Nice to see Parmelee in RF.

If anyone accidentally ingests something harmful in the next 3 hours, at least they'll have this game to induce vomitting.

Nice to see Parmelee.

 

Indeed.

Actually hasn't been too bad yet today. Of course, I'm watching it out of the corner of my eye, just to cut down on exposure a little.

Good advice, probably best not to stare directly at it.

Twins better win this one, can't take much more.

Another lively game thread.

 

Seems like only a couple years ago the Twins were the talk of the town.

 

Wait...it was only a couple years ago.

That's why you have to move the runners, Ben.

Nice of them to get Sam a lead.

While I would agree he should be able to get the bunt down if asked, I would prefer he not be asked...in the THIRD INNING!

Given their offense recently, I think they should scratch to get a run no matter what inning it is. It could be the game winner.

Sam looks pretty sharp tonight. I may end up going to bed happy for a change.

Deduno AL Cy Young winner 2013?

Good timing for Plouffe to find his mojo again.

Plouffe!!!! That had to feel good for him.

That fan is probably exiting the stadium right now.

Plouffe!!!

Are my eyes blurry. No walks? 4 Innings.

OT - Congrats to Elizabethton for winning their playoff opener tonight on the road. Berrios one hit through six innings with 7 K's. Elizabethton wins 4-0.

Figures. I don't watch what is becoming the only watchable Twins game in a week. What the hell is going on here? Plouffe homers, Deduno K's six, walks none, and the Twins post five runs.

My wife has the TV... She's watching Americas got Talent. I got the game cast on my IPad... It's killing me...

Sounds like a normal marriage.

A Capps sighting!

DeDuno kicking some serious ass.

Good AB by Plouffsie, although he didn't get the payoff.

DeDuno kicking some serious ass.

 

Lots more offspeed stuff tonight, with decent control of it too.

No walks... 6IP... I wish I could see it.

Holy s$%%^, is Deduno really working on a two-hitter? With no walks through 7 innings? And 9 K's? And the Twins have scored more than 1 run? Whaaaaaa? See, this is the kinda production we should be having erray game. Go Plouffe and Willinghammer! (and Deduno)

Remember when Smoak was the headline return for Cliff Lee? A little cautionary tale for those who advocate dumping good players for prospects.
