      1. If only we mere mortals could sport a stash such as that and not look like a porn star.

      2. I wish there was a YouTube clip, but from the great show SportsNight

        (Dan is forced to ad-lib a segment.)
        Dan: You know, here at Sports Night we get a lot of mail. Most of it goes something like this: Casey, Dan, you two obviously know a lot about sports (looks around) ...but what can you tell us about legendary Italian song stylist Tony Orlando? Well--
        Pre-recorded voices: YOU SHOULD KNOW!
        Dan: You should know that Tony Orlando is not Italian. And if you guessed that the man was of Latin descent, you'd be incorrect as well. Mr. Tony Orlando hails from Greece!... We thought you should know that.

  14. Bluegrass band playing at the local this evening. But it is ~101 deg F. today. Attendance will be a game-time decision, as the mrs currently is taking a nap.

    1. Local Fox CT news org promised us that the heat would break today. Ain't happened yet. Liars and the lies they tell.

        1. Can't move fast enough. A/C compressor fried on the Subaru. Picture NBB hanging his head out the car window like a dog in an Norman Rockwell painting.

  15. News Corp is dumping a lot of money promo-ing their new FoxSports1 venture, what what the ads fail to say is that if Comcast (or your local cable provider) is going to carry that channel

    1. why the hell did Colabello only begin playing in the minors at age 28? Independent league ball for seven years? WTF?

  18. hijinx

    Phil Miller ‏@MillerStrib
    Kyle Gibson chatting w/ Scott Diamond on dugout rail. Diamond hasn't told him, apparently, that someone put a chewing-gum bubble on his hat.

  28. how in hell are the Clevelanders a game and a half back of first with this lineup?

      1. sure, but they are playing .531 ball. 4-0 against Oakland, which has the second-best record in the AL.

  29. Bud Light's using "Constructive Summer" to hype its Miguel and Dierks Bentley shows. Still a great song.

    Also, wiggle wiggle.

      1. Yup. It came on random shuffle the other day, and I pretty much had to listen to Stay Positive after it did.

        As for its use in a commercial, it's usually not something that bothers me, but the way they take out the vocals makes it generic "rawk background noise", so... I'm against this.

  30. Colabello wears #55. He is the 4th player to wear 55 since 2003. Can you name the other 3?

    1. I have a friend named Lonnie- never really thought about it before, but that is a pretty unique name.

    3. I'm fairly certain Cleveland leads the league in the number of obnoxious names.

      - Lonnie Chisenhall
      - Jason Kipnis
      - Corey Kubler
      - Michael Brantley
      - Cord Phelps
      - Vinnie Pestano

      And they have Nick Swisher on the team.

          2. I feel that if I'd been paying more than half-baked attention to the game I may have gotten that a touch sooner.

  45. terrible baserunning by Mauer, gets rewarded because he is Joe Mauer

    TWINS BASEBALL!!

  47. Do you really need to remove the lefty before facing the right-handed guy hitting .091?

    1. My MLB.tv feed seems to be a several minutes behind. Think it might have something to do with a rift in the time-space continuum. That or a really crappy netbook...

      1. Star Trek:TNG churned out about 75 episodes with a rift in the space-time continuum

  54. That must've been on those neighborhood plays at second because his foot wasn't on the base when he had the ball.

  61. Gardy so disgusted with Duensing's performance, he sends out Steinbach to make the pitching change.

  65. the best part of having Tom Kelly in the booth is the grousing that happens when the play gets sloppy.

  70. Doumit has thrown out 7 runners trying to steal (26 attempts). That was his 4th OF assist.

  71. How many times do you see it? A guy makes a great defensive play, then later goes home and watches a Kelly Wells movie.

  77. please, dont trade this guy

    Glen Perkins ‏@glen_perkins
    It's Glen RT @Indians: #MNTwins and Scott Perkins hold on for a 3-2 win for the second straight night.

  78. I was a little worried after the Kipnis homer, but that was silly. Team MVP Ryan Doumit keyed a rally to give the Twins the lead, then gunned down a runner to preserve the victory. We're still on track for 109-53!
