2012 Twins Game Recaps

Game 136: Twins 18, White Sux 9

This one was a laugher. I went to a friend's to lend him my DVDs of <em>The Wire</em> right around when the game started. I got out of the car with runners on 2nd & 3rd, one out, and Konerko at the plate. When I got back to the car, Mr. Provus said the Twins were "leading by 4." I assumed that Diamond had wriggled out of the jam in the first inning and the Twins had a nice couple of innings. Then he said it was the bottom of the second, and the Twins were up 7-3. I was a bit sad I missed the first offensive outburst in... I can't even remember how long. But I turned the game on at home. Thankfully I was witness to that glorious 5th inning. I can't describe how wonderful it was, so I'll let the box score do the talking:

1. Justin Morneau walks.
2. Ryan Doumit singles on a sharp line drive to right fielder Alex Rios. Justin Morneau to 3rd.
• Pitching Change: Leyson Septimo replaces Dylan Axelrod.
3. Chris Parmelee grounds out, third baseman Kevin Youkilis to first baseman Paul Konerko. Justin Morneau scores. Ryan Doumit to 2nd.
• Pitching Change: Philip Humber replaces Leyson Septimo.
4. Trevor Plouffe triples (1) on a line drive to right fielder Alex Rios. Ryan Doumit scores.
5. Eduardo Escobar singles on a line drive to right fielder Alex Rios. Trevor Plouffe scores.
6. Ben Revere singles on a ground ball to right fielder Alex Rios. Eduardo Escobar to 3rd.
7. Jamey Carroll out on a sacrifice fly to right fielder Alex Rios. Eduardo Escobar scores.
8. Joe Mauer walks. Ben Revere to 2nd.
• Coaching visit to mound.
9. Josh Willingham singles on a line drive to right fielder Alex Rios. Ben Revere scores. Joe Mauer to 3rd.
10. Justin Morneau walks. Josh Willingham to 2nd.
11. Ryan Doumit singles on a line drive to left fielder Dayan Viciedo. Joe Mauer scores. Josh Willingham scores. Justin Morneau to 2nd.
12. Chris Parmelee homers (5) on a fly ball to center field. Justin Morneau scores. Ryan Doumit scores.
13. Trevor Plouffe singles on a line drive to left fielder Dayan Viciedo.
• Pitching Change: Brian Omogrosso replaces Philip Humber.
14. Eduardo Escobar flies out to left fielder Dayan Viciedo.

I tuned out before Swampsludge gave up a bunch of runs, thankfully, so in my mind this game was even more one sided. That was fun.

I stayed on the diet yesterday, but I did not go to the gym and I focused on maintaining a good hydration level. That's not to say that I get any physical exercise. There were a couple of spots in my yard that I had pulled flowers out of earlier this summer and I had targeted Labor Day weekend as the time when they would get planted. I probably had about 80 to 100 sq. feet of area to plant, but first I had to prepare the soil. It was as hard as a rock, so working the soil was tough work and I was sweating mightily. I drank a lot of water yesterday and that was a real good thing, because I was sweating it out, too. I wonder if I should be concerned about minerals lost in all that sweat.

I needed that day off, even if this is a travel night meaning that I won't get to the gym tonight, either. Twayn, you are on for tomorrow, as I will be prepping for a morning meeting. So, anyway, I gained 0.3 pounds, which isn't bad at all, given my refocus on hydration.
