  19. Hey, guys! Remember about a month ago whan I said that Trevor Plouffe was going to have to prove to me that he can hit major league pitching? I think I was really able to get through to the kid....

    1. To add to what GH has said:

      BOOOOOOOOOOOOO

      Edit: grumble, grumble, auto correct, grumble

              1. It is a handy device, I'll admit. I'm generally resistant to apple products, so that's saying quite a bit.

                1. iPad? Hey, everyone, don't borrow the dude's iPad

                  I work in the heart of venture capital - Sand Hill Road - and I've noticed a disturbing trend in my office complex, which is filled with august venture firms, which remain almost entirely male (a topic for another thread). The men's restroom and the women's restroom are next to one another, and so I see this trend, up close in all its horror. I see men - grown men! rich men! - TAKING THEIR IPADS INTO THE RESTROOM, without a second thought, without even a hint of abashment.

                  iPads are today's newspapers. Never borrow a man's iPad.

                  1. Needed: foldable iPads so women don't notice stuff like that (Pocket-concealed iPhones are much more discreet).
                    Alternate need: giant iPad-sized pockets.

    Make Total Destroy!

    Don't act like you're not excited.

      1. If he keeps this up he'll force Gardy to take him out of the game before he earns his "W".

        1. To be fair, it's generally pretty easy to walk in on a game to see Blackburn giving up a bunch of hits.

      1. Yeah, if you're going to be able to run that down, you should probably have the talent to actually catch the ball. I was actually too amused to be angry.

        1. The look on his face made it look like he realized, 'Yeah I'm a power hitter, not a fielder, what the Delmon am I doing?'

  43. Phillies pheed has a phormer player as color guy. I'm not sure who it is.

    "Okay, now you've scored some runs, and as Roger Clemens always stressed to us, now you've got to go out and shut them down in the next inning. I never forgot that."

    Seriously, what is it about baseball players that makes them so dumb that they have to actually be told that a shutout inning is a positive thing?

    1. My predictive powers seem to be a bit off this season. Maybe I should try a new prediction.

  50. I think everyone who was following the Twins closely back in the Rick Reed days remember all too well Thome's ownage of Reed .444/.500/1.481/1.981. 9 HRs in 27 ABs

  61. There are only two people here who are going to enjoy the significance of the fact that the Twins knocked around Mr. Stephenie LaGrossa tonight, and will get to knock around Mr. Heidi Strobel tomorrow.

            1. There are many more people here who recognize the obscure names I referenced than I realized.

              1. Google helped. I recognized Steph but didn't remember Heidi, except for her adventure with Jenna.

  82. That's the last bloop hit they get. They've exhausted their supply for the game.

  89. Bert, I think it's important for any hitter to score three times. Or every hitter with how the Twins are going so far.

  90. Span has a HR and 3 walks, 3 runs scored this game.
    I dont want to trade him.

      1. If he did something noteable the fans could yell DREWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW. As the laws of baseball demand.

  95. Perkins has become so solid that anytime he has a bad outing I immediately suspect hangover.

  96. Phillies feed recapping the fact that the Gentleman Masher has hit five of the eight longest homers in TF history. (The others are Kubel, Nelson Cruz and Josh Hamilton)

  100. I kind of miss ragging on Capps, but he hasn't given me much to carp about lately. At least we still have his weight to make fun of.

  103. I am drinking the Plouffe Kool-Aid. I'm buying into the ubeltheory of Cuddyer-Lite. Except...if he can truly hack it as a third baseman, then perhaps he could be The-Cuddyer-That-Was-Promised.
