[Platoon]

I laid down for a nap. I shoulda stayed in bed.

[operation mindcrime]

Well at least he didn't walk him in.

Give us the trailing update!

[Aggies7]

Centeno killing us

[S.]

And they steal a base, just to add insult to injury. C'mon, you know we're not going to score 2 runs against Chapman, why you gotta rub it in our faces?

[Aggies7]

Give us the trailing update!

I think we're up to 4 games without having trailed. I don't care anymore

They didn't steal, we just can't block balls in the dirt

[mikecgrimes]

Maybe this will be the day everyone gets fired.

Fair enough. Understandably, I'm not paying much attention.

[Aggies7]

Maybe this will be the day everyone gets fired.

Keep dreaming.

[ashbury]

We are very much lacking in major league starting caliber players.  Wouldn't have one player on an ALL AL Central team, with the possible exception of Mauer. Maybe.

We're just four players away.

 

Eddie Feigner - the King and his Court.

Maybe this will be the day everyone gets fired.

Why this weekend?  The Twins losing to the Yankees is expected.  It's always expected.

[Riverbrian]

I wonder who is warming in the Yankee pen?

Chapman and Kirby yates

Chapman and Kirby yates

 

_{Probably... No chance that we will see Yates}

[Aggies7]

_{Probably... No chance that we will see Yates}

Hey at least we'll get to see a guy throw pitches really fast

[Winston Smith]

 

Maybe this will be the day everyone gets fired.

I'm guessing Terry is checking the waiver wire and Antony is checking the dumpsters for replacements right now.

[operation mindcrime]

I honestly feel bad for Molitor even though I want him fired. I can't believe how many times our starters and relievers have failed this year.

[Aggies7]

Haha park has no chance, cmon

[mikeee]

Nolasco pitched 7 with 2 runs? WTH?

[mikecgrimes]

 

Haha park has no chance, cmon

 

Yeah but if one of those pitchers ever made contact with his bat it could of gone 580 feet.

[mikeee]

DINGER!!!!!!!!!

[jimbo92107]

I blame - 

 

- Canada

- Wisconsin

- The designated hitter

- The Pohlad family

- Pitch to contact

- Passive hitting

- The Twins Way

[Aggies7]

If only..

[Platoon]

That intentional walk was embarrassing.  I can't wait for the day when the runner from third just steals home when they are throwing the ball ten feet wide.

Up until about a month ago Eddie Rosario might have tried it, but I think those days have passed.

[HitInAPinch]

Escobar!

[operation mindcrime]

Trade Escobar tonight! I don't think his value will ever be higher after that homer.

[operation mindcrime]

Omg!

[Aggies7]

Open wound, throw in salt.

[mikecgrimes]

One more homerun and we can give this game away in the tenth!!!

[Riverbrian]

Suzuki Pinch Hit Home Run instead of being pinch hit for.
