I confess to asking a leading question... I hope the Twins find it so easy to take a lead.
  2. We better get it out. I don't trust the talking eyes (or grammar) of any D&D monster... (Incidentally, wikipedia tells me 'bottomness' is the new beauty.) Only a half hour 'til game time...
  3. I am the Optimistic, and will take the former on all of them, even the Twins hits over Gibson's Innings Pitched even though i expect Kyle to twirl a gem, so that's a hard call to make.
  4. By "mean", do you mean... 1. Average? 2. Base? 3. Cruel? And more importantly, should i be trying to raise it or lower it (the IQ of this thread)?
  5. Attention to detail is commendable in and of itself. (so say i, even if i'm not so good at it sometimes)
  6. You mean like a stand up routine? Joking aside, it's still early. It may not be promising at the moment, but they can still turn things around. Especially as the minors have hit the ground running, so any promotions will likely carry do their best to carry that momentum. One of those "nowhere to go but up" situations. I ain't lost the faith...
  7. Good reading whatever ya call it. To play off lookouts, i'd suggest outlook? Though i suppose that suggests a wider view than single game summaries. Chatter is good.
  8. So of Brian's different options as home openers, which best characterized this game? (if someone actually cares, go ahead and set up a poll) My initial reaction to "blue ice" was the eyes of the others in the song of fire and ice, but having not read them in several years, and not following much of the hbo series, i can't really comment usefully there on. But does anyone have dragons we can bring to tomorrow's game? No? Just a thought... Thanks to all who sweated it out.
  9. Morales with another hit? Bounced it off Arcia's glove. (and sorry i'm so slow with the previous description)
  10. Someone might have been paying closer attention than i, but... Runners on first and second, one out. Bouncer up the middle, second base side. Dozier dives and gloves it, flips directly from glove to second. Santana catches it barehanded as he comes off the bag, (throw drawing him off, but it was very close and could possibly have been overturned) and throws it in the dirt to first. Mauer doesn't catch it cleanly, but pounces on it to keep the runner at third.
  11. Are we used to players succeeding elsewhere yet? It's only a tie game.
  12. Robinson gets another start in center. He also got the start against Sale, didn't he? But Arcia is in too... I guess there is not yet an established line up versus left handed pitchers yet? Anyway, i'm looking forward to the game. I hope neither blue ice nor tornado opens target field today! Deer might be kinda cool, though.
  13. Hey, no prob! My pleasure. And sorry if my feather's got ruffled a wee bit. I didn't mind a few extra posts to get to the 1k mark. Feel free to sign me up for next games when everyone else has gone once, or something like that. In the meantime, it is nice to be off the creative hook, as it were. And if i think i'm ready for more long term commitment, i can always adopt a prospect...
  14. Loss in Chicago Thus ends the first Twins road trip. Now Target field bound! Thanks all!
  15. I think it's a clever ruse such that we don't have to face their closer at the start of the inning.
  16. You are missing one I'll take "Jeopardy subjects" for a thousand, Brain. (Will that haiku do?) I napped for a while, but the score hasn't changed. woke up briefly to see a long foul not score 3 runs. But through 7.5, Circus boy update stands at 3-1, with Sale gone, so we stand a chance?
  17. 3-1 is the Circus Boy update, courtesy of double helping of doubles from Nunez and Santana, and LaRoche dinger on the side. Is there something we're supposed to do with 1k post?
  18. Santana picks up Nunez! Halves the lead, and winds up in scoring position.
  19. 2-0 After 2 innings as Circus Boy update.
  20. It's just character building adversity. That's what it is...
  21. He'll make up for it with his bat. And the got him at home, though it'd been an easy 3rd out at first. We need a spark plug...
  22. Thanks a bunch! I's not gonna complain about bein' off the hook for a little while though. Will try not to get out of shape.
  23. Sometimes nothing can be a pretty cool hand...
  24. Yes, but i spoke too soon... A visit to the mound. After 5 straight hits, and 2 runs.
