I'm personally glad that Butera got the at bat there so we can continue this stimulating and highly educational debate.

 

Also I support Plouffsies opposite field approach lately, if he can remember how to pull pitches when he gets the chance (looking at you, baby jesus) we might have something.

I want a Butera tee shirt with his face superimposed on a leprechaun.

That DOES sound like a pretty fantastic idea..

 

When that shirt is put to fruition, I fully expect my dollar royalty per shirt sold. What the hell will I do with $5?

I would love to get some runs here -- for insurance and to wear out the White Sox bullpen. Also, it would be nice to give Plouffe another chance at a home run.

Good one. Does it matter at all that Butera did hit a double tonight and Doumit may have an injury?

Of course it matters, that double might be just the thing to get Butera's career OPS above .500.

Is that $5 per shirt, or five shirts at $1?

Good one, rookie. I am putting you down for three tee shirts.

When do teams start bringing in another infielder against Revere?

I'm not sure that Ben wasn't 5 for 5 tonight. Looked safe to me. Close but safe.

When do teams start bringing in another infielder against Revere?

lol... Ladies and gentlemen... Gene Mauch.

When do teams start bringing in another infielder against Revere?

That won't help. He's hitting off a tee right now, just beyond all infielders' grasps and right in front off the outfielders. Only thing is to bring in the OF, but then if he hits one in the gap we will see that elusive inside the park homer. ONly thing that would help is a rover, but Revere is hitting to all fields.

Five shirts will be sold at $X. I will get a dollar for each.

Congrats, Brittany Viola!

I think that Morneau may need some rest -- he is looking terrible at the plate.

Morneau may need to see some time against AAA lefties to get some confidence, discipline and eye back.

Congrats, Brittany Viola!

Her legs look very useful.

I'd love it. His slugging would rise big time.

OK, Burton, let's send these crybabies back to their hotel so that the whining can begin in earnest.

Please do NOT walk A.J.

Congrats, Brittany Viola!

wtf is pooling beneath her?

You absolutely cannot walk someone with a 3-run lead in the ninth.

The reason Butera is playing is GARDENHIRE! Gardenhire and Ryan must go. Until that happens, none of the rest of this is worth discussing.

Maybe this is fate's way of setting up a divine double play.

Haha I hope so.

I was thinking the same thing but didn't know how to broach the subject, especially in mixed company since I'm sure some of the female Twins faithful are viewing this board.

Hopefully it is a reflection.

I love fresh points of view!

7.5 back and on a roll to taking the tepid AL Central. Here we go....... Go Twins!

Big win for the Twins. Now wouldn't it be great to sweep these guys?

YES -- a very sweet win over the evil arch-rivals. Burton made it more exciting that I would like, but a win is a win.

Not often you leave 24 runners on and still win.
