Look at it this way...when we go out to a double digit lead, maybe the Clemens kid can move over from 2nd and pitch the last inning or two.

Luckily, you're in a game thread so somebody may tell you a couple three times!

Good day for the Twins minor leaguers. Smetzer was great, Sand up next and Jermaine Palacios gets the start in both games. Great to see all of these guys today. Jermaine Palacios has paid his dues and deserves his major league pay check. With the 13? on IL hope most of them get to stick around for more.

I hear he's pitching from second base.  I haven't found where that's legal in the rules yet.

Expand  

Yeah, but its not-not legal

A game thread is the last place I’d expect to find paraconsistent logic.

Sounds like extra time for you to get more chicken!

It's like we're so used to a slow, plodding pace that we don't know what to do when it actually moves at a reasonable pace.

I was just thinking the same thing. I hate these split day/night double headers! Is it really all about the money? So they can charge two admissions? I miss the old days where it was 30 min between games.

Gotta give enough time for Comerica to fill up with Tiger fans. I'm guessing a packed house.

Speaking of my therapist (bah-dum-tschh), she told me I'm preoccupied with revenge.

Oh yeah? Well we'll just see about that, missy.

I'd prefer to go back to back without the 3 hour break. It means I have to do real life stuff instead of watching baseball after work and that's not acceptable.

I think I head counted about 14 people earlier ?

[rwilfong86]

Looking at the matchup tonight, I like the Twins chances and I'm not an optimistic person by nature. The fact the opposing pitcher has an era of 20 should give the Twins a good chance of stealing a game with their "B" team.

MLB.TV says that today's Twins' games are on "BSNOX," so I'm expecting noxious BS from the booth.

Since I don't live in Minnesota before the last few weeks I'd never seen the Bally Sports North Twins pregame and postgame, since MLB.TV includes it I am loving watching them now.

Usually there is no X on the end, suggesting NO BS.

He's great on the Jeff Belzer commercials. On the Twins broadcasts...not so much. I love the one where he wakes up and starts screaming when he sees the Belzer-wife next to him.
