Geez, just looked at AL Central standings and the Twins are holding their own record-wise, but losing ground. Detroit and Cleveland are on a roll.

Good so far.

Very true. I couldn't tell at full speed. Morneau the other night as well as Pedroia and Florimon tonight I thought were all safe, but wasn't sure until they showed the super slow-mo. Of course Pedroia was the only one called safe. Is this game in Boston????

Same play as Morneau a couple of nights ago. Both were safe.

He needs to call safe with his arms like Pedroia.

Agreed. Roenicke in 7th, Burton in 8th and Perk 9th.

The question is, how many more batters does Gardy give him if he is at 85?

Just saw on the scroll that Burnett was recalled for Orioles. How are they 21-13 and needing Burnett?

Little tougher to get through 6 in 100 pitches against the Sox. I understand why Sox/Yankees games are brutally long.

Way to show you learned something from last time Gardy. Or the pessimist just says he reached 100 pitches (or very close).

One more batter for Correia. Let's not let this game get away Gardy.

Thanks for getting rid of scary guy Ashbury. She is much nicer, though I prefer the pole vaulter.

15 runs is awesome, but this game is dragging on forever. Pushing four hours now.

Anybody else think Morneau can't stay on a ball to save his life. He's been so pull-happy this year. He's trying to hit balls on the outside corner to RF.

Nice to see Hicks get a hit there.

I made a comment on last night's thread that I don't get Gardy's reaction. On the face of it, Gardy's reaction seems a bit over the top. Guys flip the ball with their gloves all the time. There was nobody on so there was absolutely no harm. Now if he was lackadaisical getting back to his position as mentioned by somebody who listened to the game on radio, then he deserves to get ripped a bit. I agree with SBKnudson that the dugout should not be considered a public forum. If Gardy did not rip Hicks in the post-game presser, then I'm fine with this. It seems as though Hicks is just doing a lot of little things right now that are getting under Gardy's skin. I really hope they continue to send Hicks out to CF for a couple more weeks. If he doesn't start hitting .250 - .275 then he probably needs to go down for awhile. Benson seems to be showing signs that he could handle a call up.

I didn't see it live, but saw a replay of the Hicks flip from Parker's Twitter feed. What is the big deal? He was about 5 feet from Dozier. Much ado about nothing. Am I missing some context? I don't want to start bashing Gardy, but his reaction reminds me of Kelly near the end of his run. He seems like an old curmudgeon, especially when the team is up 6-0.

Me too. I came in late just to catch up. The kid had a game tonight.

Hicks maybe would have even caught that.

Which is why Ramirez should have gone in for Doumitt and not for Hicks.

Agreed, he has been more than adequate.

Damn!

Neither?

Which Angel? I was always partial to Kris (Cheryl Ladd). I know that is probably not the popular pick.

I see 400+ is still AAA, so I've got my work cut out for me.
