Game 89: Orioles 7, Twins 19!
Couldn't leave that one without a recap, though I did not see it or hear much of it.
Twins scored 7 runs in the bottom of the first, added 1 in the second, 2 in the third and another in the fourth. It wasn't until the fifth that they failed to score during the home-half of an inning. Meanwhile, Baltimore didn't put up a crooked number until the fifth and Diamond did what he had to do with all of the run support: finished 6 innings and allowing 5 runs on 9 hits while striking out 3 and walking 1.
Every Twins starter had a hit except Doumit who still managed to pick up 2 RBI and a run scored. Morneau went 4-5 to continue his hit streak as did Plouffe. Span only managed 5 RBI on 3 hits including 2 doubles. Mauer jacked a donger, just because he felt like it.
Oh, and just for fun, the Twins added 5 more runs in the 8th to get that nice round number - 20 hits on the night.
Thome did not hit.
Capps gave up a 2-run homer to Chavez and is hurt again.
2012 Game Logs: Game 90 O’s @ Twins

It probably would have been smarter for the Twins to save their 19 runs for a pitcher like Evan Samuel Deduno rather than for pretty boy Nicky Scott Diamond.
I was starting to worry that the Twins might not win the division this year but to echo the Padre "I feel confident that if we score nineteen runs every game, it'll happen!"
Third (Almost) Monday Movie Day
I haven't actually seen any movies recently, but I'm guessing others may have. I just wanted an excuse to laugh at translations of domestic movie titles.
Oh, I also heard Breaking Bad is back, so maybe some people want to discuss that. It certainly did well in ratings, breaking its previous high of something with 2.9 million viewers for the opener.
Minor Details: Games of 7/16
Oswaldo Arcia hits a three-run walkoff for New Britain. Max Kepler hits a grand slam. A LEWWWWW! sighting!
Merle Haggard “I Am What I Am”

On the Tonight Show, Feb 2011. My fave song off Merle's last two albums.
Merle's playing at the State Theater a week from tomorrow. Tickets were too pricey, but I haven't checked resale prices lately...
