Chris Davis is apparently helpless against Mike Pelfrey.

 

The truth is sometimes stranger than fiction.

And that last pitch was a meatball.  Surprised it didn't get crushed.

I really like Rosario and with his speed and arm he absolutely should turn into a good defensive outfielder, but for the love of God he needs to work on his routes to the ball.

well, crap. Time to run my errands.

You should seriously consider running your innings while the Twins blow the lead rather than after. Then maybe you could give us a warning.

 

edit .. okay, I meant errands, lol

Second run that Hicks nails at home from RF, but Robinson's arm just doesn't have enough horse power.

 

Get well soon, Aaron Hicks!

What the heck did Molitor say to Pelfrey?

"Some of the fans at Twins Daily need an excuse to go to the store. See what you can do."

It's been covered by many but originally it was Smiley Lewis in the 50's. 

 

The version most remember was Dave Edmunds out of Wales. 

Two different songs. "Keep-a-Knockin" is best known as the Little Richard song but dates back well before then. "I Hear You Knockin" is the Smiley Lewis song.

Yesterday Gary Thorne called Buxton "Burton." Today he called him Escobar.  I'm gonna go out on a limb and say he doesn't subscribe to BA prospect rankings that closely.

I kind of prefer the manic American type of waiter to the "service" you get in the Balkans. Pieces of flair aside, at least you might get your food on the same day you order it.

My 2 most hated waiter/waitress lines:

 

ARE YOU STILL WORKING ON THAT?

No, I'm not still WORKING on that. I'm enjoying it. What kind of restaurant is this? A sidewalk next to a construction site?

 

DO YOU HAVE ROOM FOR DESSERT?

Yes, I have ROOM for dessert, but I don't want any.

There MUST be a good reason that the man, is firmly holding that pitchfork.

I can't stand when players weakly offer at off-speed pitches in hitter's counts.  Punto would always do that.  I like Thome's approach of swinging hard in case you make contact.  Save the defensive swings for when you have 2 strikes.
