1. I was supposed to write this game log. Why didn't the guy who was supposed to write this game log tell me the game was at 6 instead of 7? That jerk.

   1. He must have missed the sidebar saying the game was at 6 instead of 7.

2. I predict the Tiger wont score until at least the 5th inning

   1. Might be easier to predict they don't score until after 7.

3. aw nerts. rain delay

   1. Looks like it will be a while still.

4. Grounds crew readying to pull the tarp at Comerica Park.

5. Looking for an 8:05 start for Twins-Tigers.

   7:05 here. Nice night in Detroit. 44 degrees and a light rain.

6. How much is the disabled list costing each team per hour/day? The numbers on the right are pretty depressing.

7. Mauer. basehit. yawn.

8. my prediction lasted all of 3 batters. sigh

9. More first inning runs. yawn.

10. Why shouldn't Diamond push that ERA up towards 6?

    1. If he's a team player, he would do it.

11. So, diamonds are made of carbon. And carbon is often...black. And it can certainly...burn. Hmm...

    1. 

12. A strikeout! Called, but better than nothing.

13. maybe the Twins should take a flier on Derek Lowe.

14. Eject the fan!

15. I think I missed it, what happened with Plouffe? What it ruled a concussion? Are the Twins playing with a man short?

    1. Yes, 7 day DL. Colabello up.

       1. well cool.
          why isnt he playing?

          1. He played yesterday.

             1. well
                this is what happened when work gets in the way of a day baseball game.

                1. All work and no baseball make dw...something something?

                   1. makes my bank account swell with dimes

                2. Or the Twins having an awful game. I knew Plouffe went to the DL but had no idea Colabello was with the Twins, much less played yesterday until today.

16. _etroit _efense.

17. good baserunning. hope it leads to many runs

18. Another hit past a lunging Cabrera.

19. Mauer!

    Twins are now 3-6 with 3 rbi when runners are on 23 and 0 outs.

20. YES!!!!!!!!

21. Willinghammered!!!

22. The hammer is willing!

23. I see on the FSN bottom scroll the Orioles DFA'd Alex Burnett. Thats the 3rd time this season he has been DFA

    1. Bringing joy to Cole DeVries, I hope.

24. A swinging strikeout!

25. SEND HIM!!

26. evening folks.

    whatcha all doing July 12th???

    1. 'rally mohawk night'

       1. wrong part of that promotion night, dw.

27. who is in the tv booth tonight? somebody was talking what sounded disturbingly like intelligent analysis of Diamond.

    1. Roy Smalley

28. Three strikeouts, no walks, and 4/6 groundouts. I like this version of Diamond better.

29. limoncello goes well with bacon. get some dessert, Consuela.

    1. Had some limoncello down in Argentina. Nice post meal quaff, but I think serve by itself.

       1. limon PORcello.

30. righteous 'stache on Doumit. Not helping him at the plate, unfortunately.

31. Chrissy Chrissy, on the other hand, that's a pretty pathetic porn 'stache.

32. Good job getting to third on that.

33. a doink would be nice here, Sleepy.

34. gack. I'm going home.

35. *holds breath*

    1. whew.

36. Wall imminently approaching.

37. C'mon, this is tigger.

38. the Tigers had Carroll shaded so far to right that when he hit it to medium CF, Carroll got a hustle double.

39. I'm switching between Twins-Tigers, Gophers-Hoosiers, Chelsea-ManCity, and Blackhawks-Red Wings. Using twitter to tell me if I should switch to a particular game.

    1. Seems like you could get a Brady-Bunch type appl that would let you watch all of them at the same time.

       1. Soccer match over, Hoosiers pulling away... I think I'm sticking with the last 7 minutes of this hockey game (Red Wings up 1-0)

40. Bit surprised Diamond out for the sixth, but Gardy is likely a bit desperate to get any extra outs.

    1. Yeah, the bullpen is really gassed.

41. Evening, citizens. Diamond seems to be pitching okay tonight.

42. Fine work by Fien.

43. Get the feeling Fien is going to blow past the 35 appearances he recorded last year.

44. Mrs. Twayn saw the FSN feature on Buxton and told me to plan a trip to Cedar Rapids. I'm thinking Saturday July 26th, drive down that morning, catch the night game (fireworks!), visit friends on Sunday then head home.

    1. Another fun stop is Dubuque. Sportsman's bar. Siesta motel. Pizza delivery. Tall Miller Highlifes. Said enuf.

       1. Love Dubuque, great little river town with some fine Victorian architecture.

45. ham sandwich

46. Hammer'd.

47. Consuela'ed that.

48. CHARGE THE MOUND!!!!

49. Jim Mandelaro ‏@jmand1
    P.J. Walters just told me he's being promoted to #mntwins and will start this weekend. Pedro Hernandez starts for @RocRedWings on Friday.

50. Close Close.

51. Fien to Hunter: Get off my plate!

    1. what was Hunter all huffy about there?

       1. I don't know but Punto better watch out.

52. striike out.

    1. Exiit. Stage left.

53. Cabrera is giving Fien the ol stink eye too

    ummmm..ok?

    1. yea, that was bull shit.

    2. Cabrera is giving Fien the ol stink eye too FTFY

54. as the mrs says, "Loves long walks on the beach...."

55. Outs now, please.

56. Do. Not. Like.

57. uggh..dribble up the middle just out of the INFer reach, now a hit to the OF just out of the reach of Hicks.

    I mean, this has been the Twins luck lately

    1. It's a game of inches.

58. Not only did Hicks not make the diving catch, he landed on his cup as he laid out for it. Good effort, would have been a great catch.

59. 6=4=3 DP now please

60. [Joe Schultz]

    1. [And vice versa]

61. Zoinks, Scoob. Twins pull their goalie.

62. How was he not swinging on that HBP?

    1. yeah, I dont know

       but how many times has an ump made that call?

63. Whew.

    1. Back to English sport - nil nil.

64. Well that could have been worse. I guess.

65. plate ump not real good at the whole squatting thing.

    1. I believe its Cowboy Joe West

66. shoulda rubbed some dirt on it.

67. Joe F. West.

68. more cowboy Joe. gimme a break, Joe.

69. why is FSN showing super cool graphics for Miggy Cabrera?

70. Ok, thanks for playing. Walk Miggy.

71. Not a very smart bunt, Face.

72. that was a strike last half-inning.

73. OFFS. Not our night.

74. Bad luck.

75. oh my.

76. Pinball.

77. That Gander Mountain weather girl can read me the forecast any old time.

78. Valverde pitching sans glasses. Vas ist?

    1. they're in his mcDancypants?

       1. Respect fo th' Biscuit.

79. sticks the landing!

    1. ratch.

80. crap. that did it.

81. wow. Morny up to .314.

82. Joe F. West. Cowboy'd.

83. 2 feet off the plate
    STREEEEIKE!

    1. WebGem.

84. ump's got a hot date tonight...

85. that was bullshit. When the catcher sets up outside the strike zone and catches it low, that ain't a strike.

    1. FOXTrax had the pitch in Hamilton Ontario.

    2. It was nowhere close. The VERY homery Tigers guys called it "a good pitch...but Morneau didn't think so." They showed it in slo-mo and there was no acknowledgement that it was way off the plate.

86. I really miss puppies.

    1. 

87. could there be another installment of 'Great Moments in GameCast History', or whatever the name of that popular segment was?

    1. W.W.

88. This is just going to make the Twins winning streak even more dramatic. We'll just have to settle for 137-25!
