  1. Dueling gamelogs! Which gets the pessimists and which gets the optimists?
    I'm out, to a concert.

    1. I can't believe anybody had the optimism to even put up one gamelog, let alone two!!!

      1. I think you are really going to enjoy Mrs Buffalo programming the videos the rest of the week here at the WGOM.

      1. I don't think the Twins have had the best luck with pitchers named Dusty.

  11. Gameday is screwed up. It's showing the Twins scored first, which we all know is impossible for them this year.

  12. Way to hold up your glove like you have a chance to catch it, ii.

  19. I think he can all say pretty confidently that the key to this inning has been Joe Mauer's sacrifice.

  20. Of course the Twins have a lead on a free night on MLB.tv when Trey's playing a game. Oh well. At least I can listen in the car for a while. Of course, this inning might be the highlight of the night.

  21. IMHO Target Field needs a big milk carton in right field. Just sayin.

    1. And every time the Twins homer, it needs to squirt milk into the stands.

        1. Who doesn't enjoy a cold shot of milk to the face on a hot summer day?

      2. True. A short fence should be added to prevent people from reaching grounders. Ideally they would just pay attention, but that never happens.

            1. These newfangled ballparks just don't have enough death traps in them.

        1. Referring to your Stone IPA.

          I had some Spotted Cow tonight. Stone IPA about 10x better.

  33. Pujols gets a fastball right down the middle...and grounds out to third.

  36. Sweet jeebus, was that mustache all Doumit needed to be able to hit the ball?

      2. What the hell is your new avatar? Is that the countdown sequence on the bomb at the end of Predator?

          2. No offense, but the countdown from Predator would have been pretty awesome if thats what it was.

              1. I will say it still holds up well today, making the re-make useless. (which is why I haven't seen it.)

              2. It's been at least ten years since I've watched it, but that's what immediately popped into my head when I saw the picture.

            1. A real youngster would have no idea what in the hell any of us is talking about.

    1. If those mustaches are their attempt to break the losing binge, then at least the losing will be humorous.

          1. I've got a goatee and sideburns for the first time in over a year- it's obviously helping!

  46. 5 of the last 6 Twins to hit have reached base. Let's see if they can manage to not score.

    2. Technically haven't all of the Twins who hit reached base?

    1. Yup, let's send him back down to AAA before his average drops back to the normal sub-.200 range.

    1. We don't want to get greedy with all the hitting and scoring and whatnot.

    2. Hamilton has 18 total bases tonight. The record in Shawn Green with 19.

  62. See, if you don't hit the ball hard at someone, it's harder for them to catch it! More soft fly balls, please!

    1. Maybe it got that strongly worded letter I sent it earlier.

      Hey Twins' BABIP,

      F--- you!

      Love,

      GH

  67. So, On the Grill: Omaha Steak beef tenderloin, corn on the cob, steamed baby potatoes, crescents, Mike's Hard Lemonade Lite, and a brownie.

    1. NY Strip au poivre w/ bok choy/broccolini/onions, toasted pecans.

    2. Chicken, fresh spinach, red onion, cucumber, tomato, and cottage cheese in a whole wheat pita. With a Magic Hat Vinyl Lager.

    3. Portabella and olive putanseca over quinoa, some beer, and now some whiskey.

    5. We made burritos with home made pintos, fried onion and peppers, cheddar jack, and a pile of alaskan IPAs.

  70. My roommate and I bet on whether Plouffe's average would be above .100 at the end of the game. I said yes, thinking that I would lose.

  72. What's the delay about? Somehow, I have to assume it's Casilla's fault.

    1. I noticed that Roy Smalley and Ron Coomer have spent more time breaking down Pujols swing than the have on any Twins player

        1. I'll get behind this nickname, although I'll be calling him desire from now on.

          1. I'm with Neil.

            But I fully expect him to transmogrify back into cubic zirconium soon.

            2. He struck out six in seven innings. He obviously hasn't learned to pitch to contact yet. Don't worry, though; the Twins will fix him in no time.

  78. Diamond tied for third in most strikeouts in a game this season for a Twins starter.

    1. And, of course, Pavano is first and second with seven and six strikeouts respectively.

  81. I'm seeing some sort of correlation between the relatively large number of hits the Twins have gotten tonight, and the fact that they have several runs on the board.

  82. seems like Komatsu has some extra base power in his bat, he is just hitting it to the wrong spot of the field

  87. Dick just said Doumit could make that play a moot point. I LOL'd.

    1. I guarantee that if Valencia gets up this inning, the Twins will have scored.

  93. Wow. Drew Butera is incredible. I know because Bert told me so. He moves and Diamond hits the target!!!!1111one1111!!!

      1. Who would have guessed that Bert would have a trite-type handle?

  105. Red Chair here.

    I keep waiting for the other shoe to drop, but it seems like we might just be winning this one. Maybe.

    1. That bat played through its injuries and you don't see it complaining!

      1. It'll make fine kindling without having to go to the dl for a month before.

        1. You'd really think the training staff would pick up on the fact that it's injured.

            1. I talked to some people, and they said they'd never heard of a broken bat.

  112. the Angels have been shut out 6 times already? oof. Twins have been shut out thrice.

    1. That would be a great Target Field promotion. A dozen free donuts for every matt capps save.
