1. Nolascohno

2. Double E!!!!!

3. And just like that, the Twins have a lead!

4. All right Mr. Nolasco, no give back runs.

5. Doubles
   1. Cabrera (DET) 24
   2. Altuve (HOU) 23
   Pedroia (BOS) 23
   4. Plouffe (MIN) 22
   Escobar (MIN) 22

   1. That becomes more impressive when you list AB as well.

      1. not even 185 ABs
         I guess thats how one has a ~.450 SLG with only 2 dongers

         1. Doubles are underrated.

6. infield ribeye

7. TWINS BASEBALL!!!

8. The old chewing-gum-in-Ramirez'-glove trick. Har.

9. Got the FIL+MIL (PILs?) out here in H'istan this weekend. They flew first class!

   Italian hot+sweet sausages on the grill with peppers/onions on Portuguese rolls. Luxury.

   Channeling TIBN on the JamBox out on the back patio by the firepit. Hartford starting to practice their fireworks...

10. Dazzle and Provii discussing which Mpls street to name after Cap'n October for the ASG...

    1. I'll tee up Portland. Can't touch University, Hennepin, Lyndale, Washington, or 4th. Just sayin.

11. All 15 strikeouts by Kershaw.
    

    1. That's awesome. What I like are the dudes in the stands that don't move at all. Cardboard cutouts?

12. SURE.

13. Bert hates Nolasco.

    1. Like a Scott Baker pitches up in the zone too much hate.

14. Ah yes, Guerrier, exactly who I would have brought in a situation like this. In 2007.

    1. Good to see that I'm not the only one cringing in anticipation.

       1. worked like a charm

    2. who else are you going to bring in the 6th inning?

       1. Swarzak. It's the sixth inning, so you need a reliever that can get through the sixth and hopefully the seventh to get to Fien/Thielbar and Perkins.

          Based on the current bullpen though, Guerrier isn't an awful choice. He has a better FIP than Swarzak. Could pick Deduno...

          1. I thought he was being sarcastic

             1. slightly sarcastic, but mostly just wondering

                I wouldnt bring Deduno in a game where runners are on base.

15. Liam Hendriks allowed six runs in 1.2 innings tonight.

16. Bremer favorably comparing Eaton to Scott Pods ca. 2005. The White Sox would be sorely disappointed if they got Podsednik 2.0.

17. Provus needs to retire "...the dangerous [insert opposing batter] is on deck..."

18. I wouldnt mind a run or 8 this inning.

19. Bremer casually brings up and discusses OBP.

20. Our awsum outfield defense strikes again.

    1. 3 base error all the way.

21. Perkins with too many obligatories.

22. siiiiggghhhh

23. "outfielder" made this a game again

24. Gah.
    Think Perkins will throw Willingham's "defense" under the bus with Pinto's pitch-framing?

    1. I don't think he needs to -- it was readily apparent to everyone.

25. nice double play

26. EE BB.

    Not as much fun as a double.

27. I'm intrigued by the Sox's strategy to walk all the batters this inning. I wonder what their long-term plan is.

    1. Darn, they didn't have the balls to stick with their strategy. Too bad- I thought they were really on to something.

28. Ballgame. Puppies. Bedtime.

    1. Beating the Bitch Sox never gets old.

29. SAFE

30. I wanna see the white Sox bitching at the ump!

31. Mauer with the veteran leadership telling Escobar to slide
