ISH!

check him for sticky stuff!

create one for us

Hopefully it won't be needed today ...

what the heck was that pitch?

I don't think there is any more to unlock. I think this is just who he is

Okay ... let's have 3 more just like that

So frustrating ... this is why I'm conflicted about extending him ... just not sure he's worth what he might get on the open market and what we would have to over pay to keep him

Yep.

xfinity came back up just in time to see this! I think everyone around gave a resounding, 'Whew!'

xfinity doing its best job to keep me from watching the game ... again ... grrrrrr

Just the joy of supplying a place for your Dad jokes ...

Another game thread, another dollar. Well, not really ... I'm not paid to do this. So ... here we are ... we've won 3 games in a row! Okay, against Detroit ... still ... a win's a win, and we've had 3 in a row, with a comeback from 4-0 yesterday to Berrios on the mound today. I don't want to jinx things, but I'm hopeful we can extend that streak to one more. And a win today means ... we could tie with Detroit for 3rd in the AL Central! Woohoo! heh. And then after the game today starts the MLB draft! I don't usually do much 'research' beforehand, other than reading the articles and various discussions on TD, but I'm always excited to follow along, to learn about who the Twins draft, who these kids are, where they came from, why they were drafted, when they sign, where they begin their careers, etc. While many, many who get drafted, on all teams, not just the Twins, never make it to the top, it's still exciting to wonder about all that talent and all that potential and be hopeful of all those dreams. If you want to follow along for the next three days, check out this thread in the Minor League forum for all the latest info and discussion. I'm not sure if there will be a specific 'game day' (so to speak) thread to discuss all the takes as the draft progresses, but check into the Minor League forum and the draft mega-thread and join in. But, for now ... the lineups. TIGERS 1. Akil Baddoo (L) CF 2. Jonathan Schoop (R ) 1B 3. Robbie Grossman (S) RF 4. Miguel Cabrera (R ) DH 5. Jeimer Candelario (S) 3B 6. Harold Castro (L) 2B 7. Niko Goodrum (S) LF 8. Zack Short (R ) SS 9. Jake Rogers (R) C Wily Peralta (R ) P TWINS 1. Luis Arraez (L) LF 2. Josh Donaldson (R ) 3B 3. Trevor Larnach (L) RF 4. Nelson Cruz (R ) DH 5. Alex Kirilloff (L) 1B 6. Jorge Polanco (S) 2B 7. Max Kepler (L) CF 8. Ryan Jeffers (R ) C 9. Andrelton Simmons (R ) SS José Berríos (R ) P If you are at the game today, don't forget your sunscreen. It's sunny, warm (80s), light breeze ... ahhh ... sounds heavenly to me! Play ball! Go Twins!

So ... how did they score 2 runs on a wild pitch? That must've been some wild pitch ...

Looks like this has become a game ... at work so just picking up on gameday

I haven't been to a game yet ... maybe you could give it a try and let us know?

okay ... that was a really good half game I saw, even without the scotch

And I have a headache ... I need that scotch ... NOW! @wsnydes ... you gonna send it to me?

omg ... I have been in xfinity hell this whole time!

lol ... that reminds me of something I once said at an interview ... there was a committee of 9 people and the principal librarian of the BSO said they were going to give me some situational examples to see how I'd handle things, and jokingly said ... the principal librarian comes in and exclaims he was out of scotch ... and without missing a beat, I said, I immediately reach into my bottom drawer for the emergency stash ... everyone laughed

hmmm ... maybe this could be an activity at the next meltdown

Well ... thanks for that announcement @Brock Beauchamp ... now this is what I have going through my head ... I didn't know that was Chubby Checker ... awesome

Well, and if the bp gives you a chance, too

They've been in the minors awaiting guys being put on the IL

A lot of this stuff is new when the site updated a while ago ... so ... we've been 'playing' with stuff. It can enhance the experience ... but it can also be Ober done
