Let’s remember some Bert-isms. Dick: “Today is national left handed day. And in honor of that, I’ve done everything today with my left hand.” Bert: “...everything?” Dick: “So did you ever run out of gas while on the mound?” Bert: “Oh I always had gas. My problem is that I never ran out.” Dick: “One of your nicknames was Dr. Hook. Was that because of your curveball!” Bert: “Probably...unless they saw me in the shower.” Dick: “Never have I wanted a Twins player to hit into an inning ending double play more than I do now.”

What a brain fart by Sano.

Dobnak’s ERA went from 0.87 to 1.31 on one pitch.

Yelich doesn’t catch Cave’s double even if he saw it off the bat. But Sano certainly does not try to score if he had.

You know Buxton is thinking “This is what happens when I hesitate.”

I don’t wanna brag, but 6-2 putout at 1st base was on my Twingo card.

Two plate appearances in, and Kepler’s season OPS is still 5.000.

I was just asked to be on the big screen and name as many Peanuts characters I could in ten seconds. I turned it down. And I would’ve won. Oh well.

Is it a Spring Training game? I just saw a #74 on the field.

Next 13 games are against the Tigers and White Sox, teams that are actively trying to lose. I don’t know about your expectations, but I feel it would be a disappointment if we didn’t go at least 9-4 over those 13 games.

10-2 lead in the 6th tonight: Nice and relaxed and can probably go to bed in a half hour. 10-2 lead in the 6th against the Yankees: Can’t sit still, this game is far from over! Need another beer!

The obstruction call on Schoop was crap. The runner went out of the baseline to make contact with him. He doesn’t have the right to do that.

Last night could be one of those season defining losses if the team allows it to happen. We’ve seen it before with other teams. Remember Thome’s walk off against the White Sox in 2010? That happened on August 8th? The White Sox may not of lost the division that day, but we all know that emotionally they did. It was all over for them after that. We can’t let that happen here.

I dunno about you, but I’m really pissed off right now after all that.

Okay, that’s just gross. https://i.imgtc.ws/354F4cw.jpg

I don’t exactly know what Cabrera said, but the way he was getting the umpire’s attention, he can’t be surprised at all that he was tossed.

Somewhere near St. Cloud, some jackass sporting a mullet and a Megadeth t-shirt is telling everyone he knows that this is all solely because Joe Mauer is no longer on the team.

In other unsustainable trends, the Tigers have 13 wins so far, 12 of them successfully closed out by Shane Greene.

Two games into the season and I’m already mad. Besides the obvious wild pitches, I was screaming “BUNT!” at my radio to Kepler. I can’t believe you wouldn’t try to sacrifice Buxton, the fastest guy in baseball, over to 3rd.

I just want to say that the drunk guy in section 120 could tell what Pérez was throwing based on the speed of his windup. What prize do I get?

Bruno Mars’ “That’s what I like” is C.J. Cron’s walkup song. Okay then.

My coworkers are wondering why I'm laughing so hard at my desk. https://www.si.com/mlb/2019/03/27/minnesota-twins-season-preview Name the guy (or guys) on this teams that you would never want in your clubhouse. Sanó. He’s always hurt and he’s always fat.

The contract kind of bugs me. It’s just so much for a guy who outside his MVP season hasn’t been overly amazing. I see Harper as a consistently very good player with stretches of greatness. That kind of contrast should be reserved for someone who is at minimum a consistently great player with stretches of being historically great. I don’t see him breaking down and being a walking corpse like Miguel Cabrera will be for the next five years. So Philly should get a lot more value out of him. Of course, one injury can change that. I dunno. It just doesn’t sit well with me. Hope he proves me wrong for the next 13 years.

By the time that contract is done, the Mets will still be paying Bobby Bonilla.

If Harold Baines is the new bar that needs to be reached, then I can’t wait for Joe Mauer’s hall of fame speech in five years.
