One more inning for Gibby?

[Twins Twerp]

Dang! Late again! Knew I should've put the Christmas bonus money into an upgrade to a 56k modem instead of stockpiling Nishi rookie cards...

 

Funny...but nishe is a hall of famer minus nick effing swisher with his Dirty slide

[Twins Twerp]

Young has managed to fool a number of teams. He hasn't fooled many Twins hitters.

Fooled kubel...and i think gibby gives us at least one more

Ashamed to admit, had been wondering why he wasn't posting tonight. Thanks.

Somehow the phrase "Hicks on deck" is not as ominous as it was 48 hours ago.

[Twins Twerp]

Hicks has finally come along...driving the ball #sarcasm

It'll look like a line drive in the box score...

 

Escobar on the other hand has earned himself some respect recently.

[Twins Twerp]

Escobar is at least the punto of the future...(utility) heck..super utility minus that game he cost us in right field...which wasnt his fault

It's a big improvement over watching another strike three go by.

Need to see some more head-first slides into the dugout after a strikeout, but yes, the current trend is positive. And congratulations with a wish for a great home stand to start your new life.

Agree about the Swisher slide. The rest, well, we'll never know, and neither will he, so that makes it a bigger deal for him than us.

[Twins Twerp]

Does he come out for 8th...pitch count under 100

[Craig Arko]

Arcia homers for the Redwings.

[jokin]

With Plouffe I'm pleased thus far... And it's hard for me because he was really disappointing me for awhile.

If he keeps up this plate discipline thing. He's gonna be nice to keep around with Sano.

 

"Really disappointing you for a while"? Hah-hah!

 

IIRC, wasn't it more like you went on about a three week get out of town brusque excoriation for inattentive and lackadaisacal play?

[Twins Twerp]

Pelfreys numbers look like 5 I, 1 ER, 5hits, 53 strikes out of 81 strikes. Wonder what his fb speed was at #groininjurymyass

Out in Left Field?

[stringer bell]

Come on Thielbar!

[JB_Iowa]

Bull Pen keeps it interesting......

[stringer bell]

I guess it is never easy.

[Craig Arko]

I see Julio Franco is making a comeback. Can he play the outfield, I wonder?

[Richie the Rally Goat]

Nice catch Hicksy

[Craig Arko]

Franco makes that easy.

[Richie the Rally Goat]

Bull Pen keeps it interesting......

Unfortunately

[Richie the Rally Goat]

Come on Fien, don't blow it

[Twins Twerp]

Out in Left Field?

Ya left...dick

[Craig Arko]

And we're having some fun now...

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Bull Pen keeps it interesting......

 

Don't want the offense to grow lethargic, do we?

[Twins Twerp]

Hicks HAS to lead league in full counts?

[Twins Twerp]

I effing love pinto...those muscles are huge

[LaBombo]

Not really, but still a mean second, oddly enough. Resume Dozie to SS debate.

 

Plus... snake guy! Let the free-agent-fueling flow of herpetocultural revenue commence...
