Game time is getting close. Could someone post lineups?

 

I am not good at setups, but would note that the Twins are leading the season series against the White Sox by 8 games to 2.

Thanks, Stringer

Pelf has got them right where he wants them.

So far glad I'm not there

Vintage Pelfrey.

See? Just like they drew it up in pregame.

Wow, middle of the second and we are only tied in strikeouts.

Keys to the game:

 

Twins pitch bad, they need to pitch better.

 

White Sox hit bad, they need to hit better.

 

 

 

Ground breaking stuff right there.

At least the HRs were solos. This could be much worse .... and its only the 2nd inning with no outs.

lol

Colabell-doh.

Not exactly Gold Glove defense. However, I can't see much more of Pelf before my eyes bleed to death.

Why couldn't he have done this in July?

 

 

Or June, May, or April for that matter.

you can score runs on base hits, you know. sheesh.

So far glad I'm not there

 

Okay ... maybe I take that back

Okay ... maybe I take that back

 

I preemptively blame you for Pelfrey's poor inning.

lol ... I've been blamed for worse.

Mr. Morneau helping me take the lead in a little pick the stick contest we have elsewhere. Hallelujah.

I'm hearing some sweet sounds here in the 3rd!

I just checked BB Ref before the game. One of the things they note is record vs. teams above (and below) .500. Anyway, the Twins are 28-16 vs. losing teams and 23-46 vs. team with winning records. Unfortunately, more teams have winning records than losing records.

making a call here. [hello, domino's?]

Double play, a pitcher's best friend. Pelfrey's Best Man. After all, it's a beautiful summer afternoon for a Saturday wedding.

It's such a nice day, let's wed two!

Apparently the White Sox are not aware of the rule that a pitcher can't go out to start another inning when he's past 100 pitches. I assume the Union will lodge a complaint on Rienzo's behalf

He's done now.

Love the Florimon bunt. The Twins way of manufacturing runs is really working out for us....

He's done now.

 

Sure, but at what cost? 112 pitches, give or take. Oh, the humanity! He'll probably have a poor outing next time, if not already under the surgeon's knife.
