Minneapolis is probably optimistic

I know Kottaras catches Chen. But, for the love of ****! Salvy is hotter than Jalapeno Fart right now. You just can't sit this kid.

Sorry. Asked mods to delete. Almost simultaneous posting. Sorry.

Sweep the Squareheads!

No bad Mojo intended

I'm ok with Kottaras today. He can make Deduno work with his plate discipline...day game after night game, I'm cool.

He can always pinch hit/come in late for defense.

Day game after night game/no break coming up soon.

Pretty standard fare. You usually use your backup for the day game in that situation.

I just logged on assuming there would be a game thread...saw that there wasn't one ....boom

Getz brought his grown-up glove

Good first inning for Chen. Keep the pitch count down.

Actually, I read a couple of articles in Minneapolis news outlets about how the Twins just set the record for the most strikeouts in franchise history, and it really bothers them, so no surprises that they're hacking early.

Duck on the pond. A fat, slow, bloated duck. But a duck is on the pond.

Wow. Was Maxwell going to go after him?

Gardy gets tossed. Your team sucks, it's really hot...not a bad idea.

oh shit...its ON!!!!!
