1. HBH ballot ends tomorrow night.

   I think I'll make it past the third inning, but we'll see.

   1. You lasted longer than Seattle's starting pitcher.

2. Cron!!

3. Likes me some May Cron

4. I'll be here for as much of the game as I can until the whiskey sets in.

   Also, that Cron shot was smoked and I love it.

   1. What kind of Whiskey?

      Ive got Islay on the rocks in front of me tonight.

      1. I just have Evan Williams. Most of my whiskey drinking is of the cheap variety.

         I do spoil myself I've in awhile and get some good stuff though. I balls Laphroaig, though mostly I drink bourbon. Eagle Rare being my favorite, Russell's Reserve when I'm feeling cheeky.

         1. I need to give those a try!

            1. There is soooo much good whiskey out there. Thanks to curling (and teammates who don't have kids) I've tried some amazing stuff over the last decade.

         2. I have a mostly-untouched bottle of Laphroaig. I’m...trying to make sense of it. Every person besides me who’s tried a sip hates it. I somewhat tolerate it, I guess? I don’t think I’ve graduated to it yet.

            1. I just really, really love the more peety scotches. Me and smokiness are good buddies.

               1. Same here - I LOVE the more smoky stuff.

                  1. I love smokiness too, which is what makes me the only one who tolerates it. The peatiness is something I need to adjust to.

                     1. Tag, smokiness from peet is definitely a different animal than wood. Once it clicks, though, oh mama.

                        1. There is a definite umami-like sensation from the peet smoke of Islay whiskey that I really enjoy.

5. GRAND BUXTON

6. 4x4Bux!!

7. First slam of the season!!

8. Spooooooookied!

9. Damn!

10. Just need to come say:

    Buxton is a bust and the Twins can only score on HRs.

    1. Noticed today that 2Bux is top 20 in MLB in fWAR now. He's not exactly hot on Polanco's heels yet, but he will be soon, I think. He's legitimately looking like a star this season.

       1. Yeah, he's been awesome. That injury last year really didn't do him any favors, but a competely healthy Buxton is so much fun to watch.

          1. Less slamming into walls, more hitting them over the walls plz.

11. Oh, man. Buxton is going to be moving up the lineup soon.

12. This is awesome

13. If only Cron would come up to bat with some men on base.

    This is so much fun to watch!!!!!!

14. C2HRon.

15. Criminy.

16. I can see why the Rays let Cron go...

17. It’s like the Twins know we all want to go to bed early so they’re taking care of business early.

18. hahahahahahahahah this is nuts

19. Baseball is fun, guys

    1. These falvey and lavine guys might know what they're doing.

20. Jeepers

21. Damn, son

22. Ladies and gentlemen, your hit parade.

23. 56's Northeast Nectar is excellent

24. Holy cr@p!! Turn away for a few minutes, and all heck breaks loose!

25. Going with a classic Sierra Nevada Pale Ale.

    Wife is enjoying a Lift Bridge Mango Blonde. I had to go to three different liquor stores to find that one.

    1. Wow. Ubiquitous down here.

       1. I was surprised, too. It was everywhere last year.

    2. Good thing you found it at the 3rd store, otherwise you would be driving a bit further.

       1. The third store was in Carlos, so it did actually take a LITTLE driving.

    3. I went to hang out with some buds tonight and brought some Juice-Z. It wasn't bad, but not great either. I'm pretty over the whole NE style IPA. It's no where near the quality of Hop Dish.

26. Rosario is a bum

    1. Every one hits! Everyone scores! Eddie excepted

27. That was some inning...

    This is a really fun lineup, and they were mentioning earlier that it's been a full month since the last short start.

    1. Lots of home runs plus a solid rotation seems like a really good formula for winning baseball.

       1. Now if only they had a good bullpen. Lot of people with shiny ERAs but still below average in total.

28. I imagine that Arraez will get his shot sometime a little later.

29. New guy has a 1.93 WHIP. I think I just drooled a little.

30. Cron gets his 100th career HR, and the way things are going, the Twins will get their 100th of the season somewhere around the 7th inning

31. Finally a run scored from something other than a home run.

32. Now they all have hits.

    1. And runs.

33. Can I watch another half-inning, given that it’s Berrios? Fading fast here...

34. Huh. Would've never guessed that Berrios wouldn't have made it through that inning.

35. Wins are dumb, but I feel bad for Berrios here.

36. Geez

    1. Whiskey still hasn't set in!

37. It's 17-4, just get the damn out at first, my dude
