Our clubhouse is turning into a civil war tent

Sullivan approves (now it is out of copyright) but Gilbert prefers his words.

 

When William Penn sailed across the Atlantic to his new colony called Pennsylvania, a little known fact is that he brought his two favorite aunts with him from England.

 

You see, William had a penchant for sweets, and gained several stone in weight over his lifetime.  His love for sweets dated back to these two old aunts, who were well known across Pennsylvania for baking amazing and succulent pies.

 

As their talents became better known, unlike their honest nephew, the two aunts got greedy and raised the prices, up and up and up, until...

 

Soon all the folks in William's new colony were complaining about "the pie rates of Penn's aunts".

Pitchers may be the best athletes but they sure ain’t the toughest

okay maybe a bit harsh, sorry been watching a lot of hockey lately

[LVTwinsfan]

Another KC massacre brewing. I’m gonna watch Vancouver eliminate the Blues

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Alcala's got this.

 

Well, not the bunt perhaps, but the inning.

[bighat]

Ump squeezing Alcala here.

[LVTwinsfan]

Strike two!!

[Aggies7]

The royals own us and stink against literally everyone else. Can’t comprehend it

[bighat]

Things are already ugly, but we're on the brink of this thing becoming horrific.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

The greater the odds, the greater the glory.

[Aggies7]

I have to hand it to alcala, being very careful with Lopez and showing the respect a .233 hitter deserves.

[bighat]

Great job Alcala!

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Great job Alcala!

Concur.

 

That might have been worse.

How much would you guys be willing to trade for 6-7 games of Trevor Bauer? Would Brent Rooker and a PTBNL be enough?

[Aggies7]

Big strikeout of dozier, who has 6 hits this season, 5 against the twins

How much is a legitimate shot at a pennant worth?

I don't want to give up anything of value for the possibility of going a little further in playoffs that possibly won't happen.

Mlb weathered the storm of the early covid scare. Aside from a few flare ups here and there, I can’t imagine the playoffs not happening. And I also can’t imagine this pitching staff winning a pennant. Maeda is the only starter I’d trust in a playoff game. And really there isn’t a close second.

Sorry i stepped out for some cheese toast...

 

What i miss?

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Good catch on Rosario's fly to the gap.

 

I gotta say this should be Rosario's year...

 

He is number 20 in 2020 after all.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

C'mon 2 out rally number 2.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Thanks!

It was tasty.

 

And finished off my 5lb bag of shredded cheddar.

 

(Which is surprisingly hard to use for cheese toast)

This lineup right now

Too many whiffs?

[70charger]

This Alcala guy is real good

[70charger]

Sano looks good stretching at first too

[Aggies7]

Staumont looks like he should be serving coffee at a hipster place downtown. But he just throws upper 90s
