Welcome back to more game Thread fun!! Berrios is heading to the mound tonight. I see a 8-2 win/loss ratio after the game tonight. I'm really not sure what to say about this team right now...Hot, cold, cold, cold, drought, rain, shine. Enough of the weather examples. This team really needs to figure out who they want on their pitching staff and who they want to trade or upgrade. Is the season lost? Maybe but this team always surprises me. Stranger things have happened!

Sorry for the late post and short introduction but work got a little crazy today. It's Friday, people should be home enjoying happy hour at 4pm versus sending emails at 5:30. Who does that?......On to tonights game...

That’s not your name...

Why does my autocorrect nkt work...

Hey! A nice start for the Twins. 

Jeffers's plate appearance is a good example of why you want your first baseman to be a lefty.

 

Well, it's nice to have a good start.  Can settle back, hopefully, and enjoy.

Texas summer came early this year. The misting fans at the local watering hole I’m sitting at, and the beer are keeping me alive right now. 

Who is the color commentator tonight?

I've hit a mental wall.  Who's the color commentator on the tv broadcast, tonight?

Read that it’s Glen Perkins with Dick. Assuming you’re watching Bally Sports North. 
 

Early impressions? I’m watching the Rangers broadcast courtesy of the bar.

How is it so far? Better than other occasional fill ins like LaTroy?

Good info, fair voice.  Tends to talk alot.  But as long as we're ahead, I would even take Macho Man, Randy Savage!

This isn’t an ideal start José. Come on!

Deifnitely, talks too much.

I haven’t been as observant lately. The Abe Lincoln beard looks good on Berrios. A little patchy. I feel his pain!

I heard he's also rocking the Pee Wee Herman armpit hair.

I think he's pretty good! 

Good lord… I just watched the Astros make a mockery of Texas yesterday. 
 

Edit: 2 days ago I guess. This week flew by. 

So much for enjoying and settling back.

As long as he doesn't rock the Pee Wee Herman movie theater behavior!

What a shame the Rangers pitcher has his hair in a ponytail tonight. Let it flow!
