Two days of live sports... MLB tomorrow and Golden Boy Boxing on Thursday

When I was in NY for the Quillin Lee fight we went to see the Yankees. Worst decision of the trip, absolutely shite not to mention getting asked for ID every 15 minutes when getting a beer from the same vendor

Sounds like a good double header of action. Haven't followed Twins or baseball since the days of Kirby Pucket and Chili Davis but in the right venue the game can be pretty entertaining, and goes a helluva lot faster than television.

Pretty good card on espn 2 also. What sort of seats did you get? We'll be looking for the Saddo banners .

We almost got a two-for-one on the baseball game..... lasted 16 innings!!! People were largely game (sold-out stadium)... but started leaving a few innings before, no doubt thinking about having to go to work the next day. The seats were great, @Spicoli . First base side, not too far up, and in good position for lots of foul balls. Unfortunately most of the hitters seemed to be lefty, so the 3rd base side got most of the action. Also, the cameramen were too busy seeking out the fine looking women, like they always do. All in all a great game, except for those who like lots of offense. It was 0-0 through 13 or 14 innings, it seems, with our own José Berrios and the Indians starting pitcher locked in a pitcher's duel through about 7-8 innings. Finally a couple of homers to spark up things from the offensive side, and the Twins won on a walk-off single into center field.

A side note: My brother and I left Luquillo (NE corner town) under a massive downpour, complete with thunder and lightning. We were also in the middle of a 12-hour long power outage. Felt we were a little nuts thinking there was going to be an actual baseball game. By the time we got to San Juan, not a drop of rain, and a packed stadium. Couple of times between innings they had some choreographed dances atop one of the dugouts (1st base side ) by some finely toned, very flexible females..... and after that who cares who won the game.




Hoping for more offense tonight.

Good card unfolding and looks like you have lots of seats to pick from bud . With everything going on good they have network events and promotion going locally. Orlando Cruz is putting in work and showing Roach some experience over first 6 rnds!

Cruz hurt very bad, ref ignored clear KD.

Wow, that was a marathon and a half. Two days straight of getting home at close to 2 am..... but well worth it.

The fight card was great. The best fights were José "Wonder Boy" Lopez defeating Mexican Miguel Angel Gonzalez via UD, and Carlos "Purin" Caraballo defeating Mexican Antonio Rodriguez via 4th round TKO. Both Lopez and Caraballo looked excellent in their fights. The Roach-Cruz fight was close but yeah..... the ref did a poor job in not acknowledging the clear knockdown. Don't know how he didn't. Still, it was close enough to where a draw wasn't all that bad a decision. Disappointing crowd size to be sure. I don't know whether the baseball games the previous two nights had anything to do with it or what. But it was a good card. Magdiel Cotto won his fight also, to improve to 9-0 with 7 KO's, but honestly he doesn't impress me. Lopez and Caraballo impress me more.

On another note, the Tecate ring girl was a bit more curvy than the ones I'm used to seeing on Golden Boy telecasts. Gotta love the local talent.
