Where are all the fans today?  Target Field is looking pretty empty.

It has something to do with the new CBA between players and management.

[USAFChief]

That'll work

[Mill1634]

Great bounceback by Polo.

[USAFChief]

Smith is living a charmed life, and I hope it lasts all season.

[CRF]

I'm keeping fingers/toes/other appendages/etc, and everything else I can scrounge up crossed, and hoping we can hang on to win this thing 4-3. 

[Mill1634]

Gio's bat hasn't been great, but he's been really, really good at third base. Much better than I expected.

The Blue Bunny commercial is incredibly annoying, so...play it back to back.

Nothing is more annoying than the car dealership QR code that seems to stay on the screen for 45 seconds.

I also love staring at the Luther Auto one...someone told me that you're supposed to scan the screen with your phone. Funny, I can't seem get it to work with my land line special.

[glunn]

Insurance runs, please!

[Sielk]

Watching AK hit right now is painful, because you know how good he could be and because it feels so unlikely right now that he will reach that ceiling with his damaged wrists. 

[CRF]

Time for one of those Flo-Surance runs!

[glunn]

Celestino doing a great job replacing Buxton today.

[Sielk]

Celly, on the other hand, is fun to watch!

Ask Chief for hi tech tips on upgrading to a flip phone.

The youngster is fitting right in with the Twins' GIDP fetish.

[CRF]

We HAVE to lead the league in dp's, and it can't even be close.
