So you get to be a badass and a gentleman at the same time? No, I'm not buying it. No points for you. What is this – I have a great comeback but I’m not going to say it?

It was great (except they lost that one too). It was so loud in there I had to wear ear plugs. Didn't like that aspect, loud noise bothers me, I ended up with a headache.

It was cool to be in the Dome when it was full; the sixth inning was fun, but not much else for Twins fans. A few comments on the playoffs so far: - Joe Morgan continues his run as spewer of most contradictory nonsense by a commentator. In the first inning of Game 1, Castillo draws a leadoff walk and Morgan says, quote: "The Twins do a lot of things. The Twins, you know, they'll hit and run, they'll bunt, they'll steal a base. They do a lot of different things to manufacture runs." Castillo was thrown out stealing and Morgan <i> spent the rest of the game berating him for running in that situation. </i>. He also criticized Santana for leaving a changeup up in the zone on the home run, then said how well in was pitching in the next couple innings, when he struck hitters out on...high changeups. - Best quote, on Reggie Jackson and insurance runs: "If someone told me we needed an insurance run, I would hit the ball to the insurance building." - The Padres' ball girl looked pretty good. The Yankees' middle relief did not. Was fortunate enough to acquire a ticket so I saw the game in person today.
