Gave that lead back much more efficiently

Wow. There goes the lead.

 

 

The Twins currently hold the all-time record for the shortest average lead at 8.5 minutes.

Cripes, can I try pitching?  Just for S & Gs?

Solid outing from Hughes!

The architects of this roster should be in jail for crimes against humanity

Why was Hughes contract extended again?

My 12 year old just watched that pitch from Hughes and said "meatball".

If I didn't know any better, I would think that the twins pitching problems stem from a plethora of pitches over the middle of the plate

 

Heh-- show of hands--  who wants to see a footrace between Park and Plouffe?  Maybe we can dress them up in those Milwaukee sausage costumes.  

 

Do they need the costumes? How about next time in Milwaukee Park and Plouffe just join the race.

Maybe he's hungry

or lack of major league talent.

 

Maybe he's hungry

I was thinking the same thing.

Dick: "what's the model now for team construction in baseball?"

 

Everyone: "not THIS"

Can we release Hughes and eat his salary? Good lord

As TR has shown, the best way to have job security is to have a terrible succession plan.

 

I'd like to know why Suzuki is in this game.

 

The starting pitcher, even though a lefty, is allowing left-handed batters to hit over 300.

 

For such a keen baseball mind, Molitor seems to do some very old-school baseball stuff.

 

 

Hughes literally has next to nothing.  

 

A good Division II team would be teeing off on him at this point.    The home run and double to left just now were particularly batting practice-y.

 

It's all well and good to show up to spring training vowing to improve on a career year.    It's entirely another to sh!tcan most of what made that career year great in the quest for improvement.

"You get no bread with one meatball."

Live look at the twins bullpen cart

 

And promptly the tying run is in scoring position.

 

 

AKA the on deck circle...

Nothing like some Fall Out Boy to bring us back from commercial.

Dick: "it's got to be the greatest feeling in the world...."

 

Everyone: "to play the twins?"

Hughes fastball =    http://bsc.omg-squee.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/homer-in-candy-land-300x230.jpg

It seems like a fantastic summation to this season to me.

I'm thinking of getting a copyright on that

 

And, further, to confuse matters even more, this particular march also has a subtitle, "Land of Hope and Glory," which refers to words that were written to go with this music. So, the complete title, if you will, of this march is Pomp and Circumstance March No. 1 in D major, "Land of Hope and Glory."

 

 

Here endeth the music lesson. For now. Unless I have something to add later. About this or something else.

 

OK but it's going to be hard to fit on the those little title strips in the jukebox.

Moral home run there.

Haha jack on dozier AGAIN

I have read all of the commentary to this point. You are all correct and on point. Hughes needs the 2015 Nolasco treatment -- "Ricky? Haven't seen him. Have you checked the DL?"

Dozier!!

Real home run there.

 

Haha jack on dozier AGAIN

well, at least for the moment, Jack can suck it.
