IN!!

Driving to STL tonight, so I will be listening on the radio.

R's 5
Twinks 3

to the heavens

I'll be at the game tomorrow night. 4th row, behind Royals dugout. Looking forward to my first game at Target Field

Awesome place. I suggest getting seats in the Legends Club sometime.

Would be nice to put the twins down a couple games.

Chris Young should be a much better pitcher in Target Field than Yankee Stadium. Hopefully it won't be too humid.

I think we have a 49.5% chance to win today and a 65% chance to win tomorrow.

let's just sweep these posers!!

This seems like the best option :D

Are you saying they smoke clove cigarettes?

Picking Rios to lead the offense tonight.

Twins lineup shouldn't be as strong as the Rangers. Young should do his thing tonight.

Lineups are out, usual lineup for us today
