Mirandized!!

[Mill1634]

HIP HIP! Vintage Polanco right there.

[snotboogie]

Who needs bombas?

[USAFChief]

Hip Hip...!!

[Buffy the Twins Fan]

Polanco hitting balls outside the zone is a thing of beauty

[CRF]

Expect a 1-0 game and we'll probably get a slug-fest from the scrubs.

He does if he expects to keep getting the nod at first base.

[USAFChief]

A CROOKED NUMBER!!! I'm dumbfounded. Flabergasted even.

[glunn]

Stashak starting to deal now.

[CRF]

I think we're gonna need a bigger boat...OOPS...sorry, wrong movie. I think we're gonna need more runs!

Morneau on the pitching situation: "Everyone who's available is going to be an option today."

So we can assume everyone not available won't be an option?  Good analysis, Captain Obvious.

[Mill1634]

How about we get Lewis's first SB?

[terrydactyls]

By the way, I'm in Maine and can't view the game.  For some reason, even though it is on MLB network, it's blacked out here.  So could someone throw in the score once in a while?

[bighat]

Kirilloff back to rolling over the ball and chopping it to 2nd.

AK -- AAA -- ASAP.

An Oakland A's - Minnesota Twins game is blacked out in MAINE?

 

MLB is seriously screwed up.

4-3 Twins.  Men on 1st and 2nd.

[Mill1634]

Celestino with 2 more hits which necessitates this being reposted

Still 4-3 Twins, two men on and two out for Kepler.

[glunn]

I am liking Celestino a lot and am thinking that he could start on some other teams.

[Mill1634]

If only one of Gordon or Celestino are in the lineup at one time -- it should be Celestino every single time.

Circus Boy Update?

Right elbow inflammation the reason for Paddack's exit, says Dick Bremer.

That ain't good.

[USAFChief]

Yeesh, Kepler.

Well, Maine is close to an ocean and Oakland is close to an ocean.

[CRF]

It's still 4-3 Twins going into the top of the 5th. It's beautiful up in Maine. We used to go to Wells and York Beach for vacations when I was a youngster. Would love to get out there again some day.

Oh no! Can we return him and Pagan and have Rogers back? I guess not, huh.
