Dick: Noon start tomorrow, which is a roughly 11 AM start in Minnesota.
I wasn't aware time zones were so flexible again.
walks will haunt.
Hey Rows, DJ's Dugout not only pushed a table over to the wall for me so I could plug in the laptop, but they put the game on one of their big screens AND on the overhead speakers on this side of the room. My new go-to in Omaha.
I turn in an inning late and we're already getting no-hit? Geez.
Whew. That was close.
Rain outside the Tropicabana, eh?
FLORIMOSNTER!
FLORIMON'd!!
GTFO Florimonster!
On The Grill: bacon cheeseburger (where's the BBQ that's supposed to be on it??), onion rings, and diet soda
I'm guessing mine will involve a can of Progresso soup (Italian Style Wedding, perhaps?) and a Summit Horizon Red Ale.
I made a delicious jambalaya with veggies, sausage, shrimp, and imitation crab.
For dessert, a delicious skinny cow ice cream sandwich.
Imitation crab??? Duuuuude. You are better than surimi.
Imitation is fine for something like jambalaya. You should just be happy that I'm cooking for myself at all!
Yes, yes I am. But I deny that surimi has any valid culinary application.
What about it's use as imitation crab?
Yeah, but the house always wins. We appear to be at a standstill.
the Boy has been tasked with making a salad of watermelon, strawberries, bacon, apples, and basil. and bacon. did I mention the bacon?
everyone makes salads with apples now days. that rules me out
The recipe calls for green apples to give this a little bit of tart crunch. I think the apple could be substituted out. Pears, asian pears, or jicama would be reasonable substitutes in this recipe.
d@mned allergies
Yeah, but what about the other bacon?
FLORIMONST....oh, you guys got it covered.
Nice hit, Pedro.
Seeing a close up of Luke Scott's disgusting rat tail doesn't make me like him any more. [Edit: adding the space in between those last two words make a big difference in meaning!]
I guess Molina frames pitches better? #WTF?
oooh, nice movement on Correia's third strike breaking ball. where'd that come from?
Hicks!
Dick obsessed with the Rays scoring a run using four batters. He must have been devastated when Florimon homered instead of letting Escobar steal and bunting him to third.
Since my retirement from listening to Dick and Bert unless I have to, I've learned that nearly all the teams out there are pretty bad, but I'll still take most of them over Dick and Bert.
For 3 days at a time, anyway. Bert's not really an intellectual-type announcer, but neither are most. It's nice to get a taste of somebody else's nonsense from time to time.
I think that's it. Most are dumb, but in different ways. The defenses for each dumb have a chance to recover.
I think it's pretty safe to say that the radio team > TV team in almost all cases, Twins no exception.
Yep, that's the deal. If I had to listen to almost any of them all the time, I'd tire of them.
intellectual-type
Eating some cherries while catching up on the gamelog, and I darn near swallowed a pit when I read that, Greek.
I'm glad to know my humor gets lethal-type reactions.
Nanking cherries perchance?
Heh, no- that would have been fitting, though.
Convenient of Gardy to give Escobar a two-strike disadvantage.
cleted
Clete!
so. many. walks.
Eva goes down!
Korreia struck out three and walked two that inning. There's no way he's ever done that before, right?
That is pretty ridiculous.
Joseph Slumpbreaker
sumbitch
aint that a kick in the head. :/
Well, that sucked.
I know it's only tied, but it feels like our chances of winning just dropped to about 5%.
Yea, well, that's like, your opinion, Man. I'm here now, tying this game together.
You're right. I'm being very undude.
FanGraphs does agree:
So apparently Tonkin is with the team, and I think FSN just showed him on the bench in the bullpen. But Thielbar is also still with the team and isn't leaving until tomorrow, when Tonkin will be activated.
I thought Thielbar was on bereavement leave?
So did I. Then they showed him on the mound (and obviously he's pitching now).
was he in uniform?
It looked like it, but he's not on the roster so he can't/shouldn't be.
Free pizza in Tropicana thanks to 10 strikeouts for the Rays staff. Seems like a dangerous promo against some of these guys.
It's only about a thousand pies.
Sadly true.
They should that at Target Field. They'd earn goodwill, plus they'd never have to pay out.
saw Monsters U this weekend and then Monsters, Inc. A few continuity issues.
Good thing next Monday is movie day. I might have another movie to add after watching World War Z.
The trailers I saw definitely didn't grab me, which is definitely saying something since I've been excited for everything they've had coming out other than Cars 2 (since I'd seen Cars by that point).
oh, thanks for that Wilson "Lord Rama" Ramos hits a donger highlight, fellahs. Always appreciate the paper cuts and lemon juice.
Apropos of that: seen in my neighborhood tonight: a Rauch shirsey. You may recall that the Twins weren't convinced that Mr. Rauch could get the job done, so they traded for Crapps. Silly Billy. Neck Tat was tall.
meatraffle
<3 Thielbar
That might soften Rodney up a bit.
Mauer hit that hard.
take a whack at the pitcher, AND get a basehit. Joe is a genius
"If anything, that line drive might have tilted his cap more."
Hehh.
off the schneid!
where's that rally cap?
8 RUN INNING!!! #itshappening
craptasm. Back-to-back Ks with a runner in scoring position.
Needed some bunts that inning, obviously.
*Joe Schultz*
This is the part where Rodney relaxes and forgets he still has one out to get, right?
no.
Carp. Time to cut and run as not to see the upcoming unpleasantness.

I wonder if Swizzlestick's mother is watching. Remember her? She was something.
Or Dinkleman's wife. Also something.
A different something.
Free baseball! Good job, Smartshot!
Hicks!!!
GoGo Hicksy!
Twins fans have certainly been spoiled by centerfield defense over the past few decades.
Good glove.
Is Dazz really complaining about Mauer not stealing?
This would be a good time for Arcia to get off the schneid. Just a bingle, Oswaldo. Just a bingle. A duck snort. A blooper.
On the first pitch. C'mon. Slap him upside the head, Bruno.
Booo. Get some man speed, Mauer!
This could go on for quite some time.
Free baseball coming out the wazoo.
Maddon determined to use the whole roster.
Thought I'd stop by to remind everyone that Joe Mauer is very good at baseball.
thank you Joe
pussy singles ain't gettin' er dun tonight, Mauer.
Golden effin' Sombrero.
OFFS. Just worry about the batter, Elvis.
Twins baseball.
verdict on the watermelon, strawberry, and bacon salad: thumbs up. Refreshing, plus crispy bacon.
Boo.
Well, my ability to watch the Twins just decreased another 3.6 percent.
That's what I get for
"Oh I'll check the score. It's still going on? I'll tune in to the radio."
You can’t win ‘em all, and in all likelihood, you’ll lose ‘em all.
At least all of the rest. Still (still!) on track for 37-125.
(;_;)
Don't be silly. Think about how much longer it took us to lose this game than it took to lose the others. That's Real Progress! In fact, it's better than Progress, it's Momentum! And everyone knows, you can't lose when you have Momentum on your side! We'll just have to settle for 111-51!
