Anderson's first hit of the year involves a shattered bat.

So yeah, something about Q's bat speed being low or something like that? Q might not be all there this season? He's up to .267 on the year now, thanks to the last 2 days.1.210 OPS.

Q>U.

QUOTE (sin city sox fan @ Apr 11, 2009 -> 02:40 PM) Does Colon come back out next inning or is it time for MacDougal? Well, he's thrown 82 pitches so far. Unless he tells Ozzie that's it for him the 6th should be his.

I'll take it.

Make him throw something you like PK...

I'll take it.

Q up to .214

And Lillibridge proves he's a better leadoff hitter than Wise.

Corky Miller leadoff single over Punto's head.

My God, we retired Morneau with RISP.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Apr 11, 2009 -> 08:15 AM) With 3 games still left, the Bulls could possibly end up in the 6th seed if Philly plays like crap and the Bulls play well. I'd much rather face Orlando than Boston and Cleveland. If KG was healthy I'd agree. I think KG will be seriously limited in the first series, at the very least.

I'm successfully getting the Twins broadcast. Well done MLB. Well done.

The all righty lineup? Even Hawk hates that.

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Apr 10, 2009 -> 08:17 PM) You're going to tell me that Mcdougal and Carrasco have more upside then Poreda and Egbert? If they're ever going to figure it out it might as well be at the major league level. I say we give Poreda and Egbert a month or so in the minors, see what happens, and then bring them up. Ideally, we'll be able to phase Pordeda into the rotation by the All-Star break, and bring up Link. Poreda in to the rotation by the all star break is no where near ideal. Poreda taking one of the 2 openings next year is ideal.

A perfect example of how broken our health care system is. Not only does a person lose her job, not only does she nearly wind up dead because of the bureaucracy, but on top of that, a company loses an excellent salesperson because she had the misfortune to get sick. The only reason this person is still alive is that a newspaper got involved. You may not like a national system, but if employers are the ones who have to bite the bullet, it's never going to work.

If you want an example of how in-depth Secretary Gates has thought through his budget, take a look at the Littoral Combat ship. It's terribly over budget. But he kept it. Why? Because despite being over budget, if you start making them, you basically are producing a fast ship for a lot less money than a destroyer, frigate, or carrier costs. Which is exactly the kind of thing you need against smaller, insurgent type threats. Like, say, Pirates. The situation in Somalia right now is an excellent example of how our military just is not built to face off against the asymmetric threats the U.S. is encountering in the 21st century. Which is why cutting back on the big ticket items and focusing in on the things we need is so important. Because tying up $5 billion worth of equipment because a couple pirates hit a container ship is a terrible way to use resources in the long run.

QUOTE (beautox @ Apr 10, 2009 -> 07:32 PM) God has awoken The Twins will regret this.

BP for Q. Yay. Get that damn timing down.

Can someone turn over a table in the locker room or something?

WISE GETS A HIT

Great, a Twins pitcher making his major league debut.

OK Q...let's do this.
