Things to Think About:

 

1. Think about Porcello...Yeah that was fun beating Porcello last night. The degree of difficulty gets steeper after that. Here come Sanchez.

 

2. Think about Mauer... A Concussion or at least concussion like symptoms and a trip to that 7 day DL. Thee Ole Foul Tip off the Catcher's Mask was the culprit. In my opinion... Catcher is the greatest position to play. Except for that foul tip stuff.

 

3. Think about Morneau... The Reports of his Power Gone forever were greatly exaggerated it seems. Turns out he was just resting from April through July to get ready for August. Who needs Mauer and Willingham in the lineup tonight... Justin seems to be ready to carry the team. Is he getting interesting to contending clubs yet?

 

4. Think about Cabrera... He didn't do much damage yesterday. Any chance he will make it two nights in a row. Maybe we should try extra hard to keep Jackson and Hunter off the bases in front of him.

 

5. Think about Orange... It's an Orange and a Fruit. It's a good thing that an Orange isn't Blue or something because that would be real confusing. On the other hand... We could use some Blue food because I can't think of any.

Blueberries?

Some Slurpees are blue.

Blueberries?

 

They are Purple.

They are Purple.

 

They are blue when ripe.

 

From wiki:

The fruit is a berry 5–16 millimeters (0.20–0.63 in) in diameter with a flared crown at the end; they are pale greenish at first, then reddish-purple, and finally dark blue when ripe.

 

 

 

 

Before we go much further with this, perhaps we should stop and ask ourselves if we are being insensitive to the millions of Americans who are color blind.

What kind of lineup is that? A spring training one!

This is nothing. Wait until September call-ups!

The Twins aren’t unfamiliar with their players dealing with concussions, as first baseman

Justin Morneau, former outfielder Denard Span and former third baseman Corey Koskie all missed months on end due to post-concussion issues.

The club is hoping

Joe Mauer doesn’t go down the same path.

My wife is convinced I am color blind, or else that I dress in the dark. So please stop the hurtful blue language here, just in case.

And to save CTTF the trouble:

 

 

(I loves me some Tex Avery.)

Add this to the list of unique batting orders in 2013.

 

I wonder

a) how many different batting orders we save trotted out this year

b1) which batting order have we used the most

b2) how many times have we used it

 

I'll set the O/U for "b2" at 5.5

I know for me it's not color blindness but a genetic disorder that takes away fashion sense.

Thank you sir. This takes the sting out of turning 50.

Happy Birthday Idaho Pilgrim. 50 is the new 40... right?

See a doctor about that. There's pills you can take.

 

Oh, and HB, if that's what you mean.

Blue lobsters?

 

According to snopes.com they actually exist.

AShbury don't you know who's pitching tonight?

 

Hint: shake shake shake shake shake shake shake shake

Blue cheese... kind of a stretch.

The stuff in the back of my fridge. Also blue.

Francisco Liriano's $5 million option for 2014 has vested.

 

It vested after the left-hander spent 90 days on the Pirates' active roster this season. He'll have the chance to bump his 2014 salary up to $6 million and could earn an addition $2 million in performance bonus. Obviously, if he stays healthy and pitches anything like he has this season, he'll be a bargain.

Yeah, I think I kinda have to give him a chance as the avatar, just to see how KC reacts.

I wonder how often KC checks your avatar on his smartphone during games.

He doesn't need to see it. He needs to feel it.
