2. Yovani Gallardo -- Born in 1986 in Mexico. When I think of Mexico... I think of Cancun, Acapulco, Cabo... the Tourist spots. Turns out... There is a bunch of Mexico that isn't exactly touristy and that is where Gallardo comes from. Gallardo grew up on a burrito farm. On hot summer nights... Yovani and his brothers and sisters... aunts and uncles would climb the burrito trees and drop the ripe burritos to the ground. It was hard work and working from sun up to sun down made him extremely boring. Throughout his major league career. Gallardo has never been amazing and he has never been bad... He's been consistently above average. When I've seen him pitch... he has an assortment of real good breaking pitches that seem to break late. You know... the kind of pitch that Mauer has been struggling with this year.

 

 

Wow, you'd have to have some killer break on your pitch to throw down a ripe burrito and not have it... well, break. Was no one down there to catch them?

 

As always, i am lookin' forward to the game.

 

Thanks for them thoughts!

Spring/Summer in the upper Midwest ....

 

Hot as h*ll one day ...

Freezing your b*tts off a day or two later.

[Richie the Rally Goat]

I'd change my name to Hot Rod for 50 bucks.

If the payer also paid the administrative fees to the state and fed... Maybe... But I'm accustomed to sharing a last name with my wife, I doubt she'd go for Rev. Rod...

Throw back uni's, only Gomez is wearing stirrup socks

[JB_Iowa]

I'm really not in favor of these Twins unis.

 

They were a mistake 30 years ago .... and that hasn't changed.

[ashbury]

It has been awhile since I have seen Clint Eastwood, Tony Dow, and Bugs Bunny referenced together.

 

Brian's style is an extreme form of stream of conscioh look there's a butterfly.

[Twins Twerp]

Sometimes dedunos balls go in AND out...now thats a good pitch. Plus plus

My wife would probably pay 50 bucks to change her name away from Mrs Ashbury.

Where?!

 

Doh! i missed it. they always seem to flutter by. And just when i was watchin' the game.

 

(Two leadoff brewer hits doesn't help the cause much. But Deduno got the next 3 outs, allowin' a run to score)

[MichiganTwins]

Ah I love me some Pinto in the lineup and of course producing.

[Circus Boy]

Yaws-meel!

[Guest USAFChief]

Plouffe gets picked off, but ends up on third. And PINTO!

[Mike Sixel]

College graduations? Congrats. My oldest graduates from SLP high school next week, then MN Morris.

[ashbury]

Plouffe gets picked off, but ends up on third.

 

This is the kind of play that gets a team on the margins of the post-season into them, and then does that team absolutely no good once in the post-season.

 

Nice to see Pinto drive him in, of course.

Ok, Go Go not the only one, but no Twins in stirrups

[ashbury]

I gotta go yell at some ballplayers. I'll try to join back late.

 

We're good at yelling at ballplayers. Let us know the URL for your game thread and we'll join you.

[Squirrel]

Yeah but not humid.

 

No, you say it like this ...

 

Yeah, but it's a dry heat.

It's a trap, Bri.

 

We're pretty good at yelling at the coaching staff, too.

[stringer bell]

Man, those are some fugly uniforms!

[Richie the Rally Goat]

I like Santana, Dozier, Mauer, Willingham 1-4

[Guest USAFChief]

A no-doubter off the bat. Atta-kid, Hammersie!

[snepp]

I got home just in time for, The Hammer.

[MichiganTwins]

It is nice when we can score more than one run per hit/wild pitch.

[mikeee]

Where's the Starwars gif?

[sampleSizeOfOne]

I like Santana, Dozier, Mauer, Willingham 1-4

 

I especially like it when 2 out of the 3 get on, and Willingham deposits it beyond the fence.

 

I hope we get to see that again sometime...

[Tibs]

I'm liking this Willingham
