Ken Rosenthal's reporting that the Twins are considering Anthony Weiner for POBO!

um, hate to know what the POBO stands for....

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Calling it: Mauer yard

[Aggies7]

Good to see Santiago doing well. Figures we get a solid start and the offense is quiet. Who saw that coming?

[Craig Arko]

CBU (do we do those anymore?)

I think we decided the first week of the season that they were jinxing us.

 

We might need to revisit that.

[Aggies7]

What a play

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Note to self:

 

Typing the phrase "Kipnis Webgem" autocorrects to "Mauer yard"

[Craig Arko]

Morris using his Motown connection. R-E-S-P-E-C-T.

[Aggies7]

Have a night, hector

[70charger]

"And we've got a pitcher's duel...."

 

What!?

[70charger]

I think I might have to stop watching before the late inning collapse. Might as well leave on a high note.

When you're not paying super close attention, "A little Aretha" sounds an awful lot like "A little Urethra".  I was wondering where ole Jack was going with that until he started spelling.

Stick it out. It pays off sometimes.

[Aggies7]

Howwwwww can you be so terrible at bunting and be a major leaguer? That's so embarrassing

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Miller just throwing slider after slider to our lefties. No chance.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Jeebus Centeno again.

"Hank, it's your agent. You're a Minnesota Twin now. Do you know what that means? That means one good start gets you a contract for next year - two or three probably gets you a long-term deal. Pelfrey, Nolasco, Hughes ... it's like stealing candy from a baby. Now go out there and do it."

[ashbury]

Wasted at-bat by Rosario. I'm going out on a limb and say that he didn't like receiving the bunt sign.

[Woody Wants Wins]

Rosario should be benched after that.  Might have been the AB  by him all season.  The young guys do not take very many professional AB's anymore.  Only worried about themselves.  Tired of that attitude.

[Aggies7]

Man I am still ticked off at the Rosario at bat. It's like he was never taught anything about bunting. Even our inept player development had to go over it a few times.

And the righty. Good thing Rob's way better from that side of the plate.

[Jham]

Anyone else see a little Andy Miller in youngin Stephen Gonsalves?

[Woody Wants Wins]

Again nice AB Grossman.  Just try to hit a HR every time up. How about putting a ball in play.  From Grossman that is even worse.  He should know better.

[Aggies7]

And an absolutely wretched at bat by grossman.

[ashbury]

"Hank,

[Aggies7]

That almost hit dozier's foot. Awful inning, anyone think it'll be 0-0 into the 8th?

[operation mindcrime]

Well that bites.

[Comrade Bork]

meh Plouffe is hitting well and they are a wash at third IMO

I just wish I could see into the minds of Molitor and Antony and see what they are thinking. It would be so fascinating to work as an assistant or something, just to watch.

[Woody Wants Wins]

And Dozier laughs as he swings at that pitch.  The reason this team competed last year for most of the season was because of a veteran like Hunter.  No one left to call out the young guys in public and the old guys in the locker room.  Pathetic.  Need a veteran presence for next year.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

When the slider is nasty, the slider is nasty.

 

The slider was nasty tonight.

 

It's a shock we got one hit out of it.
