Can the Twins help keep Detroit out of first place and the playoffs? As Twins fans, do we even care who makes the playoffs? Tonight, the Twins have Tommy "Hey, at least I'm back in MLB" Milone going against some guy named Robbie Ray.

 

The Good: Milone is probably going to pitch better at some point. Probably.

 

The Bad: Not really seeing any bad here. *looks at lineup* Oh, hey, look. Jordan Schafer is in the lineup again. There you go.

 

The Ugly: Oswaldo Arcia's haircut. (in truth, I think it's pretty awesome in a horrible "omg look at this dude's baseball card in 20 years sort of way")

 

Detroit:

Ian Kinsler - 2B
Torii Hunter - RF
Miguel Cabrera - 1B
Victor Martinez - DH
J.D. Martinez - LF
Nick Castellanos - 3B
Eugenio Suarez - SS
Bryan Holaday - C
Rajai Davis - CF

 

Minnesota:

Danny Santana - CF
Brian Dozier - 2B
Joe Mauer - 1B
Kennys Vargas - DH
Oswaldo Arcia - RF
Trevor Plouffe - 3B
Kurt Suzuki - C
Eduardo Escobar - SS
Jordan Schafer - LF

Stuffed animal porn. That has to be a first on this site.

Thanks to HD, it's possible to just make out the family of screech owls living in Joba Chamberlain's beard as they begin to stir and prepare for the night's hunt...

I'm sorry I have to say this again, but why is Jordan Schafer an everyday starter? There's little chance he will be playing for us in 2015 and I'd rather see Chris Parmelee or heck, even Wilkin Ramirez. Schafer should be a bench bat, but in the last 12 Twins games, Schafer has stared 10 of them. This shouldn't be happening.

To answer your first question, I don't care too much about who gets in the playoffs.  I will probably pay a little attention but won't have much invested.  

 

I need to hunker down, take a break after this looong season ends, reconnect with my family, and heal up from some in-season aches and pains.  Then about January I'll start doing some real training, get in the cage, try and get ready for spring training.  I may even start working with a nutritionist, try and make sure I can keep my energy up during next year's sure-to-be-successful season.

The same Wilkin Ramirez who is older than Schafer and in AAA with little power and striking out 25% of the time?  

 

I don't mind Shafer actually.  I like the speed on the basepathes, his defense is better than Parmalee's and Parmalee isn't exactly hitting the cover off the ball lately....

You know, I think the Ice Bucket challenge is a great fundraiser and a real phenomenon ....

 

but I'm waiting for the people who accept it when its 0 degrees.

Sounds like somebody wants to be challenged...

So that's the view from the conic section of target field? 

 

Interesting...

 

I think i can even make out the asymptotes...

It's all about the edges and vertices.

 

And the beer, I expect.
