Split squad day, it would seem. Line ups to follow, but a cursory glance at scores says we are ahead in both of them. Today is a good day!

Yes. Left as exercise to optimist. (One assumes the pessimist does not need the practice.) And really the only justification for my response is to see a second page in this thread...

I guess not. final score seems to be 2 nil not in favor of the Twins. Could be worse.

Was there power? Suspense is palatable...

At least it isn't snow... The hyphen begs the question (at least to my peculiar sensibilities) what would pre-poned mean? "We can't do that thing then for some reason, so we will do it earlier?" Does this happen? Is it common enough in some context that it could be used? If so, do they have an alternative word already? Or does it just fall under the umbrella of the term "rescheduled?" Sorry about that. Don't mind me. Carry on.

Yup.

They wasn't done. 3-1 Minnesota. And now in the 3rd. My apologies if i wander off to other thngs...

My bad. Gameday say Porcello pitcheth. And the Twins done got the run back, tying it in the top of the second.

Twins have right hand pticher Tyler Duffey on the almond joy... i mean mound. 1. Brian Dozier ® 2B 2. Danny Santana (S) CF 3. Joe Mauer (L) 1B 4. Trevor Plouffe ® 3B 5. Oswaldo Arcia (L) RF 6. John Hicks ® C 7. Eduardo Escobar (S) SS 8. John Ryan Murphy ® DH 9. Ryan Sweeney (L) LF Red Sox pitcher is the left hander Roenis Elias 1. Mookie Betts ® RF 2. Dustin Pedroia ® 2B 3. Xander Bogaerts ® SS 4. David Ortiz (L) DH 5. Hanley Ramirez ® 1B 6. Travis Shaw (L) 3B 7. David Murphy (L) LF 8. Andrew Benintendi (L) CF 9. Christian Vazquez ® C And bean town crew is making life interesting by scoring a run in the first.

Thanks. But... we'll win eventually, right?

Did we win yet?

I would like to point out that most of the US is north of Florida. Not due north, perhaps, but...

I got a soft spot in my stomach for taco johns... Don't know why, but i do.

Dozier dinger. 3-1

Thanks for the first hand account. Maybe he'll recognize the cutoff next time.

Which one?

Is that how it went down? I kinda figured he pulled the get caught off the base so the run can scamper in from 3rd... But hard to distinguish between the two in gamday.

Am glad to be of use, when i can be. Sadly i am not always so... 2-1 after 1. Gibson gives up a leadoff dinger, and Mauer/Sano/Plouffe got his back... Exciting game, eh?

tba is short for... 1. Mookie Betts ® RF 2. Dustin Pedroia ® 2B 3. David Murphy (L) DH 4. Xander Bogaerts ® SS 5. Hanley Ramirez ® 1B 6. Pablo Sandoval (S) 3B 7. Chris Young ® LF 8. Blake Swihart (S) C 9. Jackie Bradley Jr. (L) CF apparently. Very convenient three letter acronym, that.

Yeah, i thought they were a shoe-in following the Maryland upset. At least with Paul Bunyan's shoehorn. Hopefully they will fare better on the path to the frozen four? At least they got a bowl game.

This is not cricket. If it were, Nolasco would be bowling, i think.

An't argue with that. The twins have taken the lead.

In play, runs. That's good, right?

So... 6-5 is the final? Oh well. Tomorrow is another day.

Halfway through the 7th and the Marlins have reclaimed the lead, 5-4. Time to rally once again!
