Rain delay?  It's just a passing shower.  It came across Lake Minnetonka and was over in 5 min.  I came in from fishing to watch this.  Maybe I should head back out.  It's Muskie opener today!

Sorry, I switched to watch the ending of 'Silent Rage' and now it's raining like heck out.

 

Do something about that, Chuck.

Since the game switched over to the White Sox and Detroit does that mean the game thread moves with it?

 

I know the level of play really went up...

On radar, looks like the rain is moving through pretty fast

My apologies.  Now its Angels and Pittsburgh.  Again, the level of play just went up.

is there some awesome gate giveaway today? what could possibly explain that many people actually paying to watch this team?

They found those free tickets on the sidewalks outside Target field and in the urinals at local gas stations!

We own the Angels.

Here's a thought.  I know there are a lot of Twins fans frustrated by Mauer's big contract.  Imagine how the Angels fans feel with Pujlos.  In a dark spot in life?  Remember, someones always got it worse.

Hey!  That's plagiarism!  I posted that last night.  Still makes me laugh out loud!

Rain delay entertainment:

 

Past, present, and future walk into a bar.

 

It was tense.

I would take free tickets, in fact, I got some at work for the game on Thursday night against the Marlins. Even when the Twins are this awful I don't mind going to a couple games a year with free tickets.

pitcher: i hope the rain keeps up.

 

catcher: why?

 

pitcher: so it doesn't come down!

I'll be there too.  My sister works for the Marlins.  She said she got us some good tickets/seats.  She did say it was a little easier this year  versus other years...Can't believe she has two World Series rings.  If that club can do it occasionally in the last 15 years Twins should too.

Can anyone realistically explain why a guy who's hit .210 since last seasons All-Star break is our #3 hitter?  I can't figure out why he's even playing, when we have Polanco as an option.

They just showed fairly heavy rain at Target Field on TV, but at my house in Edina the sidewalks are dry. I hope the showers will pass soon.

Valencia, Pearce and Ortiz - three clean-up hitters given away for nil, nada and nothing, respectively.

And I'm the one who spells funny.........right.

Good.   Get 'em some Twins uniforms and let's see some baseball.

Tonkin with the great beginning.

Aggie, It's gonna be ok.  We have this game in the bag!  Twins are picking people off left and right.  HOLY COW!

Tonkin looks like a young and thin Bert B.

Geez can you throw it anymore down the middle!
