Very confused at this point.
Are we playing the Rays or Red Sox?

Yes, but our middle infield still sucks.

Not a whole lot that can be done about that though, as far as configuring a lineup.
that’s a front office issue.

Oh wait, I was thinking of the right guy...
…I didn’t realize you were talking about a different game. Here I was confused, thinking “Wieters was a Baltimore prospect”…blah blah blah….I’m there now.
He’s one to watch, for sure.
Matt Wieters, C, Baltimore Orioles
Just few out to right. Very exciting.

BTW for you college baseball fans
The Minnesota Golden Gophers are currently losing to Baylor 2-0 in the 4th inning in the 1st round of the NCAA Tournament
Now there's a man on 3rd with 2 down, instead of 2nd with one down.
A good base hit would score the run regardless….this doesn’t make it any more likely for the Twins to score.
Hope for a passed ball maybe?
Night!

I need to make up 100 points in my fantasy league,
and have four pitchers starting tonight. Lackey, Shields, Jurjens, Wakefield.
Can I do it?

Gomez is a defensive god.
Too bad he aggravated those stitches he got while getting stuck in a revolving door…

blast to the past
came home turned on the game via extra innings (Rays telecast) and it’s in spanish!
I haven’t watched / listen to a baseball game in spanish since I was kid w/ my dad
Did Bert really just say that?
Bert, imitating Denard’s mother: “Ah, shoot! Better luck next time, Denard!”
Did I detect a little sarcasm/racism in that comment?

Crooked number vs. Baker
Shocking.

All set up
Get a runner on in the 9th and Mauer homers for the cycle and the lead.
More umpire BS -
Crain fools Longoria on a pitch right down the middle for strike 3 – HP Ump blows it.
Crain picks off the runner at 1st EASILY – 1B Ump blows it.
UNBELIEVABLE!!! Where do they get these ass-clowns???
"I'm gonna make you cry...I'm gonna make you cry and dip my cookie in your tears!!!"
Then...
Mijares doesn’t get his fat butt over to 1st on what cold have been a DP.
That’s 3 exra outs this inning…2 courtesy of the Men in Blue…1 from El Gordo…
"I'm gonna make you cry...I'm gonna make you cry and dip my cookie in your tears!!!"
Mauer vs. Weiters
Well, it’s over Mauer is so much better than Weiters will ever be.
1st MLB Game
Mauer 2-3 w/ 2BB’s
Weiters 0-4 w 1K no walks.
Peyton's good but have you ever heard of Jeff George?
Mauer's first game:
7-for-8 with 5 doubles. The out was productive. He also pitched a no-hitter.
by Evan Nelson on May 29, 2009 10:28 PM EDT up reply actions
Not only did he pitch a no-hitter...
He caught it too!!!
