Happy 4th of July! What can be more American than watching baseball in the sun, eating a hotdog, popcorn, and washing it all down with a Coke or a beer?
Gibby on the mound for the Twins, let's hope for some fireworks but only when the Twins are at bat.
I can't get Gameday Audio to launch on Chrome or Opera. What's up with that?
finally got it to work in Firefox.
for some reason, mlb.com's audio button keeps trying to send me to mlb.tv, which I do not have. It then fails to launch because Flash is disabled in Chrome. Oy.
Not good.
Apparently Escobar is feeling ok.
So, what's up with Dozier?
back soreness, according to b-r.
Byron, full count and down the heart of the plate
Gibson with 2 Ks. In one game?
atta boy, Robbie!
Dazzle on mic sitting on the foul track, and a fun interplay between Cory and him. Nice entertaining change of pace

If you are a guest, show yourself!
I only see one guest

Buxton! 2-hit day already! He's over the Mendoza Line (barely).
Hi everybody!
NormPrinter!I'm liking the lay of this game so far.
Those of you that had "Rickershay" on your Twingo, go ahead and check it off.
Albert certainly pooholed that one.
Dazz made it clear that solo shots don't hurt.
Buxton: Can't stop him. Can only hope to contain him.
I wasn't watching, but my guess is that after Buxton's homer, Dick Bremer said something like, "Well, home runs are okay, but what he really needs to do is hit the ball on the ground."
Nope. They talked about how strong he is and it shows that he can still hit for power without the leg kick.
Ugh. That's dumb, Robbie.
what Official Scorer would consider a one-out bunt (in the American League) a sacrifice? That's dumb.
Yeah, that was definitely an attempt at bunting for a hit and a poorly timed one.
Walk Mauer to get to Sano? Heh.
crax.
I would like those special Twins hats a lot more without the goofy star logo.
Kintzler is not good enough for obligatories or free bases.
Gibby hasn't been anything outstanding, but since he came back from AAA he's pretty much kept the team in the ballgames and lowered his ERA all but one game
every team needs 4th/5th starters who can reliably get through 5-6 innings and give the team a chance to win. I'll take a couple of guys in the rotation with 4.50 ERAs.
In June, his slash line allowed was 304/362/519! AND that was a 100-point improvement in OPS Allowed from April-May!!!111one111!!!
Kintzler is not filling me with confidence right now.
And neither is Adrianza.
Sano, tho
according to my tv you're either in the future, or you're a witch.
MLB.tv may be better about being up to the minute than FSN because I used to be the one who thought everyone was a vvitch.
he's not had a great day with the glove.
Easy
Whew.
"Same" time.
right. some truth in advertising, huh?
Celebrating with one of these.
A little sweet for the style, but tasty. Some funk, lots of dark fruit. Over-carbonated with a big, fluffy head.
Mmmm, flemish.
Celebrating with one of these.
The name made me think "gimmick" but it is really tasty. So much so that I forgot to watch out for the 8.14 ABV.
Padres do us a favor but Mariners do not, so Twins 1.5 games back of Indians but still tied with Royals. Also, Rays in a virtual tie with Twins and Royals for second wildcard.
