I admire the Twins' decision to wear uniforms today.

It lends a little credibility to the theory that they're at work and doing their jobs, rather than just some dudes who know each other from school and get a game together on weekends sometimes.

Refer to the Carol Burnett show post.

Why are Jeffers and Rortvedt BOTH still with the Twins; they make Sano's at bats look like Ted Williams.

Who's this Sano, you talk about?

When will someone in the Twins' FO, finally stand up during a game like this, and have security physically remove Baldelli for the dugout.  I don't care if he's at fault 0%, 33% or 100%.  He's providing nothing remotely positive for this team.  No one can even hold their head up, like they're playing aggressive or smart baseball.   He's just an extra seat on the plane or an extra buffet plate.  We would not be in worse shape, if he took a powder.

I want blood. I demand heads to roll for this collection of players.

Because the Twins want to make Sano look like Ted Williams?  Even their marketing people have probably figured out that Sano's not gonna do it, and there's still that warehouse full of Sano bobbleheads to give away...

I don't hear the television broadcast much, but I really like how Bremer blamed the runs in the third inning on the ballboy not getting out of the way of the Jake Rogers double. 

For the Twins today, it all went downhill from there, probably.

An Austrian company that makes portable stair climbers.

Twins' bench looks like a bunch of Mike Vick's  whipped proteges.

20 bucks says those heads end a rally by rolling into a double play.

Sano’s splits over the last 28 days…the longest BR provides…(beyond the 365-day split) are easily better than several in the lineup today, including the blue-chip rookies.

Since nothing is going on this game, check out this egregious errors by the Mets. 
 

 

I think Rojas is gonna be a few $$$ lighter and might be able to stay home for a few days

Send him down and bring up Toby

At least an early start means the game ended earlier.

 

I fell asleep as we started allowing runs, and didn't see a reason to wake up each time i rolled over to check the score...
