Hogs are flying!

AJ the sieve.. Just kidding. He's a great guy.

Don't discount Cuba. It's a real up and comer.

Mauer. 10 big ones for the year! YEAH!

King Ebenezer was there too. Mean dude!

Syria works too...

Great intro Brian. Got me thinking about rare events and golf. About 30 years ago my dad was driving through Iowa on his way to a family reunion. He had some time to kill so he stopped when he saw a sign for an estate sale at an old farm house. The estate sale wasn't supposed to start for another hour but he walked in anyway. While browsing the house he overheard two old ladies talking about a golf ball. One of them said. "it looks like someone signed this golf ball". The other woman said, "who signed it"? The other woman said, "It looks like someone named Babe Ruth". The other lady replied, "wasn't he a baseball player"? The other woman said, "I think so"... So my dad walked over and said, "what are you ladies looking at". They said, "it's a golf ball signed by Babe Ruth. Wasn't he a baseball player"? My dad said, "I think so, how much do you want for it"? They said is $10 ok? He said "ok". The way my dad explained it to me, the worst thing that could happen was he would own a $10 golf ball. He gave it to me when he got home and I held onto it. Fast forward many years (through college, marriage, kids, job transfers, etc.) My wife and I were living in Philadelphia and I was cleaning out some closets. I found the golf ball and decided to find out more about it. Turns out one of the biggest Babe Ruth authenticators was about 20 minutes from my office. I decided to call him and explain what I had. He said to stop by so I did. He looked at it for about two minutes and said it was the real thing. Imagine that! The old man found a real Babe Ruth autographed golf ball. Unfortunately my dad had passed away a few years earlier. He would have gotten a good laugh about that one. Still have it today. It's worth a good amount of money but I keep it more for the memory of my dad more than anything. True story.

Chief - I got the game thread intro tomorrow night. Hopefully I won't be a one hit wonder too.

It could also be a picture of Ron Davis...Blowing the lead again. Get it?

Can you imagine how funny it would be if the Twins put up on the jumbo tron at Target Field a live feed of our posts on TD Game Thread....People would be laughing, drinking more, cheering louder, etc., etc.

LaBombo, can you put up a pic of Eddie Money please?

He needs to pack his bags and leave tonight.

Awesome post. Spewed my beer on lap top.

Eddie (i have no money) Rosario...

Relax Brian. The voodoo stuff doesn't count when your 3 runs down on a Friday night. Now if we we're down 5 runs or only 1 then I would say turn the tv off and climb into bed. Tonight (at this point) you're ok. Always ask before doing something crazy. Voodoo stuff is unpredictable and difficult to interpret.

I heard Twins Daily will pay for out of state fans flights and accommodations. Just a rumor I heard but probably true...

The real party won't get started for another inning or two. I think the Twins may 10 run these guys.

SANO!!

Remember the Macco commercials? Oh, Oh, better get Macco...Was it one c or two?...I can't remember.

This Polanco kid can play baseball.

I was thinking the same thing. Well said. Monitor needs to put on a base running clinic more frequently.

Polanco.....Wish he would've been here with us in May or June.

Deer in the headlights?

Good thing too! You could have ended up like the guy on "Breaking Bad".

Keep Duffey in one more inning? Might not be a bad idea...maybe.
