Says a lot for Michigan tourism that there's a 'Visit Central Florida' banner on the backstop.

[Pius Jefferson]

I wish I could get excited but the Yankees series left a bad taste in my mouth. 

[yarnivek1972]

Looks like Good Gibby tonight.

Spoke too soon perhaps. So far, meh Gibby.

Plus what?

Just think how Angels fans feel about the Cleveland series.

During the rust-belt crash of the 1980s I lived in Houston. It was said during that period that the largest selling Sunday newspaper in Detroit was the Houston Chronicle (for the want-ads).

[John Kelsey]

KEP!

[yarnivek1972]

Like to see that from Kepler. Need to see more.

[spinowner]

Now, THAT is how a teammate picks up for his pitcher!

People try to escape Detroit with regularity. 

 

It also a targeted ad directed at Brad Ausmus.

Kepler!

KEPLER

BTW... if I was to visit Florida. 

 

Central Florida is the last place I'd go. 

 

No desire to see Disney World ever again. 

[USAFChief]

Kepler turning back into Paul Oniell would be a handy Sep/Oct development.

 

He hit a couple rockets last night too.

Make sure the lipstick is on your lips. 

 

It makes you look kind of crazy on your cheeks or eyebrows.

The "central highlands."

[yarnivek1972]

Nice catch.

I guess everything is relative ...

Guess which two beverages are my favorites.

[spinowner]

I don't care who hit that ball or who caught it, any baseball fan loves that catch in center field.

[USAFChief]

OKTOBERFEST!!

None of these are full. What the heck?

[spinowner]

Interesting. Bert says there have only been 5 stolen base attempts against Gibson. Helps explain all the GIDP's he's thrown.

[IndianaTwin]

Who is next, dear Falvey, dear Falvey...

 

Justin Haley, dear Twins fan, dear Twins fan...

 

He's a Rule 5, dear Falvey, dear Falvey...

 

Give a chance, dear Twins fan, dear Twins fan...

 

Send him back, dear Falvey, dear Falvey...

 

Cleared a spot, dear Twins fan, dear Twins fan....

 

Need a LOOGY, dear Falvey, dear Falvey...

 

Taylor Rogers, dear Twins fan, dear Twins fan...

 

He's a keeper, dear Falvey, dear Falvey...

 

Let's try Chrissy, dear Twins fan, dear Twins fan...

 

He's a catcher, dear Falvey, dear Falvey...

 

Oh yeah, dear Twins fan, dear Twins fan...

 

Still need help, dear Falvey, dear Falvey...

 

Trading Kintzler, dear Twins fan, dear Twins fan...

 

What the heck, dear Falvey, dear Falvey...

 

We're out of it, dear Twins fan, dear Twins fan...

 

We want Red Wings, dear Falvey, dear Falvey...

 

Here comes Hildy, dear Twins fan, dear Twins...

 

He's a stud, dear Falvey, dear Falvey...

 

Let's try Dillon, dear Twins fan, dear Twins fan...

 

Who's the closer, dear Falvey, dear Falvey...

 

Matt Belisle, dear Twins fan, dear Twins fan...

 

Still a hole in our bullpen, dear Falvey, dear Falvey...

I think Escobar might get Sunday off. I don't think he's had a day since Sano went on the DL. With Monday an off day, it's two days in a row to recharge for that final push.

 

Be interesting to see who else might get off either tomorrow or Sunday. Mauer, Dozier and Polanco are pretty likely candidates as well.

[spinowner]

Going from first to third on an infield grounder. One of the Twins did that in the first game I ever attended in 1963. I don't remember who, but probably Zoilo.

[Darius]

Beautiful baserunning there.

Molitor said Mauer isn't getting anymore days off.
