The Twins face Cleveland for the first time with their new moniker, and the Guardians will be missing several parts of their coaching staff. Is this a good time for the Twins to beat up on a mediocre

The "Guardians" are on the Hope Memorial Bridge near the ballpark. This is what they named the team after. Here's a pic.

Hmm ... a baseball bat made out of cast iron ... wonder what it would be like to swing that?

Norm Cash supposedly carried a 2x6 to face Bob Gibson game 1 of  the 68 world series whe Gibson fanned 17. He told the ump he couldn't hit Gibson with a bat so he'd try his luck with a bigger piece of lumber. Don't know where they would find a 2x6 at a stadium

Just now able to chime in. I was in the car for the first part of the game, listening to Cory and Dan on CCO. I've made no secret about my opinion about Gladden's inability to do play-by-play, but when Franmil Reyes was at the plate for his first AB they were talking about how he was performing this year. (He is striking out way more than just about everyone.) Gladden reviewed some of his stats and said, "He's not doing much for you other than looking good in a uniform." LOL, literally.

And how many times in your life have you actually swallowed Scotch? As for me, it's about 3 times, none of which has happened in the last 40 years or more.

And I first read "careless graduate" and not carless.  I was confused.

Good thing I've not had any of those hallucinogenens.

They should have renamed the team Spiders. That's what the locals wanted. Imagine all the cool logo's and designs they could have come up with for that. Much better than Guardians,

I don't disagree, but look what happened in 1899:

I wouldn't want my team associated in any way with that. Plus, in this day and age it was to the team's advantage to find a name with the least amount of potential copyright infringement issues, no matter how lame is the name. BTW, that's also how we end up with nicknames like Wind Surge and Mighty Mussels.
