Tonight the Twins open up a 3-game series with the Blue Jays. The Twins have taken a flurry of punches recently, a lot like Brutus after Popeye downed a can of spinach. I’ve often wondered why Brutus

Would they be able to augment their 25 man roster?

Assuming 3 of the games they are pitching at any given moment, they want at least 27 men to be on the field...

Simultaneous games would be interesting to manage.

Kepler is pulled from game 1 to pinch hit in game 2.

 

I imagine it would be something like the multi-ball mode of Kiss Army pinball, but with less face paint and more bunting.

 

The thought of three slow-rolling sac bunts in play at once is sending shivers down my spine!

 

That, or maybe the sciatic is flaring up again.

I was checking up on the Jays roster and how they were doing this season... their lineup and starters' stats are a bit underwhelming, but their bullpen... whoa, nelly. I know it's a crime in some states to equate ERA to talent level, but of their 7 relievers, the highest ERA was 3.48. If they make it to their bullpen with a lead, it's probably game over.

You hand a lead to the Twins bullpen and it's probably over too. Just in a much different sense.

Romero replacing Hughes... Gonsalves to replace Lynn next? I hope so

My guess is not soon. Many reasons.

 

One, Lynn is the first starter the current regime signed as a FA (other than Colon). Hughes is a guy they inherited.

 

Two, Lynn has actually pitched well as recently as last year. He could still become serviceable.

 

Three, you can’t make every struggling starter a mop up man. You hopefully only need one.

If you are plagiarizing from somewhere, you do an excellent job of covering your tracks. These are gold.
 

 

 

There are plenty of times that I steal from someone without proper credit. 

 

However... in this case... They came out of my head... along with an idea for a pudding dispenser that will feed you pudding hands free while driving.

Well ... I have to have some talks serious talks with myself about games this weekend in Chicago ... do I go or not, and if I do, how often? Maybe they'll sweep the Jays and get on a roll ...

 

They need you Carole.

 

If they look around the stadium and don't see you there, it could bring the team down.

If your pudding dispenser ever becomes reality, I'll take a dozen!

It's your obligation, nay, your responsibility to see to a victory in each and every Chicago game. Unless you don't feel like going, of course.
