Plouffe lead the league in double plays hit into?

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Sano is looking human tonight.

 

He still looks like a stud though.

Yeah what has that guy done lately.

 

 

J/k

Argh- Twins in a meaningful game, + USA vs. Samoa in Pacific Nations Cup rugby. (Espn 3, by the way, starting in 5 minutes). It's a good day for staying home and enjoying the sporting life-- but duty calls, dang it.

Go Twinkies! Go Eagles!

That lock wearing number 4 for the States looks like a giant!!

[nicksaviking]

Ha ha, Oakland is such a dump they instead show the San Fran aerials .

Perhaps. MLB.com says he's tied for second with 15 behind a Miami 3rd baseman with 16, and i expect it's not immediately updated, so 2 could well put him there.

 

He could do worse...

CBU

 

No score

after four.

[TwinsCD]

I have to go to bed around 11 due to a nice early wakeup call.  At this rate, this game will be over...or in the 10th inning.

Fudge

[AlwaysinModeration]

Who does this Kazmir guy think he is with all these GIDP induced? Kyle Gibson? Mike Pelfrey?

[sampleSizeOfOne]

The Plouffe giveth and the Plouffe taketh away...

 

Fields a hard grounder w/ one out and runners on 1st and 2nd, steps on 3rd and fires to first for an inning ending double play.

Hayden Smith- spent some time with the NY Jets as well as playing in English Premire league.  6'6", 260

 

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Er, yeah.

 

CBU says 0-0 after 5.

Ya, he started another double play.

TE with the Jets? Must have some speed. Locks couldn't (didn't) run when I played.

[twinsnorth49]

Ya, he started another double play.

Grand Slams buy you DP equity.

[AlwaysinModeration]

7th inning rally caps, please.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Onto the 7th inning, no score.

 

CBU

[Halsey Hall]

Not with me.  A pitch out of the zone no one in the world thought would go out. 

[twinsnorth49]

7th inning rally caps, please.

Mine's been on since the 2nd

[twinsnorth49]

Not with me. A pitch out of the zone no one in the world thought would go out.

But did, extra impressive.

 

Yeah, good hitters never take bad offerings deep.

[AlwaysinModeration]

That was a fairly weak rally.

[TwinsCD]

This Kazmir guy has been doing this to us for years.  He needs to stop.

[drock2190]

You have to think the A's score pretty soon here

[twinsnorth49]

Quiet in here tonight, guess a lot of the regulars are pretending they have lives on a Saturday night.

 

Not me.

[twinsnorth49]

You have to think the A's score pretty soon here

Why do I have to think that?

 

Or is this a reverse jinx?

20 scoreless innings in a row? Sort of I guess, but there it goes.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Not a bad catch by Rosario there...

 

Hicks tries to bring that one back into the yard, but alas, to no avail...

 

1-0 Oakland, and still battin'...
