Of course, walking McGhee just means Yuni B

Hawkins hasn't been the poster child for luck this year, but he finally gets a break when one of those 37 hop singles dies in the outfield and tempts the runner into trying for second.

Like the play by Braun there, down 2, bases empty, 3B on the back of the dirt, power hitter next. Bunt is a very smart play there.

They've gone to the postgame show on FSN, this delay will be exactly 30 minutes before the game is called. Gave up 3 runs, but Naverson took the bullet nicely tonight.

Wasn't even close, but Braun sold that really well.

Thinking it's not their weekend after the Mauer HBP, Morneau just confirmed it.

The radar is really filling in north to south. This one may not resume for a long while. I'll give the grounds crew credit, they got the field covered in a hurry.

Per Telly, that's what the grounds crew wanted to do, but the umps wanted to wait for the rain. Ummm, wish the ground crew got their way.

Last inning was a prime example of why you need to have a pitch that bends to have any MLB success. The SS was throwing 90 and hitting his spots OK and was crushed because every pitch was a fastball.

Small victory of sorts, Manuel was trying to get Moyer to the inevitable rain delay but had to pull him. Durbin's going to look like he throws 110 compared to Moyer.

Hall with a mid-season level takeout slide at 2nd. Didn't stop the DP, but if a guy's dropping takeout slides like that on ST getaway day, that's a good sign

4th straight start on 3 days rest, (and they had no choice, given the way the series dates fell) turned out to be a bridge too far. Had the wall been hit on the third start, we wouldn't be here right now. Hope Miller is a zoo the next two games and try to get back here with CC on normal rest. I'm not a big fan of managers getting tossed, but if Sveum had a "discussion" with the HP ump after giving Stetter instructions, it wouldn't have bothered me in the least.

I wish Brian and Bill would wait until they show a single solitary sign of life on offense before talking about celebrations today.

Braun made a decent pass at the ball, but down on the trademark. Otherwise, it's been really weak out there.
