I think we already got the best we were gonna get from Deduno last year.

My laughing at all these posts was enough.

It wasn't that. It was that you tried to order a Molson and wondered if they had beaver tails on the snack cart.

Ish.

Booooooo!

I guess if I said I want my warm nuts I saw being prepared in the galley, would that qualify?

No. There is only one ChiTown in this country.

How has Santana looked out in the field tonight? oh great, the guy sitting next to me has already removed his shoes.

Ooou has the Hawks-Wild game started yet?

It's really a thing. Google 'Canadian beaver tail pastries'

Blecht. Isn't that a Canadian gourmet thing along with beaver tails?

JB, niece's graduation. She did her undergrad in 3 yrs, is Phi Beta Kappa, outstanding student and all around great person. Am proud of her. And hope to be able to show her if I ever get out of here

Oh, I see that now. Long day getting longer

They can't. No flight attendants they won't board you

Waiting to board a flight. Plane is here, waiting for flight crew. They won't board us until they are here. People are starting to amass in front of the door. I'm standing back so I can push my way past everyone when they call first class

aHEM

You had me at 'glorious mane.'

I know. I didn't see it, but I vaguely remember it being discussed around home.

That would actually be fun to see ... one player play all positions in a game.

Yup, like Wednesday's and Thursday's.

Geeeez ... you couldn't wait 8 minutes for me to get to it? (Thanks for the assist!)

Game-time forecast: Mostly cloudy with a 60-percent chance of rain. Winds blowing in from right field at 10-15 m.p.h. Temperature around 65. Twins: SP, Hughes Dozier 2B Suzuki C Plouffe 3B Colabello 1B Kubel LF Nuñez DH Parmalee RF (Ok, ok, it's Parmelee ... I was going to leave it and watch the response) Hicks CF Santana SS Tigers: SP, Verlander Kinsler 2B Hunter RF Cabrera 1B Martinez DH Jackson CF Castellanos 3B Avila C Romine SS Davis LF -------------------- Up next ... Riverbrian ... take it away ... ---------------------------------------------- OK... But I'm only going to take it this far. Things to think about: 1. Runaway Tigers -- The Tigers are on a roll. 8-2 in their last 10 as they've opened up a 5 game lead in AL Central. The Tigers are winning at a .667 clip which is the best in all of baseball. The Tigers are starting to runaway with it. When Tigers runaway from the Zoo... Somebody needs to bring a tranquilizer gun. If Someone did bring one... Somebody shoot Miggy. 2. Days of the New -- I've finally found a reason... I don't need an excuse... Rosters don't turn over that quickly but the turnover from last year to this year is quite noticeable. A new manager in Ausmus... Fielder traded for Kinsler... Fister traded for a rookie named Ray and bullpen guy named Krol. Nathan added to the closer role and Smyly moved from the pen to the rotation and a rookie 3B. Add it all up... On paper... They should be doing worse but they are doing better... Go Figure... those games just ain't played on paper. 3. The Rubber band Theory -- That thing is certainly going to be tested this weekend. After dropping 3 in a row to the Indians... The Rubber band has stretched to 3 below and now they face the surging Tigers on the road with Verlander and Scherzer looming on the mound. Here's the deal... The rubberband could stretch to 5 games and snap back with a killer winning streak... or... The injuries... light bench and cooled down hitters have snapped that thing and the corner has turned on the season and turned for the bad. Once the Rubber band is snapped... The Theory is gone and it's everybody for himself. I'm hoping the rubber band still has some use. 4. Twins Roster -- I can't keep up... Who is on the 25 man today??? I don't know... I'll need Bremer to tell me. Hopefully he speaks slowly and clearly. 5. NFL Draft -- The Vikings got tricky once again... Trading down and getting the guy they say they wanted anyway and then trading up to get the guy they say they wanted anyway... I hope Barr works out... he sure seems like an athlete... At QB... Teddy Bridgewater at one time was considered to be the #1 choice overall... Then he started to slip and then he tested poor at the combines and he plummeted. Well he's our new franchise QB now... He's the guy... I sure hope it works... I'm not worried about how he tested at the "Combines". Or how he tested at the "Tractors"... Farming ability should have nothing to do with playing football.

Ooops ... thought the game was at 12:05 CT (1:05 ET) ... thanks Ash for posting the lineups. Just got home from the gym.

Just home from work. Where's the party?
