1. here we go again :/

2. Dammit, guys.

3. Anthony Swarzak will probably see action in this game.

4. Duensing is a reliever. Hopefully this start solidifies this fact for the Twins. He hasn't had an even passable start that I can remember this year.

   It's a Phelps Mill kind of day today, I think. My mom will probably appreciate the help tearing down her booth.

5. oh my

6. jiminy christmas, this is bad.

   1. i just said something similar to that.

      1. wow.

7. This game is for masochists only. I'm going to leave it on while I take a nap.

8. 67 pitches through 2. he'll be fine.

   1. He needs to stop trying to strike everyone out and pitch to contact.

      1. That's impact today.

9. TK says that Paul Molitor is/has going/gone to Beloit to help Sano with his defense.

   1. I'm not sure if that's a good thing or not.

      1. Molitor will help him master the DH position in no time.

10. Just checked in. I think I'd rather follow the Batum saga.

    1. Keep us updated.

       1. No problem. I'll set up a spam bot to post "nothing has happened, everyone's mad. Click here to enlarge your penis." every 15 minutes or so.

          1. I tried clicking on what you typed, but nothing happened to my penis.

             1. Keep clicking, it'll get there.

                1. I'm clicking as hard and as fast as I can!!!

                2. I also like checking in on 6 over there.

                   1. It seems Kahn is his muse.

                      1. He's out of this world.
                         

                         1. That is money, Bootsy.

                            1. Happy Birthday, doc!

                   2. That was supposed to nest under Canis not the erection link. Whoops.

                      1. Speaking of erections, to answer your question yesterday about them Knicks: lol comes to mind.

    2. I have read some articles about the situation, but Im still confused. KAHHHHHN!

       1. I've been checking in at CH, so I am also confuse.

          1. Just realized this is game 88 for the Twins. That has to be a good sign for Batum, right?

             1. I don't think the Twins are a good omen for anyone.

                1. I tried to make a Batum 88 onsie for the calf on nba.com but it was not allowed.

                   1. That is absolutely boo.

11. dandy catch by Bob Cobb The Maestro

12. It really sucks to suck.

13. Plouffe hasnt hit a HR in a while

14. CC to ct: helluva invitation 😉

    1. You're welcome.

       1. (also, my wife made the actual invitation herself. Thought she did a real nice job on em.)

          1. that's the first thing i noticed (well, the 2nd thing ;)). i've seen she's been on a big DIY kick lately. jane was very impressed.

15. Checking in from Wrigley. Garza pitching for the Cubs, 70 pitches in 4 innings, but his slider is killer. No Dude in the lineup.

    1. the grass looks extra green at Wrigley on WGN

16. can Casey Fien start?

17. bandbox

18. I'm getting really sick of hearing the A's announcer say "that baby is gone".

19. my theory on the increase of home runs at Target Field since the first year: the pitchers has been progressively worse.

    1. Ayup.

20. I'm out.

21. Jeff Gray is not a very good pitcher.

22. Time for that eight run inning!

23. httpv://youtu.be/o-bokeh9rDo

24. Sounds like Casey Fien pitched well, but that's about the only positive I can come up with. Sometimes you just have to try and turn the page. We'll just have to settle for 110-52!

    1. I'm starting to get worried about this feature: we're just at the point where teams have had the record you're resigning us to, but there's still 2 1/2 months left!

       1. I, for one, am excited to see how Jeff can swing settling for 80-82 into a positive.

          1. with this team, 80-82 would be a positive!

          2. When there's 40 games left!

          3. When we get to the point where we can still be 69-93! will be a dark day.
