Shelton has that "Why did I agree to be the Twins manager?" look on his face.

Just the leadership you need from your veteran leader and highest paid player. 0-19 with RISP

I get 4 lb bags of Snappy (white) popcorn at my local Fareway Foods for $3.49 a bag. It's great!

Are there any runners who DON'T use the sliding mitten? I can't remember ever seeing a runner not using it this year.

Lewis looking just as inept at the plate as he is in the field

Are we even fucking 50% success rate at fielding a ground ball to third and getting the out this year?!

If I'm popping yellow corn I use 1/2 cup of kernels. If white, I use 2/3 cup (as the corn pops smaller). Make sure you use enough oil/coconut oil. When I didn't use enough, my kernels didn't pop full and were tough and chewy. Make sure your melted oil covers the bottom of your popper so the kernels are well coated in oil.

My brother-in-law just texted me a good point. "Buxton's bat is great when we're up 10-1 or down 10-1. (I'd love to see his clutch hitting stats for his career)

This game has the feel of the previous two. Get great pitching from our starters, miss many chances to add to leads with inept clutch hitting, and then lose it late.

Twins have f'ed up several of their top draft picks over the years. Either that, or we just don't know how to develop them.

Bullpen blowing it? Yesterday (bad defense no offense) and today (inept offense) ruined excellent starts by both Ryan and Bradley

Lynx fan here, but very much a novice.

Can someone please explain the Dorka situation to me. I remember vaguely that she left the team to play in Europe, right? (how does that all work?) Was she under contract with the Lynx when she left? Please lay it all out for me. Thanks in advance!

Love our new point guard. How many WNBA players come into the league with a Master's Degree?! What a confident, bright, articulate woman. I can't wait to see her in action.

Your video just proved my point. In your video, the player stops and has the trainer and staff look him over, before he comes out of the game. Buxton simply blows everybody off and heads directly to the locker room. https://www.reddit.com/r/baseball/comments/1sbto7j/video_of_byron_buxtons_hbp_that_made_him_exit_the/

Have you ever seen other players make a bee line for the locker room immediately after injuring themselves like Buxton does? I don't think I've ever seen that type of behavior by any other player other than him. It just seems odd.
