    Aw, Dad. Poor ol' Hicksie. But that new puppy IS awful cute.

    Casey Fein is making his bid to be replaced by Gibson (if that happens), since somebody has to go. Having an option helps.

    Well, that play was interesting. Ellsbury caught it, it popped out and off the wall, he caught it again, then about 11 Twins were out on the basepaths. Very confusing- I can imagine the baserunners being confused.

    Ladies and Gentlemen, Ryan Pressley, your Twins Player of the Game.
  5. big dog
    Nice job, Elvis.
  6. big dog
    Maybe with Span in left and Revere in right....naw.

    It would be great to have Pressley get through this inning without too many problems. He's thrown some nice pitches. Can you imagine Gardy's face if TR said he was going to send Arcia down?

    I really like this version of the Twins' offense, though I don't think Jamie should be playing two nights in a row- if you can't get a hit tonight...
  9. big dog
    Hey, Pedro only gave up one run! Somehow.
  10. big dog
    Time for Swarzak...
  11. big dog
    Geez, we only got 7 runs in the second inning. What's wrong with this team?
  12. big dog
    Definitely time to have Florimon pee in the cup. Holy crap.
  13. big dog
    ...and it was good. I retract my 15-10 prediction. 15 runs may not win this game.
  14. big dog
    All right Hicks...now would be good.
  15. big dog
    According to MLB's pitchtracker, Hernandez is getting squeezed on both the high strike and the low strike. We could be looking at a 12-10 game. OK, 15-10.

    The TV feed I saw showed Gardy speaking to Hicks and Hicks listening intently. Gardy wasn't screaming and waving his arms. I didn't read any quotes from Gardy in the paper today criticizing Hicks for the flip, or for getting a late jump. Compared to some of the hell TK put young players through, this wasn't anything.

    I think the difference is that Hicks can be better, and should be. Doumit has no business being in LF, but Gardy put him there and he is who he is. Any player, but especially a really young one, ought to make the best of their talent, and even if they are underperforming they have to improve. Lots of stories of players who end their careers and people say what if they had tried harder, what if coaches hadn't let them get away with things because of their talent early in their career. Not saying that's the case with Hicks, but saying he's a better outfielder than Doumit so leave him alone seems like a pretty short-sighted approach to me.

    I'm not so sure it was the flip. It also looked like he got a late break on the ball and had to come running in hard. He ended up catching the ball below his waist. He has got to start getting better reads on the ball- if he's not even catching flies he's not adding much (and he's not getting better).

    Great win! Nice to see Diamond being Diamond.
  20. big dog
    That was really a great turn by Morneau. Let's hope Roenicke can hold it together here.
  21. big dog
    After photos have no place in this debate. Fortunately, they don't affect the Betty vs. Wilma debate.
  22. big dog
    Methinks Gardy saw it differently.
  23. big dog
    They showed a clip of Gardy talking to Hicks. Guess who won? Hicks is sitting quietly on the bench by himself.
  24. big dog
    For those of you not watching the Twins broadcast, Hicks nonchalanted that ball to center. Gardenhire started throwing things in the dugout. Should be an entertaining conversation in the dugout in a minute. Great inning by Roenicke.
  25. big dog
    Ferrell has to have set a record for most times complaining to the umps without getting tossed.
