Tarps are on and the rain is getting harder. Start is likely to be pushed back.

Last time, wasn't it Pujols and Carpenter?

I'm not exactly sure what a 'Descalso' is, but I already know that I don't like it...

Via McTaggart: Allen Craig, who's batting cleanup and playing LF in place of Holliday, is 2-for-3 with a HR and two runs scored.

UGH!!!

DoRay had literally talked the pitch before about how they just had to keep pitching him away so that he couldn't turn on anything.

He then immediately turned on one.

If somehow DoRay, Kirk Bohls, and Richard Justice were all standing in a line somehwere, I'd be set up for the greatest "hitting four guys in one swing" punch in the history of the universe.

I'll always root for the Astros, but it's okay to root for the Twins to help our 2012 draft position, right?  #1 pick could be fun...in an awful way.

Dunno. No 'clear' 1st overall in 2012 yet and if that's the case, I'd rather read about some other team screwing up the 1st overall pick...

I really, really thought that CJ was going to turn it on this year and establish himself as a real major league player. I was wrong about that, too, apparently.

You kidding? Aside from having suffered the ignominy of finishing last, there's very little downside to having total freedom to pick the guy you like best. Gotta have a little more faith in the scouting department than that.
