Probably not exactly the right place to put this -- but technically they are ex-Twins - Mauer and Morneau look like they could still fit into their old uniforms. RandBall on Twitter: "M&M boys. Just like old times https://t.co/aqxJpnlqsL" / Twitter I think some of these retirees could possibly compete to get on the current Twins' roster. I need to check my spam folder to see if that is where evite went. Mauer and Friends Kids Classic | Minnesota Twins (mlb.com) [Apologies if this has been posted somewhere - I needed to do something to take my mind off the current game....)

That last inning seemed to be a bit more dramatic than necessary.

I am not sure that guy would be able to handle a game thread. He would end up in a straight jacket. I have noticed there is not a lot of quinoa discussion on these threads.

He thinks he is pitching to Joe Mauer? (full disclosure - I liked Mauer, but understand the frustration).

It has led to some really awkward moments during the holiday meals.

I have a vague memory of my brother maybe not so accidentally breaking the arm off of my sister's knock-off Barbie, and I think her name was Midge.

I noticed how hardly any of the players have a Doris Day song as their walk up music anymore.

There is a non-zero chance that could happen.

Hopefully when Berrios pitches against Baltimore in the play-offs he will be sharper.

I feel like Chief and Son of Chief being there is inspiring them. I also feel I can go to bed now. If they lose now, I don't want to see it.

or possibly an old school Mission Impossible mask.

What happens if he sees his shadow?

Watching this season is much like looking at certain masterpieces (although we might be getting closer to rising up to the level of purgatory - going to look for the positive).

I would say Vance "Vanimal" Worley went on to bigger and better things as well, being a consistent poster on the award winning Twins Daily webpage.

I think Dan Gladden said last week if we win every series we will be back above 500 June 23th --- we are on our way. Division leaders by the All-Star Break!

I am not sure Metamucil and the related comments are the positive energy the Twins need right now.

I think all the positive energy from the thread somehow reached the team and made that hit possible.

Thinking positively, if they manage to rally and come back and win this game, it will really be a momentum shifter for the rest of the season.

YES!!! All we ever do is Win!!!!

I might just pretend that was the ninth inning and turn the radio off pretending that is the end of the game.

Was there ever any doubt?

Maybe you will wake up and discover the season has all been a dream and it is opening day;

I think this actually has some potential.

It is early yet, I am confident the Twins can score some runs and keep Oakland to one run with no more scoring for the next six innings.

I have only been half listening to much of the game due to my job not understanding that I am trying to listen to the game. Is it my imagination or have bases been left loaded more than once?
