They are clearly missing Hunter's leadership. 

 

not sure if serious or not.......

I was actually thinking the same thing... dang it, now they'll probably get Torii out of retirement and throw him back into RF.

Sorry. Some people gotta face reality.

We all are facing reality.  And it sucks.  

 

We just don't need to face it every third post.

 

kthanks.

Note to Danny--can it with bunt talk every time Buxton comes up.  We get it, he's fast.

[Brock Beauchamp]

I have no idea. He seems pretty clueless but he's far from alone. If the Twins lose again today, do you think that's enough for some significant lineup changes? Do we even have anyone else to put in who might positively change the lineup? I have ot say, I can't see what to do other than maybe give Arcia a chance (but then there's that brutal defense that goes along with it) or the completely unproven Kepler.

Dunno. Something will have to change soon if the Twins don't win, if only to make a point.

I'm pretending to work, and it's hard when I put my friggin' hand through my monitor when Park K'd.

Dude, that's Terry Ryan's ex wife you're talking to. Show some respect.

Danny just mentioned the Sox would be 5-2 on the road with a win today.  I wasn't aware the Sox no longer call the South Side home.

[Halsey Hall]

In all fairness to Park, when he showed up this spring he was terrible taking batting practice. But after a week or so he started hitting, and hitting it hard. Hopefully the regular season will follow suit.

only four strikeouts in five innings. progress.

Does single digit strikeouts in a game qualify as a moral victory?

[Cap'n Piranha]

Is anyone else getting auto-play ads?  I can't even see where it is on the page, but I'm still hearing it.

[Aggies7]

On a positive note, whoever picks the intro/outro from a commercial music (on the radio) does a fantastic job. Just heard a little Bloc Party.

Right now I'll take what I can get.

10,000 Emerald Pools is also great.

Yes!

In all fairness, if I had been forced to not only watch, but talk in "happy talk" about every inning of every Twins game so far this year, I'd be 10 beers in, too.

[Cap'n Piranha]

Let's have some fun!  Who finishes this game with more strikeouts?  The Twins have 4 through 5, the White Sox have 3 through 5.2.  Choose either...

 

White Sox plus 3

Twins

I was trying to think of a good "Gladden is probably drunk" post but couldn't think of anything. Way to step up, Chief.

Gibson is a really smart guy and good pitcher. Maybe he needs to call his own pitches instead of leaving it to Suzuki

[Aggies7]

 

Gotta love coming out of the pen and promptly fall behind 3-0

 

edit: walking a man on 4 pitches

I'm pretty sure the home plate ump has had his eyes closed the entire game.

Pressly is missing a ton of bats.
