Mr. Ober has this. No need to watch.

Mr. Kirilloff will clean up, as he is in the position to do so.

I keep wanting to give a rousing welcome back to Mr. Buxton, but alas, it was not to be.

However i can still do so for Mr.Arraez! Welcome back Mr. Arraez, and may your bat meet the ball with authority, and avoid others' gloves. Contrariwise may the ball find your glove quickly and happily.

Alas, today i am not clever. I think on the whole, the worse my intro writinggoes, the more likely the win.

(April was just cruel to me... Teaching me to respect Tom Stoppard's R&G are dead) 

Well have at it! I shall listen to the game, and check the thread as i may, but not much. Take care of this game for me!

Well lets see...left handed starting pitcher, Seattle with a chance to get back to .500, Sano in the lineup again...Ohh, and still no Buxton, hmmm...

Did anyone notice Detroit in their last 35 games is 20-15?

Thanks for your dedication @sampleSizeOfOne!!!

 

In a season of lows, getting swept by the Mariners might be the lowest point yet.

The RISPing starts early !! ?

Lead off double by Polanco, we win! Oh, wait . . . 

Now we just need Bailey Ober to pitch a compete game shutout

What's this, a hit with a RISP.....

Wait a minute, 2 guys up, 2 hits, and we score a run without a homerun. Nah.

3-4 with RISP and 2 runs, "It's a Christmas miracle"....

Sano.

Why strikeout when a double-play will do the job.  

good evening.  another evening of spirited conversation while watching our beloved Twins!

We have a 2 run lead . . . we're speechless.

So, the other night, Mrs Chief and I were lying on bed, and the neighbors dog was just making it impossible to go to sleep. Just constant barking.

Finally Mrs Chief looked at me and said "that's it. I've had enough of this."

She got out of bed, threw on her note coat, and stormed off out of the bedroom. And down the stairs.

I heard her open the door...but the dog never stopped barking. In fact, if anything, it got louder. 

Finally Mrs Chief came back and got into bed. 

"Honey," I said gently "I can still hear the dog."

"I moved him to our backyard," she said with more than  little satisfaction. "Let's see how THEY like it."

The tall man shows how to get the job done in the first inning!  Nice to see a 1-2-3

Chief, what kind of dog?

Hahahahaha.

Needs more mustard.

2 runs is not to be sneazed at.

Relish it while you can.

I like Gordon in CF over Celestino.

A little warm in Tucson today.  Hit around 111 degrees where I live.  My house painter started at 5 am, threw  in the towel around 8:30 am.  His crew couldn't continue.  I called them 'Twins" and sent them home to rest and recuperate.

Oh boy, Donaldson’s out and the turtle is going to attempt 3B again.

Pretty sure the rules forbid that. 

Last night I saw Chargois in the game.   Was he a Minnesota Twins several years ago, wasn’t he?

Hey!

The high point of the season was the first inning of the first game, when Donaldson hit a double to the gap, the two seconds between the video of the ball rolling to the wall and the camera showing Donaldson grimacing in pain running to second 

@Giles Ferrell

Donaldson’s right calf strikes again. Perfect timing, really. Who wanted to make trades in July anyway?
