Thome's quest for 600 is all we got left right now, other than maybe avoiding the cellar or passing the White Sox to make ourselves feel a little better but not really accomplish anything constructive. At this point, I think it would take a miracle to get to .500.
Lefty David Huff is pitching and it's a day game after a night game, so it might be a good day for Thome to take a break, especially on the road. I'm sure it's no great secret that the Twins want him to get to 600 at home to give the fans something to cheer about. However, Thome is 4-for-8 with two home runs and three walks (1.886 OPS) vs. Huff and those are numbers Gardy has a hard time ignoring.
Oh yeah, some kid named Slowey was recalled from the minors to take Scott Baker's spot in the rotation. I hope he takes the ball and shoves it up Gardy's ass.

glad to see that good ol' SCTF positivity 😉
Pollyanna woke up on the wrong side of the bed? 😉
That didn't take long.
Does this guy have an out pitch? I forget.
Not a great start for slowride.
apparently, ML pitchers are a little tougher than AAA pitchers, eh?
So my stuff is allegedly getting here today, although the woman from the company seemed doubtful it would actually show up. They picked it up from my apartment in Ames on July 28th and the last day of my spread was August 12th. Even August 12th seems like a really long time to get my stuff here, but now I'm kinda pissed. It seems as though they agreed to move me without really ever having any plan as to how to get my stuff here.
How much of a truck did your stuff occupy?
Not a lot, I don't think.
this is going to be one of those games, isn't it?
Dick just said W-L isn't the best indicator of a pitcher's ability, nor is ERA.
Am I dreaming?
Only when it relates to Kevin Slowey, naturally.
Even the weather hates Slowey. Sigh.
if he comes back out after the delay, is that considered a relief appearance?
This is bogus. Now I don't even have anything to do while I sit around waiting for my alleged movers.
Slowey chatting with Valencia in the dugout. One scapegoat/pariah to another.
Rain delay?
Got Runner daughter moved into her college apt., wireless is established, and soon time to wander campus. Go K-Slow!
anyone paying attention hear when they're planning on starting again, if at all?
I was wondering that too. With MLB.tv, I don't get much info, but it seems at least that they haven't cancelled it yet, which makes me think they'll still play ball today.
I just hope, if they do, someone remembers to tell the Twins.
at this rate, the ground crew might be just as useful.
From LEN:
So if you have a couple errands you need to run.....
Or a couple beers to drink, in my case.
Game's off, guys. Sorry.
Well, at least the Twins won't lose today.
If you want some baseball to listen to, New Britain is playing a doubleheader in Bowie that started at 3:00 Central this afternoon.
Rock Cats sweep to get within one game in the loss column of the final playoff spot.
