1. We're in section 325 if anyone else happens to be here.

2. I dont expect first inning runs off of Hughes. boo

3. Quadruple E!

4. Escobar'd!!

5. Oh crap, Parms PHing for Santana in the 2nd inning.

6. Booojols

7. Last year's model pitching tonight.

8. GENE

9. Escobar might get his 40 doubles. Now at 34.

10. Lineup is going to do whatever it can to get Phil his 16^th

11. Just won bidding on a Gibson RC auto card and a #/199 Wimmers auto card ... not bad.

12. That's it Hughes. Save your pitches and hit the guy instead of walking him.

    1. +1 well worn Old Hoss Radbourn baseball card

13. Prior to this season, there were four pitchers with more wins than walks (and qualified for the ERA title) in the modern era. Carlos Silva equaled his win total in 2005. Iwakuma and Hughes are on pace to match Silva's feat.

    1. If Hughes or Iwakuma manages to exceed their walk total, it will be the first time it's happened in the AL, ever.

       1. That is an amazing stat

    2. How well did Saberhagen do back in the day?

       1. He's the most recent to accomplish the feat, in 1994.

       2. Hughes also tied Saberhagen with an 11/1 K/BB ratio for the best ever after tonight. Of course, Saberhagen's was for a full season. So, Hughes has a chance at being the best for a full season.

14. Bremer worried about sending in a patchwork of relievers to finish the game because Perkins is unavailable. I say just ride Hughes until the 27th out.

    1. It's September -- you can rest in the offseason!

15. good God, Fien'd again

    1. not going to be the AL wins leader with this bullpen 🙁

16. Bullpen/Hicks doing their best to not let Hughes make history.

17. SIGGGGHHHH

18. Heh, the Angels have a player named Cron. I hope his parents named him Tab.

    1. My.

19. oh geez.

20. Should have rode Hughes for 27 outs

21. Right in the Poo-hole.

    1. being in StL, that was old 12 years ago

       1. He does that to people.

22. Le sigh.

23. Why do the Twins hate the A's?

    1. They let the A's beat up on them too.

    2. The Twins are now 4-19 against California teams, including 3-1 against the Padres. So, 1-18 against good California teams.

24. F*ck these guys. F*ck this team. I simply will not pay one more iota ofattention to this club in 2014. I was really looking forward to bringing my firstborn son to a Minnesota Twins baseball game this fall. F*ck that. Not. Gonna. Happen.

    1. Now, now. This just makes the inevitable Vikings collapse that much sweeter.

    2. You're like 2 months late with this, aren't you?

25. I blame Mauer for being on deck.

26. It's my wife's fault, the Twins are 0-11 at Target Field when she attends.

27. "He's in the cleanup spot to drive the baseball. 'Get 'em over' is for the little guys. 'Get 'em in' is for the big guys," the manager said. "He's just trying to put the barrel on it and hit it hard. If the guy makes a mistake, he will hit it in the seats. To try to tell him to slap the ball to right, I won't do that."

    But I thought Gardy had a srubinni fixation!
