1. Dig the new Blue Jays uniforms.

2. Just saw on the ticker that Liriano had a complete game. Four hits, two runs, four walks, and seven strikeouts.

   1. being in the National League has done wonders for him.

3. Coomer demanding Encarnacion get off his lawn.

4. the Wild signed Matt effing Cooke.
   boo

5. when are the Twins going to bunt on Buehrle?

6. Bremer and Coom talking about the lack of soft tossing right handed pitchers. They are missing Bradke.

7. Dick and Coomer wondering why there aren't any crafty righties. They seem to have forgotten one: Maddux. He had a better fastball in his earlier years, but from 2002-2008 his fastball averaged 85 or less.

   1. and a strike zone [ t h i s b i g ]

8. so we go from stupid Cano to stupid Bautista.

   1. that was a big ol fat "hang em and bang em". oof

9. There's the first of likely many home runs over the series.

10. @Brandon_Warne: Former #MNTwins reliever Anthony Slama has signed with the York Revolution of the Atlantic League. (h/t @SethTweets)

    no one wanted Slama.

    1. Not surprising. No one wanted him last offseason and he's done nothing to change that.

11. GOSO.

12. finally a team feels RISPy. Too bad its the maple leafers

13. Once again, I am in no mood for this. I'm going to go find something else to do

    1. a self lobotomy?

       1. At least a bottle in front of me

       2. Watched "Clueless" with the wife tonight.
          She's been watching so many Jane Austen adaptations, I wanted to see that again.

          1. I need to rewatch that. I was completely charmed on the initial viewing. WTF ever happened to Ms Silverstone? Thought she was bound for stardom after that.

             1. She was a mild star for a while, but was mostly asked to do these sexually-charged roles that as an actress she just couldn't handle. More innocent, comedic roles probably would have kept her successful but that's not the way it went down.

                Then she was a sidekick in Batman and Robin, a film that certainly didn't help anyone that was in it.

                1. Unless they wanted to become a politician.

                   1. Not a much as Predator. I got two governors from that movie.

                2. Yeah, that's a bummer. She was decently funny in this, had a nice amount of good-hearted innocence matching up with the Austen original. But she's never really sexy as much as cute. I don't remember the Aerosmith videos well enough, but maybe doing more funny things could have led to a more lasting career.

                   1. cripes, that's just what spooky said.
                      Shorter AMR: yep, you're right, spooky.

14. SkyDome has gotta be the last 'cookie cutter' stadiums in MLB (think Three Rivers in Pitt, the Vet in Philly).
    If it was built a few years later, I wonder if the design would have been drastically different.

    1. Old Busch in StL

       1. Busch II, I think you mean. Or do you still think of Busch I as Sportsman's Park?

          1. dude, Sportsman's Park is Sportsman's Park

             1. not from 1953 to 1966, it wasn't.

                1. whatever. In StL, it's Sportsman's Park.

    2. I forgot about the Colosseum in Oakland.

15. Let me tell you, this next kid, their middle name will not be Correia.

    1. What about Glen?

       1. Byron more likely.

16. the last time the Twins won on a Friday was Sept 28 2012

17. that was a bone headed base running play by Reyes

18. Doogie with a meandering interview with Terry Ryan, but its worth the read.

19. It's like Brett Cecil wanted to be a real-life model for the "Deal with it" meme.

    

20. Robbie Inc at the 'Friendly Confines'

21. Good news: lack of internet access means I haven't been watching the past few games
    Bad news: I'm watching tonight's game

22. Ticker now reporting that Wild traded Setoguchi to the Jets for a draft pick.

    1. PM Bouchard is also gone. Signed with NY Islanders
