Wonder if I should bring my 'Dunk City' tshirt with me. I see their game is delayed. How does a basketball game get delayed?

We'll just miss each other ... I'm going to the Keys 21-23 then home on the 24th.

oh man ... I do not want to be reminded of how fun it was to watch Revere run in the outfield.

Hmm ... maybe one of the games I get to I'll sit out there on the berm in LF and have a huge sign that says 'A shout out to Twins Daily' (or get Halsey to do that)

Yeah ... but maybe despite the count, he did what he wanted to do? I never know about these things.

Brian, those payments will end with infinity.

When I'm set up with the snowbird routine, I'll get something fun and snazzy. Ooou ... nice to have such a tall 1st baseman!

I'm kind of reaching the point where I just don't want to climb in and out of a little car anymore, let alone driving a manual in Chicago traffic, which I don't have to do every day, thankfully. But 4 1/2 yrs on a car is not long enough yet to think about another one. I like having no payments and am hoping to like that for another 8-10 yrs.

So, have an old life crisis and buy another one? Or go with something like ... a Mini convertible ... such a fun car to drive.

Yeah. Looked like he had it. But I guess it's ST for the umps, too.

Heading to Fort Myers. And leaving from Midway. Rented a convertible. ooou yeah

Check the minor league forum ... it was written up there.

Well, now you know to look for sunburned head covered with a Miracle cap. I'm heading down this evening. Not sure when I'll make it over to the park, but for sure on Thursday when I take my parents to the game. Hopefully we'll still be able to manage the handicap parking or that could take some doing.

Popping in to catch an inning or two before I have to leave for the airport.

Ish. Yes, I know that's off topic.

Heh ... I remember that ... http://m.mlb.com/video/v8347297/nyymin-a-squirrel-disrupts-play-in-the-fourth

yes, I also find this concerning.

Yeah ... I was like 'Wait ... do I have the right game?' 'Oh yeah ...' I like them, though.

Yeah. Glad I am unable to listen.

There is also a 'B' game this morning, also up in Bradenton, but this is for the regular Grapefruit League game. Correia is pitching in the 'B' game (followed by Meyer and Pino). Twins: Presley, CF Dozier, 2B Mauer, 1B Willingham, DH Plouffe, 3B Ramirez, RF Mastroianni, LF Suzuki, C Bartlett, SS Worley, SP (then Gibson, Gilmartin, Hoffman, Johnson and Pressly) Pirates: Marte, LF Martin, C McCutchen, CF Alvarez, 3B Walker, 2B Snider, DH Mercer, SS Lambo, 1B Decker, RF Rodriguez, SP I'd say 'And let the chatter begin' except it's just way too early for that; at least for me. If there are any tweaks to either team's lineups, I'll edit closer to game time.

What you want is an Avatar. So go to 'Settings,' then click 'Edit Avatar' and upload the photo there. That is the one that is seen on your posts.

Used for lack of a better one ...

I remember sitting in the rain last year waiting for the call before the game started; it came after we decided we'd had enough and left. It was pretty weird, though, as the gift shop pulled out boxes of rain ponchos to sell. They were white. And when you looked across the stadium with people wearing these, with pointy white hoods, yeah, looked really eerie.

My parents and I sat for a while last year, in the rain (we came prepared), before they called it. Might be a while ...
