They are 1-0, i see. How come?

Saturday morning cartoons have gone the way of the dodo. Now cartoons are an on demand thing you can watch late into the night, rather than something to trick you into doing the poor richard's almanack thing of getting up early even when you don't have to. And to get you to want to buy cheaply constructed plastic toys which may have tortured you long term by fostering unrealistic expectations. No matter how hard i try, i won't be able to turn into a car like an autobot. Er... sorry. I just started typing and it all came out. Anyway, enjoy the Twins game, even if you slept in a bit!

If folk haven't seen it http://twinsdaily.com/topic/49893-mike-bell-twins-bench-coach-passes-away/ RIP Mike Bell!

This sounds like an oxymoron. If they are a free agent, then they aren't signed, and how can a team trade someone who doesn't play for them? As far as players who signed as free agents... Only limitations are those written into the contract? Well, and they may have to pass through waivers if it is after the trade deadline? I think there used to be a limitation on trading drafted players within a year of signing... But i recollect that being the case a decade or so ago, and much has changed since then.

Yup, Randy s #68. And he was born in South Park!

5th to last game of spring training. There is in fact more daytime that night time on our side of the world. Breathe in the fresh air, perhaps through a mask if you aren't alone. I like to think W. in our line up stands for "i know better than to jinx us", but i could be wrong. I look forward to seeing what Kyle does from the 2 hole. And i can't help thinking of the chamber of secrets when i see this short stop in the lineup. Braves of Atlanta 0. Bryse Wilson (R ) P 1. Ender Inciarte ( L) LF 2. Ehire Adrianza ( S ) SS 3.

I wanna say he is #68? May have to double check that...

They are as much a part of thr game as anyone else. When do they become eligible for HOF?

Stop the presses. Boston gets a baserunner off of Dobnak. Via catcher's interference. And Garver comes out. Hope he's okay!

5-0 entering second bottom, courtesy of a Donaldson homer and Buxton bases clearing double. CBU.

Thanks for the details! I like the phrasing Asian language, which in context doesn't mean they have a portion of the contract written in Asian, but that there is an English section pertaining to the event an opportunity to play in Asia comes to fruition. And having watched one video on a tweet about Law, something about his demeanor reminds me of Colon. I hope we see him on the Twins mound sometime this season, though i am patient, if nothing else.

1. Enrique Hernandez (R ) DH 2. Jarren Duran ( L) CF 3. Hunter Renfroe (R ) RF 4. Rafael Devers ( L) 3B 5. Christian Vazquez (R ) C 6. Marwin Gonzalez ( S ) LF 7. Bobby Dalbec (R ) 1B 8.

Although while you are thinking about it, i offer this: As apparently it got dubbed into Hungarian by a poet laureate, and got an entire generation into poetry.

Is Happ actually injured?

Martin Perez ( L) P Incomplete intro: Hello my name is ___ I will be your ___ for this game. Pardon me while i put on some ___ as mood music. Now isn't that nice? So, what seems to be the problem?

I don't believe he is on the 40 man roster yet, so no options used to send him to a minor league team. As whosafraid said, the question is whether his deal has an opt out or not, as minor league deals to major league players often (but not always) do. Anyway, he has certainly put up the numbers. We'll see soon enough how it plays out.

My bad. Curse my pudgy fingers, i wasn't fast enough...

I just post something, and it changes, Larnach plants one in the stands (in fair territory) so we are only down 1 now.

Oh, yeah top if the 8th, down 7-5. This has been your friendly neighborhood circus boy update.

Er...No longer tied.

Tie game!

Lineups are posted pretty early, eh? Game is... March, 24 12:05pm cdt Twins: 0. Michael Pineda (R ) P 1. Max Kepler ( L) RF 2. Josh Donaldson (R ) 3B 3. Nelson Cruz (R ) DH 4.

Miles Mastrobuoni ( L) RF Which is about 4 hours from now. What can i do for 4 hours?

But which team is Kiriloff playing for?

Well... having recently caught up on many marvel movies, Spiderman didn't get to be an Avenger until Captain America quit. Just think of Kirilloff as our friendly neighborhood Spidey. Unless of course Cleveland takes their old mascot back. And don't worry. Now we can cross the river to see him play in St. Paul. Would Rooker then be Ant-man?

I am happy to have Keon in the system, and realize that not being on the 40 man means we likely will only see him in case of a 60 day injury, or a trade, as we will give the outfielders on the 40 man every chance to succeed. If i am able to roam through the Twin cities this summer, i assume getting St. Paul ticket will be easier? So i am glad they have good players there,

At least we kept it close.
