The older daughter dropped off a pair of Saturday Night Specials for me to repair. I told her if I can't fix them I will use them for ramps to drive the vehicles unto for oil changes, etc.

 

Since you seem to be fond of the purple shoes, purple ankle boots should sley you!

I'm not going to show this to my GF or she will be on every game thread for the rest of the season. 

Hmm.. maybe not so bad...

Go Twins

 

Last time I saw a pair of purple shoes like that the guy wearing them was also wearing a purple fedora with a large white feather in the head band; asked me if I was looking for a good time. I told him I already had my Twins tickets.

In other words, you were still in the market for a good time?

Hah! Seriously, story from the sixties: A guy in an orange shirt, purple suede pants and an afro robbed a store, ran outside and disappeared into the crowd...Did I mention this robbery took place in San Francisco?

 

 

I seem to have a thing for purple shoes ...

 

This 4 game series to close out May/Open up June is suddenly a very important series. There is no margin for error. If there is any hope at salvaging this season, it rests on the Twins' shoulders the next four days. A series loss buries the Twins too far to really expect them to climb out, in all likelihood. A series win could help jumpstart the Twins who desperately need a shot in the arm. 

 

As I said yesterday, these games almost have to be treated like playoff games. Have to show up. Pressure is on. Let's hope our Twinkies are up to the task.

What a beautiful night for baseball! Hopefully the home team doesn't ruin it.

 

I'm interested to see what the attendance will be like. It's a good night for walk up sales.

Is that bust pictured of the paradoxical Zeno?

Paradoxically, no.

Wow...

 

I was also recalling Achilles repeating to himself "the 6th patriarch is Zeno".

 

I guess i have to read further to find out which he, the Tortoise, and Hofstadter were referring to...

The Eleatic he is.

Hey, what are you talking about? Plenty of talk of coverings for my barking dogs.

Hope Buxton's dogs get better soon!

Is it now worthmore?

So I am going to Minny for Fri-Sun Indians series and, like every time I travel and pay a bunch of money to see ballgames (flight, hotel, tickets), rain is forecast. In this case, for two of the three days.

Almost game time...

 

I think i will even be able to watch it!

Hanley Ramirez has 17 HR for the Indians.

 

Eddie Rosario and Brian Dozier have 17 combined.

Ominous start.

Hanley Ramirez doesn't play for the Indians, does he?

Set up for the triple play...

Well.  Biggest series of the year so far.

 

Leadoff double by Lindor.

 

 

 

Hanley Ramirez doesn't play for the Indians, does he?

 

I think he got demoted?

Hanley. Jose.

 

Senior moment...

Set up for the triple play...

A fly ball out breaks it up.

 

Oh well.

 

Double play is almost as good?
