The WNT gets a parade down Broadway in NYC today.

(That's Tobin Heath, btw. It was the only WNT player I could find drinking a cuppa)

Five hits, eleven bases.

It's May 27 and he has 4.9 rWAR. That's more than Jason Kubel had in his career.

He's on pace for 15.2 rWAR this year. Or, the entire careers of Matt Lawton and Bill Buckner.

This kid might be something once he hits his prime years.

"My idea of Christmas, whether old-fashioned or modern, is very simple: loving others. Come to think of it, why do we have to wait for Christmas to do that?" – Bob Hope

I recently bought two pairs of pants that are identical save for the color. On one pair, the zipper gets caught up every single time, but on the other it works smoothly. I don't understand this.

Three days of stupidly hot and humid weather and its not officially summer. But I'm done with it. Bring back the 70 degree temps!

Remodeled basement. Same half-baked taste.

In Response to 2019 Game 88: Oakland White Pachyderms vs. Minnesota Doppelgangers,
- brianS: Baines’ vet committee induction gives me hope for Tony. He was Hall of On His Way when he blew out his knee.
- brianS: What a frustrating game to watch. Compounded by the fact that I added an hour to the recording, which only got me to the...
- CarterHayes: The only standard Harold Baines has established is that there’s a new Frankie Frisch-style route to packing the committee...
- socaltwinsfan: I totally Spookied Kepler’s heroics in the 9th. Well, at the very least, I figured if they could just extend the...
- socaltwinsfan: Plus Cruz and Arraez were both robbed of hits with RISP. Despite that, at this point in the game, were slugging .571 with...
- socaltwinsfan: Been playing a lot more tight games lately so a lot more memorable would be my guess.
- socaltwinsfan: Most of it has been the Tigers. 10-0 in 5 weeks or something like that.
- socaltwinsfan: Obviously would have to be by Veterans Committee. If Baines is the new standard then Tony O should be a unanimous pick.
- sean: You’ll always have Gibson.
- cheaptoy: I do have to admit I may have been a little harsh back then.
- Rhubarb_Runner: Remember Pineda’s April?
- cheaptoy: I try not to.
- Rhubarb_Runner: Wait, what?! Aw heck, it’s worth it.
- Beau: Remember Adrianza’s April?
- meat: Max with the German efficient post game interview. Like I said, we needed it.
- cheaptoy: No, wait, I was right the first time. I got messed up by the crappy mlb website. At least they split the series even though...
- Philosofer: I’m happy to stand corrected.
- meat: You can’t be right about everything.
- The Dread Pirate: All they needed was for me to walk away and give the kiddos a bath
- Beau: You now have a thousand somehow
- meat: You’re all welcome.
- meat: I’ll be taking all the points for today.
- cheaptoy: In Max we trust
- meat: I told you so.
- davidwatts: YES!
- nibbish: This one felt like it was following a familiar script. Thank goodness for plot twists.
- meat: I Lol’d the look on his face when he almost got caught off base.
- Rhubarb_Runner: but most importantly, someone won $300
- meat: He got the medium sized part of the bat on that one.
- meat: Drama!
- davidwatts: Game tying 1 out triples are danged sexy.
- meat: You gotta give em two outs to make it dramatic.
- meat: The twins are going to win this ball game.
- meat: Was my inspiration
- Philosofer: This is getting frustrating.
- Algonad: I’m picturing good cop/bad cop from The Lego Movie.
- Jeff A: We need a Dazzle Special here.
- sean: League average batting average with someone on base is only .260 so they’re doing well today.
- The Dread Pirate: Oh Eddie……& #8230;..
- Jeff A: Provus says the Twins are “only 4-for-14” with men in scoring position. That’s a .286 average. I know...
- The Dread Pirate: I’ve never seen someone get Gordo’d by a groundball until Dick
- Jeff A: Let’s take advantage of that, boys!
- Jeff A: On the plus side, maybe this is setting up a C. J. Cron pinch-hit homer to give me a bunch more points!
- Jeff A: Was it last fall when Jim Kaat floated the idea of seven-inning games? Maybe the Twins need to get behind that idea.
- Zack: This very fun summer is rapidly becoming less fun.
- Beau: I’m ready to trade our top 10 prospects for Will Smith
- The Dread Pirate: And miss another pitch
- Jeff A: And as night follows day, the Twins lose another lead.
- The Dread Pirate: I want some of the A’s magic beans
In Response to July 21, 2019: Freezy Creamsies,
- socaltwinsfan: They don’t call it Braintree for nothing.
