Cruz SMASH!

1. That double play by Sano and Adrianza was huge. 2. Polanco need a trip to the IL? 3. Perez perhaps tipping his pitches?

I was sitting here, in deep contemplation, trying to solve exactly what direction I was going to take this game thread. I was a bit lost and directionless, as per usual. Funny thing, I seem to recall my parents saying much the same to me through the first 5 or so formative decades of my life. But not to fear, somehow, I will soldier on and find a way to work baseball into the thread opener. *Is it dusty in here or is it just me? Because I figure we need a regular dust tornado on TD..... So, now that I've worked baseball into the baseball thread, maybe I should discuss the upcoming series? ...............Nah. KC is in town and the Twins should beat them. Not much to really discuss, is there? And now, for some topics worthy of deep introspection: 1. Most quotable movies: "The Princess Bride," "Monty Python and the Holy Grail," or "Caddy Shack?" 2. Most quotable sports figure: Muhammad Ali or Yogi Berra? 3. Most quotable cartoon: Bugs Bunny or Road Runner? 4. Most quotable writer: Douglas Adams or Dorothy Parker? Pitching for the Twins: Martin Perez Pitching for KC: Glenn Sparkman 5. Play ball!

Worth repeating.

Crud.

Okay, Bomba squad to the rescue!

Wow.

Keeps him from overthinking things?

And that's just the bums on the street! Bada bum, tish...

Watching Romo spot the ball high and away on the corner then come back and catch the low inside corner is something else.

Way to gut it out, Mr. Duffey.

Conley, you had ONE job to do!

looking at Granderson's batting average makes me wonder why he's still in the league. I thought he retired a while ago.

Kepler!

Plesac has given up 4 runs in 5 innings of work. Not a good sign. Okay, not good for Cleveland, good for the Twins. I'll take "comment that didn't age well for $1,000, Alex."

Angst? Gone.

So do the rest of us. But, the person who did that stuff has hung up his keyboard and no longer "in the game." Sad, in a way.

Just think, the preceding FO probably would have offered him a contract.

I truly look forward to your trade deadline game thread openers because they're always a hoot. Again, well done!

Well, done, Van! This is for you in recognition of a job well done:
