Hehehe ... was waiting for someone to put up the Gant play. Love that! And love the final thumbs up! I am truly full from that smorgasbord!

We'll see how Florimon is doing as the local paper here said he'll be in the lineup today against the Orioles.

If it were me, Kubel would be the odd man out. I'm not sure what 'promises' were made or implied, if any for sure, but he just hasn't done enough to justify bringing him north.

He came into the ML game in the 7th and hit a double in the 8th. I'd be very surprised at this point if he wasn't our starting CFer.

Just tried the link ... and got a message this this post was flagged for removal. What was in it?

The outbound breeze is pretty strong. It took both those by Arcia and Escobar. My seat was pretty shady for the first 3 innings. Now coming into fu on sun. Wish I hD my SPF 50 today.

I'll wave to you snepp

Trying out one of the new areas and sitting in the grandstand. Here's my vantage.

6. Think of me. I'm at the game. It's beautiful here, AGAIN, today! Also, ran into Stringer ... good guy! We SE Minnesota types have to stick together

Congrats on law school!

Wow. Quick reaction by Johnson. That would've hurt

Lol and after saying I liked the red jerseys I'm now rethinking it. I don't like the blue patches under the arms. It's like a big symbolic sweat marks

Yeah, don't see it happening for him. Kubel, too, for that matter. But we'll see. I've been surprised plenty by these decisions.

Diamond got 2 SOs, then gave up a walk but the runner was caught stealing. Not a bad inning.

Getting some hits but not getting them home. Diamond gave up a solo shot in the bottom of the 1st. We'll see what he does this inning.

It's another gorgeous day in SW Florida. Got in two hours of tennis this morning, will watch the game (from home here), then head to the beach after the crowds have had enough. Yes, life is good for now. Here are the lineups: TWINS Bartlett, 2B Hicks, CF Plouffe, 3B Arcia, DH Colabello, 1B Parmelee, RF Mastroianni, LF Fryer, C Santana, SS SP, Diamond METS den Dekker, RF Murphy, 2B Young, CF Satin, 3B Clark, 1B Recker, DH Teagarden, C Burgamy, LF Reynolds, SS SP, Gee Batter up!

Yeah, I think my Gibson at the 5th is more hope. If he's not on the team he's first in line when someone falters, Diamond or Worley. I just think Deduno throws too many pitches and will end up in the pen and stay there except for a spot start here and there. I don't think his shoulder will allow for more than that. Just my gut feeling.

I like this. I like Perk and I think it is good for all, all around.

Why, Dave, why?

This is an early moderator warning to keep on topic about Perkins' contract. This is not a spending/payroll thread.

I think he's in the pen and only used as a starter sparingly, if a need arises. Really unsure about who the 5th will go to, but I just think it'll be Gibson.

I think they are going to put Deduno in the pen, and I'm not opposed to that. I think Gibson will have the 5th spot and who knows what will be of Diamond and Worley.

I just added the lineups for the Yankee game, too. Two games, one stop shopping.

Ha! And the lineup changed, too ...

Oy posted the wrong opponent and no one said anything???
