    He needs a rest... He's facing a tough right hander... He got stuck in Chicago Traffic trying to find your place... He's got a sore throat. The dog ate his batting gloves and... Bert Blyleven said something mean about his Mississippi accent and he refuses to play.

    Any GM will tell you the Super 2 is never a consideration. Actually I snuck into Terry Ryan's office to use the bathroom... He has a big calender on the wall. The Calender is marked with specific steps for the improvement of the franchise. It said... "June 14 2014... Step 9... Relegate utility infielders to 7th in the order".

    That guy with the Sax... Just doesn't belong.

    Big Dog summed it up very nicely. Trevor is capable of so much more. I don't get worked up over Clete Thomas... Besides Clete doesn't coast out there. Trevor Plouffe needs to get dirty and help his team win... I don't get upset with poor metrics... Everybody slumps and If you are not hitting... There are still things you can do to help your team win. It's those other things that I fail to see Plouffe do and if he's not hitting he needs to do them. It ain't about numbers to me. Anyway... I appreciated his getting dirty yesterday and the play he made getting dirty helped the team win... Clearly helped the team win... I just wanted to say... Alright... That's how you do it.

    Twins: SP Liam Hendriks CF Presley 2B Escobar 3B Plouffe LF Arcia DH Willingham 1B Parmelee C Pinto RF Herrmann SS Florimon White Sox: Erik Johnson CF De Aza SS Ramirez 3B Gillaspie 1B Konerko DH Dunn LF Viciedo RF Danks 2B Beckham C Anderson Things to Think About: 1. Think about the White Sox... I can't start a game thread... Game One... Against the White Sox... Without stating how much I hate the White Sox... I want them punished. 2. Think about Liam Hendriks... Will he pitch well... Will he struggle?? That's a good question... Let's find out. 3. Think about Trevor Plouffe... Batting in the 3 spot... Moving up in the world. 4. Think about Ron Gardenhire... 4 wins away from 1,000... 14 Games to go... Does he make it... It's not a given... that is for sure. 5. Think about Lies... I was talking to a friend the other day and telling him one of my stories... He looked me in the eye and said "You're Lying". I responded with "Yes I am... But hear me out anyway".

    Dear Trevor, I've been hard on your defense... Defensive effort mainly... I've rarely seen you take a hit away with extra effort while manning the hot corner. Today you took one away and fair is fair. Just want to say I saw it and it was huge for your team. Runners on 2nd and 3rd... One Out... Your team (and mine) is down 3-0 and Pedro is needing the help big time. You are playing Up... hard grounder down the line and you dove to your right and took a hit away at that moment that would have plated two more runs. Without that play... The Twins may not have won today. Most likely wouldn't have won actually. Everybody loves Pinto right now for his clutch homer (it was awesome). The truth is... You helped Pinto be a hero by keeping the game close enough for him to become one. That's team baseball!!! Pinto is feeling great because of your effort and Pedro was pumped leaving the mound after your play and the play by Doumit helped him out. Plays like the one you made are how games are won and lost. Saving two runs from scoring is just as good as hitting a two run homer. I know I've been hard on you so I wanted to point out publicly that I see the good when it happens. You've had that ability all along... It was good to see. Nice Job!!! More please!!!

    If Doumit ran like Ben Revere... He would have been safe.

    Is everyone watching the Vikes?

    Rays: SP David Price CF Jennings 2B Zobrist 3B Longoria RF Myers DH Young 1B Loney SS Escobar LF Rodriquez C Molina Twins: SP Pedro Hernandez CF Presley LF Mastroianni 2B Dozier RF Doumit 3B Plouffe DH Willingham C Pinto 1B Parmelee SS Escobar Things to Think About: 1. Think about Runs... Every time a runner crosses home plate a run is put up on the board. At the end of the game... The Team that produces the most runs is the winner. The Twins haven't scored a run in 19 innings. I'd like to complain about the pitching but we haven't scored a run in 19 innings. 2. Think about David Price... We haven't scored a run in 19 innings and now we get to face David Price 3. Think about Oswaldo Arcia... We are facing a tough lefthander and the left handed hitting Arcia is on the bench... I assume because we are facing a tough lefthander. 4. Think about Chris Colabello... Arcia is on the bench because we are facing a tough lefthander... Yet... The Right handed Colabello is on the bench in favor of the left handed hitting Parmelee. 5. Think about Insomnia... I had been dealing with a little insomnia the past few weeks but I've found a cure for it... Turns out... I just needed to get some sleep. I got some sleep and the insomnia was cured.

    Its too bad my IPad doesn't have phone capability... I could just slam that thing into the side of my face when I get a call and read everything with my old eyes.

    Those are the Galaxy Notes... Mines pretty big but not as big but big enough. I wanted big for reading ease.

    Busy Day... My nephew was inducted into the University of North Dakota Hall of Fame today for Baseball. Inducted along side Pro Hockey player Greg Johnson... I proudly attended the banquet... Wore a nice shirt and pants and everything. The Football game didn't go so well. UND got trounced by a pretty talented Montana team. Good day all in all.

    Posting from my new phone... if someone could post the lineups... and could a mod remove yesterdays game thread.

    Spend on pitching please! The Twins get better when the pitching gets better. Tanaka Is alright with me.

    Rays: SP Chris Archer LF Dejesus 2B Zobrist 1B Loney 3B Longoria DH Johnson RF Myers CF Jennings C Molina SS Escobar Twins: SP Kevin Correia CF Presley C Pinto 2B Dozier DH Arcia 3B Plouffe 1B Parmelee LF Mastroianni RF Thomas SS Escobar Things to Think about: 1. Think about Escobar... Both Shortstops today have the last name Escobar and both are batting ninth. No real point to make... Just Think about it... Would You!!! 2. Think about Chris Archer... Archer was a former Cubs Prospect that the Rays acquired with a handful of others in the deal of Garza... We got Delmon Young in our deal for Garza. I didn't like that trade personally. 3. Think about Joe Maddon... Everybody loves Joe... Creative manager who puts out multiple lineups with players playing different positions every night. He's got good pitching so he wins... Or is that creativity? 4. Think about Ron Gardenhire... Just 5 wins from 1,000... Take that JOE!!! 5. Think about Research... I've requested a research grant to discover if research causes cancer in Rats. I'm just gonna research them and see what happens.

    A's: SP AJ Griffin CF Crisp 3B Donaldson SS Lowrie DH Cespedes 2B Callaspo LF Young RF Reddick C Norris 1B Barton Twins: SP Scott Diamond CF Presley C Pinto 2B Dozier RF Arcia DH Doumit LF Willingham 3B Plouffe 1B Colabello SS Florimon Things to Think About: Will have to be provided by the Game Threaders... Remember to number them as you come up with them. I got time for one 1. Think about 18 to 3... If the Twins pitching and defense would have shaved 15 runs off the A's output last night... It would have been a ball game. Today is a new day... Last night is in the rear view mirror.

    Some people call me Maurice.
  24. Riverbrian
    Uncle it is... I just yawned... My wife took the remote and said I see what the score is... I can't justify keeping the game on. Good Night
