Article: Game Thread: Twins @ White Sox, 5/3 - 7:10pm CT

That one had to have stung a bit for the front office.

Meanwhile, in Rochester, Slegers got lit up pretty good by the Iron Piggies from the Lehigh Valley (10 hits and 5 runs in 6-1/3).

[Aggies7]

It’s just never going to be easy this year, is it?

[Mill1634]

Well, hope the bullpen has this in them

[Riverbrian]

 

The thought has suddenly occurred to me. What if the Twins have finally discovered their competitive level.

 

It probably won't get the same kind of press that Columbus got for his discovery. 

[Mill1634]

STRIKE EM OUT, THROW EM OUT!!!!

[Riverbrian]

Strike em out -- throw em out. 

 

Just what the Doctor Ordered. 

[OTPS300]

To win or to lose? Never mind, stupid question by me.

Well, hope the bullpen has this in them

I hope the offensive has it in them to not leave it up to the bullpen.

[Blake]

 

Not sure what that's supposed to mean, but I live on the south side ... in a great neighborhood.

Jason Castro's nice throwout showing why the Twins are fine with his slash line of .153/.24 ....

 

Holy crap, Castro is hitting .153 ?!? What the...

Is there some way sLoMo can just kick Lopez around the rest of the season instead of facing all the other guys who can get him out every time?

[Mill1634]

LoMo just needs a triple

And Morrison is also justified by his defense from the DH position.

 

 

[LaBombo]

Dick mentions that Morrison needs only the triple for the cycle, and somewhere in Central America an altar is prepared for a potential once-in-a-millennium event.

Gotta think odorizzi has run out of gas. Needs to be pulled NOW

[Mill1634]

Molly, you gotta go pull Jake. 

[Aggies7]

Nah just leave him in there til we no longer lead, paul

[Riverbrian]

Careful what you wish for. You just might get it. 

[USAFChief]

Five pitch walk, not particularly competitive pitches.

 

I would not let Odorizzi lose the lead here.

[Aggies7]

How sad is it that we can’t find a starter to finish six measly innings

[Aggies7]

Swung at ball 4

[Mill1634]

So Rogers is still alive.

 

Thought he may have disappeared. 

 

Now go use him molly. 

[Riverbrian]

Davidson will be his last batter. 

 

Rogers will be brought in to face Palka

[USAFChief]

SOOOOOO, this afternoon, I once again stopped for a beer at my favorite neighborhood beer joint. I had to...there are a bunch of us regulars, and today was one regular's birthday. I won't tell you Morty's age, but it's a large number.

 

Anywho, the rest of us had planned a little surprise party, and as part of the festivities, we had arranged for a young lady to jump out of a huge birthday cake.

 

Well, it went just as planned...she jumps out of the cake, saunters up to Morty, and says to him in a sultry voice, "Happy birthday, Morty! I'm here to give you super sex!"

 

Morty looks at her...long pause...and finally says "I'll take the soup."

Gotta think odorizzi has run out of gas. Needs to be pulled NOW

 

Like the Prius, Ororizzi can continue after running out of gas.

 

Also like the Prius, after running out of gas Odorizzi is limited to 18 mph, and isn't going to get you very far.

I love when Paul plays with fire

[USAFChief]

 

I love when Paul plays with fire

 

Paul, too, likes to live dangerously.

[Riverbrian]

That's a tough question. I'm normally pretty happy so I have trouble finding a comparison point for levels of sadness. 

 

If I were to guess... I'd say it is somewhere between: A Puppy being run over by a semi and I dropped my pez dispenser in the toilet.

Warming his hands by the fire at that
