Sorry, busy night. Here's a Twins game log, should you need it.

FSN missed the first out of the game because they were still in an ad break. I hope that is not an omen.
I have to admit, losing the WASTE from the broadcast team has had a positive impact. It let them move Jamie Hersch into the postgame filler slot and bring Marne back to do field reporting.
Escobar as designated hitter. Shades of the Tyny DH.
Here we go. TWINS BASEBALL!!!!
Oh jeeze, Suzuki hit by a screaming foul ball while he was in the batters circle. GAH
Should have kept his shin guards on. Man, that's gotta hurt.
That was a nice relay!
Two straight walks with two outs on the board. Focus, Gibson. Focus.
Rex Hudler in the FSN booth. Why or why must it be intermission of the hockey game.
Whenever I'm really annoyed at the awfulness of Dick'n'Bert, I remind myself that Rex Hudler and Steve Physioc somehow were in a booth together. Somehow, Hudler has made it to a Twins broadcast (thankfully, on mute between the first and second periods, but meet deepest sympathies to anyone who has to listen to him).
Jeebuis, Gibson. The second period can't start soon enough.
Lance Johnson was one of my Top 10 favorite players during my teen years. Since he played for the Cubs and Sox, he was on WGN a lot and I have had a fascination with triples hitters/speedsters
I loved the idea of a guy hitting 20 triples, since that was the first time it had happened in since I became aware of baseball.
I also gawked at Wilson's baseball card the first time I saw it, plus he was a Royal, and I liked the Royals (Brett was my favorite player growing up).
Surprisingly, since 1950 hitting 20+ triple is a rareish (is that a word?) thing. I count only 7 players. I would have guessed close to 20, especially in the 60s and 50s.
Cristian Guzman, Jose Reyes, Deion Sanders, Craig Biggio, and Carl Crawford
So, I just got home and tuned in at the top of this inning. My bad.
I turned on the hockey game right before the first goal. Clearly, I was a good luck charm tonight. Sorry, Twins, if that's the case, I've gotta go with the Wild tonight.
Did a similar thing at my house. I thought I'd recorded the game on CNBC (because it said, "Stanley Cup Playoffs: St. Louis Blues at Minnesota Wild - Game 3") and found that I'd recorded the modern equivalent of Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous ... how is this even on television?
When I tried to start my recording and noticed the error, the game was already 1.5 periods in and I missed seeing Pominville's goal live by like 12 seconds.

Nine.
oooh, Dozier misses a HR by about a foot to the left.
Arcia's defense in LF makes me yearn for _elmon Young patrolling that area. wooooof
Blaine Boyer in. Because this situation is too dangerous for Tim Stauffer.
Little leaguers in the outfield. Oh wait, little leaguers would've made that play.
This Orlando guy for the Royals has 5 triples already. FIVE.
Since 1985, there have been five players to hit 20+ triples in a season. Can you name them?

We'll just have to settle for 154-8!
