That's not something you see everyday.

[Hrbowski]

Wow, that should have been caught. Poor Quintana, AND they give Mauer a hit.

[David HK]

Heh... just like that!  Thanks, Bret Eaton Ellis!

[formerly33]

That was great. The White Sox fans gave a routine cheer, and then there was this choking gasp, and the Cubs fans roared with laughter and the Twins fans cheered.

[Hrbowski]

And they get it right, switching it to an error.

[Platoon]

Speaking of minor league performance, Rob Anthony was quoted as saying Arcia will not come back unless he shows he can produce. It's the way they do things now. This must have started right after Stauffer? This also means Oliveras will meet the team in Boston tomorrow!

[formerly33]

Do I say PLOUFFE!!!!!!!! or RAMIREZ!!??

[David HK]

Come on, crooked number.  I gotta go to sleep happy.

[formerly33]

I'm enjoying myself.

[Hrbowski]

The defense is playing like a bunch of White Sox.

[mnsportsgeek]

Quintana getting unlucky, but I'll take it!

[GCTF]

Thanks, Quintana. 

[David HK]

Hilarious.

 

[formerly33]

Okay, I headed over to SSS, found this, and got jealous. Not to be defeated:

 

[spinowner]

Hmmm. They're not walking the dangerous Chris Herrmann

[formerly33]

CBU: Twins busy beating up a confused team in Chicago. Most recently, sacrifice bunt by Escobar, runners at 1st, 2nd, 1 out, 3-0 Twins.

[mnsportsgeek]

Come on Chris!

[glunn]

 

Since we can't score after the 3rd inning, best get on the board early and then pray for rain. 

 

The Twins are proving you wrong today and I am glad.

[Craig Arko]

Hmmm. They're not walking the dangerous Chris Herrmann

But they do anyway.

[Blake]

Finally, a chance to troll the Sox fan site. Woo hoo! (My wife and I spent the day yesterday picking out and picking up a rescue dog. Great Pyrenees for those who care)

[mnsportsgeek]

Eddie!

[Hrbowski]

Just a typical Twins game...

[Blake]

Not only that, I hit the Sox site just in time for the Sox to demonstrate some more of that "good team, bad baseball" mojo that's going on.

[Craig Arko]

Eddie!

[NoCryingInBaseball]

Now THATS what I'm talkin about!!

[David HK]

Oh, the Hawkster is in rare whine-form!  What a treat!

[formerly33]

 

Just a typical Twins game...

Yeah, we're not a good team at all. We just have good luck. Oh, and we play good teams too...we just happen to get them when they're doing bad.

[formerly33]

5-0 Twins, switching to the bottom of the 4th. I like this team. It's fun to catch all the good teams when they're down.

[Blake]

I really hope that Jose Quintana gets knocked out of the game, or that was his last inning, so I can use a Hawkism on the Sox site.

[Squirrel]

Oh, the Hawkster is in rare whine-form! What a treat!

I'm sure that Abreu hit helped squelch the whine ... unfortunately?
