Bobby Bass Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 Yanks in Town Yanks in TownWhat a great weekend for baseball! Who would have thought a few months ago when there was snow on the ground that the Twins would be 7 games over .500 and in the hunt. The Yanks are in town for four games and perfect weather for baseball is on tap. I mean the real summer weather of hot days and warm evenings. For those who have tickets it should be a set of great games for outdoor baseball. The rest of us will have to listen to the games on radios drifting in boats or maybe under a ceiling fan watching the game on TV. BBQ’s will have hot-dogs or burgers or maybe some ribs or steaks cooking and guys will sit around sipping on cold beer and taking in the smoke off the grill. Some guys may be mowing lawns wearing headphones while others may be sitting in a hot car while the wife grocery shops. Kids running through sprinklers and grandpa’s cursing every time a Yank gets a hit. Just thought I might give you a hint what I will be doing this weekend. gunner55 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobby Bass Posted July 25, 2015 Author Share Posted July 25, 2015 10-1 Twins win last night, every time I walked out of earshot of the radio the Twins hit a Homer! I did make a mistake, the first one this month that I will admit to as I said a four games series and it is actually is only three games. Would be nice to take all three, we certainly owe the Yanks more then a few beat downs. Was a nice night for baseball, a few showers that just missed my place and the skeeters must have found some tourist to feast on, hardly any out on my deck. Looking forward to more of the same tonight! ANYFISH2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ANYFISH2 Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 It sure would be nice to have the Yankees number for once, in like decades! However we.will see, we seem to be struggling to consistently score runs. I will be watching and enjoying that's for sure. It sure is nice to still be relevant at the end of July.

JBMasterAngler Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 New manager. Same yankee curse! When we were up 5-0 and failed to score with runners in scoring position 2 innings in a row, I started to get a bad feeling about the outcome of the game. I hate the yankees! And to add insult to injury, a-roid hit 3 home runs! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobby Bass Posted July 26, 2015 Author Share Posted July 26, 2015 Jinx, as soon as the announcers starting talking a Yankee sweep I knew we were in trouble. But still another great night for baseball! Afternoon game today and a win will make it a nice day for a lot of people trying to beat the heat by staying in the shade with the story being told to their wife's that they HAVE to listen to the game and can't be doing no work today!

ANYFISH2 Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 Well that wasn't what I was hoping for! Looked good for the first 14 innings, not so good the last 13. I guess they still have our number! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobby Bass Posted July 27, 2015 Author Share Posted July 27, 2015 (edited) Still it was a great weekend for baseball ! would have been o so much sweeter if the Twins had taken two and three would have made people talking about the summer we swept the Yanks! Just good to hear some positive comments about summer and baseball.. Edited July 27, 2015 by Bobby Bass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunner55 Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 Got to agree BB. They played the Yankees tough, with a break or 2 they could have won that series.They are a starting to play some good baseball again, if Molitor can just keep making the right moves with the pitching,they may be able to hang in there. Both the starters & the bullpen are struggling now. The young guys( Sano. Rosario, Buxton/Hicks even Duffy)) have been giving them a lift lately.

Bobby Bass Posted August 27, 2015 Author Share Posted August 27, 2015 What could have been a doomsday road trip see the Twins winning six in a row and back in the wildcard... Duffman and gunner55 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
