    1. If I beat Will, I'm totally claiming a fantasy football championship this winter too. I don't care if we're the only two in the league.

  2. Probably only sticking around for the first 3-4 innings, so I'm calling a Willingham/Plouffe! early smackdown for an early DeVries lead.

    (btw Rows, sorry to be rude and run like that; thanks to you both for the company! And where's that beer review?!)

  3. I think only NL teams should be in the Western time zone so I only had to deal with this crap a couple of weeks a year.

  14. So Cris Carter gave up on the whole football hall of fame thing and started playing baseball.

    1. There was a Chris Carter who played for the Yakima Bears when I was there, too. I'd thought he made the bigs when I saw his name on a stat sheet. Then I noticed he wasn't white and decided he was probably not the same guy.

      1. I'm trying to get soda/pop out of the beverage rotation, so I'm drinking a lot more tea. And a little more beer.

            1. too messy in the growler (can't get my tea ball inside because the neck is narrow). This makes surprisingly tasty tea out of Lipton's.

    1. Although he fialed when he said that Blackburn was outrighted to make room for Pavano (who turns out to have a bone bruise) or someone like Pavano.

      No, please, someone much better than Pavano.

  18. Carl Pavano has a bone bruise? What? Were him and Revere kissing or something?!?!!!?1!1!!

  20. Sigh. I'm afraid to go get a beer, lest I miss an entire Twins ups. Maybe I'll check on this team again next summer.

    1. I don't know. Right after that play Mrs. Twayn got off the couch, said "Yay" in her most sarcastic tone, and went to bed.

  25. This is hard to watch.

    ...are the Nationals really going to bench Strasburg in the playoffs?

      1. See, I can get behind skipping him down the stretch, especially with a 7 game lead. But I don't understand leaving him out of the playoff rotation if there's no signs that he's wearing down.

  26. Dick (reading promo copy): The Vikings are just days away from the most important preseason game of the year. [Pause] I didn't know there was such a thing.

    Me: Credit where credit is due.

    1. bootsy: i musta walked about 6 miles today. more pics tomorrow. to give you an idea of how awesome the area is, every picture is within about 1.5 miles of my hotel.

      also, montreal is lousy with cathedrals.

      1. I got to see him earlier this year in a Cal League game. Definitely an exciting player. Revere as a shortstop with an actual throwing arm.

  30. Reddick looks like a small furry animal has latched on to his lower lip and won't let go.

  32. i missed the visual, but we'll take it...?

    anyway, i'm on buffalo time, so peace out, y'all.

  34. I never really understood that interference rule of running on the inside of the baseline to first base and I still don't.

    1. When I called him The Cuddyer That Was Promised, playing limpwristed while hurt was not what I meant!

    1. Actually, I thought getting rid of Balfour made sense. He was still rehabbing from an injury: no one knew how well he'd pitch again, and I seem to believe he was out of options or needed arbitration or something.

  38. This game sucked. De Vry worked at a glacial pace and still could not find the plate. big pussy hit three weak grounders. And, while triple plays are cool, not so much when your team is victimized.

    Twins batters had no chance against Sean Penn in the 8th. Balfour was good, Anderson excellent.

  39. If the Dodgers had not moved to Los Angeles, there would be no "West Coast games". Therefore, I blame last night's game on Walter O'Malley. Anyway, I guess we'll just have to settle for 91-71!
