I can't believe it's only May 6th.  I've never been this sour this early in a season, ever. 

I turned 2012 off completely. On this date the lineup was: The ones in bold are the bad ones.

 

Denard Span, Center Fielder  

Jamey Carroll, Shortstop  

Joe Mauer, Catcher  

Josh Willingham, Left Fielder  

Ryan Doumit, DH  

Chris Parmelee, First Baseman  

Danny Valencia, Third Baseman  

Erik Komatsu, Right Fielder  

Alexi Casilla, Second Baseman  

Manager, Ron Gardenhire

I like how the Twins are using their best reliever in the bottom of the 8th of a game that they're losing 10-4.

[Riverbrian]

This might be something we need

 

 

[Winston Smith]

I wish a Twins pitcher would knock a hitter on their ass once in awhile. Couldn't type fast enough.

Dick just informed me the WS are "beginning to pull away."

 

True story.

 

From the Twins own website recap of the game on Wednesday:

 

Dozier's homer not enough after pitchers falter

 

In case you're one of the lucky people who had already forgotten,  the Twins lost that game 16-4.

I sense sarcasm from 1800 miles away.

 

amiright?

[nicksaviking]

Too many men on the field,five run penalty on the White Sox.

[David HK]

Hidey-ho everybody! Just got out of that miserable little class! Is the comeback still on? Did I miss anything good?

(...chases tail in a circle, pees on the floor a little like puppies are wont to do...)

Just exactly what class ARE you teaching??

[nicksaviking]

I'm not in to throwing at guys, but if I were, I'd do it again right now.

You could place Dicaprio in the picture with his arm around the bear I'd bet. 

Sorry, I was at my BiL's Groom's Dinner. Trust me on this one. Leo's arm is somewhat around the bear, but the bear is huge and Leo's an average sized man, there is no way he could get his arm around him.

[USAFChief]

LOL:  Morris "No, I don't believe May was throwing at him...but I'm glad he did."

If we had a different Ryan running the Twins....

 

 

Dear Robin,

 

Please stop whining about your guy getting plunked after you plunked our only guy who can hit,   or else I'll come out there and put you in a headlock again.

 

Sincerely,

Nolan

And more to the point,    are there openings next semester and can I count it toward a master's degree?

Best reason to call Alex Meyer back up. If it comes to plunking batters, Meyer has plausible deniability. He uncorks a wild pitch often enough to claim it was an accident, and usually it is.

I had a guess it was you all along.  Alas, it's true what they say:  when you meet your hero, it's always disappointing.

This is obviously wrong.

 

It only SEEMED like we skipped the top of the 3rd and the WS batted for six consecutive outs.

Yup,  except if they were pulled off the field before finishing the game,  NOBODY would chant "Let them play!"

I'm going to 2nd why is May in this game?

Quoth Crash Davis, "Hit the mascot."

[Platoon]

The last time I saw a player point at second to see if he was supposed to steal was in 9 yr old ball! Oh wait...........

Oh c'mon, lets not exaggerate.

 

The BNB's could hit.
