    Gardy on Hicks: "He’s a laid- back dude. We have to get a little bit of that laid-back dude out and get him to study the game more."

  Rob Antony said there are days when Aaron Hicks comes to the park without knowing who that night's opposing starter is. Wow. #MNTwins

    I will say last month when I asked Hicks a day before he'd have to face R.A. Dickey, he answered before I could finish the question. He knew
    

   

   

 

Political ads already aired on FSN?

 

Rob Antony running for office against Hicks this fall?

"Great idea, Buffy! You go take a shower while I check out the dark, overgrown...

 

Had me worried there for a second.

[LaBombo]

Almost got up in the middle of last night to complete a reference i'd started...

 

Parmelee - "sure i could have remained in AAA. Could have even been king.

But in my own way, i am king! Hail to the king, baby!"

 

But alas, i was too lazy...

You had me at "almost got up"...

"Great idea, Buffy! You go take a shower while I check out the dark, overgrown woods out back."

 

That is a solid trick, just have to make sure you don't have those annoying frosted shower doors.

Yeah, always go with the curtain...

All these moments will be lost. Like tears in rain...

 

Ah man!

 

Also wondering now if replicants can play baseball, and how much the yankees will spend in that department.

 

I'm not worthy...

 

(I'm just thinking "home again, home again, jiggity jig!")

Dirt: 'Twins might need to conclude at some point what they have in Matt Guerrier'.

 

It's like watching a slasher movie and trying not to talk back to the screen when the vapid blonde (m/f) says 'We're better off if we split up'.

Or if he/she goes up the stairs rather than out the front door

[LaBombo]

Parmsie takes down Godzilla!

[snepp]

Do any of our other infielders catch that flyball? I don't think so.

[snepp]

See?

[Richie the Rally Goat]

3 teams in the AL with more errors...

[Reider]

Another SS making a mistake in the outfield..

[zchrz]

Its almost like they have never played out there before.

[Winston Smith]

I'll repeat the curse of Ortiz: The last playoff series won by the Twins Ortiz was on the team. Since he left the Twins have won 2 playoff games and Ortiz has won 3 World Series rings. If that isn't a curse what is?

Get the ^*$() out of here, you ^&*#*# *^&$*$( piece of $*$*(@)!

Tonkin has to be among the biggest disappointments this season to date, no? Looks decidedly un-nasty to me.

Plouffe unfortunately doesn't have that excuse going for him.

[Tibs]

Haven't been able to watch, but just looked at the box score. It looks like it's getting close to about that time for Correia

[Winston Smith]

Get the band back together!

 

35-year-old former big leaguer Juan Rincon, who has not thrown in the bigs since 2010, is looking to mount a comeback, tweets Jon Heyman of CBSSports.com. Rincon, a righty who owns a 4.03 ERA in 507 MLB innings, has thrown for several clubs already, says Heyman.

Ya he throws hard and has good break, but not much command at all. Time for some more seasoning.

It was all done well, just trying to conserve internet space when Ortiz goes yard in extras.

"Sure I'd listen if the Twins called," Rincon said, "but it'll take an ironclad opt-out date to get the deal done."

There should be an "agree" button. I hate your post and almost hit "like" because I agree with you, and this is way too much typing

I honestly don't know what they see in him. He sits at 93 with a straight-as-an-arrow fastball and 83 with an ordinary slider. That might be enough if he had any control at all. But when he isn't wild out of the zone, he's wild in it. There have to be better relievers in AAA.

 

Tonight, he gave up two walks, a hit, two runs and escaped only because of three loud outs. That's a good outing for him this year. His 7 ERA doesn't factor in the five inherited runners he has allowed to score.

If they are going this route they need to get Neshek back, he always was my favorite.
