Fit

Today Carlos Silva walks into the Hubert Humphrey Metrodome with the passion and ire he had back when he was a Twin.

This majestic beast is a mentor to King Felix and we must always remember that,

it’s hard to soar like an eagle when you are surrounded by someone who once ate a live turkey.

SO I COULD RUN DOWN THE FUCKING STREETS SCREAMING FOR ME TO SEE FELIX’S POWER AT THE MIDNIGHT HOUR AND HAVE IT MAKE SLIGHTLY MORE SENSE CAUSE RIGHT NOW ITS THREE PM IN SEATTLE

All right, NOW I'm truly excited.

Matthew has given me religion: at least ONE of my teams has a remote outside 3-point-shot-from-half-court chance at competing this season. Let’s go M’s! Let’s see some King Felix and no Dauphin Felix today!

P.S. Mystery Science Theater 3000 forever, motherfucker. Random, but it had to be said.

Probably because Sweeney kills the Twins

I know, I know, meaningless split and that’s not what Wakamatsu was thinking when he put him there. But casual Twins fans will tremble with fear when Sweeney strides to the plate.

I'll never forgive the mainstream media.

Their east coast bias kept Mike Sweeney’s amazing career from being in the limelight where it belonged. He also hit .422!

Glad we went out and picked up some bats in the offseason.

Player 1:
2005: 104 OPS+
2006: 96 OPS+
2007: 109 OPS+

Age 34 in 2008

Player 2:
2006: 102 OPS+
2007: 86 OPS+
2008: 99 OPS+

Age 35 in 2009

Oh well, unlike last year, when we finally cut Player 1’s ass after watching him flail at DH, we’ll have Chris Shelton backing up Player 2.

And you know what? Dylan’s just quixotic enough to endorse the Seattle Mariners, of all things, for no good reason. I loved when he appeared in that Victoria’s Secret ad. Sell out? Hell no, it’s just Dylan being Dylan.

Just a heads up for people about to watch the Seattle game on MLB.TV

The HD feed is not very stable today. At all. I haven’t been able to view it properly for several hours. It is also not ‘live’ – there is up to a two minute delay on the HD feed, so if you are using it you might want to avoid boxscore/gameday/game thread.

If you are having problems with the video being jerky, disable the HD feed. You can do this by clicking on video quality at the bottom on the player and sliding the slider from ‘next def’ to ‘normal’. The quality is greatly reduced but it is far more stable and is ‘live’, so you won’t be spoilt if you want to take part in the game thread.

Can the M’s get some kind of a waiver from MLB that would allow them to have Brandon Fahey on the field as a 10th fielder when Felix pitches? Even if he can only field balls that are fieldable by the pitcher.
