  • I spent most of the day with my granddaughter trimming trees, cleaning her room, going for pizza, and the park. I just hated to mis this game. I could tell from the lineup we were goin after em! How

  • On a positive note....other than pitching, defense and hitting,  we are doing pretty good today so far!

    I'm so glad Paul Molitor is going to be leading this team again next year. They're playing some inspired ball behind his leadership right now.

For what it's worth, johan's ERA through his first 8 games was almost 8.50 and radke's was over 7.

 

if that means anything to ya.

 

You haven't been to Canada......have you?

I have, been a while, but I have.

 

I drink whiskey, so I'll take a bottle of Lot 40 rye if that's okay.  You can buy the cheapest beer on earth and I won't mind.

No wonder this game isn't televised    :).

I have MLB Network on my cable and I have nothing else to do. Sad part of being retired watching bad baseball team to pass the time. Still beats working.

The bats seem to be in as much of a hurry to end this misery as we are.

Tonkin's having a tough series. His chance of finishing the year with a decent ERA is pretty much shot now.

Can the fans storm the the field so we have to forfeit so we can end this misery early?    This is sucking all the remaining optimism out of me.

Odd, my sarcasm sensor just exploded.  Not sure why.

I know that people like him because he throws hard, but he kind of reminds me of LaTroy Hawkins.  Threw hard but straight as an arrow and when they square it up, it goes a long way.  It took him about 7 years to figure out that he wasn't going to blow it by anyone.

Matt Capps was that way too.  Unless you throw 103, that fastball best have some movement.

We are on the board!

I agree with that. He's still at 10.2 K/9 before the game though. I'm not sure how it's that high.

Ugh...my head hurts...both sides.  Would that be bilateral brain weakness?  I can't take much more of this.

Here's a fun stat: J.T. Chargois has a rate of 2.2 K/9 in his first 8.1 innings.

We have very different definitions of fun, it seems.  :)

Now we're rolling. Chased their phenom and we'll feast on their weak pen.

The new Twins way is  "We do less with more".      Come up to the Majors and we will turn you into a pumpkin.

Pat Light supposedly throws 99-100 in the minors. Wellll, more like 94-95 when he pitches for the Twins.

Jorge Polanco is the best.

Breaking news: The Twins have remembered how to hit the ball. We'll update you if they ever remember how to pitch as well.

Max Kepler is the best too.

At some point, don't we need to see Berrios put up a quality start???  We can continue to compare his high ERA, Whip, BB/9 etc. thru his first couple handful of starts next to whoever else compares that went on to have a productive MLB career..... but he at some point needs to just throw a game, so he knows he can each time he toes the rubber.
