    The Twins messed up from the beginning. He'd have contributed more to the attack if they'd given AK #47.

    Congratulations! Mrs. PDX and I will celebrate 50 years at the end of the month. We spent one day of our brief Minneapolis honeymoon at a Twins game, but I don't think her affection for sporting events matches you bride's!

    Great article!
  4. PDX Twin
    So ... the end of the inning coincided with the end of the outing?

    Far cry from Kelly's or Gardy's Twins. Bonehead fielding plays: Stupid players or just not enough training?
  6. PDX Twin
    Aren't we supposed to complain about how rusty the bullpen will be?

    Something about the words 'Willie Mays" is just magical! None of the other stars of his era or since---I can't speak for before---ever rivaled his talent at every phase of the game and his charisma, almost mystique! I cried when I read the obits yesterday and I don't cry often. Great man and the greatest ballplayer! Growing up in an American League place, the only time I ever saw him in person was at the 1965 All-Star Game, which probably had the greatest outfield ever to play in a game: Aaron, Mays, Clemente, with Frank Robinson on the bench! Being only 11, I don't remember the details of the game except that the NL won. They always did in those days because they simply had the better players. If you haven't read Arnold Hano's A Day in the Bleachers, you are missing something special. It's a brilliantly narrated story of Hano's day at Game 1 of the 1954 World Series, from waking up and heading to the Polo Grounds hoping to get a bleacher seat through a thrillingly tense game to "the catch" right below him and Dusty Rhodes's winning homerun. It's about more than Willie, but the iconic catch in centerfield is a centerpiece and, to me, represents Willie's greatness as much as any single moment. He simply did things you didn't think were possible. RIP.

    He has turned himself into a right-handed Joey Gallo. I've seen (at least) enough of this version of him.

    65 ABs that weren't DPs?
  10. PDX Twin
    I want to like this about ten times!

    Zerpa the Greek? Must be an Orthodox Angel.

    Seems the Twins were unable to mar a Lugo tonight...
  13. PDX Twin
    We are Ober-matched tonight.
  14. PDX Twin
    When the other team is batting ...

    The Twins made it to the playoffs last year because they were in a horrible division in which no one else was competitive.

    Wow! And your grandmother is how old???

    There is a Washington winery in the Yakima Valley named Gilbert. Mixed reviews ...
  19. PDX Twin
    What would they have said that would have added to the game? I often like listening with the sound off.
  20. PDX Twin
    Hernandez must be watching the broadcast today. Every call has conformed to the TV box.
  21. PDX Twin
    Agree, but the 3B coach seems to play a lot of "Minnesota Hold 'Em."
  22. PDX Twin
    Duran seems like a good pitcher,,,
  23. PDX Twin
    Got the job done. It's a save situation now.
  24. PDX Twin
    And, according to your table above, he did it all on zero pitches! Very efficient! If we could teach the starters to do that, they wouldn't need a bullpen.

    I never did competitive baseball, but refereed soccer at amateur levels for years. High school was always the worst because not only were there parent issues, but the student sections were brutal. Several times I was running up and down in front of the student section as a linesman and had to listen to the profanity, vulgarity, and even threats coming from fellow students. Several schools routinely had police escorts to our cars. And Portland is not a city that most would associate with gangs and crime.
