We may not hear from Chief Today... It's 110 degrees in Tucson and its a distinct possibility that he simply melted on the way to the grocery store.

 

Heres a photo taken near Tucson... As you can see... The Sun has actually touched the ground nearby.

Hey get me! I'm Vance Worley digging another hole for myself.

It's going to be tough sitting inside watching baseball on a day like this.

Where Kevin Slowey was supposed to end up.

For the Glorm report... It's 85 degrees in Beverly Hills.

 

I found this picture of Glorm holding a pencil.

What's that you say? I can take an airplane flight to China?

For the Ashbury Report... It's a Chilly 73 degree in Lake Tahoe.

 

Heres a photo of Ashbury fishing in the very back of a boat:

 

I went to the trouble of checking out Santana's splits and his "batter vs. pitcher" stats against current Twins. Mauer is 14-30 and the "old Morneau" has 3 HRs in 22 ABs against Ervin S. Santana's splits all favor him in today's matchup--2.27 ERA on the road, 2.55 ERA in day games, and a better OPS against facing left handed hitters than right handed hitters.

I feel so sorry for the Sox.

Gonna be a long day with this HP ump.

Chief's favorite debate technique.

rusty kuntz could never make it past third base

I woke up this morning and immediately thought Morneau Home Run today for no reason at all.

 

My second thought was I gotta pee.

Hence the nickname "Rusty."

If you've ever seen my feet... You'd feel sorry for my sox.

I'll take a raincheck.

How can Gardenhire not see what Doumit's been proving for years, he's not a #3 hitter! Never was, never will be. I don't give a sh*t about pressure on the youngster, Arcia and Doumit should be reversed in the line-up. The fact that Gardy can't realize that, frightens me for this clubs future.

I don't think Gardy is going to be a factor in this clubs future.

Brian Dozier closes out easily the best month of his major league career.......on the bench.

Is the wind blowing in? Did the Twins have their fans running, pushing the fly balls in (for the top of the 2nd?).

Escobar was getting Rusty

There are five LH hitters in today's lineup. My guess is Gardy preferred not to have a lineup where four of them hit consecutively.

 

I am also of the opinion that who is in the lineup is 1.37 gozillion times more important than the order in which they hit.

For the Glorm report... It's 85 degrees in Beverly Hills.

It's now 87 degrees. I have a massage and haircut scheduled, then a dip in the cement pond.

Gozillion?

 

Is that a threat to Tokyo?

That sounded dirty.

I wonder if the Twins made any effort to sign Santana as a free agent last winter.
