The little one's birthday was yesterday, and his birthday party is today. Therefore, this is the game log you're getting. Although, in compete fairness, with the ugly way the team has been playing, and the even uglier way that the team has been run (training staff, personel decisions, etc) it's pretty unlikely that I would've put much more effort into it, anyway.
Nolasco takes on Pineda. If that sounds line a recipe for a good game...then your standards are probably in need of some calibration.
If I do happen to get any time to watch sports today, it'll be the US Open.
Dustin Johnson with the lead after two. I hope he can hang on. He's had so many near misses.
Leathah!
So MLB gameday can't handle a virgulilla on the 2nd N of Nunez. So sad.
I'll echo the Korean comment in the Twins Facebook post re Park: He will today hit the home run.
yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyup!
How about that?! They knew what they were talking about.
Nice 3'er, there. Make it a run, dudes.
PARKtastic!!
Joe, you're running out of time; you need to get your butt on base dude

Boo.

effenheimer.
Escobar and Suzuki back to back jacks.
Twins still lose.
yuck
It's too bad there wasn't a left handed slugger on the bench to pinch hit against a very tough right handed reliever.
All those extra relievers were the key to being able to play matchup.
On the radio postgame, Molitor said one of the factors in pulling Boshers and bringing in Jepsen was the Boshers was pitching for the third consecutive day. Well, who's brilliant idea was it to use him Friday night in a blowout?
A couple of us pointed out that pulling Dean that early Friday meant he was going to burn up four or five relievers in a game that the Twins were likely to lose anyway. And while it's fun to say "I told you so", it's not like this was some genius insight. Anyone with basic knowledge of how a baseball season works knows that you can't just manage for today's game--you have to keep an eye on tomorrow, and the next day, and the day after that. Molitor didn't do that basic thing Friday night, and it contributed to the Twins losing a game Saturday.
I found where the term "system failure" came from.
I thought this was going to be in response to Pepper's cake LTE.
