Cup of CoffeeI volunteered with a group from work to help chaperone a high school graduation night event last night. I didn’t plan on staying long, but it’s 3 AM as I write this. Whoops. WGOM FitnessI can’t really say what’s going on right now, except to say that the pounds are coming off at a very fast rate. Read more… Quest for 73-89

hey look, Ben Revere got another hit
Meh, like that’s unusual.
21 games!
on the board!
He’s pitching on a Tuesday and my heart stood still
Dedududuno, Deduduno.
is that like… Sussudio?
Get out of the men’s room a little late, and miss a run.
On an unrelated note, all-you-can-eat sushi may sound like a good idea at the time, but I’ll come back to haunt you.
C’mon, Sam.
I blame Nishi’s feed to Dozier for not getting a double play
I was trying not to blame him for it, and I feel better about that once Nishi took care of business on his second chance.
I blame Casilla for Nishi sucking like a carp.
How many at bats until Nishi’s first hit? I’ll set the O/U at 10.5.
NISHIOKA IS GOING TO
WINGET A HIT IN THIS GAME!Kotchman just ruined my call.
You should’ve stuck with Nishi getting the win, but I’m willing to still give you credit.
over. Im guess he will be cut before he gets a hit
Sadly, I feel you are too optimistic. I’ll take the over.
Nishioka has a ways to go to match the standard bearer.
Of course, Shaq Thompson was in the GCL, and barely played baseball in high school (he’s a football stud heading to Washington). But he finished the summer 0-47 with 45 srikeouts.
The Twins just pitched out with Sam Deduno on the mound.
I get the feeling “effectively wild” is turning quickly into “ineffectively wild”.
It was only a matter of time. Unsustainable, right?
I told Butch that he was about to turn into a pumpkin.
Sammy has NO IDEA where that ball is going.
past a diving Nishioka
Past a diving sucking carp.
Deduno’s pitches aren’t moving much. Before they hit the bat, I mean.
Chicken kabobs (peppers, onion, squash, zucchini, and pineapple), roasted potatoes drizzled with EVOO and fresh cracked pepper, quartered garden tomato and a Grain Belt Premium. I can eat like this for the rest of my life, I think.
You didn’t really just type “EVOO” did you??
Did you follow that with “Yummo!”????
also, you could probably even lose the chicken, replacing it with mushrooms.
Abbreviation is the soul of laziness.
Why would I want to replace the chicken? Unless I’m substituting filet mignon, I mean.
Because vegetables are heart-healthy
*Smacks Twayn upside the head*
leaving in 5 minutes to have cocktails with Algonad
Dazzle: Nishioka’s English is much improved.
Me: He’s learned words like “error” and “strikeout”.
I’m surprised he hasn’t mastered the Joe Schultz lexicon by now.
and “ricker-shay”
When is Dazzle’s English going to improve?
Justin Morneau has better range than Nishioka
That was a nice play.
On the grill: this lasagna recipe. Have had it once before, and it’s amazing.
It’s a hunnert degrees out. Are you gonna chill the lasagna to serve later?
Good as a hit for Nishi.
Dick: Nishioka retired.
Me: Wishful thinking.
that was nice. Deduno got behind 3-0, then came back for a strikeout.
but then the next batter he was ahead 0-2 then walked the guy. ugg.
Good lord, the sucking carp has infected Carroll!
that was Valencia-esque
This guy started the game with an ERA of about 8, and we can’t beg, borrow or steal a run against him?
This is the inning the Twins strike. I’ve got a good feeling about it.
Or not.
I smell a rally.
smells like the compost pile
My compost piles smell much cleaner than that double poop.
Revere…walks? I didn’t know he could do that.
He has trouble not running.
[Joe Schultz]
Sam De-done.
its been a while since a Twins starter has crapped out before the 5th inning.
FSN not showing a replay of Mauer getting hit in the nether regions
What happened to Mauer? Hit in the cup?
There’s very few things more embarrassing than watching grown men jump around like dick heads trying to retrieve a foul ball.
I hope this inning ends soon because the drum banging is getting annoying
Dazz: “Twins have an opportunity with Nishioka at the plate.”
Me: I’m not sure that word means what you think it means.
The company I work for has management use the word “opportunity” instead of “disaster”, “problem”, “issue” or anything that might have a negative connotation to it.
So, a piece of equipment broke down? It’s an “opportunity” for repairs!
Dazzle’s statement seems to be perfectly in line with this philosophy.
that sounds like something straight out of the short lived, but brilliant sitcom ‘Better Off Ted’
I loved both episodes of that show that I got to see.
I watched all the episodes of “Better Off Ted” on Netflix a few months ago, since I thought the few episodes I saw were great. I wish it was still on.
RIP “BOT”. I was watching some of that on Saturday night. I love Phil and Lem.
Chinese balance beam chick has me quaking. Don’t scare me gal.
Crisitunity!
They have a word for everything!
My company doesn’t do that officially, but several of my managers over the years have.
this game is moving at a slow pace and the Twins look like they are going to be stuck on 1 run, but I am still watching because the way the Twins have been playing lately, its going to be a crazy 8th inning and they’ll score in 2 wild pitches and a balk or something weird like that.
Might be a crazy 7th inning- Dozier hit a double, anything is possible!
Asdrubelbobble. Sounds like something in the back of your car.
Or something you get after eating too much Taco Bell.
oh my.
Kipnis making up for the error removed from yesterday’s game.
Errors for me…errors for you!
What the hell just happened? I was only half listening, and Dazz was only half coherent, so I only have a quarter of an idea.
a very routine ball hit to 2b dude. it rolled right through his legs.
Nishification of the Indians infield.
Does anyone else watch Plouffe! live-tweet the games? I feel like he’d fit in nicely here.
If he were one of us, he’d change the tagline on his twitter from Minnesota Twin and lover of America to Minnesota Twin and America’s lover.
And instead of a flag in the background it would be the Statue of Liberty looking coy.
Fiddlesticks.
three runs out of a lead-off double, error, ground out, walk, HBP, and an error. Hard to complain too much.
Gabby Douglas just did some sort of backflip with a half twist.
OH SHIT SHE JUST FELL OFF!
Correction: It was a back-flip full-twist. Still nutso.
Not a quality start.
the US gymnastics performances (other than “women’s” team gold and individual all-around) have been a train wreck.
the vault girl falls on her butt and still wins silver? That’s an embarrassment for the “sport”*.
*Not actually a sport. An athletic competition.
I have trouble taking any of the events that are judged seriously. Too subjective. Still can be fun to watch, though.
agreed.
It is tough to watch the butt factor (skater wipes out, vaulter makes a mess, beamer wipes out.).
The Minnesota Twins official scorer ruled it a hit.
This has got to be worth a point.
Agreed. I was still looking for the “like” button.
Joe Mauer is having a Mike Redmond type game behind the plate tonight.
That looked like a really close play at second.
oh man, I think Span was safe.
And Carrera looked out.
We got ‘em right where we want ‘em: Big Pussy leading off the 9th.
Mauer, Willingaham, Morneau due up
Hey guys, what did I miss?
Deduno gone wild, and a comedy of errors. Nishi continuing to suck. Umps sucking. More errors.
So, not much.
None of that is the least bit surprising.
Cleveland should bunt more.
Nice DP!
Well, if Robertson isn’t going to strike out everyone he faces, a double-play ball is an acceptable substitute.
What? Mauer doesn’t swing at that pitch.
The nut shot earlier affected his strikezone judgment.
He got hit in the nuts? I can’t believe I missed that.
he got hit in the nuts, then later a ball bounced up and hit him in the Adams apple.
I can’t decide if I like a stolen base there or not. I suppose it depends on how this at bat turns out.
Best stolen base ever!
Just like they drew it up.
YEE HAW!
that was awesome!!!!!!
Well, you said a crazy 8th inning. You missed it by an inning on either side, dw.
yeah, no kidding. lol
TWINS BASEBALL!!!1!!1!!!
wow… tie game…. nice
I really like Doumit. I’m glad he’s going to be around here for a couple more years.
Doublit!
can we put in Drew Butera here?
Seconded.
How nice it would be to have Jimmers batting instead…
It’s Nishi? Crap.
Best Nishi ever!
LOL
No, carp. Sucking carp. SBG says so.
Borrowed from Twain.
Ah, I missed the first reference.
Good enough!
Nishi!!!!!!!!!!
Zach wins this evening.
Zack would be sad about the ‘h’.
Did NIshioka just get a productive out?
Dozier with a monster blast to short left!
ok, FSN showed a couple of Cleveland fans with bags over their heads. One of them had ‘DFA Monster’ and the bag was cut out like a jack o’lantern. well played Tribe fan.
They do have a lot of practice in this area.
I think that was actually Tosoni under there.
Who is our closer tonight? Perkins?
Hmm, might not matter.
it would only be fitting to have Ben Revere hit an inside the park grand slam
how many errors on that play?
Batting around in the 9th is fun.
Get rid of Danny V. Destroy Danny V’s college roommate.
Checkmate.
Well played, Dozier.
Let’s go, Perk.
Stayed in at least.
That guy playing the drum doesn’t look happy.
I am glad I stuck with this game.
Yup.
I’ll take credit for this one. I just got back from my hot date in time to let the hotness rub off on the game.
Better schedule 51 more hot dates.
And end all of them before the Twins game is over. I think Greek is going to need one very understanding girl or a whole rotation of them.
I’d better lower my standards--and quick!
World Champs!
That was … fun? I listened to most of it. I feel kind of bad for the Indians and the Twins didn’t do much to get this win other than not screw up like the Indians. That comeback was easy to predict when the Indians just couldn’t get the big hit to put the Twins away.
I think Robertson learned how to win: fewer strikeouts!
If this hadn’t been the Indians, I would have been surprised to check the scoreboard and see that the Twins pulled it out.
Had them all the way! The Twins are averaging ten and a half runs a game with Nishioka in the lineup! We’re still on track for 101-61!
