Good morning all. Bert Blyleven called his last game for the Twins last night. He hasn't always been the best announcer, but I grew up with him calling games and just got used to it. Crazy to think he's done calling games now. He was signing autographs outside of the Metrodome my first Twins game back in 2001. Jumped in line and he signed my glove, which is now faded horribly.

Morning all! Congrats to those to were chosen for a Ben Baller box.

Definitely undecided on what to do with mine. I'm not sure I see the value in ripping it, but not sure if it will hold long term value either if sealed.

Morning all! Ready for a 3 day weekend! Need to make it through today & tomorrow first.

Happy retirement Bert Blyleven! A big fan of his when he was a player.

Looks like there was a way leaked online of how to order one without being in the raffle.

Might mean a lot of us won’t get it...

Anybody have anything smart they want me to say to Pete Ricketts about the Cubs today haha

That seems like odd timing to retire with the end of the season so close. Was any reason given for his retirement?

He's kinda been pushed out lately. They've been rotating more and more former players through the booth and he was scheduled for 20-40 games originally this year, and then that was ultimately reduced once the season was shortened. Roy Smalley and Justin Morneau both do a great job in the booth though so I'm okay with those 2 rotating in and out with Dick Bremer

Evening all!

Fun game so far in Philly...
