Maybe it can be Skubal Skuba Night, with a side of submarine delivery and sinkers

Weather forecast said 40 MPH gusts. I sure hope it blows out when the Tigers are up and in when the Twins bat. And pop ups should be interesting.

I remember there was a rumor that the Twins would turn the AC on and off at the baggy dome depending on what team was at bat. The theory being the AC caused a strong wind gust to the outfield helping fly balls over the wall.

I heard Kirk Gibson say he tested that out. I'm not sure how but Gibby likes answers to unfounded rumors.

I'll be very sad if I can't watch Tiger baseball on my birthday.

I didn't hear all of it either but he said something about tying string/ribbons to the screens on the outlets. I didn't catch whether he actually succeeded and did it, or if he was just recounting that it was something he had wanted to try to do.

I heard him start talking about it but then they went to commercials. I never heard the rest of his story. His monotone or Monroe's blubbering? I would vote for Gibby.

I feel like Gibby's voice has much more energy and strength so far this year. Maybe it was just because it wasn't Craig, but I like to think it is.

Wind is going to be howling straight out to left field. Can Riley just play in the bull pen?
