Mauer has a grand total of TWO plate appearances with RISP this season. TWO!

[ashbury]

For all of our sakes, Mauer needs to go 4 for 4. What do we get if he goes 5 for 5?

 

You guys' comments are going to look hilarious in a few minutes when I switch my avatar to a dude in a speedo with a TC logo.

That would jinks Mauer and greatly reduce your newfound popularity.

There is no possible way that ball should fall.

This calls for a discussion on errors!

Hm, he's batting behind Dozier, FLorimon and Hicks either way. The primary difference with Mauer int he 2 hole is, you give Willingham, Morneau, Doumit, Plouffe, and Parmelee at bats before you burn one on Dozier/Florimon.

 

If it were up to me, I'd bat all those guys before Hicks too.

[Guest USAFChief]

Well, this is starting well.

You have a picture of a dude in a speedo WITH tan lines AND a TC logo?!

Clearly he is jinxing Hicks.

[Ultima Ratio]

Throw the triple play ball.

[Ultima Ratio]

So that "IS" an error, right? No, no, no.... it's a double.

[Alex]

Wait, no error? That hit is glove! This may be a night I change the channel before it's over.

No, but the "double" to Mastro's glove does.

[ashbury]

Correia used up all the pitching karma in 7 innings last night.

[Guest USAFChief]

Maybe the Twins should start charging $15 to watch "catching pop flies" practice.

[ashbury]

What, and have to go through all the paperwork for refunds? "They didn't catch any."

[Guest USAFChief]

5-1, top two. Deja Vu all over again?

[snepp]

They should be paying us for that.

[ashbury]

Gardy didn't have anyone warming up in the bullpen to start the inning, again??? Oh well, good job keeping a 5-run first from turning into a disaster. I'm going to go grab some dinner.

[Pius Jefferson]

Someone start up the rain dance in Kansas City.

[TheLeviathan]

Those concerns about team defense are starting to rear their ugly heads.

 

Nice double for Plouffe though. Opposite field baby.

[Guest USAFChief]

I disagree, Bert. It's not a good AB to ground weakly to 2nd base.

[LaBombo]

+1. And down by four. Let's burn some outs!

[Guest USAFChief]

I miss Hicks.

[Ultima Ratio]

I miss Hicks.

wow.... lot of action....

[glunn]

I was thinking about going home early to watch this game, but not now.

[Brock Beauchamp]

Well, this is fun.

[Riverbrian]

My wife took the remote from me and put on "The Voice".

 

I said "Hey"

 

She said "What's the score"?

 

I have no argument.

[Alex]

What are the Royals charging for tonight's BP?
