Game 56: The Minnesotas vs. The Milwaukies

Whoa, I'm shocked I got this one in on time. I'm in Manchester for two weeks, so I likely can't follow the team. But, my rental car is a six speed diesel, so there's that.

Anyway:

Deduno (1-3, 3.86 ERA) vs. Gallardo (3-3,3.56 ERA)

Dedudes and his zoomy look to avenge Gibson from last night against the first place Brewers at the swampy confines of Miller Park.

I made it to England and I'm fairly surprised by how often I'm running across terminology differences that are giving me pause and making me have to think about communications. Truly two countries separated by a common language. I also did some driving around between the hotel and the airport (because the Apple maps gave me shoddy directions), and I'm struggling a bit to understand where the left side of the car is, so I've hit a couple of curves on left turns. I've also missed a couple of gears because my left hand refuses to do what my right hand does naturally. Starting today I should get to actually see some of this country instead of just the dumpster outside my hotel room window.

  1. Gameday just keeps getting worse and worse with every new "update" they do. At least Classic is still available...

  2. Dazzle and Uecker talking about the old days and how they were "friends" because they hung out a lot. Man, I wish I could hear some of the drinking stories they're omitting.

    1. Evidently Ueker's nickname for Gladden was "Animal". When Provus came to the Twins booth from the Brewers he thought that was Gladdens nickname, he'd never heard Dazzle or Wrench.

  3. Francisco Rodriguez is pretty much a one inning guy: 757 career games, 794.1 innings pitched.

  4. Glen Perkins wins the internets

    I just did my best Ron Davis impression in these damn throwback jerseys.

  5. I've been fighting the beginnings of a throat cold, so I took the evening off and watched NOVA's special on D-Day and did some reading; it was 6-2 in the bottom of the 5th when I checked the scroll on the 4ltr. Well done, guys

    1. that NOVA episode was pretty interesting. And a great/terrible reminder that we really don't want to have to do that ever again.
