Wait, I thought we were aghast at how much Molitor has runners bunted over. Or is this part of the Twins Fan Whiplash Effect? TFWE for short.

Today is a great day. I finished putting in some plants in some terraces I built and I have country ribs on the grill smoking while I watch the Twins on Direct TV.

I don't know why, but I'm vaguely disappointed you have what you consider a "normal" life.

Afternoon? The Twins are on at 11:10 am.

I live in CA. No blackouts. Maybe I wrote incorrectly and should have said FSN. Either way, mlb.tv may very well become a thing of the past.

Due to my complete unhappiness with mlb.tv I decided to check into getting FSN 1 on Direct TV. Last year, the channel packages were unbelievably expensive. This year? $14 a month, first 3 months free. If this works, goodbye mlb.tv

Before or after the torches and pitchforks?

So, who do we blame the loss on, if things continue? I was not able to keep an eye on the game from the beginning, like I usually do, Chief was at the mall, chitown is at the game and BK claims he's 0-5 when he starts a game thread.

That weird way the Chicago catcher throws the ball back makes one question his arm strength.

Great picture, ChiTown!

Based on current trends, umm, all of them?

One part of me says "good for you" and the other part of me hates you with the heat of a thousand super novas.

Oh yeah, the Twins are in first place by half a game. What a weird turn of events this is. I'd have given odds the Twins wouldn't be 4 and 0 to start the season.

You're saying the matte helmets might look okay on another team?

Allen: Yo, Kintz Kintzler: Yes? Allen: Seen Bull Durham? Kintzler: Yessir! Many times! Allen: Remember what Crash said to Nuke? Kintzler: ??? Allen: Strikeouts are fascist!

I think Duffey would like to get back into the starting rotation. That was something else. Wow.

Most of us break wind, so, breaking 100 remarks lends a bit of class to the proceedings.

Hughes is being Hughes. Unfortunately. Fortunately for Hughes, Buxton is being Buxton.

I think our discussions are heated enough as it is. Buxton batting third, the Mauer contract, Santana versus Punto... Politics would probably by somewhat tame by comparison.

Give me some AC/DC any day, darn it! With a bit of Cheap Trick on the side!

I have to admit, that was a fun riff to write.

I'm going with Bananarama and The Bangles.

Nice when the wife and husband are on the same page. How does your wife feel about Art?

Looks like you perfectly captured the reality of deep dish pizza.

At the rate things are going, I'm going to run out of likes well before game time. Excellent job, everyone!
