  1. I met Giancarlo Esposito (the actor who played Gus on Breaking Bad) the other day. Had a small chat in an elevator about the dog I was walking.

        1. season 6 is going to be streamed on Yahoo!, who apparently have a tv service

  2. Byron Buxton ‏@OfficialBuck103
    Excited to be getting back on the field today! #pumped

  3. I'm only gonna get to see the fifth set of Federer-Djokovic. Sounds like the first four were pretty good.

    1. Had to be someone, and there's a handful of pretty good second basemen in bigger markets that are going to be there.

      Wait, I'm doing this wrong- PROVEN CLOSER!

      1. Didn't have to be Perkins. Suzuki also an All-Star and had less competition. I think Perkins is certainly worthy but I didn't think his numbers stood out above a lot of good closers in the AL, at least with a lot of saves. I did notice that the AL has two righty relievers and two lefty relievers. Makes me wonder if final decisions came down to trying to win the game instead of who was most worthy.

        1. Oh, I was assuming Perkins was the only All-Star for the Twins. It's even more of a head-scratcher this way, but hey, good for him.

    2. I'm not sure who else it could've been. Hughes, maybe, but his last few starts probably took away his chance.

      1. I guess it could've been Suzuki, because it is. That's one I didn't see coming, but good for him. I guess a .300 batting average still means quite a bit.

        1. Suzuki is the one I've heard most talked about lately with Dozier slumping. Chris Sale didn't even make the AS team, so there's no way Hughes and his 102 ERA+ was making it.

          1. Yeah, I felt a little bad that I didn't know that when I looked him up. He's pretty high on my list of favorite Twins of all time.

  4. watching Det-TB and wishing the Twins could have found a way to sign Rajai Davis this past offseason.
