I'd say you're one commercial break too late.

Playing the Yankees > not being able to S H O U T while playing the Yankees

Really? Does this 5 inning start by Walters keep him in the rotation for another start? Please no.

 

It can't... Pelfrey makes more money.

The Twins need to put a bounty on Robinson Cano. He is single-handedly winning these games.

It's kind of amazing to me--in a sad sort of way--watching these games and comparing how much actual impact on a game Cano has and how little Mauer has.

 

I realize it's just a three game sample, but IMO Mauer has about as little long term impact on actual results as humanly possible for someone with his hitting numbers.

Don't be silly. This'll get him 3 more starts.

He really battled his tail off out there tonight. That's what we like to see.

Well, it was fun while it lasted.

Good to finally see Thielbar in there when it might actually matter. If he gets out only allowing 1 run in it will be a good appearance.

Is dad still awake, ChiTown? Might be ice cream in your near future after all.

Pretty nice job, Thielbar.

You post the best pictures! Well, except for Smurf's tattoo man, you post the best pictures!

yup, no outs and a runner on 1st and 3rd and he only lets the one in. Nice pitching there!

Thats it... That was the Ice Cream mention that broke the Camels back... I'm getting me some... now!!!

He's pretty much done for the night.

Chief, I think the difference is that guys actually get on base before Cano gets up.

Mauer never has an opportunity to hit someone in. Or at least very rare...

OK, if we had been told earlier today that after 6 the Twins would only be down 3-2 tonight, I think most of us would have been pleasantly surprised.

What does his tattoo man have that mine doesn't?

Mauer is 9th in the AL in runs created. He's 6th in runs created per 27 outs. Little impact, indeed...

 

Imagine if he was batting 3rd instead of 2nd.

Pitching to the only good hitter in the opponent's lineup with first base open allows me to reminisce about Gardy letting Frank Thomas hit when his ankle was fused in that series against the A's.

Wow. Never knew that one can get hairy tattoos.

OK, if that's not worthy of a lifetime ban, I don't know what is.

My favorite ice creams:

 

1. Stoneridge's Carmel Cheesecake

2. Moose Tracks (multiple brands)

3. Kemps' Carmel Delight

 

Do not under any circumstances buy Edy's "slow churned" ice creams.

This might be tmi but I've seen worse.

One time I walked into a locker room to find an officer blow-drying the hair on his behind. As if that wasn't weird enough, people were talking to him like it was no big deal.

Okay. You win.

I hope at least you weren't a youth when it happened. That sort of thing can scar someone for life.

He batted 3rd for years, and if I recall, many wanted him moved to second.

Okay. You win.

 

I couldn't believe my eyes. I didn't sty that long in there before I had to leave.
