I miss the dreadlocks.

[howeda7]

Sigh. Hopefully precautionary. If not, Kenny Vargas or ABW?

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Bummer about Park. Hope he's ok. He caught a break because I think he swung at that.

[wickedslider]

I pray that we can hold a lead for a change.

Grow em back.

I pray for about 10 Billion Dollars so I can buy this team and have enough money to do whatever I want. 

[Riverbrian]

And Post a Photo

 

We'd all like to See Craig Arko with Dreadlocks... All Three Little Birds and stuff. 

[Craig Arko]

Grow em back.

Nah, I think maybe extensions.

[howeda7]

I thought there was nothing an owner could do?

Oof. That lineup. Why is Mastroianni leading off? Why is Park still hitting behind Plouffe? 

 

 

Plouffe: .236/.263/.681

Park: .268/.344/.942

 

Why is Park not in the 4 hole? Why in the hell does Molitor keep batting him 5th or 6th? This is starting to anger me (more).

I just can't figure it.  We've got our AAA Mendoza line guy leading off, and Molly's continuing insistence on the Plouffe-sized hole between Sano and Park.  Sheesh, the guy just got off rehab, and didn't exactly take to low-A pitching during that-  maybe ease him back in til he regains his stroke, maybe in the 6 or 7 spot?  But- that would make sense, and Molly, well.......

[Aggies7]

Just one time I'd like to see a shutdown inning. Just once.

Careful what you wish for.

oh man, I hope this isn't gonna be one of those games for Ervin...

umpire calls out Twins trainer to check Suzuki.  Bad sign

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Suzuki is a tough son of a gun

[nicksaviking]

There isn't a rule that you have to replace him with another DH-only is there?

 

Also, I can't watch the game, what happened to Park?

LIKE this 2 times.

HBP.

[wickedslider]

Whew!!!

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

I eat crow from my last post on Suzuki. I'm glad he doesn't have to bat this inning.

[howeda7]

Suzuki is either immune to concussions or great at faking it.

Oh... I can do stuff. 

 

I'll declare no scholarships for managers. I'd hire 5 Managers and rotate them. If you manage and win... you get to manage the next day. If you lose... you get moved to the back of the rotation. 

 

After a couple of months... I'll fire the two managers with the worst record. Not just fire them... Firing Squad right in front of the Kirby Puckett statue. Chief will be the guy who yells Fire. 

 

With the remaining three managers... I'll be able to manager by match up... I'll use the guy who does a better job against pitchers with high fly ball ratios for example. 

 

Oh... I can do stuff.

I've heard about those. I think they call them a 1,2,3 inning?

[howeda7]

Since Gardy is assistant GM, I assume it is a rule now. Right after 2b must hit 2nd.

Looking Good Arko

Oy, that McDonald's commercial. Nothing says I love you like a cold fast-food burger.

He was fooled by a Sale slider and tried to check his swing, but the pitch hit him in the knee/shin/thigh (didn't see where). Umps gave him the base instead of ringing him up on strikeout.

[sftwinsfan]

So I'm guessing Tommy Milone is still with the team?  I was kind of hoping someone would claim him.  Although I'm guessing if he asked for a trade over being sent to the bullpen they can always point to the fact that no other team would take him, even for nothing in return.

[spinowner]

I think Audra should be given camera time during every half-inning.

[nicksaviking]

HBP.

Without additional explanation, I'm going to assume it was square in the nuts.
