    1. probably that doubleheader in ChiTown a few years back where the Twins score 78 runs and Justin Morneau had 6 home runs*

      * these numbers may be made up

      1. looking at the box scores, a guy named Mike Durant played. I have no idea who that is.

  5. I'm still a little confused about who Deduno is, but watching him pitch is a real chore.

      1. You could have published a 500-page biography and I'd still be confused about why he's suddenly starting for the Twins.

        1. How about you write a 500 word fictional biography on him to keep yourself entertained tonight?

  9. I am celebrating meat's new found employment by myself here so I am admittedly a tipsy. With that said, man, the Twins really mishandled this whole Matt Capps situation. We had been joking about how it was going to turn out for the past month and then it turned out exactly as we knew it would. That is such a joke.

    The Minnesota Twins training staff makes me want to smoke cigarettes, ugh.

    1. Me too. Between the terrible training staff and Wild Bill's tenure as GM, I'm surprised I didn't start.

    3. Heh, you're not the only one celebrating my new employment. Thank god for autocorrect.

    3. I'm in my own basement trying to cram more last minute legal bullsh*t into my head...maybe I should start a blog?

      *that I'll likely never use once I pass this fucking test.

            1. Yeah /grumble, grumble/ that's what I keep saying...it'll be true eventually!

              1. Think of all the dumbass lawyers out there. They passed the bar. This test is to keep out everyone stupider than those guys.

                You'll be fine.

                It doesn't make the process any less stressful, but it's true.

                1. That's the line of thinking that kept me going through seminary. I thought of some pastors I'd had, and I thought, well, if they got through this...

                  1. I was much more comfortable taking my licensure test for my masters than my bachelors. After seven years in the field seeing who passed the master's test, I felt pretty confident.

                    1. This statement is not part of any express warranty.

                      (Sorry, I spent all of yesterday on Contracts and couldn't help myself)

  12. it feels like the Twins should have 5 runs on the board. But its probably going to end up a 2-0 O's win.

  14. My wife and daughter are upstairs. Miss SBG is sleeping and my mother and wife are watching some decorating show and kicked Butch and me downstairs. This is the first trip this year that my two girls have accompanied me. That, and this being the only trip here this month makes it the best month of the year.

  19. Dick still ragging on the fact that no Twins pitcher has reached the minimum number of innings to qualify for leaderboards.

  21. FYI: The Twins are carrying 13 pitchers because they have to.

  22. I am pretty sure Dick has called Britton Greinke at least 3 times tonight.

  23. Are we still doing that BOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooooooOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooooooOOOOOOOOO! thing?

      1. Thanks. The commute is killer, but it's a job in fine art which is hard to come by. I'm pretty stoked.

        1. I took a new job last year which involves a 22 minute drive to work instead of taking the bus. As far as Buff commutes go that is about as awful as it gets. Best wishes, buddy.

          1. No kidding, 22 minutes from buffalo could easily land you in Canada if you're not careful.

  35. I am starting to worry that New Guy isn't working on that 500 word biopic.

  36. Oh goodness, no. Do not IBB to get to the Gentlemen Masher.

  39. Is Bert phasing into broadcast retirement? This is a mildly serious question as I've been without Internet for a bit, but also have noticed that he's not in the booth too often this season.

    1. Dude gets more vacation time than.... someone who gets lots of vacation time.

    2. I think he is. I believe he said he's broadcasting "only" a bit over 100 games this year. I'm all for rotating commentators, so this is a welcome development.

    3. He got into the Hall. He no longer needs Hawk to point him out and say that he needs to be in the Hall.

  41. so, I turn on the game and Dazz is talking about Revere "turning" on a pitch. For a single.

    2. If you check the wayback machine on the book, I declared my first son's name was going to be either Landon or Donovan after the Algeria game. Donovan Mauer MagUidhir has a ring to it, I think.

    3. We're not having kids, and we've already got names picked out for our first two dogs, so maybe I'll just change my last name to Mauer. Zack Mauer has a nice ring to it.

  50. I'm calling it a night. I look forward to seeing another 13 runs put on the board in the morning.

        1. I was talking about the Oakland series. Which I watched in all of its horrificness on local cable. Ugh.

  58. I've never heard a home run call include commentary in the middle of it. They just played a highlight from the Padres: "And he hits it way back to the opposite field -- he's doing better at that! -- it's way back and it's gone!"

  59. BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

    and I mean that in a totally non-Mauer way. I wanted JI JIM to swing the damn bat.

  63. "teetering towards the .500 mark"??? 11 games under is NOT "teetering towards the .500 mark."

    1. I think that phrase is just indicating moving in that direction, much in the same way you could say that when I go into my living room I'm teetering toward Alaska.

      1. And when I kick the pearock in the garden, you could say I'm digging a hole through the center of the planet to China.
