1. So, the Duenslinger, eh?

   1. Nope. Dunsling

2. Woo! #1! #1!

3. > Warning Track Pauer!

4. Jeebus!

   Also, I'm here! But I don't know how long I'll last. At some point, I'll have to disconnect either my computer or my directv to get ready for the packers in the morning.

   1. Let's see if we can't blow this game open so you can retire early with the knowledge that the Twins' lead is (virtually) Capps-proof.

      1. That would be nice!

         Also, my stuff won't make it to my new place until apparently August 12th. So, it was nice knowing you all! Hopefully the Twins are still in it when I get back!

      2. Hmm. How many runs would the Twins need to score to feel safe about a lead? 12?

5. aren't all games against SEA right now almost shutouts?

   PAUER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

   ITS on!

   1. I should point out I have the TEX feed.

6. So, after a little bit if research, I've found that that was the Twins' first HR in just about forever. /senior memory problems

7. BURN! Love it. Hate the ranger's broadcast crew.

8. Double! No, wait--Single!

9. I'm expecting a 4-0 score tonight (assuming B.Jeebus gets 4 at bats)

10. Revere needs to start his slide earlier or something...

11. Time to make the switch from 5.1 to stereo...

12. Yeah, he has pretty good mound presence, Dazzle...until he gives up a HR.

13. Duenslinger hitting his spots.

14. GO BOOM

15. CUDDY WENT BOOM!

    Sorry I'm a little late to the game.

16. Nice two-bagger, Laddie!

17. Mauer saves again!

18. Nice slide tackle at home, Laddie!

19. Revere leads rookies in SB. So there's that.

20. Heads-up baserunning there, Cuddles.

21. I'm not sure that was a good idea, Cuddy!

22. huh. quiet `round here. is there a mini-caucus going on somewhere?

    1. There's a mini-caucus of one going on in my liquor cabinet tonight.

       1. Pleased to meet me.

       2. Dido.

       3. oh, hey, you're celebrating, right?

          1. Correct. Celebrating exactly what, I'm not sure yet, but definitely celebrating something being in the rearview.

             1. The rear view mirror is a great place for that.

             2. Sometimes just being done is enough reason. When I was done with my thesis, I went and tried my best to drink Prague dry (Hint: I lost)

    2. There's a mini-caucus...IN MY BELLY!

23. Cuddy playing Monkey See, Monkey Do with Mauer today.

    1. I wanna see Mauer pitch to Cuddy one of these days.

24. Somebody is bidding $1600 to spend one inning in the booth with dicknbert? I'd spend $1600 for one inning without them.

    1. Wow. The Citadel must pay a HUGE salary!

       1. College professors actually get paid a lot less than people think. 😛

25. Evening everybody, just got home from taking the Mrs. out for dinner to celebrate our 20th anniversary. Nice to see we actually have a lead.

    1. Cheers to you and the missus!

    2. Happy Anniversary, pallo!

    3. Also, home by 8:30? You'd think it was your 60th. 😉

       1. no, that's about right for the 20^th as well

       2. Dinner & drinks and home to nurse our colds. Nothing like a good head cold to make you feel romantic!

          1. I was smacked upside the head with a nasty cold, myself. All that phlegm makes me hot.

26. The dude mixing white russians, there.

27. Uh oh.

28. Those kids running out on the grass whenever they think there is a homerun always makes me think "that's hick as hell".

29. Also YDNROJM.

30. Gameday says injury delay, what up?

    1. The throw from centerfield hopped past Casilla and the Dunce twisted a knee backing up the play.

       1. Thanks, I'm operating with no sound, which does have its benefits.

31. Yet another dinner at the Lowbrow. Sheenie and I have spent way too many evenings there in the past few months. Killebrew Root Beer FTW!

32. CC to rowsdower:

    From Mrs. Hayes: "Rowsdower, Rowsdower. Bippity boppity Bowsdower."

    (And happy anniversary!)

    1. Tell Mrs. Hayes thanks from Rowsdower, Zap Rowsdower.

       1. Hey Rows -- DJ's Dugout 8/8 (Red Sox)?

          1. Rhu I'd say yes but that's the night before the wife's neck surgery (she's getting herniated disks fused just like Justin Morneau!) and unless I can convince her to come with I don't think I should be leaving her home alone. Not if I want to see my 21st anniversary.

             1. well, duh!

33. Alright gents, it's been a pleasure as always. See you in a couple weeks!

    1. Have a safe and event free move! Remember whatever happens you'll laugh about this years from now.

    2. httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hYYTfBUgH_o

    3. Probably a little late, but good luck with the move.

34. Wow...walking into a game two hours old with less than 60 LTEs had me convinced we were getting mauled.

    1. And I, too, am a caucus of one. Mirror Pond here.

       And I, too, wish many more years to Rowsdower.

       1. I was mistaken earlier. There is another man attending my mini-caucus. His name is Glen. Glenfiddich.

          1. Aw, man. That kid's only like twelve years old!

             1. Have you ever met DK? I'm not sure he's a day over twelve.

                1. That must be why I like this stuff so much.

35. Oooh, I just earned a Duensing badge on gameday because he has 6 K's.

    1. Congrats! That and $1.50 will buy you a bottle of Coke.

36. I feel some Crapps coming on.

    1. They make pills for that now.

       1. They should make him take some before each appearance.

37. Arlington plays "Hit the Road, Jack" even when the guy went six and two-thirds and leaves with a three-run lead, eh? Maybe they should take that song on a case-by-case basis.

    1. And now "Na Na Hey Hey Kiss Him Goodbye" for Capps, who killed their rally last inning.

       1. Good thing I don't have that job. I'd probably play "She's Leaving Home".

          1. At Yakima County Stadium, when a manager came out to make a pitching change, we played "Torn Between Two Lovers." I thought that was fairly inspired, on its own scale.

       2. They can play the chicken dance after the last out in the 9^th, too, far as I'm concerned.

38. Hamilton went and got that one.

39. Uh-oh did something happen to Laddie?

    1. Something did, but he's attempting to walk it off in the dugout, so it's not terrible.

       1. Bert thinks it's a cramp. So, he'll probably miss two months.

          1. If Bert said he was out for the season, we could safely assume he's dead.

40. I just came by to say...

    DUDE!!!

41. Dude adding to his trade value.

    1. Aw, that makes me sad.

       1. I felt kinda crummy typing it, but reality bites.

       2. I'll be bummed if/when Kubel gets traded/leaves, but I'm probably irrationally attached to him because of all the RonDL/TynyDH/etc. crap we had to put up with in the DH spot before he established himself.

42. that was a Smack, Kuby!

43. Kubel!

44. The dude just peed on Texas' rug.

45. DUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUDE!!!!

    (Ok, I'm still actually here, but thanks for the well wishes! I'll be gone for real soon.)

    1. We won't get a chance to miss you if you won't go away, GreekHouse.

46. KUBES!

47. There goes Nathan's club record-breaking save.

    1. BOSO!

    2. The Dude peed on meat's recap, too.

48. Why would the Rangers waste another reliever down six?

49. I really, really hope the Dude is a Twin next year.

50. Dick, the Twins have a six run Lead. Pinch running Butera for Thome isn't a big risk. I doubt that a Twins pitcher will bat in this game.

51. And with the save opportunity gone, Swizzlestick gets his chance.

52. C'mon Sweatstain!

53. Boo run.

54. Summersausage for everyone!

55. Wow, it feels like ages since the last comfortable win. Maybe it hasn't been, but it still feels like it.

56.
