I am gonna go home now so I can watch some of Albers pitching.

[Chance]

The goal is to get guys out. I could care less how they do it (unless they are fly ball outs to the warning track). Keep the WHIP down and create bad contact and I am happy!

[buckninetyone]

Ah - what's happening?

 

hey HEY hey!

Life is much simpler for me. A warm shower makes me happy.

[Squirrel]

Ha! Great!

[big dog]

anyone know if Albers has thrown a 1st pitch strike to every batter? Seems like it.

 

I think one batter saw a ball on the first pitch, otherwise all strikes.

[VATwinsFan]

Balk!

 

Thank you, thank you very much.

I figured he was posting from the family photo album.

I never really needed a reason.

Pretty good game thread and with the Twins surprising the Royals so far, it makes it more fun. I am just catching up and will comment on many things all at once--Colabello can hit homers, but he needs to make contact more. Albers has been very impressive (reminds me of one Scott Diamond when he was recalled in 2012) and the makeshift lineup has put up 5 already on a really good pitcher. My wife is half Filipino, so I guess I understand some of the magic of Asians. I've been married for longer than most of you have been alive, probably in part because of laundry and food. Patty Blyleven's broadside is the ultimate in sour grapes, but I wouldn't doubt that it was true. Not a big fan of B-dub, but I like BBQ. Players on the 40-man become free agents after six years completed in the majors. However, if they complete a certain number of years in the minors, they can become minor league FAs. Also, minor leaguers are protected from being buried by the Rule 5 draft and the limited number of options. Finally, I am totally behind Morneau being traded in August. I hope his recent power surge will garner some interest and somebody is going to lose a first baseman or DH in the next couple of weeks.

I assumed it was what my daughters call a "selfie".

[ashbury]

I just wanted to say...this was freaking AWEsome.

 

If you enjoyed reading it just half as much as I enjoyed typing it, well, then I enjoyed it twice as much as you.

Looks like that cat owns that guy.

Wow. Too much all at once. That made my head hurt!

[ashbury]

Well, mines lasted 28 years so far. I must be a saint.

 

TMI, my brother.

[Riverbrian]

My wife is half Filipino.

 

The Upper or Lower Half?

[ashbury]

They gotta be Vinagar Based... Bone In... Traditional.... Not breaded.

 

We're still talking about Asian women, right?

[IdahoPilgrim]

The Upper or Lower Half?

 

You need to think 3-dimensionally - it could be the right or left half or the front or back half also.

[Gibby]

The Upper or Lower Half?

 

My wife just asked what the hell is so funny.

[gil4]

it is games like tonight that make all Twins fans have hope for the future

 

Yep, we're gullible that way

[big dog]

So if we leave Albers in for 100 pitches does that mean he starts the game tomorrow?

[Squirrel]

My wife just asked what the hell is so funny.

 

Tell her.

Whoops! Kids, go finish that homework and get to bed! School night.

 

Some lessons are best learned early, and not at the doctor's office a week too late.

 

[ashbury]

That reads different if you take out "School".

 

So does yours. Not funnier, not better; just different. "That reads different if you take out".
