I Walk The Mendoza Line
2007-07-04 00:22:00
Dear Mr. Nicholas Paul Punto, Not being able to score a hit on the field, PAB has a suggestion for you, free of charge: Cover Johnny Cash. Perhaps you'll score a hit on the radio! Here, we've even taken the liberty of adapting some lyrics for you: I keep a close watch on this batting average of mine, I keep my stance wide open all the time, I've made inning ending outs of every kind, Instead of riding the pine, I walk the Mendoza line. As sure as night is dark and day is light, I weakly pop out to the catcher both day and night, Though I stink as much as potato blight,Instead of riding the pine, I walk the Mendoza line.You've got a way to keep Cleveland in sight,Bench me in favor of a house plant, I don't mind,Who knows, that might even turn the tide, Instead of riding the pine, I walk the Mendoza line. There you go! Feel free to send a copy to Tony Fatista if Johnny Cash isn't your thing. WV wishes he were the man in black.

PREGAMEI don't want to alarm those of you watching the YES feed, but yes, you'll have to listen to Michael "Every kiss begins with" Kay. But seeing that Roger Clemens is pitching reminds me of an article written by an amazing Minnesotan, yes, you know of whom I speak:Michael J. Nelson. I'm paraphrasing here, but he enjoyed watching Roger Clemens "whizzing it down his chunky leg in his losing bid to win," in 2004. I'm getting really nostalgic for MST3K. If I was a rich girl, I'd bring that show back. Anyway. For those concerned: number one, thank you. Number two, I was just really fatigued, so I'm fine. But you do 270 reps on a bench press and see how you feel! Oh, you're not that stupid. Right.TOP 1STMichael Kay does look like he's 'bout to put some moves on Paul O'Neill. When you see former players in the booth do you wonder if they're alcoholics/drunks/womanizers or even the trifecta? I mean, the money's pretty good.

Friday: Twins 11, Detroit 1 Saturday: Twins 8, Detroit 6 Sunday: Detroit 1, Twins 0RK's bum shoulder has him sympathizing with Jesse Crain but not typing so the weekend wrap-up is left to yours truly. Fox's lovely Game of the Week not being the Twins and not getting cable has prevented me from actually seeing the games, but if Nick Punto can get away with it, so can I, right? Random thoughts:1. Speaking of Nick Punto, is he like a forest fire that you just let burn out, at this point? I honestly heard John Gordon say during Sunday's broadcast that Punto's 0 for 14 stretch in this series was a bit of a "slump". Uh, John? When hasn't he been slumping this season? That's like asserting, "Tim McCarver's intelligence has been taking the weekend off". 2. Scott Baker is being haunted by the ghost of pre-cocaine Dwight Gooden, and I sure as hell am not going to call for an exorcism.

Hey everybody - I was all pumped to do this game tonight; so pumped out that I had to work out to get some energy released. And I screwed up my shoulder somehow. Anyway, I'm on my way to see a trainer to see if it's an injury or if I'm just indescribably weak. Consider this thread open. Typing with one hand is hard.

Middle Inning Crisis---Boof Go Buy Yourself A Motorcycle
2007-06-28 02:51:00
BOTTOM 3RD, TWINS UP 2Domestic tranquility was a priority up to this point, but now I'm firmly committed to ignoring Kevin Garnett news and being mesmerized by the Pear King's sweet inside-out stroke that hits singles to right field. Hey, if the Pear King magically started hitting .300 like last season, it'd be similar to dumping Juan Castro onto Wayne Krivsky and the Reds and calling up the SS of the future....I knew that Dick had a Minnesota map in the booth!!!! That quack is consistently spouting off geographic locations of obscure Minnesotan towns without ever referring to the trusty Rand McNally he has in front of him. Oh Dick..I'm onto you. You think that since you threw out the first pitch last night that you can eschew a sound knowledge of geography? Hmm? Nice seeing Toby Gardenhire, though I hate to say that his perpetual near-Mendoza line batting average in the minors has him destined for manager-dom.DEATH BY A THOUSAND SINGLES!

It just really bothers me when Chris Berman, Chris Fowler, Steve Buccigross, Linda Cohen, John Anderson, Kenny Mayne, Steve Berthume, or Marty Funkhouser (OK, that's from a different show) say things like, "Frank Thomas is on a hot streak, and oh by the way, he's one home run away from 500," like they're throwing that little detail in just for you. Just stop it.WV: Glad you've found a cause to champion. Who's pitching for us tonight?RK: Rocket BatsWV: Well, Rocket Bat's last start against the Mets was encouraging, but he seems to feed off of being on the next flight to Rochester so tonight may not be so successful.RK: Worst case scenario is 7 ER over 4 IP.WV: Maybe he'll turn the Boof corner and give up 4 ER through 5 IPRK: All rights reserved on the term "turn the Boof corner"TOP 1STWV: You know, we should consider slapping a trademark down on "Pulling A Blyleven."

The Twins Are 38-0 When Scoring More Runs Than Their Opponents
2007-06-24 21:05:00
When the stats speak for themselves, who needs to be intelligent and witty. With that in mind, here are some ideas:1. Start Johan At DHHey, I don't see Little Nicky blasting triples OR hitting .286. This move might be the best kind of change-up Santana could make. 2. Move To The National LeagueGranted, our owner isn't related to the Commish so pulling a Brewers might not be so simple. But tough to argue with going 16-2 last season and 11-7 this year against the senior circuit. Plus, the NL Central is the new AL Central. And moreover, Scott Baker's ERA could certainly benefit from facing the pitcher every 9 at bats. Maybe I should've checked Kyle Lohse's Reds' stats before writing that.3. Pull Lew Ford's QuadracepApparently, repeated leg exercises and magical Japanese leg wraps not only help your quads but create a power swing as well.

PREGAME-TOP 4THWell hey everybody, my fault I'm late, but I was participating in a table tennis tournament. I love table tennis. Believe it. I don't think WV will be joining us tonight because he's blacked out, and it's tough to do this without being able to see the game. Remember when we did the first few games on radio broadcast? Pretty rough stuff.Anyway, I certainly don't mind stumbling into the game when the Twins are up 7-0. Here's that run support, JoJo.BOTTOM 4THHoly smokes, I thought LoDuca hit that one out the park. Frankenstein's monster apparently just doesn't have the juice though. Wow, Johan hasn't struck anybody out yet? Sometimes I think it's amusing that people marvel at the fielding prowess of the team.

I know--he's wearing Axe body spray.Scalooze: Gin does have a tendency to taste like pine needles, but sloe gin is indeed scrumptuous. If Gardy starts threatening the Pear King by saying he's not a team player, will he magically hit .300 again? Apparently Sinn Fein is ok, so I am too. Thank Goodness we're losing the DH for the next round of interleague games. I just don't know what I would do without Tyner in the line-up. I think the pitchers would be an improvement anyways.

Well, At Least It Wasn't Ponson
2007-06-06 14:55:00
Seeing the Twins lose their 4th straight, my first reaction was to search for the Beast of Revelation and the number Six Hundred Threescore and Six. But, I think there's room for optimism. Like, hey, we're not losing to the Royals here. The Angels are 24 and 8 at home, and in Oakland we played them close. Besides, in Anaheim they have Christopher Lloyd and his band of angelic bretheren helping them out in the outfield. Yeah, I saw it on TV, so it must be true. Rocket Bats didn't turn in an Earth-shattering performance, but it wasn't totally awful either. The problem is more that the Twins' hitters are about as supportive as a deadbeat father on a bender. But as we all know, the dark times of Ragnarok can be a protracted experience, before final redemption is at hand in the end. This end, however, might just extend to next season. But at the very least, we've got the return of the Chairman to look forward to, though it might be a small drop in the bucket. Irrational exhuberance...

We have an innate ability to predict which games are worthy of live blogging beforehand, hence my complete lack of remorse in missing the Twins offense bow down before Joe Blanton as if he were a golden calf. But as happened with the Israelites, Moses eventually descended Mt. Sinai and went medieval on the original stone tablets upon seeing the iconoclastic debauchery taking place. This comparison leads us to Moses Santana, who takes the mound today and hopefully reminds everyone that our offense is no longer a hostage to the Lord of Assbats and that the team in general is once again within sight of the postseason race. Last night, of course, is not without positives, as Silva 's outing was quite encouraging, and his offense's betrayal forced me to title this post accordingly. Kudos to anyone who got the Smashing Pumpkins reference--I'm always here to remind you that whatever Billy Corgan comes up with this time around will pale in comparison to Siamese Dream.

Editor's note: This post is a compendium of commentary submitted by readers. RK and WV maintain that this method of blogging democracy is an underhanded way to get back at Axl Rose for constantly delaying Chinese Democracy. PREGAMEJim H: During one of the recent games, somebody hit a foul ball straight into the pressbox behind home plate. Blyleven said "I was hoping that would hit Sid Hartman." I cracked up; Dick ignored him (Dick's getting good at that). I heard nothing about it on the radio, in the blogosphere, or in the newspapers. I'm sure he said it, and I figured he'd get into some kind of trouble (even though it was hilarious). Did I imagine this? Anyone? Beuller?Prediction: Slowey goes 7 strong but gets a no-decision because the Twins bats are silent until the late innings.WV: Jim, anecdotes such as that should never slip through the cracks and thus the need for blogs.

Happy Memorial Day to everyone, America's best excuse for going to the lake and getting hammered...err...I mean to honor fallen veterans. In a world of injustices, Johan has as many losses as Contreras does and also, the Twins are behind the Bitch Sox in the standings. Hopefully both things can be at least partially righted today. TOP 1ST INNINGBert just called today's starting pitching "Johantana", maybe Bert knocked a few back at a BBQ on his way to the park.
