If Brock hits you with a high fastball, it's referred to as a Pain Stewart.

I thought it was referred to as a Beauchamp

He didn’t like stolen base attempts, I don’t think 

Earl was also generally an eschewer of the sac bunt, using it 16 percent less than the league average.

Oh my................Bremer just announced that Mike Shannon passed away.  Another childhood memory has passed on. RIP

Vazquez’s defense leaves a lot to be desired 

At least his name isn't Sanchez.

Watching the white Sox blow another lead against the Rays. They are really, really, really bad. What a quick fall from competitiveness.

And MLB wants to expand despite a handful of teams being utterly abysmal.

Glad I caught some radio booth in the past with him doing color.

Thanks for the heads up.

 

Later sounds like an interesting name for a player...

We get Later and Norm Cash? 

[Craig Arko]

Welcome back, Josh.

I expect the owners to manage this behind closed doors this winter. Game is being diminished.

Cleveland lost again as well. I think the Twins are going into this roadtrip with alot of good mojo.

Wasn't me. I don't do Twitter. But I'm vindicated.

Any self-respecting Minnesotan should know that, lol.

But if somebody is going to be abysmal, it might as well be Chicago.

Will you be offering season long passes?

Sure, just as long as @Squirrelgives me a discount.  I'll buy extra "tickets" and sell them for more than I paid, but less than you would pay directly.

I mentioned this the other day but it bears updating…

Coming in to today, there are THREE teams on pace to have winning %’s which would rank in the top ten worst OF ALL TIME

The A’s are currently on pace for the 3rd worst ever, and the royals and white sox are tied for 8th

The 1899 Cleveland spiders were 20-134 (.129)

[rwilfong86]

Bullpen always has to make things interesting. 

[Squirrel]

****, finish this off!

I guess the new CBA was designed for parody, not parity?

$1619 for you

[Squirrel]

Well ****. What a waste.

[Squirrel]

Glad they have a day off tomorrow. Hope Duran has it together today

[Aggies7]

Having to use duran in this game is not remotely ideal 

[RickOShea]

The Twins just don't have the 'killer instinct'.  They consistently fail to put a game away.  Whether it's the BP, defense or just decisions, they allow the opposition multiple opportunities.  We can only thank we're playing the Royals, and not Houston, Cleveland or some other clubs who have a clue on what to do.

That's for 162 tickets, right?

The game was put away in the 2nd inning

Winnah! And now let's extend a losing streak in Chi.
