How did we end up with O’Sullivan? He seems to fit right in with the other non Greinke worthless starters.

Nobody thinks you're serious.
If you are, we gave them Callaspo. Although I’m not sure how you missed that. All you had to do is scroll down on the home page.
Yuni made a nice play, so now he doesn't suck anymore. Great.

Yuni scratched from the lineup!
If it’s for a trade I’ll shit myself
WHO ELSE
will start at shortstop???? Can we get Kendall to play there? Oh wait, that’d take him out of catcher. Are we fielding a whole team of Bloomquists today?

I am intrigued if it is merely some kind of cucumber juice.
If it is a version of Pepsi with cucumber, then I’m grossed out. But I find cucumbers to be very refreshing without that boring “drinking water” mundaneness.
I tried a free sample of cucumber-melon soda
it was surprisingly not horrible.
Sweet
Weird looking stuff is often good.
They have this stuff in the UK called Irn-Bru that is bright Orange. Looks toxic but is awesome. I think it;s import is banned into the US because of some coloring in it, and the Canadian version has no Caffeine because it isn’t dark- which takes the fun out of it.
KCs season is over but if they can hurt the Twins chances at the playoffs I'll be happy

Didn't catch who's being interviewed on pre-game
but among other things: “Pina = Sundberg” “Orlando = Chili davis”
Also Moustakas is Mike Schmidt, Myers is Joe Mauer, and John Lamb is like that Bugs Bunny cartoon where he strikes out the side on one pitch.
I'm sure the feeling would be mutual
If good teams like the Twins gave a shit about crap teams like the Royals.
But i’m with you.
Sir, do you also prefer dark to light?
Untruth to truth. Sour to sweet. Wrong to right. To not love thy Twins, and the holiness with which they approach the grandest game of baseball, is in fact a declaration that one hates life itself.

has an injury been confirmed?
TV just said they were looking into why he was scratched
