Fortunately I don't think I'll need to do that for a couple more weeks.

2 days in a row with a bad play at 3B by Miranda.

He's in the lineup for his Bat

And a couple of days ago after he was lauded by the MLB TV guys for his tag play and throw double play.

So is Lopez just going to fall off a cliff after signing his extension?

Heavy Wallet is a quite common professional sports disease.

Dear Pablo,

Don’t ever do that to me again.

Could be worse. Could be raining.

[Parfigliano]

I would have given Miranda an E

Ya gotta tell the whole story. It's like saying John wilkes booth got off a good shot.

or snowing.

[Parfigliano]

Run Byron run

[cHawk]

I don't know why but this feels eerily similar to the series two years ago against Pittsburgh at home.

[RickOShea]

The Kepler rollover dp is a coming.

[stringer bell]

"Cleanup hitter" Max Kepler.

Not raining, but the report says it's Kuhl.

[RickOShea]

My bad.

[OvertheHill]

Neither Kepler nor Miranda should be in a Twins starting lineup right now. 

[stringer bell]

Sigh.

[Vanimal46]

I haven’t counted how many different lineups we’ve had over 20 games. But most games all you gotta do is look at who is batting cleanup to be sorely reminded how much another bat is needed. 

[CRF]

Reminds me of that old Carl Douglas song...everybody was "K"-Fu fighting!

[CoastiePilot08]

Checking in to say Kepler sucks and glad he’s hitting cleanup now. 
 

Must have some pretty wild pictures or videos of the Baldelli family. 

[RickOShea]

Somebody go get rocco from the clubhouse.  He's missing some clutch strikeouts from Kuhl.

I'd wager 20. It's how Rocco confuses the opponents.

It's Navy-out day.  Every fan got a Buxton navy blue jersey to wear.  Every fan looks like this.  

[RickOShea]

Damn. We know it's cold.  We can see the results of being cold.  So let's move on.  this game is not going to be called because of the cold.  Talk about beating, reviving, then re-beating a dead horse.

[CRF]

The cold temps are giving Vazquez "brain freeze".
