So we swept the doubleheader. That was fun. Let's press on toward a sweep of the 'series' variety.
Today, Mike Pelfrey against somebody named Andre Rienzo. Rienzo's making his third major league start.
I predict a riot...of runs. Lots of runs. Also, lots of Twins strikeouts, but as long as they also give us the lots of runs, I'm okay with that.
Huh, it appears that the broadcast map was wrong. I seem to have the twins game.
I won't apologize to Fox for my comments, though.
Dick Stockton just told me that all the twins runs in the double header came via double header.
Hmm. I didn't realize the Sox traded Thornton and Rios as well.
Rios was traded last night
That does explain it some.
yep, going to have to mute this game.
This is certainly not an A-plus broadcast duo.
fun fact! Dick Stockton was on lead vocals for Carlton Fisk's 1975 World Series home run

I don't predict this ending well.
Ive gone down a rabbit hole on YouTube and found this gem
'the Twins are on the run in 1991'

oh my
Well that was.... Terrible
Ryan Doumit might be a better OFer than Chris Colabello. yikes
This is Colabello's 8th game in the OF, sixth start for the Twins. In 9 seasons in the minors, he's played a grand total of 24 games in the outfield. Doumit has started 98 games in the outfield in the major leagues, so I would expect him to be better than a first baseman playing an unfamiliar position.
So is this the All-Star game or something?
No punching in the bullpen for this homer.
MOUNTIE UP!!!!!
eff small ball
HRCIA
Arcia and Morneau like that bullpen
Sharks still more awesome than piranhas.
Bert just called Punto a "piranta".
some things never change.
another double for Dozier. 25 for the season!
I might get a NSMC on Dozier
Mike Pelfrey is the 2013 version of Carl Pavano.
I am looking forward to video.
good thing 80% of the country is getting that game on FOX
productive out
*drink*
re: Danks' bros -- Atteberry: "First pair of brothers to share a start since 2004..." Aren't the Upton's brothers?
Ah -- the Alomars, both on the White Sox
Pair of brothers? Wouldn't that be two sets of brothers?
what's wrong with "pair of brothers"? It's not like "pair of twins" or anything.
Pelfrey is pretty great at battling back for an 0-2 count to get the walk.
Name that play: 2012 (or possibly very early 2013)

Hey, I have this game on TV! Sweet. Wish I'd checked on that yesterday.
Observations:
1. Pelfrey sucks at pitching
2. Our corner outfielders suck at catching fly balls
3. Listening to Dick Stockton on fly balls feels just like Bremer is there.
Swing sore is making the sweep more difficult.
Sweepshot.
I wish they'd just decide to trounce the Sox instead of setting up for the heartbreaking comeback defeat, but whatever.
*sigh* the lawn's not getting any shorter
The White Sox must have been taking notes on how to waste a lead-off double.
too bad OFerguy didnt lose that ball in the sun.
Looking at the boxscore...
"Hello Wall, my old friend. I've coming to hit you again."
So I guess we won't win a hundred games after all. We'll just have to settle for 99-63! That should still win the division, right?
