Double headers aren't that common these days are they? I just am surprised to hear anyone typing. Word processers are so much more common with their cut and paste capabilities than typewriters these days.

Rereading a favorite book, and this seemed strangely apt... "All new things are sorrow. Sit in my place, and eat sorrow." Meh, i too could be better at adapting. I imagine gameday won't let me use the classic view any more?

After 5, we have scored 5 times as many runs as them. And yet we are not leading...

Thanks. Had wondered what kind of double it was. Then i also considered the old adage about third base/out, and was satisfied with 2.

I can't complain about a double. Too bad Mauer didn't get him home. But i suppose bases are technicly clear following the third out.

Sorry if i hog the spot light, but 20 minutes to first pitch, i figure if someone else was doing it, they'd a done it? Anyhow... Spring cleaning. 1. I might get distracted from the game. I decided today was a good day to do some tidying up, where the term tidying, as usual, might be an understatement. 2. Twins seem to be on the same page. Joe Mauer is cleaning up today. Not sure which is more common, this observation or the last. 3. Monty Python made 3 movies. And the number of movies shall be 3. I personally like the Crimson Permanent Assurance. 4. The other team. Are they any good? I hope they prove a worthy challenge, so as we improve by playing them. So no knocks on them. 5. Who's there? Us vicarious folk sure do appreciate the value added experience available thorugh your first hand postings, but obviously don't let us deter ya from taking it all in.

I'll take the blame for that one... I missed the starting gun...

I can't make up my mind. Is a Santana outfield assist a nice thing?

Likewise for Sano. Now if only more Twins batters felt the same...

Things to think about. Why we can't have nice things. I don't know. Why can't we have nice things? No, really. Thinking is hard. Lets watch baseball. What a coincidence.

For those keeping track at home, we only got 2. But still that's better than it might of been. There are signs of life. Maybe today we might catch a break or 2 what alluded us yesterday. Who knows, our moderators could even get seats. Who playing again?

6-1 in the top of the 9th. 2 outs. We got this. 5 runs is nothin'!

That would be telling.

Through 4, 2 solo Homers off Santiago are the only scores.

Santiago Santana Escobar Castro. Did i get it right?

Hurray! An early game day thread. We're on the ball today!

My bad. I shouldn't have mentioned the lead.

5-2 in favor of the Twins in the 6th, if i mistake not my gameday. What else i miss?

I like making names, if you need any help. San Pablo. Is that a good name? Minimum Apples? St. Cloud Named Desire? But i suppose it is like a rite of passage, or something. It ain't the same lessin' ya do it yerself. Anyway, i be a drivin' tonight, so i guess missing the game is on the docket. Best to our players on the field!

Final score 8-4 them. We caught up a wee bit. Amoral victory. Or something.

It is possible. I confuse a lot, both things and people. Makes for a more interesting life.

We score a run! And there was much rejoicing.

In the beginning there was TwinsDaily. But the moderators were bored. So Chief said "Let there be Game Thread" and there was a game thread. And it was Good. And after many strange and bizarre evolutionary processes i won't even pretend to understand, but others are welcome to enlighten if they feel like it this arrived today... Now! Twins Pitching.

Losing 9-5... What a way to make a living.
