Game Thread: Twins @ Yankees, 5/31@12:10pm CT

That hit resembles his name.

 

Just wanted Parms to have a chance to shine.

[Gibby]

Remember when Dick got all mad at Bert for saying duck fart?

[Gibby]

Hicks gives up after 2 strikes.

[notoriousgod71]

If Santana is "fine" and taking ground balls why is he unavailable to play?

[Gibby]

Thank God Mauer wasn't playing first on that DP.

[longstrangetrip]

Tanaka's splitter is nasty...almost unfair

[longstrangetrip]

Yeah, he's still a little slow getting rid of the ball. I'm seeing some improvement from Joe at first though.

 

Now, as for his hitting approach...

Trainers advised against. Also, I would guess having a swollen eye might be a bit of a hindrance?

[Gibby]

I love Smalley, he was my neighbor for a while when I was a kid. I sure get worn out listening to him bloviate about every little thing.

Yes, but then I wouldn't classify that as being "fine". He should get Chris Sabo goggles.

Heh ... talk about a word sounding like what it is.

[howeda7]

He doesn't have it. Take him out while you've still got a shot with Swarzak.

[cmathewson]

To answer my question: Today is the last day I want to see KC.

[JB_Iowa]

Correia must like living on the edge.

His wife could be a little high maintenance though. Years ago I was at a party and was chatting with 4-5 guys including Smalley. His wife was in a group of women next to us, and she was complaining about Roy being on the road all the time. Roy excused himself and turned to the group of women and said (in his best Chico Escuala voice): "Christine, need I remind you...baseball been beddy beddy good...to you"

I was hoping for that with nobody out in the 1st.

Sure...pick on the guy cruising with a shutout...

[Hawkeye12]

Nice to see Correia get some breaks his way. He's still got a long ways to go to overcome the Colabello effect (in right field) that killed his ERA in April. But his FIP is almost identical to Gibson and much better than Nolasco, so hopefully things even out eventually. Too many people putting his couple bad starts in May with his bad luck the first month, and chalking it up as him being poor all year.

That's awesome. He lived next door when I was in HS. Great guy, great neighbor, but I was a little bit awed by him at the time.

Hey, he's on pace for a 196 pitch CGSHO!

He is a good guy. And being a sartorial challenged guy myself, Roy has perhaps the greatest hair of all time!

I'm rooting for him to succeed, but I'm afraid, I'm going have the same feeling for him that I did for Blackburn every time Gardy rolled him out.

[Tibs]

Correia must like living on the edge.

Anyone know his middle name? I'm guessing it's Danger.

[longstrangetrip]

Could Gardy raise his challenge percentage to 16% here?

[longstrangetrip]

Yes! And now our number 3 hitter comes up!!!!

[Gibby]

No, that's Punto's

[Gibby]

Twins baseball.

[howeda7]

Mauer just looks pathetic right now.

[longstrangetrip]

I have nothing to say...

[JB_Iowa]

Gotta think that Mauer has lingering effects from the concussion.
