Didn't watch last night's game?

Yeah, I did. I thought it last night, too, but tonight is even worse.

Was the video on?

[Halsey Hall]

Diamond finished the 4th, but I don't know if he can polish off a 5th.

[NC-Twins]

The lineup to which David Wells threw a perfect game was a dandy.

I saw that game, but I think at least half of our lineup was above .250 and I seem to think we had at least one .300 hitter in the lineup.

[twinsnorth49]

Whoa, that was a lucky break....and a terrible play.

[twinsnorth49]

Roy just called Drew, Sal.....wha ha ha!!!

[NC-Twins]

I checked. 5 plus .250 hitters. Nobody over .300. Uglier than I remember:

Any Jon Shave sightings lately?

[Squirrel]

That's it for me. An up too early tomorrow. G'night.

[big dog]

Dang, we're down 1-0. I was hoping we kept them scoreless- then we go to penalty kicks, and at that point anything can happen. Now we're in trouble.

[NC-Twins]

I don't even remember Shave or Gates.

Now where did I put those damn paddles!

[big dog]

OK, here you go, from September 20, 1981. Avg and OPS

Hosken Powell, .238/.625

Rob Wilfong .245/.646

Mickey Hatcher, .263/.657

Glenn Adams, .204/.545 That's your DH, with an OPS of .545

Tim Corcoran, .158/.443 That's your power-hitting first baseman

Dave Engle, .240/.663

Gary Gaetti, .333/1.667 But to be fair, it was his first game and he went 1 for 3 w/ a HR

Sal Butera, .240/.618

Ron Washington, .205/.528

Announcer: Next up is Jon Wojehowicz from Poland. To slide into medal contention. He'll need at least an 8.5 from the judges.

[big dog]

Aug 26, 1981. They used 13 field players. The highest BA was .263 (John Castino). The highest OPS was .705 (Herbie). Your shortstop was Lenny Faedo, .167/.333. Your DH was Chuck Baker, .164/.364. Three Twins batting over .250 (out of 13). Two Twins with an OPS over .640 (Herbie and Danny Goodwin).

You know, Diamond's throwing a heck of a game here, against a pretty hot team and a sizzling pitcher. Props.

Probably saved his spot for his next start.

Its my understanding that you dropped your policy with Allstate. That's very disappointing.
