    Y'all really need to start volunteering for game threads so you don't have to read my intros twice in one week. Tonight we are playing the Yankees. Same as last night, but I'm hoping not the same as last night. Charlie Barnes is giving it a go ... he has gotten better with each outing so maybe? One can only hope. Gordon is in CF, again, and Simmons is still at SS. I'm thinking that until Buxton is back, no chance of seeing Gordon at SS, if we ever do. There is nothing more to say on that that hasn't already been said out in the forums, so I'll just leave it there. I hope we will get in all the games this weekend, but as Henri is bearing down, unless we decide to play 2 tomorrow, we may be headed back to the Bronx for a make up game in September. But let's hope that Henri steers out into the Atlantic ... but if not, all of you in the Northeast ... please take heed and be prepared. Okay ... take it from here ... Lineups: TWINS Jorge Polanco (S) 2B Luis Arraez (L) 3B Josh Donaldson (R ) DH Mitch Garver (R ) C Rob Refsnyder (R ) LF Nick Gordon (L) CF Willians Astudillo (R ) 1B Jake Cave (L) RF Andrelton Simmons (R ) SS Charlie Barnes (L) P YANKEES DJ LeMahieu (R ) 2B Aaron Judge (R ) RF Joey Gallo (L) LF Giancarlo Stanton (R ) DH Luke Voit (R ) 1B Rougned Odor (L) 3B Gary Sanchez (R ) C Andrew Velazquez (S) SS Brett Gardner (L) CF Nestor Cortes Jr (L) P The die is cast ... play ball!

    My Dad had dementia. I understand first hand your concerns.

    Before a replacement is named? That replacement is already named. And her name is Kamala Harris. But Afghanistan is a mess. We should never have gotten in there to begin with. (Thank you, Pres. Bush.) And we shouldn't have committed more to it. (Thank you, Pres. Obama.) And we shouldn't have let a buffoon sabotage peace talks and retreat with the Taliban making today's situation worse. (Thank you, Pres. Trump.) And then poorly handling the ultimate pull-out, that was already promised and committed to by the previous administration. (Thank you, Pres. Biden.) I don't know how you blame one president for this ... and believe me, Biden deserves blame ... without blaming them all. I didn't hear his press talk today, but I heard the previous one, and I didn't have a question about his mental competency, as @Vanimal46 is claiming. It doesn't feel or sound like a repeat of the Reagan era with a sitting president engulfed in Alzheimer's as Reagan was. But then, Alzheimer's affects people differently, as does all kinds of dementia. Time will tell. I trust (waveringly and questionably but still do more than I don't) those surrounding Biden to be a bit more forthcoming than those who surrounded Reagan were (as in, they were not at all forthcoming, as Reagan shouldn't have run for a 2nd term) but we will see.

    I don't think they want him as a starter, but after last night's game, had to give innings to someone
  5. Squirrel
    Sorry ... left for a bit ... whichever you want ... just let me know which ... thanks!

    Left when it was 4-0 ... deep cleaning the kitchen seemed more appealing ... even 'angry mama'd' the microwave (and what a sexist name that is, but it's what it's called) ... now it's 6-4 ... we could still win ...
  8. Squirrel
    As penitence ... could you do Friday or Saturday for me instead? (Since I did Tuesday for you)
  9. Squirrel
    yep ... he's been suspended ... btw ... where were you on Tuesday?
  10. Squirrel
    ahh, right ... I have that as a ring tone
  11. Squirrel
    For me it's listen and not watch ... doing other things with the game on in the background

    Never saw that movie ... what was the music?

    Johann Sebastian is more my speed ...

    I could turn on the Yankees feed, but I don't think that would be better
  15. Squirrel
    I don’t know if I’ll be able to watch

    It was my understanding it was supposed to be a bp game today ... and then yesterday happened with Thorpe going barely an inning ... not sure what the plan is but I can't imagine they would be expecting Gant to do more than a couple innings? Notice the question mark, because I really have no idea
  17. Squirrel
    Stop it you two

    It's chicken dinner tonight ...
  19. Squirrel
    Why is this game day thing SO SLOW ... like watching for a pot of water to boil
  20. Squirrel
    Okay, well guess not ... lol
  21. Squirrel
    Okay ... watch Simmons hit a home run to win/end the game
  22. Squirrel
    Since Thorpe got the call today, now begs the question ... when will we see Joe Ryan on the mound for the Twins? He's scheduled to pitch on Friday for the Saints, could we see him as soon as New York? I'm thinking that he'll make his Twins debut during our next homestand. He hasn't pitched in a game since the Olympics, so the powers that be likely want him to get a game or two under his belt stateside before the leap. What do you think?
  23. Squirrel
    That's not good ... I wonder if this is the end of Lewis Thorpe with the Twins
  24. Squirrel
    Is Thorpe injured? Gameday says injury delay and that they changed pitchers
  25. Squirrel
    I thought I'd read somewhere that they were the first to really tap that area of the world? Or maybe I'm making stuff up in my head, which happens
