Cup of CoffeeThe Spurs and Heat are going to a seventh game after by far the best game of the series (and most series). Let’s just avoid a blowout in the end, alright? WGOM FitnessLast night I played tennis with a 15-year-old girl (my wife’s cousin), and was beaten pretty soundly. Read more… Quest for 73-89

I put the first disc of “Arrested Development” in and hit “Play All”. I may or may not check out the game tonight.
No Span tonight. But not injured, just because Gardy wants to give him a day off against a lefty. Because Span always sits against Dempster.
Oops, I was all sorts of confused.
Because Span always sits against
Dempsterlefties.FTFM.
Revere wasn’t out by any too much on that.
OFFS, Carson had to be sent back down?
Obviously. Having fewer than 13 pitchers is crazy!
Duh.
Also because having a third catcher is more important than having a fourth outfielder.
Well, fifth outfielder. Except today it would be a third outfielder since Span and Willingham are out.
still.
Plus, I think of PermissiblePig as an OFer the way Greg Luzinski was an OFer.
Unbefreakinglievable. Diamond suspended for six games? That’s bullshit.
Agreed. Oswalt, no big deal despite being fewer than six inches away from Diamond’s “errant” pitch.
That’s what’s ridiculous. Oswalt should get more than Diamond. He’s the one who started the whole thing in the first place.
b-b-but he wasn’t even ejected!!!
Fans bitching about it, hey??? Then it’s sixty games!! Har!
Diamond will appeal and get knocked down 1 game. Still, complete bunk.
which does the Twins no good. 5 games or 6, it’s still one start.
Since he only threw 54 pitches, bring him back on short rest and then sit for five. I know the Twins have 20 games in a row, but the appeal might push the suspension back so an off day will happen towards the end.
Diamond suspended six games. He’s appealing the decision.
Holy crap, he didn’t even hit him!
Put me in the f***ing bullshit camp on that Diamond suspension.
Is it just me, or is Deduno’s windup all over the damned place?
its not you (looks at walk rate)
Scout says Deduno has control issues. It should keep that tidbit there all game really.
I think it’s just creating plausible denial for when he beans somebody.
Heh.
But pickoffs rock.
Ugh. Catch. The. Ball.
Long run, to be fair.
maybe he needs LASIK?
what a circus.
Not bad: Seggiano (raw basil pesto, Genovese-style), on liguine w/ Parmegiano-Reggiano.
Carbo-load for tomorrow morning’s 7am 9-mile run.
made pesto earlier this week for pasta, always a hit with the family.
What’s “Genovese-style” pesto?
We were just in Liguria a month ago, and had it several times. Basil, of course, and pine nuts -- I think some garlic, and olive oil -- mixed much smoother, however, not as gritty as “regular Pesto”, and more flavorful.
The wife doesn’t usually like pesto, but really did over in Riomaggiore.
I looked it up. Genovese basil is apparently a different type, and this pesto is supposed to be pounded in a mortar. Did you pound, or use a food processor?
Store-botten, I must confess.
Interestingly, the jar says to use up in 2 weeks after opening.
tsk, tsk.
Store-botten is New Richland-speak, BTW. Also white-bread. Learned that whilst in A.L.
It’s like a whole ‘nother world once you cross out of Mower and into Freeborn.
Ugh, I can’t finish this Spookystory. Everything feels far too forced.
Wait, Spooky wrote an episode of AD?
I hate it when a story refuses to fall nicely into place. The darn thing will just sit in the back of my head and poke at me until I manage to get it out.
If you put the ending I have now in a ABC Family movie, even the kids would say “Seriously?”
meh, mine’s all concept, no meat
(sorry, meat)
You’re stealing daneekasghost’s shtick?
Hey!
Nah, his shtick is “winning.”
and timely comebacks.
Mine’s a true story. Wrote it on Monday. I’m hoping for a bronze.
I hope it’s about a bra.
That would be brass, then, right?
That was a true story too!
Mine’s loosely based on a true story. More accurately, it’s a plausible future for me as told from the past. In 20 years, it could be a true story.
In 20 years, we could have jet cars.
I hope not. People are terrible drivers in two dimensions. No need to introduce a third.
Hey, nothing wrong with parody! Just make it a bit more ridiculous, it’ll be great!
WAIT! I get 300 words this time. Oh, thank Mauer.
You aren’t alone. Except for the not finishing part.
I blinked and missed that half-inning
Dick: “I don’t remember Earl Battey…[something something]“
Just got back from accompanying the young ‘uns to PetCo; I see there have been no HBPs…
Whatcha doing in San Diego?
+ six game suspension
Pitching to Crush.
this is going to be an awesome comeback by the Twins.
If that’s all he’s got for a beanball, better send him down.
six game suspension!
Wizard rolls a 20, magic missile is a direct hit!
Really? You’re gonna sacrifice in this situation, with a mediocre rookie pitcher who struggles to find the plate on the mound?
Thankyouverymuchfor the free out.
you were saying…
I might try sac bunting to Deduno, too. He obviously can’t throw the ball in a straight line.
Deduno walks the runner to second
Or not a free out. Jeebus. That could have gotten Lexi killed.
Free outs. Zoinks, scoob.
Well, I’ve seen enough for now. I’m heading out for a walk with the wife. When I get back I’ve got sixers of 1554 and Summit Oktoberfest waiting for me.
DEDUNO LIKE A LADY!
DeDon’tKnow.
I’m so glad I get to see this game.
Yep, that’s just about enough of that.
Good lord. He has NO IDEA where the ball is going.
Keep it up, Sam. Just hit all the Rangers.
who’s the color guy tonight? Smalley? some actual analysis of all the horrific mechanics DeDon’tKnow is displaying
it’s the W.A.S.T.E.
Over-under on times they will bat around this inning?
I change my mind. There will be no joy in Twinsville tonight.
mmm, Cocoa Puff-stained milk ice cream.
Beltre with a cannon.
Ewwww. Pink TC cap in the crowd.
that’s a hit and an error.
aww, bullshit. NOT a two-base error. He had that beat out (or close enough).
Dazzle: Ricor-chet? Sounds East Coast.
Ree-cor CHET? or Reecor-shay?
Latter, if I recall. With the Dazzl-deadpan ending.
Coomdog: “This is a great place to play. I love to eat….”
Do you suppose that maybe more HRs to RF in Arlington might have something to do with having Josh Hamilton jacking a lot of dongers the last three years, Coom?
its the jetstream!!!!
Nice play for Pedro.
Dazzlemania: Players that went deep 4X gainst the Rangers:
My (quick but bad) guess: Hrbek, Nansky, Hisle, Carew.
I thought it was players the last time Twins jacked four in a game in Arlington. Didn’t play, in any case.
Be honest, I was multi-tasking.
Same reason I didn’t try to answer it.
a one-two-two-three inning?
I’m out. Someone else can carry the tune for a while.
Oh joy.
the Twins are being no hit. yeesh
Let me know if that continues into the 8th. I might tune in to see that.
6-nil in the 5th with a static-filled signal from 1500? No thanks. You’ll have to talk amongst yourselves.
Sorry, 7-nil.
no hit thru 6
Beltre is a single from the cycle. A no-hitter and a cycle in the same game would be something.
if one is going to lose, lose historically!
Has anyone noticed that the Twins should never pitch to Beltre ever?
Are you suggesting they should hit him instead?
There are plenty of Twins pitchers I wouldn’t mind seeing get a 6-day ban.
wow, great catch by Murphy to rob Doumit of a hit
It’s not as special when you’ve already seen the Twins get no hit this year.
Plouffe finally gets a hit
Sweet. Got the hit. Now time for the comeback.
Kubel’s cycle was better.
without looking, I bet Beltre’s career slash line against the Twins is something like .400/.500/1.125
Stairs-esque.
Stairs’ line: .262/.332/.478/.810
before tonight
.329/.366/.522/.888
Career numbers are .329/.366/.522
I see you get a reprieve on the Spookystory, mags. Use it wisely, eh?
Nope, I’ll take my lumps from the judges rather than not submit.
I got it sent in. The extra 100 words I forgot about helped a lot, but I’m still not in love with it.
Spooks sent out an e-mail that the deadline got pushed back ’til 2:30 PM tomorrow. Don’t know if you want to keep working on it or not, but it’s an option now.
yeah, you do know that the (original) deadline was 9pm CT, right? i’d laugh if you’d enjoyed the use of those extra words, then non-subbed by mistake.
i can’t decide if this week will be more or less disturbing than last week.
I was going to say it has to be a little less icky, but then I thought of
allsome of the implications our little group of twisted folks could put into a family reunion. Yeah, it could easily be just as disturbing, couldn’t it?Mine is going to fall into the “less disturbing” category. I hope…
dido. but i think we might see a couple “uncle” stories (which, admittedly, i thought of one and discounted).
I definitely rejected a few storylines. Fortunately none of them were “uncle” stories, which means I didn’t have to spend any time thinking about such things.
I’ve been very interested to find out the answer to this.
why must my favorite baseball team be so terrible
I believe it was SBG who once observed that the record of teams in games in which they score zero runs is not good. Kyle Waldrop had a good game in his first major league outing of the season. Other than that, well, I guess we’ll just have to settle for 88-74!
