"Terry Ryan has promised the Twins will be active in july in trading people or at least listening to offers."

Did Dick say if Ryan was going to answer his phone and listen, or would he just listen to the offers when it rolled to voicemail?

Would Dick even know what voicemail is?

Don't get your hopes up. He can only listen to the calls that make it past Sarah the Twins operator...

I hate these late west coast games

[Aggies7]

Look at Mauer with the green light.

 

And the twins leave their 352nd runner on base

[USAFChief]

Mauer swung on 3-0.

 

You don't see that every decade.

 

[jimbo92107]

Good on Tyler Duffey. Fought like heck to find his form; just managed to keep Texas from scoring.

Dick: Terry Ryan promises to be active in July before the trade deadline. He will listen to all offers made.

 

And here all this time I thought "active" had a completely different meaning than that.

I spend most work days actively working on company projects.

Yeah good idea Mauer, give er balls at a 3-0 pitch, with guys on 1st and 2nd and Sano on deck, yep that is the way to do it, give yourself a pat on the back.  Hey at least we don't pay him much, oh shoot... actually I'd forgot about that!

This is what I find so maddening about the boy. A middle-in 88MPH 4-seamer, and he flies out oppo field.

[Aggies7]

Press is in. Let's hope it's Ryan and not jamie

I'd like to find out if Molitor gave him the green light or if that was on his own. Either way, after 2 straight walks a swing could have waited until 3-1.

[Mike Sixel]

Loving the game thread. Thanks everyone

I doubt Molitor sends signals to Mauer when to swing.

[Aggies7]

12 in a row retired by the twins. Who could have predicted the turnaround of the entire staff?

If you are talking about the Twins Daily company, I will retire the joke

No, thank you.

Me too, but I'd still like to know for sure.

[Aggies7]

Just so you all know, taking NyQuil after brushing one's teeth is not advisable as I've just found out.

[spinowner]

Auf Wiedersehen baseball!

[jimbo92107]

If jinxes exist, I can't imagine a much better one than what Roy Smalley just said.

I disagree.

[Aggies7]

Now is the time on sprockets when we dance

[HitInAPinch]

Kepler HR #7  

[jimbo92107]

I'm beginning to think Max Kepler could be pretty good. 

[USAFChief]

The number changed.

[Aggies7]

Could the twins possibly allow a total of four hits in two games?

[drivlikejehu]

[LaBombo]

Kepler has reached the point where I'd watch the Twins just to see him play.

 

Come to think of it, until Sano came back that's almost exactly what I was doing.
