CAPS LOCK FTW!!!1!

Okay, well, don't abuse it or he'll take it away again.

[Richie the Rally Goat]

Deduno has a quality start. Not that it really matters, but going 6 had been a challenge.

[ashbury]

You never want to trade the players who bring the best return, and always want to trade the players return the least.

 

The fundamental flaw in the Garza trade.

Nah, too cliche

OK, gotta run. Going out to dinner with my sweetie....

Okay, just got a screen shot of that. Yes, the blackmail begins. Mwahahahaha …

One of the many good lines in "Master and Commander" is a toast that Russell Crowe gives: "To Wives and Sweethearts! May they never meet."

Suzuki has been putting good wood on the ball today even though the Mariners caught his last two hits.

Dickbert advocating for Hermann to be called up, just to be safe.

[Reider]

Deduno haters sure are quiet today..

Safe from what, or whom?

Hitting .600 or whatever he's done since being sent down doesn't hurt either.

They were saying the Twins want to go on the NL tour with one more position player instead of a reliever. Hermann's tearing the cover off the ball. I imagine it would be either Willy or Arcia if they are ready, but they haven't looked that great yet.

[twinsnorth49]

Well that's promising

[Richie the Rally Goat]

Colabello, 3 outs on 5 pitches before being subbed

[stringer bell]

I'm seeing a little skid for the bullpen. Duensing and Fien doing the best and I don't trust either one.

[twinsnorth49]

Safe from what, or whom?

 

Safe from Gardy having an anxiety attack playing both his catchers in the same game.

Poor guy fell off of a cliff.

[big dog]

Duensing wants to throw the double play ball. That four-pitch walk was part of his strategy. It's all in the plan.

Deduno haters sure are quiet today..

 

Deduno haters?

Tough to be critical of the guy. Pitched well outside of the short stretch right after the Hernandez deal.

Prophetic

that helps the trade value

Yeah, just two hits, and that triple was not a particularly well-hit ball. Just got in the right place.

 

Hey, nice double play!

[stringer bell]

Why would they have three catchers when there is no DH?

[Beezer07]

that helps the trade value

 

Duensing + Suzuki to Dodgers for Kershaw

[Beezer07]

Why would they have three catchers when there is no DH?

 

Maybe Gardy thinks the catcher is the only player who can be double-switched for?

That's got to be a Twins Daily first.

[howeda7]

Duensing + Suzuki to Dodgers for Kershaw

 

Gardy would demand Butera back in that deal. Demand it!
