Theres this friend who I know from work. Pretty nice guy overall. We were talking about something random when somehow the topic of public restrooms came along. I told him I really liked the bathrooms at Target Field. He responded by saying the bathrooms at Progressive Field are better.
He proclaimed that the Progressive Field bathrooms are better because they’re cleaner whereas I rebutted by saying the Target Field bathrooms are better because the sinks at Target Field have better water pressure than the ones at Progressive Field. We went on for hours in a heated debate which involved him coming to tears at one point and I had a moment where I threw a chair across the room. Then I said to him “You know, I wouldn’t even place the Progressive Field bathrooms as Top 5 in the leauge”.
After that, he completely snapped. He started choking me and punched me causing me to fall to the ground. Then he started stomping on me repeatedly until he got tired. After a few minutes I got up feeling dizzy and he told me that we should just agree to disagree. I agreed and we haven’t mentioned our debate since.
Part of me wants to be upset at Alcala for cooking up a meatball to Kwan but holy fuck this offense is MISERABLE.
How the fuck are the guardians always so lucky
It’s not like we were gonna win all three. We’ll get em tomorrow
Joe Ryan run support day is tomorrow anyway.

The bet: nullified ~~https://www.reddit.com/r/minnesotatwins/comments/138n8fj/pre_game_thread_twins_1814_guardians_1417_may_5/jiz5c2f/~~
I’m confused if Sonny pitched how did the baddies get any runs?
^randy
Giving up a game winning home run to Steven fucking Kwan is an automatic option back to AAA, right?
Kinda /s
Sonny gray’s control in the 4th and sloppy defense won that for the guardians.
Nick Gordon isn’t good and needs to stop coming in later in games
No disrespect to Kwan, but giving up a homer to him is infuriating.
The Twins are now on pace for 91 wins.
Looked like it was going to get really ugly but the Twins at least made it interesting. They’ll come back and win the series tomorrow!
Classic Gourds win.
Shoulda had that 3-1
It’s like this franchise can’t have good offense and good pitching at the same time. It’s one or the other.
We desperately need to go after a bat or two at the deadline
#JOSE MIRANDA, YOU ARE A ST. PAUL SAINT.
^For ^hopefully ^only ^a ^few ^weeks.
I don’t know the solution is to this offense. We have too many guys who just suck right now. We strike out way too much
This is not a good sign for King Charles’ reign, bros…
