Lottery number don't go that high....

So, 7 dot 5, the dot being the decimal place, decimal being tenths, so, 10. Okay, we've got 7 10 and 5. What are the rest?

What snepp said.

Yeah, I often shrug and say, "That's Rosario."

Cave schmave. Mauer power, baby!

You know, just as Mauer was settling in, I thought to myself, "It's not winning baseball when the leadoff hitter is making his third plate appearance in the third inning."

Saw that one coming.

I'm going out a limb here and make a prediction:* The Twins get to .500 about the time the trade deadline hits. Because the team did so badly before the trade deadline, the value of various players has taken a hit,, to the point the FO doesn't really do much at the deadline. Twins wind up winning the division. *If you're a betting person, bet against me, because my track record of predictions is spotty, at best.

Interestingly enough, I believe my son ran into Carville and said he's actually, in person, a very pleasant person.

Aaaannnnnddd we're off!

Yeah, and you've been some places you'd never have gone to but, because of work, you had to.

Apple, tree, some assembly.

And the "Getting to Know You" thread has now degenerated into a baseball thread.

You win! You got the "Keys to the Game" correct! And, do you know what you've won? That's right! A chance to do a game thread at the trade deadline!* *Winnings are not transferable. Cash value is -$10.00. Offer valid in all 50 states.

Coolio, I get to retire...until the next KC series..or perhaps White Sox, whichever comes first. Either way, should be around the trade deadline, which should be fun.

Yep.

Wilson came through with the key hits again? What, has he been saving them?

Yes. Not sure you should count me as one of them, though.

Butera has a hit? Unreal.

You're more than welcome. Though, I still don't know how RB did it. Though, by the end of the season, I may be in the same boat as RB!

Have to admit, it's pretty funny to see the "Keys to the Game" destroyed in the first inning.

Perez may play for the opposing team, but, as a player, I really like him. But, darn him!
