Bases loaded, this time with 2 outs. Psst... Molitor. Ever call a triple steal?

A Buxton double? Or just an ordinary double?

So ... Our pitchers have thrown up 5 donuts in 5 innings. Can't complain about that, can i?

A Texas leaguer? In Texas, no less? Cheeky! I approve.

Yeay! 1 run! Progress!

We waited until 1 out to load the bases. They don't know what is coming...

Granite with his first Major League hit earlier tonight? How nice! What i miss? How'd it go down?

Based loaded, no outs. If there is one thing i have learned from following the Twins... We got 'em right where we want 'em.

Okay. I am fed and settling for a long summer's night. I'm following this game until the end!

Drat. I missed it. Any chance Houston will commit one too?

Will i get a budget to seek professional help writing game thread intros? I think 5 chief style jokes should suffice, but they sound open to negotiation... (I got a sneaking suspicion my pro might be a con...)

And for the other side... 1. George Springer ( R) CF 2. Jose Altuve ( R) 2B 3. Josh Reddick (L) RF 4. Carlos Correa ( R) SS 5. Brian McCann (L) C 6. Carlos Beltran (S) DH 7. Yuli Gurriel ( R) 1B 8. Marwin Gonzalez (S) LF 9. Alex Bregman ( R) 3B

Indeed. We are going to catch the Rankees, right?

I can only sympathize with Mr. Mauer on the clog issue. It probably has painful bilateral associations.

Me too... Any recommendations? I just want to not have to think about anything more than removing or adorning them for the next 2 years/200 miles, whichever comes first.

Will catch upon the game thread eventually. Got intro in just before i left connectivity. Wireless is not yet everywhere...

Shouldn't it be the Non-All-Star break? If it is broke, how should we fix it? Granite! Get the jokes out of your system now. You'l need them when that one pitcher gets called up. Better done, than done well... Baltimore Orioles: P. Ubaldo Jimenez (R ) 1. Seth Smith (L) RF 2. Manny Machado ( R) 3B 3. Jonathan Schoop ( R) 2B 4. Adam Jones (R ) CF 5. Mark Trumbo ( R) DH 6. Trey Mancini ( R) 1B 7. Hyun Soo Kim (L) LF 8. Caleb Joseph (R ) C 9. Ruben Tejada ( R) SS Minnesota Twins: P. Kyle Gibson (R ) 1. Brian Dozier ( R) 2B 2. Robbie Grossman (S) DH 3. Max Kepler (L) RF 4. Miguel Sano ( R) 3B 5. Jason Castro (L) C 6. Kennys Vargas (S) 1B 7. Eddie Rosario (L) LF 8. Jorge Polanco (S) SS 9. Zack Granite (L) CF 83F Partly cloudy

I must remember 1. for future use... At this point in my life, i'm a ninja snooze button pusher.

Wow. A Schedule. You are far more organized than i...

Only ebcause nothing was hit my way. And looks like the free game cheated me of the final out.... I blame the 7 second delay in broadcast since the superbowl incident. Mutter mutrer.

Hmmmm... Nap time over. What i miss?

Better start than yesterday. Leastwise the top half of the first inning.

Whatcha know. MLB's free game of the day.

Most probably. Perhaps they are being framed?

In the fine art of being ambiguous, that was kinda what i was driving at. Who's motto by the way is "Live free or die" But if someone actually answered that Zach had arrived at Target Field and was shagging flies, available off the bench. Well, that would have been both helpful and a perfectly valid response. So strictly speaking. Yes. that was helpful. It reduced the need for and increased the ease of explaining myself. It is a good talent and requires practice despite its discouragement as regards humour.
