Everyone hold your cards. We will check if this a good one. Next Game is Blackout. 55 numbers or less.

I forgot about Busenitz. We are the Filler B's.

Hey I just realized that we have Belisle, Breslow and Boshers in the Bullpen. We got our own killer B's.

Yeah FSN is spending a lot of time looking back at the Polanco Bunt Attempt. I'd rather they played those two strike calls against Vargas in a loop.

I just looked up Heath Hembree to figure out where he was from and it says "Pleistocene Epoch".

Baseball Commissioner: Hey Derek... This is a courtesy call letting you know that the vote passed and starting next season the strike zone will be automated. Derek: NOOOO!!! You can do that!!! Baseball Commissioner: I'm not sure why you are concerned about It. Every pitch will be called correctly from here on out. We have the technology... this will be good for baseball. Derek: Hey... I just spent 24 million on a pitch framer. You can't do this now. Wait a couple of years if you don't mind.

Not me Vargas can drive one at any moment.

Alright... I have officially changed my mind. Automate that strike zone.

When I think of Tuba... I think of clumsy cartoon bear walking.

Kicker making at least 6 figures who can't consistently make a FG under 45 yards.

And Pants

I wouldn't unless that Sport Almanac in Biff's pocket suggested that I should. Otherwise... I'll stay with Berrios and all that service time he has left.

Yes it does. But after all these years... I've decided that "Ish" is anything liquid like. If I'm wrong... It doesn't matter because I'm going with that so I don't end up diving back into that pool.

Post of the night thus far

When we went to Boston we stayed here. http://www.nantasketbeachresort.com/ It's on the Ocean and very affordable and a decent hotel to boot. We took a Ferry Across the Harbor and walked through the city of Boston to get to Fenway. I'd do that again... If I do Boston again... Which I probably won't.

One of the great thinkers of our time… Eddie Vedder once said: “The best revenge is to live on and prove yourself”. Take that Cleveland! Jeremy spoke in class this weekend and he said “We’re Still Alive”. I wish we had someone on the team named Jeremy because this section would have tied together better that way. Now it’s four games in Boston at Fenway Park. The Twins are Smokin’ and Feelin’ Satisfied. It’s More Than a Feeling to have this kind of Peace of Mind… So… Don’t Look Back. Here are some things to think about: 1. Boston – I’ve been to Boston once in my life and it was a nice visit but once was enough. I remember losing my pants in the hotel room. I swore I brought some Khakis but I couldn’t find them in my luggage and I was looking around the hotel room when the maid came in and asked what I was looking for. I told her that I couldn’t find my Khakis and she held up my car keys and said “they are right here”. I said “Thanks” and went for a drive around Boston without pants. 2. Our Twins – Just like that… we are back in first place. The experts don’t know what to say. They keep saying the same thing over and over. They still expect the Indians to eventually run away with the Central and they still don’t believe in the Twins. The Twins obviously can’t read. 3. The Red Sox – Things have been below average for the Red Sox this past week. They lost 2 out of 3 to the Angels over the weekend and they lost 2 out of 3 to the Royals before that. Expectations were high for the Red Sox and they are sitting tied for 1st place but it’s not like the starting pitching has held up. Chris Sale is the only starter that is punching teams out on a regular basis and that’s who we get to face tonight. 4. Today’s Joe M Conversation: Mauer: Hey, Joe… can you look this over and see if it looks alright. McCarthy: What is it? Mauer: It’s a letter to Twins payroll department. I’m asking for all 23 million in one big check. Maddon: Why? Mauer: I’m tired of running to the bank every time I get a smaller check like this one. Montana: Smaller check? That check is 1.6 million. Mauer: I’d rather do it all in one trip. McCarthy: You spelled receive wrong. Mauer: I can never spell that word right. I’m bad at spelling. Maddon: Use mnemonic devices… they help with spelling. Montana: I before E except after C… that's a mnemonic device. Mauer: Receive… I before E except after C… hey, that works… is it always like that? Maddon: Yep Mauer: That’s weird. McCarthy: With mnemonics I can spell any word. Mauer: How do you spell mnemonic? McCarthy: I don’t know. 5. Invisible Ink – I bought an invisible ink pen about 20 years ago. I think it’s still working but I can’t be sure. _____________________ Lineups: TWINS Brian Dozier 2B Eduardo Escobar DH Miguel Sano 3B Robbie Grossman RF Kennys Vargas 1B Jorge Polanco SS Chris Gimenez C Eddie Rosario LF Byron Buxton CF Jose Berrios P RED SOX Mookie Betts RF Dustin Pedroia 2B Xander Bogaerts SS Mitch Moreland 1B Andrew Benintendi LF Chris Young DH Jackie Bradley CF Sandy Leon C Tzu-Wei Lin 3B Chris Sale P Weather: sunny to partly cloudy, 76 deg F, no rain, winds up to 14mph from the WSW Play ball!

Cross away... As long as I don't end up crossing my arms in disgust after.

Wonderful. I was going to use that. Now I gotta come up with a new Joe M Conversation for Monday.

His fastball has some nice back up to it. Hopefully he can backdoor some right handed hitters with it. He's got another version of the fastball that doesn't for a little trickery. He's gotta get it down tho. I vote we keep him for awhile and see how he does.
