I WANT YOUR SOUL
"Many people need desperately to receive this message: 'I feel and think much as you do, care about many of the things you care about, although most people do not care about them. You are not alone.'"
Now it's out front.
Not sure how that happened.

Time to see a plunk from four different angles at once.
HBPs don’t go away, they are only postponed to someone else’s advantage.

17 outs to go, then let the plunking begin. Regardless of score.
Trying to score runs with Juan Pierre as your leadoff hitter is like trying to suture a wound in a moving car. You might still be successful -- but why make it so hard on yourself?
Leadoff Position!

alright! base runner.
perfect time for a sac bunt.

Let MB get his 23 outs first.

Here's a proposal for you:
put Buehrle in, say, right field. For exactly one batter. Of course, Viciedo will then have to pitch. He’s got quite and arm, but those Cuban tanks are old and have smooth bore barrels that are known to be slightly inaccurate.
Just one or two batters, that’s all.

another bad looking slide for de aza.
he’s going to hurt himself doing that one of these days.

Somebody remind again
why the fuck De Aza isn’t playing all the time?
"Rooting for the Twins is just a roundabout way of rooting for a first-round playoff bye for the Yankees." by big_fun
c'mon T, don't be disingenuous.
you know as well as i do that he bats left handed and that some pitchers throw with their left arms. also, he is not a veteran.

i’m not convinced yet of his bunting acumen.

gosh, i hope our next manager is watching
so he’ll consider the possibility that de aza is good enough to make the squad next season.

I really had not looked in quite some time.
