Doves, probably the dumbest bird I've ever run across. Pigeons, though, not much more than winged rats.

 

Anyway, and I cannot remember what they are, but my wife and I catch site of a flock of tropical birds on occasion. We think they must have escaped from somewhere and bred, because they certainly are not native to Bakersfield. It's amusing to see these brightly colored birds that look like they belong in a movie that is set in the tropics hanging around our redwoods.

 

There are over 30 species of parakeets and parrots that have made it out of the pet stores and into the wild in the southern states. They roost communally at night. Sometimes noisily.

The Birds are coming to town for a 4-game series before 23 players get an all-star break, starting Monday.   Bird nicknames are really quite popular: the Orioles, Cardinals and Jays in baseball, the P

That makes two runners you would have gotten thrown out at home this inning. Talk about a rally killer!

 

Only your opinion. Prince Fielder could have scored on that. Maybe even Albert Pujols! Escobar was almost to third when Smith finally fielded the ball, and he stood on third and watched the ball come in. There was only one out, anyway, so hardly a rally to kill. It doesn't even matter now, but I see Glynn send Sano when there is no chance, and hold Buxton (or Escobar) when the speed can be utilized. Just my opinion, too. And I have that right. Fact is, we will never know.

If there's one thing I don't like it's that he definitely gets wordy. But he does know what he's talking about, and some of the technical stuff is pretty interesting.

No doubt. I like the rotation the Twins seem to have in the booth now, with Morris, Bert, Hunter, Smalley and Hawkins.

Although, we've not seen as many birds lately, well, other than doves. Once in a great while, I'll catch an owl roosting in the top of one of our trees. It's interesting to see a barrel of feathers perched on the very top of a tree. And, I saw a hawk take a dove in our backyard a few weeks ago. I saw a pile of feathers on the ground, wondered what was going on and wandered up just in time to see the hawk take off with its prey.

 

Pretty much how nature works. Get lots of prey and the predators show up.

Orioles has 11 pitchers and 14 hitters.

Twins has 13 pitchers and 12 hitters.

Twins might as well cut Pressly and Belisle (two of worst relievers this year)

and bring up Granite and any young talented reliever.

The Orioles might be the only team in the MLB with worse pitching than the Twins. Not a good example to follow.

 

But, I'd still like to see them get rid of some bullpen dead-weight and give Busenitz, Bard, Curtis, etc some innings.

"Kintzler warming up for what he hopes is a save situation"

Noooooooooo!!!! You say this like once a freaking week. Stop saying this, you dolt.

He hopes the Twins score 5 runs in the bottom of the 8th and it's not a save situation.

I noticed the same thing. Now if it were a half inning sooner that would be the appropriate thing to say. Of course he wouldn't be warming then.
