1. I really love the look of these Twin Cities kits

   1. I'd be down for them becoming the regular unis.

      1. Still partial to MINNESOTA on the front, being an expat and all, but I hope it gets a regular rotation 'cause they're sweet

         1. Rumor has it the Twin Cities unis will be the Sunday home standard.

2. LAUNCHED

3. Love hearing Marney on the radio.

   1. Oh, she is on a roll!

      1. They did a pregame home plate deal with her, the team donated 25 grand each to the cancer society and Susan B. Koman and they gave her flowers and it was just great. Marney is family.

         1. If there's replay of the radio broadcast available, it's worth hearing that 1/2 inning

            1. here is her home run call

               Upon @MarneyGellner return to Target Field and while she is visiting Cory & Danny, Trevor Larnach launched one! Check out Marney's signature home run call here, @Twins rolling right now with a 7 run inning and lead the Cubs 8-0! pic.twitter.com/wa5NmjgTD8

               1. Condensed game on mlb.com has 2 more calls by her

4. good lord Joey Gallo

   1. "HE BETTER CALL MOMMA!"

5. Twins having fun with Cubs pitching.

6. There seem to be a lot of fish on that vest now.

7. Statcast says 402 feet for Gallo's home run today and 422 feet for his yesterday. He hit it too high yesterday to get great distance.

   1. I was working right field today, stationed behind the seats between the foul pole and the flagpoles. His homer went at least ten feet over my head and landed in middle of the Schneiderman Lawn where people were playing cornhole and mini-golf. Nobody hurt, a dad got the ball and gave it to his boy.

      1. I just watched the replay and saw myself on TV, never done that before.

8. Pretty cool if Varland continues to remain the successful rotation backup that he appears to be

   1. Varland and Ober both making solid bids.

      1. At this point* I don't consider Ober a backup

         *Mahler TJ

9. Pagan makes good pitch; still gets poked the other way for an RBI

10. Lots of pink Breast Cancer Awareness / Mothers Day uniform accoutrement, but love Vasquez' pink floral sleeve - very nice

    1. Lots of high socks.
       I'd prefer to see stirrups, but....

       1. The Poissonnière is the only kid on her little league team wearing stirrups, but thankfully there are a couple high sock kids.

11. Position player pitcher feeding frenzy

12. Save some runs for the next eight games, guys!

13. 6 Twins batters scored 2 runs. Thats pretty good!

    1. They said that was the most runs by the Twins in a 3-game series at Target, which surprised me, but Target Field is no New Comiskey
