Pedro: "Hey guys, look at me! I'm Liam. Dur, dur, I give up a hit. Dur, dur, I give up another hit. Just like Liam. Dur dur, now a run's in. Dur, dur, now a walk. Hey guys! Why aren'tcha laffin? OK, I'll get the last out. Buncha wet blankets."

Speaking of Liam, Dick says he's the long man today.

 

Well, "long" meaning "first."

 

Could be a record breaker today

Piece of pie? I didn't think so.

That courtesy of chief, and my new 'go to' phrase ... poop on pumpernickel.

"Pitch-to-Contact, we have contact." Just love those prescient comments from DickBert: "Pedro needs to pitch more inside", "Pedro needs to pitch into the 7th inning"; "None of the team took batting practice before the game, the A's are taking it now."

 

Wow.

Yeah, it's rough. I am not a fan of Dickbert, but they definitely have a terrible job right now.

 

We should change our name to the Washington Senators. Not as a homage to the team that was before they came to Minnesota but to the one that plays the Harlem Globetrotters.

[GCTF]

Liam Hendriks just recorded 3 outs without giving up 6 runs in between.

[GCTF]

Pedro Hernandez sure seems hittable.

 

He's no Liriano.

[GCTF]

Where else can you pop out to the 22 yard line?

[mikeee]

pa-floof!

[Willihammer]

He's no Liriano.

Psh, didn't need him

[mikeee]

good job liam.

[ashbury]

Liam: "Hey guys, look at me! I'm Pedro! No wait, I'm not! I'm getting major league hitters out (except for the doubles). Jerk."

Washington Generals.

[ashbury]

Washington Generals.

 

Timberwolves. They never played in Washington though, went straight to the Globetrotter circuit.

Whether or not Gardy gets to 1,000, I think that this should be his last season with the Twins. In my opinion, it's time for a new manager, preferably from an organization that does more with less, like the Rays or Oakland.

I just don't see that happening. I mean, from outside the organization, as much as it makes sense to all of us. But, I'm open to being surprised.

On field note--is it me or are the only two guys putting up consistent big league at-bats Dozier and Pinto?

Um, I don't think it's you.

[stringer bell]

Doesn't look like Texas is playing along with the "A's clinch tonight" plan.

[ashbury]

Pedro: "Hey, Liam. It can happen to anyone. Right?"

[ashbury]

Twins' new mascot:

Well, then, if the Rangers win tonight ... then they and we HAVE to win tomorrow, or we are going to be on field watching another team celebrate. Ugh. Hate that.

[Squirrel]

I might have to make some more apple crisp tonight.

[ashbury]

I made cupcakes. Come on over.

[ashbury]

For the benefit of CTTF I am trying out this rookie Rally Avatar, in a very low-leverage situation.

[ashbury]

Twins have announced they are cancelling the rest of the season.

Ninth Inning Caption Contest! I'll go first (or second, if that was Winnie's entry):

 

Andy: Keeping me as coach next year?

Gardy: <lengthy pause> Uh, sure. As long as I am manager, you've got a job.
