Just get him a chicken gizzard blizzard and all will be well.

Him and I are just gonna have to sweat it out at 8 or 9 PM. Fortunately for us it will still be 90 degrees at that time.

Tony gets company in Arizona.

"CHICAGO -- The White Sox announced executive vice president Ken Williams and general manager Rick Hahn have been relieved for their responsibilities, effective immediately."

That's what I thought too.  That isn't shocking to me at all.  Perhaps the timing, but I fully expected something to happen there.

The shocking part is that it took this long

I second that thought, as it's also a steam bath of a day where I live (just outside Indianapolis).

It’s not that bad in Chicago. Tomorrow, otoh, and Thursday, don’t look so good

What did Yoda say when he saw himself on a 4K TV?

so the latest waiver wire pickup is batting third for the Twins.

 

 

Yeah, I can see Luplow in the lineup, but batting 3rd?

I'm guessing he didn't repeat "When 900 years old you are, look as good, you will not".

Just goes to show how desperate this team is for a guy who crushes lefties. Surprised they didn't call up Garlick and bat him 4th!

How about, "I didn't know I was green"

With the way that crowd reacted to the fly, I wonder if Dick has relatives in Milwaukee

No sir.

[USAFChief]

Just can't throw that pitch. Terrible.

[RpR]

Ah, a walk and a home run, tsk, tsk, tsk.

Ober is becoming the wrong kind of home run king.

[IaBeanCounter]

Walk will haunt

 

[bighat]

Oof. 

[bighat]

Not a great 1st inning here. 

[USAFChief]

Ober appears to have run out of magic pixie dust.

[CRF]

In the hole already. 

[RpR]

Twins bats had better be hitting the ball tonight, pitching may have a problem.

Somehow he will still have 2 runs allowed in the 6th.

I hope so, but color me skeptical

[Aggies7]

Not much worth in a starting pitcher who can’t pitch into august without falling to pieces

How bout a hitter that can't maintain .400?
