Made an alteration on that list of yours.

I check a couple of different places for lineups. Here are a few of them: http://mlbstartingnine.com/ http://www.baseballpress.com/lineups http://www.rotowire.com/baseball/daily_lineups.htm I like the Baseball Press one best. I also check the Twins website, too, but I usually find it in those other places first.

Well, if the game is rained out this afternoon, you can go and watch the Miracle practice this afternoon!

I helped you out with that, so the lineups are above, too.

Yup, you summed it up nicely. Thanks.

I think so, too. And frustrated equally. We all just have a different ways of expression. What Chief said above, so true. Thanks, Chief. Sometimes each of us needs to just take a step back and take a deep breath and exhale and realize this is just a game. We are all here because we love baseball. Maybe give the other poster a little leeway once in a while and realize that wanting to win is something we all have in common along with the love of the sport. No one here is trying to squelch opinion. Opinions, discussion, disagreement, frustration and passion ... they are all part and parcel of what sites like this are about. And everyone's opinions, no matter what 'side' they fall on, are valid here. But take note ... someone will disagree with you. I don't care how right you think you are, I don't even care how much 'fact' is on your side, someone will disagree with you and their point is as valid as yours. Debate away. That's what it's all about. But please don't get offended or defensive; or feel the need to hammer away at your point on and on and on and on trying to convince someone how wrong they are. Mostly, take a breath, and just think before you hit 'post.' Chances are the other poster wasn't trying to offend you or won't ever agree with you. So give a little from time to time and just let go and walk away when you hit an impasse. Or agree to disagree before things get too far out of hand. A little respect goes a long way, too. I've been seeing some wording around the forums lately that is not helpful ... garbage, trash, stupid, clown ass, idiot, etc. Be mindful of how you are using your words. If you think how you are using those words towards someone else ... FO, players, other posters ... would be disrespectful if used towards you, find better words that are not going to inflame or attack. Also, please, try to stay on topic. There are peripherals in any discussion, and are pertinent, to some extent, to mention. But try to keep focused on the main topic and not the peripherals. Discussing the FO is an easy peripheral to almost every topic, but try not to let threads all end in the same place. Lastly ... losing sucks. But we are all in it together. I hope every day for a win ... and when I get one, I'm happy. And when I don't, I hope tomorrow is different.

Today. It's up. In the Twins forum.

This will be a tough decision for me ... trek out to Geneva, IL on Saturday to see the Kernels, or ride 2 stops on the red line to the Cell to see the Twins ... hmmm ...

I've removed three posts from this thread. If I have to remove any more I will close this thread. We are all frustrated but let's keep it civil.

I didn't have any issues today. Sometimes it's one of those things that comes and goes.

It was probably karaoke …

Well, if Grosse Pointe counts … I disagree http://maraisrestaurant.com

Please, let's not go down this path and get side-tracked. That's what the sports bar is for. Have at it there.

Reality is in the eye of the beholder.

I think some posters are just trying to examine all sides of this, exploring every possibility despite the probability, or improbability. I don't think this necessarily means they are defending anything, just trying to sort through everything.

Here endeth MLB Spring Training.

Some people just have difficulty parting with the past. I feel sorry for you.

Hmm ... I have a decision to make ... Twins are in town the same weekend the Kernels are close, playing the Kane Co. Cougars ...

I like the red, but I don't like the underarm patch of color. Makes it look like they're sweating a lot.

Sigh. And look who's up ...

What the hell was that? Did someone miss a sign???

And the Twins are on the board!

And double crap ... Santana would've scored on that Mauer double.

Well, crap ... Santana picked off; 2 outs now; no one on.
