Adams... Not a founding father of the pen. Guess Ober will soon be up and Funderburk sent down? ***Barring trades.

Twins have TBD scheduled to pitch on Wednesday, so probably

[karcherd]

I am so excited, we have Tonkin back.  Is there really no one else that could provide the same production with more upside that could be called up.

The pipeline is not flowing yet. 
Hopefully SWR can keep spinning his new formula.

Now if Paddack is gone, it would seem likely.

Brutal lineup, no Buck no Bader. Welcome to the post sale.. Willi is penciled in.

[mnfireman]

Looking at tonight's line-up, I think the team is in sell mode...

Buck still has soreness in his side.

Of course. And Jeffers on Paternity. Unless we swing a trade with Boston it is what it is. Can't put up less than zero runs at any rate.. and Keirsey might save one.

We could be playing a markedly different Cleveland team this weekend.

No IL for Buck, just going to keep playing short handed, every year, year after year.

So missing three of their best hitters, I can't wait to read how this is Baldelli's fault (I'm no fan, but I'm also almost reasonable).

[mrtwinsfan]

Bader  not in the lineup ??   is he gone and we just dont know yet ?  why else ?  or is it his Batting lately no better than Kiersey ?  the reason

There MIGHT be 4 legit MLB hitters in the lineup. Maybe.

Chicken thighs in the smoker accompanied by their good friend hickory chips.

Maybe I'll do that tomorrow. Good idea.

The asking price for Jax or Duran just went up a couple more ticks...

Do you marinate them or add dry rub? Or just smoke them plain?

I dry rub....most marinade never really makes it into meat.....I know, you didn't ask me. Sue me.

If a trade is in the works generally the player isn't playing. Could be just a day off.
