Game 33: Twins @ White Sox

I was just popping on as I realized I’d forgotten.

I like Tolbert hitting second, if it isn’t going to be Mauer.

I’d love to see him come on and pitch six or seven quality innings this afternoon.

MLB should make a rule that at least one team should have to play an afternoon game on national TV every weekday. Afternoon baseball’s just too much fun not to have this going at all times.

For only the second time this year. I briefly thought that Pierzynski threw him out and the world was ending, but Toby Hall is catching today.

Looked like he might have been safe from the replay, but c’est la vie.

Battles back from 0-2, fouls a couple off, then reaches down and pokes a slider to left for the first run of the game.

Ok, I am at work, so I can’t watch the game. Was the second pitch to Dye (before the F-ing homer) down the pipe? ESPN Gamecast seemed to think so and it was called a ball…Is the strike zone pretty tight, or is Gamecast way off?

Cause Gardy is the heck out the game.

He hardly even argued or got in his face at all. I can’t recall a quicker ejection. If I’m the Twins I complain to the league office about it.

There are times in life that you just need to stand still, such as when you’re on third base and the ball is hit on the ground.

Somebody call TK… we need a quick fundamentals review.

He got in a run down long enough to allow Cuddyer to get into scoring position. So it’s the difference between two outs and a guy on second or two outs and a guy on third.

Justin Morneau, Michael Cuddyer, and Craig Monroe (4-5-6 in the order) are 0-8.

With apparent tightness in his right forearm.

He left on a 1-1 count, so it must have hurt pretty badly. Elbow? Wrist? Ligament?

It seems like a lot of our trainers don’t exactly practice what they preach on the dieting issue. Hey McWayne: Boof says hi.

I guess Korecky gets a reprise.
