What if I wait too long and it turns into vinegar?

I'm a professional estimator, it's close enough.

I don't think the leftovers will last long enough to make this useful!

Definitely is. I'll need more wine though...

Garlick hurt. We really can't have even specialized nice things.

Still coming against better pitching than they've seen in the last two series.

Gray is making a rehab start up the coast in Clearwater. So far so good through 2 innings.

This inning can be a good indicator of where the bats are. If they keep adding on, I'd say that's a pretty good indicator that the bats are coming around.

More of those, Mr. Winder.

Paddack got pushed back, didn't catch the reason. Winder is stretched out, so he got the nod.

This is the correct procedure. Keep up the good work.

There ya go, rook. Your bats have given you a lead!

This version of Kepler is the good version of Kepler.

Crooked number!!!!

Fun fact on Fleming. He is not the guy who wrote the spy novels.

Good start.

We probably have a pretty good idea of what Garlick is going to be seeing.

Hello Twins fans, this is wsnydes here with the introduction for today's game thread. Today is the rubber match for the series since both teams have already won once this series. I've had the fortune opportunity to visit The Trop on a number of occasions, and I can't say enough about it. It's a great place to catch a game because...ummm...well...erm... (clears throat) well, maybe it's not such a great place to catch a game. It makes the Metrodome look like a palace. It's hard to get to. There's nothing around it. Except Ferg's, which is an experience in and of itself with cheap burgers and buckets of beer. I'd recommend that. But, back to the Trop. The best thing that can be said about the place is that tickets can be had for cheap and seating is plentiful. Not a great atmosphere to watch a game, but there is a ray petting tank in the outfield for the kiddos. Anyway, enough of my rambling. To today's matchup. Josh Winder gets his first career start for the Twins, so that's exciting! He's going up against Josh Fleming, who is 2-2 and sports a 4.50 ERA. Buxton is back roaming CF today as well, so that'll be fun! The guys not facing the aforementioned guys and fielding positions and whatnot are: For the visiting Twins CF - Buxton, Byron SS - Correa, Carlos DH - Garlick, Kyle 2B - Polanco, Jorge 3B - Urshela, Gio RF - Kepler, Max C - Sanchez, Gary LF - Celestino, Gilberto 1B - Arraez, Luis For the home Ray: 2B - Lowe, Brandon DH - Margo, Manuel LF - Arozarena, Randy RF - Lowe, Josh 1B - Ramirez, Harold SS - Walls, Taylor 3B - Paredes, Isaac CF - Phillips, Brett C - Pinto, Rene Today's weather is irrelevant being the game is played indoors! Enjoy the game and GO TWINS!

This is actually a pretty pleasant surprise. It's still early and there have been times that the defense was Yakity Sax inducing, but the defense has been better than I expected. The two Platinum Glove winners up the middle are so fun to watch up the middle.

Cane? Jokes! His jokes are the real killer!

I wouldn't make him mad, if I were you!

Is it considered to be PED related if I'm only 41?

No, it really doesn't.
