"He's strong." Hawk on Plouffe.

I think that Donald Trump would make a good President of Baseball Operations for the White Sox.

I would have done the same thing. Can't start due to innings, and there is no reason for him to throw 7 innings of bullpen in games that are either far ahead or far behind.

He told Dan Gladden that he prefers taking the first pitch, and is even more comfortable when he is hitting with one strike, so I don't see why you had that comment about Joe.

A team would pick Chargios or Walker for sure.

Maybe September 6th.

Pat Dean was great today, think he will be called up?

Go O's!

Hicks can.

Patrick.

NO!

Where is Milone?

There is no reason not to stick a fork in it. An absolutely horrible stadium that should be demolished. Think this would work?

Such a shame...

Fact of the matter is that Danny Santana played well last year also.

Escobar homers! STAY HOT!!!!!!!!

Escobar is beginning to show why I backed him for so long.

111 mph and 409 feet.

Well, there is a reason why I wrote about how awful this stadium was.

Same as in the suburb.

They say the play by Escy was stupid.

We are gonna have to do some catching up, but we will.

Oyez! Oyez! Oyez! The Honorable Game Thread of Twins Daily is now in session. All seeking entertainment from baseball draw near. God save Twins Daily and this honorable Game Thread. Today the Twins go for a sweep of the Rays, and try to build on their wild card lead. Things to think about: Stolen Game Threads: Yesterday I signed into my e-mail account for the first time in about a week, and found a peaceful assembly of those obnoxious things, and as I was scrolling through and looking at 'em I saw one that had the subject of, "Brock Beauchamp started a new personal conversation with you." At first I was surprised, and then I wondered what he would want to talk to me about, but I kept on going through my other e-mails, and finally it was time to open up Brock's message, so I decided to try to think of what he wanted to PM me about. The first thing I thought was that for some reason I must be getting banned, but I then I thought that a Mod would probably write to me, so then I just decided to open it up, and saw that he was pleading guilty to the misdemeanor (misdemeanour if you are twinsnorth49 or any other Canadian) of stealing a Game Thread from me, but he did an excellent job, so I decided to let him leave it up, and all of us celebrated Beat the Rays Day. Tropicana Field: The biggest joke in baseball, and the amazing thing is that they actually get people to pay to enter. It is really sad that they play baseball in this thing, the only stadiums that come close to being this bad are the A's, Blue Jays, and the House that Cheater Built, but since we are done playing them for the year (not counting playoffs) it makes it easier to rant at the Trop, but don't get me wrong, I have no personal offense against the Rays, they are a team that is praised for their great drafts, and I love great drafts, even if your first pick ends up being a failure, you release him, then he goes on to win an MVP award and whip you in the playoffs two years in a row, or if you get an outfielder with bloodlines, and he gets a notion to start spanking umpires, make bad throws, and add a bunch of weight, then you trade him for a potential ace, he bounces around, and ends up finishing in the top ten for MVP and wins a postseason award, meanwhile this ace showed bright spots, but you had to trade him because you had a penny-pinching owner who doesn't want to pay more than $500,000 for an Eric Sogard hating pitcher (although that came later), and you get a dude named Chris Archer who you swindle into a longterm contract that is team friendly, and then this GM who is so smart ditches you, as well as your snake-loving manager. “In a sort of ghastly simplicity we remove the organ and demand the function. We make men without chests and expect of them virtue and enterprise. We laugh at honour and are shocked to find traitors in our midst. We castrate and bid the geldings be fruitful.” C.S. Lewis. That quote was intended for the Rays owner. Team Friendly: This saying is deceptive, it is like calling theft "unconventional shopping" or cannibalism "alternative cuisine" or insider trading "financial creativity." Team Friendly deals aren't as immoral as those, but in my opinion we should paint in bold colors, and not in pale pastels, and be blunt, and call things what they are, and since team friendly deals are swindling, we should call it swindling, but you might say, "These baseball players are making enough money! Why should they make more?" but these owners are a bunch of killers who are in it to take advantage of people, whether it is the fans at the gate, or the players in arbitration, but at least the players have agents, who are professional swindlers themselves. I guess that some people will have to be content with what goes on between the lines, and in the end that is what actually matters, but it all starts in the front office, with the crooked businessmen, and that is what fascinates me, even if I hate it, and root for both sides to loose, because baseball is forever changing, on the field and off, and since it is always changing it stays the same, which is ironic. Go Twins! There is no weather today. http://www.inforum.com/sites/default/files/styles/full_1000/public/field/image/0707-S-Dozier2.jpg?itok=XNh_XNqD
