Heat Index: 75F

Wind: ESE 9

Sky: Partly cloudy

 

Here's hoping our trade chips all enhance their value and that our prospects all further their development.

Oh goody, Dan San is batting in the #2 spot already. I had a feeling this would happen.

 

One other thing... didn't Pineda have surgery on a torn labrum? I think he missed two seasons and he hasn't been himself since. This is what Perkins will have to go through...

La pitching machine du jour.

the twins seem to be in the peculiar position of having a bunch of prospects who are untouchable, yet not worth very much on the market.

Thanks for the ad lib game thread. Just so you, and everyone else, knows ... it is truly appreciated, but give the one who volunteered a bit more time before assuming they are a 'no show' and jumping in. We all know how last-minute things can get in the way of getting something done, or they forgot it was a day game, but I'd wait until a 1/2 hr out before volunteering to help out. But, again, thanks!

Mets are looking at Valencia, I'm guessing the market for Plouffe will be close to -1.

Apparently Grossman doesn't get after it and/or battle his tail off like DanSan does.

And, further ... there are still open dates!!! We'd love it if you'd jump in for one of those. Take a look in the game thread volunteers thread and then PM Chief with the dates you want!

Decided I'd give the start of the Twins game a chance today.  Then I saw a commercial for a bat flip contest sponsered by MLB.  Don't think I'll be watching the Twins today after seeing that crap.

Mauer has my vote for the All Star game. Here's hoping he extends the on base streak to 29 games.

Watching a couple of classic Outer Limits episodes feels like perfect preparation for the game and the game thread.

No home-ran for Bel-tran this time.

Speaking of Grain Belt, I'm trying the Lock & Dam lager. Okay, not spectacular.

I'm reorganizing closets. Now that the new carpet is in, I can put things back and hopefully pare down even more.

Don't know how or when it happened, but Ricky Nolasco is the only starter I have confidence in at this point. Subject to change, of course.

And next week got to the mall because "I have nothing to wear" !

It will be shoes.

So now Dick/Bert claim Ryan said that Sano is too valuable to put back in RF? WTF changed while he was on the DL? I know that D/B had glowing reports of batting practice the other day, but who knows, the wind could have been blowing out.

I must be in the Twilight Zone because the announcers on the MLB network were talking about Ron Davis, and what a good pitcher he was. I just don't remember that.

What do Sano and Arcia have in common?

It will be shoes.

Heh, have computer, will shop. But this is the closet in my guest room, which I use as a storage closet.

Surprised Pineda even wasted that slider on Buxton, one more fastball would have done it easier.

For shoes?

Good lord. Get the hell out of the way Dozier.
