    It is very nice to have a 0-0 score going into the bottom of the 1st.

    My tale of (almost) woe from last night. Let the dog out about 9:30 or so and she races into the yard. Then all of a sudden she is barking up against the side of the house. I look and she has a SKUNK trapped there. So I'm yelling at her to get away but she just keeps barking. Fortunately one of the neighbors comes home and she hears her and races toward the neighbors. The neighbor is a vet and brings the dog home and visibly checks the skunk (which fortunately did not seem rabid). In the best news, the skunk did not spray the dog. Thank heavens. I've lived here 12 years and the only other time I've seen a skunk around was last year at the height of the drought. i am not happy about encroaching wildlife!! Back to your regularly scheduled game chat.

    Mauer last 14 days: [TABLE=class: sortable stats_table] [TR=class: hl] [TD=align: right].333 BA[/TD] [TD=align: right].360 OBP[/TD] [TD=align: right] .458 SLG[/TD] [TD=align: right] .818 OPS[/TD] [TD=align: right][/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE] Last 7 days: [TABLE=class: sortable stats_table] [TR=class: hl] [TD=align: right].375 BA[/TD] [TD=align: right].423 OBP[/TD] [TD=align: right].500 SLG[/TD] [TD=align: right].923 OPS[/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE] Let's hope this means he has finally figured it out and is coming around. No matter what, much better to see him going in this direction (UP).

    Always liked to change that to "A little bit country; a little bit rocky road." Twins definitely know about the latter. I guess Dozier provides the former.

    Well, Pino's wife and daughters are apparently going to be in the TC for tonight's start. But Polanco's mom didn't make it to TX so keeping him up a few more days might allow for her to be in MSP. So I say go for Jeremy's plan. But what if Pino is light's out tonight???

    Maybe we should have a little larger sample size.

    Mike Berardino ‏@MikeBerardino 8m #mntwins are expected to activate Plouffe, Nunez off DL Monday. Florimon seems certain to be optioned, but Polanco has given them a dilemma.

    I think they learned from Phil Hughes. And I really don't think the Twins are used to the Texas heat.
  9. JB_Iowa
    It's also pretty hot in Texas. But nice that they finally won one.
  10. JB_Iowa
    Well a walk should at least make you stay around.
  11. JB_Iowa
    Skunk-y beer .... what a treat.
  12. JB_Iowa
    Won't they send both of them down since it sounds like both Plouffe and Nunez are coming back? Unless they send a pitcher down but I don't really see that.
  13. JB_Iowa
    Better than a lot of alternatives.
  14. JB_Iowa
    And they had that chemical smell when they were developing.

    I'm still trying to figure out why anyone would want to take her husband along curtain shopping. Just send money.
  16. JB_Iowa
    He did have something nice to say -- just not about his defense: Mike Berardino ‏@MikeBerardino 19m Gardy on Polanco: "He’s a talented kid. He can run. He’s got a good arm. He’s a work in progress defensively. He's 20 years old."
  17. JB_Iowa
    Mike Berardino ‏@MikeBerardino 13m Gardy on Parmelee in center: "Big outfield. Hopefully our sinkerballer (Gibson) will not give up flyballs." Mike Berardino ‏@MikeBerardino 12m Asked about rookie Jorge Polanco at short, Gardy (without missing a beat): "We don’t want any groundballs either." Guess we're looking for a 27 strike-out perfect game from Gibson today.
  18. JB_Iowa
    Or just a muddled mess .... and that's what it is looking more and more like to me.
  19. JB_Iowa
    He's finally starting Polanco! Be still my heart!
  20. JB_Iowa
    Hughes withstood the heat pretty well although the 8th is ugly.
  21. JB_Iowa
    On second thought, skip the L'Oreal. I'm betting 95% of the gray was men. Every woman I know loses weight and gets her hair colored and cut before a reunion.
  22. JB_Iowa
    Just tell her to send along some "Just For Men" and L'Oreal tonight. No worries.
  23. JB_Iowa
    Good daughter.
  24. JB_Iowa
    Tried Sherlock but just couldn't get into it. I've never even looked at Doctor Who but then I'm not much into sci-fi. But thanks for the heads up.
  25. JB_Iowa
    Yep -- because I could be watching reruns of White Collar on Fox.
