As soon as Little Sammy Fuld gets back Hicks is history per Dick and Bert doing todays talking points.

[Richie the Rally Goat]

So the trick to hitting success is changing facial hair... Just cut Cola right now

Truth hurts

[Guest USAFChief]

Anything to Cola pinch hitting for Mauer in the 9th? Or just a chance to rest him a bit?

[snepp]

PLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOUFFE!

 

 

 

 

*all-caps

Cola shaved

Bernier and Beresford are just sitting there in the AAA infield, why wait?

[sampleSizeOfOne]

And... that was an out.

 

Oh well.

 

Would it help if i went and watched movies or listened to songs just so i could make clever references?

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

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.

 

Next thing you'll tell us is LaTroy Hawkins thinks he can still pitch.. oh wait

No wonder Scott Baker was a pitcher.

It sure hasn't helped me make clever references.

[snepp]

Jeff Gray or bust.

[Tibs]

But they're infiel... Oh yeah. Nevermind. Bring 'em up

[Guest USAFChief]

Jeff Gray or bust.

Careful what you ask for.

[LaBombo]

Laudner floats the kooky notion that maybe it's not a good week to throw meatballs to DO...

[LaBombo]

And... that was an out.

 

Oh well.

Depends. Ridley Scott?

I was wondering that myself...

 

I hope it's just getting him some experience pinch hitting.

Colabello had to show the team how to do that forward K thing.

[LaBombo]

Jeff Gray or bust.

Mutually exclusive... why?

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Depends. Ridley Scott?

 

Yeah, bein' able to quote the "turtle on its back" interview question might actually come in handy in describing recent twins fandom.

 

I feel i should know his other works better. Alien? What else? (Probably should just on imdb at this point to satisfy my curiousity.)

[stringer bell]

While I agree that Plouffe looks like a better hitter and I have been impressed with his approach at the plate, it is ironic that his two homers have come in the ninth innings of the two worst games the Twins have played this year.

[Mike Sixel]

Was at the game, Plouffe's error looked VERY much like a lazy person's approach. I'm sure it wasn't, but man, it looked bad from where I sat.
