Zach Stewart vs. Scott f'ing Diamond. Since we got our Run already today, I may be utilizing the Boy's Netflix subscription tonight.
For your dining pleasure: MLB ballparks ranked by most food safety violations.
Oh, and here is a recent feel-good story from another ball sport. Do you suppose Jeter will ask NYC press not to push for his immediate enshrinement in the baseball HOF when HE retires ascends to heaven on the wings of doves?
As was expected, Benson and Parmelee called up.
And Matt Tolbert too! Get excited, boys!
Ugh. I remember back when I used to get excited about 18 innings of Twins baseball in one day...
I remember back when I used to get excited about
18 innings ofTwins baseballin one day...Me too.
I've got a good guess which of the three gets playing time first...
Instead of watching Twins baseball, I took my girls to the great Minnesota get together.
so, crowds, traffic, over-priced food, and a roller-coaster ride?
wait, which am I talking about?
Don't have to deal with traffic if you utilize the park and ride.
A certain 4 year old was pretty excited.
What's up all? I haven't joined you guys for a while, so I thought I might. Is the no cursing rule still in effect? I might want to break it tonight.
It's still written, but there are a few of us who break fairly regularly. I still feel we do a much better job than we had for a while there.
The second comment on the strib article announcing Parmelee's call up refers to Parmelee as "soft". And so it begins.
Our fanbase is fun as hell. Thanks, Shecky.
I feel like further research into the infectious properties of BCI is necessary. Shecky might be our very own Typhoid Mary.
That's Typhoid Marii
I think somebody on this site needs to do an FJM style feature about every article he writes. I nominate anybody but me.
Excited about the prospect of the Twins getting a hit tonight. 's all I got.
You might have been aiming too high, my friend.
I'm too lazy to look it up, Scott Diamond's WHIP has to be like 3 right?
I believe it's so large that it can only be expressed using Knuth's up-arrow notation.
Donald Knuth -- there's a name I know
he's been typecast.
His wikipedia entry is an amusing read.
Knuth - Algorithm Al.
Today at the fair: the Twins booth had Mauer's jersey 30% off.
When Butters is catching, you can get his batting average for 50% off.
appropriate, since the p*ssy only plays 2/3 of the time. Are they seconds too (i.e., minor owwies)?
If only there were a place to look up contract info, Dazz.
That was an elaborate production to show that Juicy is due up. I imagine it made Gardy die a little inside.
Excited about the prospect of maybe a good Twins AB this game, at least.
*sigh*
Waldrop! Let's hope he does well -- I like this guy. Not in an AMR-Chuck James way, ...
Obviously the season hasn't been bad enough yet if the boys are going to get Pefect Game'd by Zach freaking Stewart. Stupid White Sox.
You have issues with his spelling?
Only because the more Zachs there are in the world, the higher the probability my name will be spelled Zach.
Zack Greinke is on your side.
Zack Geinke.
I'm guessing we'll be seeing Tolbot at short tomorrow.
Waldrop's the first player to wear #57 for the Twins since Johan.
I don't think it's HAY-del, Dazzle - I think it's hay-DEL.
isn't that hay-_EL???
He was a pitcher; do they really have an opportunity to lose their 'D'?
I just had lost the habit of pronouncing the "D" in Del.
Okay, I kind of what Stewart to throw a perfect game, just to see what kind of crap Top Jimmy writes about it tomorrow.
where is Cuddii tonight? A leader would be playing....
geez, he'd probably have single-handedly won it. Or so it would read tomorrow
Where I come from "wrist sprain" is the same thing as a little bump on the wrist.
"Alex" batters seem to be Waldrop's kryptonite.
No, apparently "batters" seem to be his kryptonite. crap
Can we test that theory by putting him in to pitch for the Sox next inning?
Really excited about the possibility of the Twins maybe matching the hits total with the errors total tonight.
like I said, they got their Run earlier today.
Aw, heck, I'm not sweating this. Even Swashstretch did this earlier this season.
Hawk is
going tomaking this game absolutely unbearable.Gordo: "and then you think a little bit about Tyler Flowers, not much
Me: even less.
if Mauer were a leader....
So, uh, this sucks, huh?
All I want is for Butters to get HBP to break up the perfect game.
I'd settle for Butters rolling a grounder over to Beckham, who boots it.
Also, Pierzynski should be involved in that play somehow.
Wait... Is this a PERFECT GAME??????????
It is in fact a PERFECT GAME.
Nice jinxing, fellas.
One bonus of the perfecto going on- MLB has the live look-in all primed and running.
Oh, of course that's got the Hawk issues going on. Oh well, I have a mute button.
Yeeeah. So [redacted] annoying with his various cheers for things to go foul. Not that I'm surprised whatsoever, but still annoying.
VALENCHIA!!
Juicy.
The dagger!
All we needed here was me to stop by.
Still the Boss!
[BRUUUUUUUCE jpg]
Heh, I can probably stop paying attention to the game again- one batter, one hit, good enough for me.
dude, he's The Dink
Ha! I got home, turned on the computer just in time to see the Twins were being no-hit. I turned on the game just in time for the bottom of the eighth. I went ahead and finished the game, but it sounds like several tuned in at the same time. I was going to take credit for breaking it up. At least we have Frankie's no-no to "brag" about still.
Can we please start calling Dinkleman either McDinkles or McDinkler?
got a shower and a good book waiting on me; I think I'll take me leave...
I think I just heard a pin drop at Target Field.
The good people at Target Field kindly request that you stop typing so loudly.
Yep, the season ticket plug. HOLD ME BACK!
A buddy of mine in the Cities got season tickets this year. He was at both shitfests today. Lucky guy.
one fucking hit?
oh, evening all.
You can't say that on the air!
Don't worry. No one's listening anyways.
Ladies and Gentlemen, your last-place Minnesota Twins!
Woo-hoo! No. 2 pick, here we come!
Tickets available for tomorrow night on stub hub for $2.
You could see history!!
Plus, Liam Hendriks, Joe Benson and Chris Parmelee could all be playing. I'm not sure how much Parmelee will play, but I expect Benson to get a good look with Cuddiier and Kubel both free agents.
3-17 in their last 20 at Target Field.
Who would have thought the Twins would struggle to reach base with this lineup? Where was Iron Man Cuddiier? So, Juicy and the Dink were the only two to reach base three times in the doubleheader. So sad.
Heck of a game score for Stewart in this one.
