    Boy Garver is just not barrelling anything up.

    Marwin - great call by Marnie!

    Tough one, as old Spanish cathedrals are a dime a dozen. Could be in Solola, maybe Xela? Doesn't look like Antigua to me - but the cobblestone street and red paintwork on the curb certainly indicates it very well could be. I think La Merced is a little brighter yellow. The church in Solola is orange, but I don't recall that detailed workmanship near the entrance.

    I hear you - I went to Antigua twice before deciding to move there permanently. Spent 5 years there. I lived up at Atitlan for a few months (Santa Cruz) but we visit a few times per year for weekends. The views there rival anything I've ever seen and it sounds like you agree! Sure as heck beats Minneapolis in January.

    Indeed he is.

    Two nice innings by Smeltz-dog.

    I used to live in Antigua, gorgeous little town up in the mountains. However, my lady's Guatemalan and she inherited a house in Villa Nueva, so we moved into this place as you can't beat the price. That said, it's kind of like inheriting a house in Youngstown or Toledo or something - if you had your choice, you might wish that house was located elsewhere. On top of that it's a real fixer-upper. Anyway, we were down here in March re-doing the kitchen and ended up stuck down here because the airport's been closed, and we're still here. Spay-neuter programs don't really exist here, every once in a while a non-profit or NGO comes down and holds a 2-3 day clinic where people take their actual pets, but not the strays. Hundreds of animals get seen to, it's a real chop-a-thon. But stray animals here are just part of the landscape - owned by no-one but fed and taken care of by members of the community who can't watch them starve.

    Agreed! It wasn't really "our cat" though - she was just some skinny street cat and we put out food for her. She hasn't ever really spent time inside the house, we have no idea where she goes most of the time. That said, we do want to spay her and the kittens (if we can catch 'em) when the time is right.

    That's two days in a row without Arraez, who Baldelli claims isn't injured. Sitting Cruz, Arraez, Donaldson, with Smeltzer on the mound? Ballsy.

    I have a 1, 2, 3 of my own. We've been stuck down in Guatemala since early March due to the airport being closed and whatnot. So we decided to start feeding our little street cat, who was so shy and skinny and we just had to help her out. Well fast forward five months and the cat had babies, and she's now finally started bringing them around our house (ie: "The Food Source"). We've been rather delighted to see them, we were certain they didn't survive out there but apparently mama cat has been hiding them and feeding them well, and now they're ready to take the next step! https://imgur.com/a/stRGIAh

    From the "Nobody Cares About Your Fantasy Team" files: I have Maeda and Rogers on my fantasy team. Not only did Rogers get the loss AND blow the save, but he cost Maeda a win. And the Twins lost. Gutted! The bright spot was that this all happened during the day while we were at work, so by bedtime I was over it. This would have been tough to swallow for fans if it were 10:00pm. Honestly this was just a "that's baseball" loss. Those three balls hit against Rogers were seeing-eye grounders. Maybe if Donaldson's at 3rd base he makes the play on that Reynolds double, being a veteran he may have guarded the line closer.

    3 out of 4 against the Pirates ain't bad.... We won one of those games we should have lost, and we lost one we should've won. I think the main problem I have was with that double to Reynolds, it seemed like the Twins should have had their 3rd baseman playing closer to the line. Were they playing for the double play there? Must have been.
  13. bighat
    Brutal.
  14. bighat
    I'd walk Polanco here but that's just me.
  15. bighat
    Oh no.....
  16. bighat
    Ouch, Kep fouled that off his shin and it looked like that really hurts. Won't be surprised to see Cave out there in his place at the bottom of the inning.
  17. bighat
    Oh YEAH!! BUXTON with the ding-dong!
  18. bighat
    Terrible strike 3 call on Avila there. Absolutely awful.
  19. bighat
    Nice catch, Max!

    Home games for the Twins have become almost impossible to watch. Don't forget, they were doing this last year also. The music is absolutely out of hand and it sounds like there are a couple of 12 year-olds on meth up there working the sound machine. How do we complain? Post a note in the Star Trib message board? Who would read it? I'm not sure who we'd even complain to....
  21. bighat
    Best record in baseball. Cubs will also be 10-2 if they can hold off KC tonight (currently up 2-1 in the 7th).
  22. bighat
    Tattoo'ed by Kep there, sheesh.
  23. bighat
    Attaboy, Bux! Nice sound coming off that bat. Maybe that'll get him going for tomorrow.
  24. bighat
    THERE's our Luis Arraez again.
  25. bighat
    Tom did a YouTube video mentioning Arraez and his low BAbip - unfortunate start for this kid. Making contact, just not getting anything to fall right now.
