Al Shaver always used to say Tronno.

Customary in Canada not to pronounce the second T.

[LaBombo]

 

Kevin Pillar.

Kevin Millar.

 

Both have played for the Jays.

 

Hope they collect the whole set. Only 24 more to go!

 

Competing for shelf space with the Lord of the Rings Lite-up Goblets...

I think we could make something happen. Meet me behind the ring toss in 10 min.

 

Smokes are one thing, but do NOT buy the poultry, no matter how good the price is.

Plouffe has had a good showcase week. Any takers?

Take our third baseman. Please.

[LaBombo]

Hook may have been one batter too late for Santana, but on the other hand, Santana is the only starter who even remotely gets the benefit of the doubt in that situation.

[70charger]

Could really use a strikeout from somebody.

[Danchat]

Uh-oh. In play, run(s).

[70charger]

Dammit.

[LaBombo]

Huge play by Kepler to cut that off and save a run. Those plays are harder to quantify than balls turned into outs in defensive stat terms, but it reaffirms the eye test of Kepler's net positive defensive game.

[ashbury]

Take our third baseman. Please.

In exchange for one bullpen arm who can shut down a critical at bat. Please.

[HitInAPinch]

Pressly should be challenging Encarnananana....

[LaBombo]

Two on, two outs, two strikes, two run lead...

Pressly's got that same suspicious looking black smear on the bill of his cap that Joe Nathan always had.

[LaBombo]

Well, crap. Out of likes for the day. Everyone assume your post got a 'like' unless I repost it with a 'dislike'.

[70charger]

Dammit again.

[USAFChief]

Hate to say it, but Encarnacion was just better than Pressley in that AB.

[operation mindcrime]

Thank God!

[USAFChief]

 

Dammit again.

Not again.  Still.

Seven runs in, and we're hoping for insurance here in the top of the 8th. Twins Baseball!

[operation mindcrime]

Pressly's going to be sent out for the 8th as well. Why?

[LaBombo]

The Sanchez kid is a nice story and all, but FSN progress updates on his surpassing the Twins catchers' season (if not career) homer total in what, like 10 days in the majors, is starting to grate just a little.

 

Meanwhile, we're reminded every rain delay that Kurt Suzuki is from Hawaii and a pretty good surfer.

We have only two relievers.
