4/4 at Twins

[Bellhorn04]

Weather today is expected to be nasty--cold and maybe wet--the exact opposite of the weather Ernie Banks had in mind when he said, "let's play two!"

 

Maybe they should have stuck with having a dome...

[Maxbialystock]

As he played in Chicago, a city where the weather is determined by a random number generator, Banks was well aware that it could be 70 and sunny for the first game, and then 40 degrees and snowing by the time the second one rolled around. Yet he still wanted to play two...

 

30 degrees is a big drop for 4 hours, but your point is well taken.

[TylerD]

Woke up to 4 feet of friggin snow where I live. Ugh.

Found it hard to believe that JD had to share 'player of the week' honors.

[mvp 78]

Found it hard to believe that JD had to share 'player of the week' honors.

 

He doesn't share it, there's an NL and AL player of the week.

[mvp 78]

Two outs, but two good at bats IN THE SNOW.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

He doesn't share it, there's an NL and AL player of the week.

 

Yup, my bad.

[a700hitter]

Snow is not good weather for protesting.

[Maxbialystock]

Actually, it's perfect if your protesting game conditions, which I am.

[mvp 78]

Not going great.

[TylerD]

Perez. Come on man

[mvp 78]

Woof. Seems like it's not going to be our day.

[a700hitter]

Nelson Cruz doesn’t play in the snow? Glad that he isn’t in the lineup.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Well, at least everyone in the BP should be available today.

[d-money]

Crappy pitching. Idk why perez is in this rotation.

[TylerD]

This isn’t looking good.

[d-money]

Crap! Gotta stay within two runs. Can’t give up anymore.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Crappy pitching. Idk why perez is in this rotation.

 

It's temporary until Sale returns.

[d-money]

This guy looks terrible. Keep us in the damn game you clown.

[guinness22]

Better half inning Perez

[TylerD]

It's temporary until Sale returns.

 

Can’t wait.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

If one wants to cool off a hot offense, have them play while it's snowing.

[guinness22]

Couple hard hit balls. Nothing to show for it.

[d-money]

No offense thus far.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

There's still a slim chance of a snow-out.

[TylerD]

No offense thus far.

 

Perez actually isn’t too bad either. Need some offense.

[moonslav59]

Perez actually isn’t too bad either. Need some offense.

 

Yes, he hasn't been bad, so far, this year and could be solid #5.

[d-money]

Cy Happ right now. Can’t do anything against him.
