So you know when you are having eggs for breakfast.

Scotland is amazing, what part did you visit?

We rented a motorcycle and rode around a lot. Spent most of the time in the highlands. Wish we had spent more time in Edinburgh. Fantastic city.

[DiscGolfer]

Santana been looking pretty good in the field tonight

[USAFChief]

C'mon Fien...baseruns has us down 3-2.

Let's not do this, mmmmkay?

Anyone else glad we didn't win the Stephen Drew sweeps?

[Squirrel]

Well, ****. I really wanted that shut out.

[DiscGolfer]

so much for the back to back shutouts

I prefer the 99 cents, thanks.

A beautifully managed game, Molly!

I'm sure Twinsnorth will come through with something more appropriate, but in the meantime:

My favorite part of the game was the ball being hit over the fences that the guys in the far away grass were guarding.

I feel like the Twins try to bunt for hits way to much, they have to be under .200 overall on those sorts of at bats so far this year.

Catching up, but I'll comment on this--they should bunt for hits more (and more efficiently) and bunt to advance base runners much, much less.

My sentiment as well.

How about they just stop bunting? They seem to be pretty inefficient across the board.

C'mon Chief, there's an egg shortage, she has to get more than $.99 per dozen.

Nah. Bunting should be part of the offensive game for the fast guys and against overshifts. Getting the third baseman in will get a few more down the line and in the hole. Tomorrow, they need to bunt a couple times on CC, I think that's a rule.

CC seems to take offense to such actions, I would just avoid it, versus having that fat turd throw at Mauer or Sano's heads.

I'm ok with the pricing structure...I'd hate to see them at a price point I can't afford.

[jimmer]

Pujols just got called out on strike 3 fastball.  The ball was barely above the ankle.

Those four bunts over the wall were pretty tasty, ya gotta admit.

He injured Morneau's wrist back in about 2005 when he was with Cleveland. Same thing--he got in a bad mood over a bunt or something. It's one thing to throw at a batter's buttocks to make a statement, but anything thrown purposely above the waist is done only by an @$$#()!&, and that's what Sabathia is.
