1. Lots of fly balls, but luckily also lots of outs

2. Chromecasting the live feed on Facebook from my phone. Nice!

   1. Wait, what?

      1. Free live stream off Facebook tonight

         1. Chromecasted!

         2. Well, crap. I could not find it.

3. SEND HIM!!!

4. Zubazpalooza and Big Sexy t-shirt night should have been the same night

5. This is Colon's 12th start for the Twins. Other pitchers with 12 starts for the Twins: Andrew Albers, Mike Dyer, Pedro Hernandez, Dan Perkins.

   1. Albers is pitching for Seattle, and pitching pretty well.

      I'm sure he'll be back in a couple of years.

      1. Sign his final contract to retire with them.

6. This would be a good time for Joe Mauer to get a hit.

   1. I'll give that an "Amen!"

   2. A sac fly will work, too.

7. It would have been nice to have gotten more than one out of that.

   1. I was thinking the same thing

8. The Strib is reporting that Doug Mientkiewicz was fired .

   Curious move.

   1. Yes, it is. My guess is that he got sideways with someone high up in the organization. That's entirely speculation, though.

      1. I would have to figure you're right.

   2. Dougie Baseball none to pleased either.

      1. Yea. Something stinky about the whole thing.

9. I agree with Bremer. I thought Buxton would be called out for makings that slight move towards second.

   1. What's the rulebook say? (I'm too lazy to look) I'm assuming it includes the weird "intent" somewhere and I don't think he really intended to go to second, it was just an involuntary-ish reaction to a loose ball.

      1. True, but Baseball is weird because you can get called out by going to the replay booth and the ump see you bouncing millimeters off the base when sliding but something like that is "meh, whatever"

         1. You'll get no disagreement from me. I don't like moving strikezones, but I do kind of like the human element on the base paths.

10. With Buxton on second, why is Rosario bunting?

    1. My hope is that it had to do with facing a lefty and that he did it on his own.

    2. The way he jabbed, it looked like he was trying for a base hit.

11. RBI for Gimenez!

12. Rolaids!

13. Dick does NOT want to call Bartolo Colón "Big Sexy"

    1. Dick's a dick

       1. Also a hypocrite. Didn't have a problem with ii calling the St Paul beat writer a prick.

14. Is starting to look like we got our four big sexy innings in.

    1. Nice work limiting that inning to one run.

       1. He was really hitting his spots after those two long hits.

15. DOZIER!!!!!

16. BULLDOZED

17. Tuned in at a nice time.

    I'm obsessing right now about when to get up to another game.

    1. I recommend before the season is over.

       1. That's a good start.

18. BULLDOZED!

    That ball had Chem trails behind it

19. woohoo, my 2nd spookied.

20. Remember, solo home runs don't hurt you.

21. That was...deep.

22. Donaldson can be traded to the NL any day now...

    1. I agree!

23. Colon has five pitches, but unfortunately one of them is a give back pitch.

24. That was Josh Donaldson's 15th HR against Twins pitching, tied for most against opponents (Tampa). Pretty impressive for a guy that never played for an AL Central team.

25. I'm ok with Big Sexy night ending after 6 innings.

    1. In favor of which reliever(s)?

       1. I would bring in the Duffman.

       2. Dennys Reyes, pre injury Glen Perkins, and Joe Nathan.

    2. Prescient call.

    3. I would have been too

    4. C'mon Molly. Kinda bummed you didn't check in with the WGOM on this one.

26. Kansas City leads Cleveland 4-3 going into the bottom of the ninth.

27. This only ends one way.

28. Oh, for dumb.

29. Frozen, wooooooooo

    1. Uh, don't unfreeze it.

       1. It's annoying that the all-time best hitter against the Twins is also lucky against the Twins. But then, the all-time best hitter would probably be getting lucky sometimes.

30. And it's only 22 games. Was hoping for a bit more.

    1. Same here

31. I'm thinking Joey Bats isn't really Joey Bats anymore.

32. Few things irritate me more than a pitcher getting one out to start an inning and then being replaced.

    I want a two batter minimum rule.

    1. Especially when it is the starting pitcher.

33. Rally time!

34. dead puppies and fizzled firecrackers
