True story... Back in 1987... I was walking out of the players entrance at the Metrodome in the afternoon before a night game and I wasn't watching where I was going and I collided with Steve Buechele of the Rangers who was coming in and I knocked him flat to the ground. 

 

I didn't injure him but he went 0-4 that night. So Yeah... The Twins still owe me.  ... True story.

There's a 19 yr old hot single female Twins fan here looking to remain single who objects to slightly below average looking single male twins fans associating a lack of understanding about the game wi

I hope Arcia comes in as a late inning defensive replacement.

Do what I do. Just pretend he's Carlos Gomez and imagine how much butt he's going to kick in the future.. for another team, when we trade him for a guy we end up giving away for a box of balls.

To be fair, have you seen how much a box of balls costs these days?

  • Haven't read the 6 pages to this point, but wow what a dismal atmosphere in that stadium. I saw an update while watching the MLB free game of the day, a day game, and it was a night game in TB. Grim, grisly, just awful.
  • Thank the powers that be for Target Field. I remember rare forays to the Metronome on beautiful May evenings and just hating the whole experience.

 

 

Huh?  Place looks hoppin' to me.

I am noticing that the camera operators are doing their best to limit crowd shots in this game. They can't help it when they do a close up of Ervin Santana because there's a big empty bunch of seats in the background... I wonder if they have ten thousand in the stadium.

Didn't Mauer start hitting again once you dropped him from your team?

 

I think you know what you have to do regarding Sano.  

 

It was I... who killed him. 

 

I wanted him on my team for the longest time and in 2011 I reached and drafted him with the 13th pick overall. Because I knew he wouldn't be there when I drafted again at 36 and It was the only chance to get him. Passed up Carlos and Adrian Gonzalez... King Felix just to get Joe. 

 

And Joe went to hell and hasn't really come back yet. 

 

It's on me.

That sounds like an awful lot of cameras.

This is tonight. Ten thousand? I'd say 8 tops.

When the ball is fouled back out of play I almost expect to hear a crash followed by a car alarm going off. I've been to T ball games with more crowd noise.

I hope this is true

 

It actually is. 

 

I lived in Minneapolis for a month in September 1987. (Great Month to do that). I took a temp job with Dolphin Temp and my temp job was a Van Driver for the Temps. And they had the Metrodome Contract so I would drive them to the dome and go in the players entrance and sign something and leave. 

 

When I walked out the door... there was a group of autograph seekers standing outside and they were shouting at Steve Bouchele to get an autograph and I was looking at the autograph seekers and so was Buechele and we collided and he went down... I stayed on my feet.

when I coached T-ball, I liked my hitters to encorporate a leg kick.  For timing.
