Time for Mr. Mauer to get a hit.

Only Dozier could get an "excuse me" opposite field hit.

Cool, another walk. I have to admit, it is awfully considerate of the Twins bullpen to give up walks. The Brewers might hurt themselves swinging the bat and running to first base.

Well, shoot. Next inning.

The old sympathy ploy, eh? Risky, very risky. And admitting twins fandom may get you more than sympathy. It might get a visit from men in white coats carrying nets.

Someone needs to point out to Dozier that the youngsters have learned to go the other way and that he needs to take the hint.

You've been keeping quiet that you're a Twins fan, haven't you?

You dumped perfectly good crayons down a heating vent? Every child knows that crayons are best with paste dipping sauce.

Didn't your mother warn you about the people you hang around with?

Wow, RB, tough crowd.

Great, I leave to do some actual work and this happens. Darn you, work!! Insult to injury: I was pulling cable in a ceiling older than I am. Uggh.

Well, shoot. Next inning.

I think the knock has been mental and not tools.

Yeah, it looked to me like Sano didn't hustle because Dozier went out to back him up. Like you, I think Sano needs to be given a chance to perform.

At least 1.2

Well, shoot. Next inning.

Sano is showing some good patience at the plate.

Go Twins!

The Twins now have a better record than Atlanta.

I think your prediction is somewhat pessimistic. Baseball is a crazy game. Twins get to .500 after going 6-1 in their next 7 games.* *as noted elsewhere, math is not my strong suit.

Because the average fan could go to a U of M game or a local high school hockey game and see better quality hockey. I was at one of the last North Star games. The chants of "Norm Sucks" were a hoot.

Sort of like OJ looking for the real killer?

strikezoid.

Toast? Blackened charcoal slab is more like it.

The joke only goes back to 1949? I thought for sure it predated Chief.
