Tonight Brett Anderson makes his first start since being traded from my fantasy baseball team to DK's. This trade was last year.

Thank Jeebus it's almost fantasy football season. Three-peat!! Three-peat!
If I beat Will, I'm totally claiming a fantasy football championship this winter too. I don't care if we're the only two in the league.
A league is a league.
Probably only sticking around for the first 3-4 innings, so I'm calling a Willingham/Plouffe! early smackdown for an early DeVries lead.
(btw Rows, sorry to be rude and run like that; thanks to you both for the company! And where's that beer review?!)
The Black Ice Black India Ale was really gud. That's all I got.
heh heh
I think only NL teams should be in the Western time zone so I only had to deal with this crap a couple of weeks a year.
This.
If the twins are gonna play the way they did tonight, I will agree. Barf.
I still want to see this guy do well. I've liked him for a while.
Joe Mays mention. Drink!
SEND HIM!!!!!
You're starting to post that when Revere is still in the on-deck circle, aren't you?
What delayed stream are you watching?
I'm on Gameday- it had just popped up that Revere had singled when I posted below.
Game is off to a good start.
TWINS FREAKIN' BASEBALL!!!
Cool.
DON'T SEND HIM!!!
hmmmmm, they didn't listen.
It's because you said the quiet part loud and the loud part quiet.
sean has more work to do
Let's just say it moved me...to a bigger house!!!
Did someone say SEND HIM!! to Willingham?
I will never buy a blue Twins cap with a red brim.
Well, now we know what to get you for Christmas.
Is this the X-Files Chris Carter, or the ex-Vikings Chris Carter batting?
So Cris Carter gave up on the whole football hall of fame thing and started playing baseball.
There was a Chris Carter who played for the Yakima Bears when I was there, too. I'd thought he made the bigs when I saw his name on a stat sheet. Then I noticed he wasn't white and decided he was probably not the same guy.
I had a Farmhouse Ale from Okoboji Brewing tonight. Gotta say I wasn't a real big fan. Now on to a homebrew stout.
Grilled chicken, Spanish rice, sweet corn, Caesar salad, and iced tea.
I made a gallon of green sun tea with lemon and honey yesterday. I'm quite pleased with the results.
I'm trying to get soda/pop out of the beverage rotation, so I'm drinking a lot more tea. And a little more beer.
I cold brew. Three tea bags in a growler. 24 or so hours. Delicious.
Tea bags? Get some loose leaf tea!
too messy in the growler (can't get my tea ball inside because the neck is narrow). This makes surprisingly tasty tea out of Lipton's.
A cogent explanation of optioning and outrighting by Dick.
Although he fialed when he said that Blackburn was outrighted to make room for Pavano (who turns out to have a bone bruise) or someone like Pavano.
No, please, someone much better than Pavano.
Carl Pavano has a bone bruise? What? Were him and Revere kissing or something?!?!!!?1!1!!
/stribb'd
How much are the Pohlads paying Mauer for each ground ball to the right side of the infield?
they aren't paying for those -- Joe throws them in for free.
Mighty generous of him.
Sigh. I'm afraid to go get a beer, lest I miss an entire Twins ups. Maybe I'll check on this team again next summer.
They'll prolly still suck.
But in new ways.
Yep, that was new.
Well, you don't see that every day.
Yikes
Okay, triple plays are always exciting.
I don't know. Right after that play Mrs. Twayn got off the couch, said "Yay" in her most sarcastic tone, and went to bed.
Maybe if she knew how rare they are...? Go bother and tell her. If she gets annoyed, tell her it's my fault.
You probably tap dance through minefields just for fun, don't you.
Can you think of a more exciting way to travel through minefields, hmmm???
She's a bright woman.
Triple killing.
Plouff-fff-e.
Well poo.
Sick pooh.
This is hard to watch.
...are the Nationals really going to bench Strasburg in the playoffs?
No.
They're going to bench him before.
See, I can get behind skipping him down the stretch, especially with a 7 game lead. But I don't understand leaving him out of the playoff rotation if there's no signs that he's wearing down.
Behold, the Power! of
BreadBoras.Hee hee
Dick (reading promo copy): The Vikings are just days away from the most important preseason game of the year. [Pause] I didn't know there was such a thing.
Me: Credit where credit is due.
He'll get reprimanded for that, but it was worth it.
heeeeyyyy, yooooouuu guuuuyyyyssss!!!11
uh, guys?
So this Billy Hamilton kid sounds pretty exciting. Steals pro record 146th base.
bootsy: i musta walked about 6 miles today. more pics tomorrow. to give you an idea of how awesome the area is, every picture is within about 1.5 miles of my hotel.
also, montreal is lousy with cathedrals.
I want a t-shirt.
go nuts.
If he can do that in the big leagues for 10 years, he'd have a shot at Rickey.
I saw earlier that the record had been broken but didn't read the story until now. I'm anxious to see him play.
I got to see him earlier this year in a Cal League game. Definitely an exciting player. Revere as a shortstop with an actual throwing arm.
Oooooookay, time to bail on this.
Reddick looks like a small furry animal has latched on to his lower lip and won't let go.
Snazzlesmack sure has given a lot of BP lately.
i missed the visual, but we'll take it...?
anyway, i'm on buffalo time, so peace out, y'all.
Dazzle's call of that inning ending double play was not a model of clarity.
I never really understood that interference rule of running on the inside of the baseline to first base and I still don't.
I see the experiment of making Plouffe play while injured is progressing well.
When I called him The Cuddyer That Was Promised, playing limpwristed while hurt was not what I meant!
At least tonight seems to be going by more quickly than yesterday.
Seriously? every de Vry half inning took like 90 minutes.
Balfour- Why can't the Twins ever have someone like this guy?
Actually, I thought getting rid of Balfour made sense. He was still rehabbing from an injury: no one knew how well he'd pitch again, and I seem to believe he was out of options or needed arbitration or something.
This game sucked. De Vry worked at a glacial pace and still could not find the plate. big pussy hit three weak grounders. And, while triple plays are cool, not so much when your team is victimized.
Twins batters had no chance against Sean Penn in the 8th. Balfour was good, Anderson excellent.
For a second there, I thought you said Sean Henn and I had to check the box score.
I could not remember whatsisname's last name. He's got a good story, however.
If the Dodgers had not moved to Los Angeles, there would be no "West Coast games". Therefore, I blame last night's game on Walter O'Malley. Anyway, I guess we'll just have to settle for 91-71!
