Game 11: Twins hosting Royals

I bought my yearly pack of baseball cards yesterday. I acquiesced to Lindsey and bought a pack from last year, just on the offhand chance that I'd get a Morneau as a Twin. I told her that the odds were ridiculously low.

So, of course I pulled a Morneau.

I also pulled this.

it's a sign!

It's got to be a sign. Of what, I don't know. Maybe it's a sign that he'll get traded for an outfielder that will later be waived so that the Twins can keep a washed up infielder as a fourth outfielder. I'm assuming reality itself wpuld collapse at that point.

What I'm trying to say is that Florimon has a .080 average that seems unlikely to improve at all. I'm guessing it will go down further by year's end.

Nolasco on the mound. Speaking of dire predictions, I'm guessi g Nolasco finishes the yesr with a 9 ERA.

GO TWINS.

        1. In the six featured posts? The top row is pre-defined, so they can appear without any comments. The bottom three are the "hot" ones and require at least one comment to appear.

      1. Suzuki tried a sac bunt, went right back to the pitcher. He tried to spin and throw Kubel out at third and the ball fell out of his glove.

  1. Another walk for Aaron Hicks (rbi walk to boot!)
    coming into the game, only batting .176, but now has 8 walks against 8 strikeouts.

  2. And finally Dick Bremer can stop whining about all these home runs the Twins are hitting, but they are solo homers. Thank you Joseph.

    1. The RFer had a ball bounce off the wall into his glove back out of his glove and Koobs kept running.

  3. I caught the gameday highlight of Dozier and when Dick said "His 4th HR on the season" my reaction was "Wait, what? Already? That seems high."

  4. MLB Gameday opening ad ran like 2 minutes - maybe I got penalized for turning the ad on Mute.

  5. I'll be expecting the Twins bullpen arms to file a grievance with the MLBPA over not getting their normal work by the fifth inning.

    1. Maybe if they were being paid hourly. Wait...can we pay our starters by the hour?

      1. can we pay our starters by the successful pitch? Successful pitch means no harm to The Win.

    1. My co-worker was so excited to see Kubel as a Twin again. I was almost positive that it was going to be a disaster.

      It's still early, but the results have been the opposite of disastrous.

      1. His dudeness only abides in Minny.

        The Diamondbacks should have just signed, oh, I dont know, Hin/.

  6. This strategy of holding the Royals to a single run is working great. The Twins should try it more often.
