Interesting is one way to put it.

Remember, the games in April don't mean as much as the games in September. Or is it "It's a long season and it's only 4 games and no team is going to win them all." On the up side, Twins pitching is holding the opposing team to 4 runs. Definitely an improvement over the start of last year. The down side? Opposing pitching is keeping the Twins under 4 runs.

I have to give KC credit. They keep coming.

Yay bullpen!!

Suzuki hit a triple? What's next, dogs and cats sleeping together? Mass hysteria?

Park went Park!!

I had fun telling some Dodger fans today the reason the Dodgers lost yesterday, after sweeping the Padres, is that the Dodgers finally played a real baseball team.

Abad's not so bad. Although, I was initially thinking "bases loaded and Morales at the plate..what could possibly go wrong?"

I would assume you're referring to KC's pen?

Win or lose, watching baseball is still a fine way to spend a Friday evening.

Sano is looking more competent in the field than at the plate.

Side note: Possibility of a rain-out in CA. Dodgers/Giants.

I prefer curmudgeon, myself. By the way, my grandsons, privately, referred to me as "Grumpa." As soon as I heard that, I started signing all of their birthday cards "Grumpa." I plan on signing their cards with that name as long as I can.

Hah, at least we have freezers now. Ageist.

My ex-wife and I did not have a refrigerator when we were first married. We put everything in an ice chest on the back porch. Did I mention we were married in November, in MN?

I had Dozier 0-567 in last nights thread. So much for that prediction.

Only on a Twins thread can we have an extended discussion about cell phone garbage. Next thing you know, it'll be about breathing through eyelids or some such. (I wonder why Susan Sarandon popped into my head when I mentioned "eyelids?") I blame RiverBrian.

As long as Sano makes the plays he's supposed to, I think he'll be fine. I'm expecting competence, not brilliance. As Sano gets more experience, I also expect a couple of runners regret trying to stretch a single.

Well, it's been a great ride. Sorry the season ended so soon. Oh, there's still 159 games to go? Well then. Play Ball!!

The Twins lose 3, so, therefore, I see a trend of 0-162. However, Joe Mauer hit a home run in 1 out of three games. Therefore, I see a trend of 53 home runs for Mr. Mauer. Also, Mr. Dozier has yet to hit, so, he's gonna go 0 for 567 for the year. Trends are awesome!

Ah, Duluth, the air-conditioned city. Where the ice mountains of spring destroy houses. What time of year you going through there again?

You could always find a reason to put them to bed early. For instance, they left a crumb of food on their plate..off to bed for not cleaning their plate. Stumbled and dropped a tissue? That's "making a mess in the just cleaned house." off to bed. Remember, creative before consistency.

You are definitely from MN. Out here,it's nachos.

I notice Mr. Hughes is actually getting called strikes. Nice change from last night.

Well, I think Bert mentioned Pressly, or maybe it was Fien, throwing 5 strikes. I thought the zone favored the home team just a bit. (you have to say that last bit in a Bob Uecker voice) But yeah, Suzuki got caught cheating on his swing, I think. Bat slows down, have to start a little early, pitcher make the hitter looks stupid.
