And to think... Ozuna would have been safe if not for trying to carry that heavy sword down the first base line.

Also: I wish I had one of those magic LNP floating Lego-men. That would be great.

I know! Morneau was in a fog or something just then - it was kinda apparent (from my viewpoint, at least) that Johan was going to get the ball, and that he ('he' referring to Morneau) should then cover the base. But no, apparently Justin didn't see things that way. Sure, it's -customary- that the pitcher covers the bag, but still, since when did Johan play -conventionally-? Thank goodness for that tag...

P.S. That Tyner catch took my breath away.

As does the total for the DfD campaign. Awesome.

WOW, VIVA EL PRESIDENTE!

Great recap of the El Presidente play! I would really like to see a clip of that play. Darn FSN! The best games are not on TV yet they certainly didn't want us to miss the pitching of Kyle. LOL!

"Please to sit down. Thank you. Good-bye."

Indeed. I completely missed that play. Thank you for the LegoVision replay, BG!

So which Minnesota team has been the most embarassing of all? The Twins, the Vikings, or the Timberwolves. They all stink and you can make a great case of how one team is worse than other. All three teams have been a disgrace to Minnesota.

Twins and Vikings got their ass kicked this weekend.

Geesh Leslie -
I so disagree - the Twins lost two games by a run - hardly a disgrace - as far as I know the Wolves haven't even started their new season - and the only team that got spanked to today was the Vikings - I'm surprised you didn't say anything about the Wild losing too -
Who gave you the unhappy pill to swallow???

Best Legovision Ever! Great natural lighting captured perfectly the rich outfield hues and infield clay. Makes me long for my 3-D glasses of old, or at least my "Viewmaster".
A picture is worth a hundred legos, or something like that. Keep up the great work!

Yay, Legovision! Especially since I missed Johan's game. I mean, it was 9 am, on a saturday, my time! So thanks for the visuals!

The Twins were a disappointment this weekend, overall, but disgrace? No. Great pitching, some really spectacular defense (despite a few unfortunate gaffes)...and some dingers. For dollars, even! Mmmm...dollars...

Oh...and may the record reflect that the Twins had their own Hottest Chick contest this weekend...

"Fashion statements: You could tell it was the annual rookie hazing day in the clubhouse after Sunday's game.

Infielder Terry Tiffee was wearing a cheerleading uniform and blonde wig. Chris Henitz, Jason Bartlett and Luis Rodriguez were wearing women's outfits. Matt Guerrier was in an all-pink ensemble while Scott Baker was in a sailor's uniform.

And pitcher Francisco Liriano looked like a deranged version of Dr. Seuss' "Cat in the Hat." He was wearing a tall red-striped hat and long socks with a leather red dress."

Oh, I would LOVE to have pictures of that.... even a Photoshopped one would be good enough ;)

We were at the game and I must say the reenactment added nuances one missed the first time through. I agree about Morneau - maybe he couldn't have made the play but it would have been nice if it had looked like he was thinking about it!

Are there pictures coming? "Hottest Chick" becomes a reality show...

LOL - that's two years in a row for Shaggy and Tiffee - dressing up - did anyone see Mauer - he got off easy last year - they put him in a hospital gown - last year Shaggy was a Gladiator
I hope someone got pics =)

My favourtie Lego vision - LNP jumping in the air - that was a fabulous catch! I think I jumped out of my seat as high as Nick when he caught the ball =)

Dear Mr./Ms. Monterio,

Now, now. Please remember we try to have to fun here, as difficult as it sometimes is.

Sincerely,
BG

Ahoy mateys -
'tis a 'ard day to be a Minnesota sportin' fan, but a great day to be a pirate ... and not the Pittsburgh kind.

Arrr....

I have some pictures of rookie hazing :)

I'll send 'em to BG when I get them uploaded :)

BG: Isn't the quote properly "I am no' right-handed."??

Of course, the problem with using that quote is the riposte, so to speak. "I am not right-handed either."

--brianS

Someday I wouldn't be surprised if Stewie runs through a wall. Can we get him some radar -- or at least extend his warranty?

And not to sound like a total elderly fuddy duddy, but when I was a kid, Saturday afternoon games were perfect for the TV. Not to mention games against your main rival and pitched by the defending Cy Young winner.

Sorry. Should have made it clear that the _application_ is to right-handedness, as the original is "I am no' left-handed."

How appropriate that BG should bring a little bit of piracy to bear on this day. But why, oh why, couldn't the boys have made use of their immunity to Iocaine Powder yesterday??

Even Lego Johan is a hottie. Damn.

Woo, it's Talk Like A Pirate Day again already? Wow.

Candace! Photos?! Whee!

*notices that her prod at Leslie, even though it had a :P after it, is missing* ;) Heh, point taken, BatGirl, e'en tho' 'twas but sarcasm.

With this team, it's been "Talk like a Pirate Day" all year.

AAAAAARRRRRRRRRGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!

P.S.

Can we make Gardy sign an enforceable contract or something which prohibits him from EVER giving Lew Ford the bunt sign again?

The only bunt Ford can get down is a Bundt cake.

Ouch.
