I bet it's fun being Nick Swisher.

 

Unless your standards are awfully high, I bet it's fun being Nick Punto, Drew Butera, or even Joe Benson. But, yeah.

[notoriousgod71]

Seriously, Dick... "Who would have thought Pelfrey would not make it out of the sixth and give up the lead in the process?"

 

If you had watched any of Pelfrey's starts from last season you'd probably have a pretty good guess what would happen.

[Reider]

Pelfrey was good until he ran out of gas. Get him out of there now!

[ashbury]

Wow, talk about falling apart in a single inning after what was an excellent beginning

 

Chief was pretty good last season at calling which inning Pelf would run into deep trouble.

I don't know. Swisher always has a smile on his face. I love the guy.

Gardy looks 20pds heavier than last year. on the radio they said Vavra should of sent dozier on mauers double, why is vavra even still on the m.l. staff ? would rather see moliter at 3rd. seems he knows a bit more than vavra about how the bases should be ran.

Guess that brings up a good point (Molitor vs. Vavra) what is the hierarchy of Twins coaches this year?

Was outside assisting with snowman and came back in just in time to see the exact same Pelfrey who you could see hitting the wall last year.

In defense of Gardy, Pelfrey only had 57 pitches going into the inning

C'mon man! It's not like Gardy has access to nutritious meals and a facility in which to work out...and people that could help him with a program. Besides, their is a thing called Poutine.

Mollie has to sit next to Gardy and constantly hear about the evils of stats so he's ready to manage when Gardenhire is promoted to Vice President of Looking Out the Window...

Yep, even this early that's 25 pitches earlier than you'd start to be concerned about most guys. But last year it just seemed like Pelfrey would hit the wall before the pitch count would suggest, and rapidly reach a point where three quarters of his pitches were a ball or a meatball.

I bet Gardy is farting poutine farts the whole time.

[Gibby]

Dozier's body-language is that of a dude in charge....even while whiffing.

[ashbury]

Gardy looks 20pds heavier than last year. on the radio

 

That's a high-end radio - what brand?

[Gibby]

Just received word from my wife that they are staying at the cabin through Sunday. I don't know what I'll do with out her.

 

any suggestions?

[mrmpls]

Didn't know sunflower seeds will put on all that weight? its funny when you compare his early 2003 and on pictures, wish he could work with younger guys . seems to have zero patience with certain people every year. GO TWINS!!

TD should not factor in.

Sleep in, have a beer on the toilet, and watch an entire movie without wife or daughter interuption...at least thats what i would do.

I'm normally a coffee on the toilet guy, but I do love the shower beer.

[mrmpls]

Oh boy-arcia!!

I think I've seen that right fielder before... On our Beer League Softball team.

[Mr. Brooks]

Its too bad this bullpen is too loaded to make room for a guy like Tonkin.

Dude named Denny with a barbed wire tat around his fleshy bicep?

[Gibby]

It's not like we don't have guys that can do this.

[Gibby]

Ok, we have our speedster at first.

[ashbury]

He was on your team too? Guy gets around.

One of seven. Gardy can hit you with waves and waves of them.

[Mr. Brooks]

Striking out with a guy on 3rd less than 2 outs, that has been a continuing issue for a couple years now. So frustrating.
