No fancy game articles for this series. I'm away from a computer for the weekend. If somebody could post the lineups for me, that'd be peachy.

Andrew Albers. You say the name and it elicits all kinds of comments from all of us regarding the state of our pitching staff to the FO then to the coaches and manager. None of them good comments. The only reason we are seeing him pitch is because of the year we are having. So frustrating. And there were groans from everyone when he was called up and then when he was slotted to start last week. But, he's done this so far: Who'da thunk it? I certainly didn't. And his start against Milwaukee, who isn't exactly a slouch team, he did ... good. But we will see what he does today because, well, it's just difficult to imagine a near-36 yr old all of a sudden beco…

Game four of the 4-game series. I'm hoping the Twins will even the score. I bought some chicken at the grocery store today, and am planning to have it for dinner tonight. But it wasn't at all because I was concluding, or even hoping for a win ... because that would be a huge jinx, and you know me about that. Or should. I'm quick to hush y'all up when one of you issues a jinx-like statement. I just wanted some chicken and hadn't fixed some in a while. Maybe, just to be on the safe side, I won't fix the chicken until tomorrow. Toi! Toi! Toi!* So, I was excited about the potential of today's game because I thought Ohtani was going to pitch. It was going to be my opening…

As we enter the final few games of this horribly disappointing 2022 season, the Twins take on the Chicago White Sox in the South Side of Chicago.

Yesterday, the game just didn't quite go the way we, as Twins fans, really wanted. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=haWRUpPw_tI *Teenage girls screaming and fainting at Mr. McCartney. Twins fans groaning and fainting as the Twins lose....okay, maybe a tad overstated. However, today is a new day of fun, frolics and angst! *Had to go with the live performance because the marketing video was a bit, shall we say, risqué? Which brings me to my point, which is, well, I have no real point to make. After all, this is just a game thread and I'm your humble host. *The future of Twins marketing? And now for something completely different: *When in do…

Posting from my new phone... if someone could post the lineups... and could a mod remove yesterdays game thread.

It's a sad day in Minnesota. After today, the Twins will be done playing the Baltimore Orioles. So far, the Twins are 5-0 vs. the Birds, with a chance to sweep the season series today. They have averaged more than four homers per game against the Baltimore pitching staff. It is tough to win six straight against anyone, but a loss today would be a disappointment.

Welcome back Twins fans to another workday game thread! I'm still dealing with emotional issues regarding this season. If you would have told me back in May we would be in this situation I would have laughed at the absurdity. Under .500 and 9 games back on September 22 is disgusting. I guess we can cheer for the younger players trying to fill in for our ailing starters. I did have an idea for next year though. Maybe we move the Twins team to Rochester, Minnesota to be closer to the Mayo Clinic. It may help with injuries, etc. Just a thought though....Would love to hear from others on what they would do next year to improve the health and durability of this team. Cle…

'The stars at night ... are big and bright ... <clap, clap, clap, clap> ... deep in the heart of Texas ...' They sing this at the 7th inning stretch in Texas. Let's hope the stars are shining big and bright tonight ... for the Twins! They could ... the clouds will be minimal. Hoping for a bounce back for Berrios tonight. Lineups: TWINS 1.

Could someone post the lineups for me? Heading to a funeral, which isn't as unlike a Twins game as one might think.

Think about the Astros... They have played some bad baseball these past two games... We may think things are bad in Minnesota but things are much worse west of Galveston. 2. Think about Bernier... In the lineup at SS again... It seems like Gardy might like this guy. 3. Think about Colabello... I think about him a lot... He has tons of power but he isn't making enough contact. At his age... he has a …

RERUN WARNING I’m pressed for time, it’s an early game and I happen to really like this game thread intro I did way back in 1918. Result: Cop-out Re-run. Maybe if we're lucky we'll have a rerun win from yesterday. Read ‘em and weep. You’re on your own from here. Lucius Quinctius Cincinnatus It’s a little known fact that Cincinnati was actually named after a Roman general, Lucius Quinctius Cincinnatus. According to legend, Cincinnatus, as he was called for long, Quint for short, had retired to his vineyard on the outskirts of Rome for a little R&R (rose˙ and roscato) with his main squeeze (get it? grapes... squeeze…
