Good win by the Twins tonight. El Presidente sits a unch more bitches down and then the Bitch Sox have the courtesy to get their asses whipped by the D-Backs.
Oh, and...IT'S PEANUT BUTTER JELLY TIME!

twink, this is NOT your neighbor singing karaoke... it's okay...

Posted by: kafumbly at June 15, 2005 07:02 AMAbernathy running into the wall was hilarious. I don't know if it was intentional or not, but when they showed the replay of him running into the wall the kiss cam graphic was up on the screen as if he had kissed the wall. It was hilarious.
And I have never seen a player escape a run-down but Torii did it, that was pretty cool too.
Posted by: aurora at June 15, 2005 07:29 AMOMG-
This may be my fav post here so far! I hear that damn song at work every day like 100 times! At lease now I can appreciate it in this context. It fits perfectly!
Cuddy is BANANAS...b-a-n-a-n-a-s!!
Great game boys!
Shannon I love you!
This is a song? Whats the title so i can google it.

Holla Back girl
It plays every friggen 10 minutes on the satellite radio..or any other pop station for that matter!
Posted by: Mic at June 15, 2005 07:51 AMI don't listen to the radio much... And I'm not really a Gwen Stefani fan. Sorry
Posted by: aurora at June 15, 2005 07:53 AMSounds like Li'l Abby would like another Gwen song, "Crash", from the same CD.
"C'mon baby . . . crash into me real hard."
Posted by: funoka at June 15, 2005 08:09 AMAurora-
ahhh, no need to be sorry. It would not be my first choice..that is ...if I had a choice at work!
Did anyone else see how one of Mr. Mike "one of the twins pitchers cheat and that is disgusting" Scioscia had one of his pitchers tossed out of the game for having a forgein substance on his glove?
Posted by: dregn at June 15, 2005 08:31 AM*Tips hat to kw*
Very creative. Another day of great pinch-blogging.
I love Hollaback Girl, although I never listen to the radio (except KFAN) so I'm not burned out by it yet. I'm also very glad that Cuddy is not a "Hollaback Boy".
Few observations from Camp HK last night:
-Torii "Smooth Criminal" Hunter, that was precious, I thought for sure you were out.
-Lil Abner you are not Torii "Smooth Criminal" Hunter, so you might want to leave those snazzy plays for him. Nice try though pumpkin, how's the shoulder?
-I lost five smackaroos because Johan didn't get 10 or more strikeouts last night. Johan, I'll put the invoice in the mail to you, you can make the check payable to HooliganKat.
-Please Mr. Scoreboard guy, when a new pitcher is put into the game, put the man's stats up on the board even for a few seconds. I KNOW that Wednesday is Homel Dollar Dog Night and Buffalo Wild Wings Student ID night, however I don't know what the pitcher's ERA is or how many innings he's pitched. It would be much appreciated. Also, the music was a bit overwhelming in volume last night, we might want to turn it down just a notch or two.
-The little boy that ran the bases before the game was THE cutest little boy I think I've ever seen.
-My Twingo card was the worst Twingo card I've ever had. It had all these crazy defensive plays and one normal offensive play. Hopefully tonight's card will be better.
-I'm going to start calling everyone by a Gardy nickname, you know, Juanie, Mornie, Crainer, etc. He just keeps coming up with these great nicknames! (I kid because I love Gardy).
-I'm not going to actually say it, but I'm hoping the last two bombs by the White Sox are the start of a decline in White Sox dominance.
kw-- Sweet.
HooliganKat-- careful. Careful. Fingers crossed, knock on wood, scratch a stay-- and I hope you're right.
Posted by: Katharriet at June 15, 2005 09:09 AMAwwww man. I had not heard that song before now. And of course, I had to go listen to it. Now it's gonna be going through my head all day. And the worst part? I kinda like it.
Sigh.
Posted by: Angela at June 15, 2005 09:10 AMBeautiful:)
HooliganKat--Gardy does come up with some creative nicknames, huh? lol ;)
Posted by: Stacy at June 15, 2005 09:14 AMHooligan Kat, I was in 114 last night, i almost came up to say hi. And my mom's Twingo card only had 1 play on it. 1. Mine was fantastic and I was the 3rd winner.
Posted by: aurora at June 15, 2005 09:17 AMDid anyone else at the game notice the new "fun facts" on each Twin as they came up to bat? Apparently Chairman's nickname is "Joey Da Gun," and DJ Cuddles is aka "The Kid." We got a huge kick out of Joey Da Gun... that's so old school gangsta!
Posted by: aussie at June 15, 2005 09:24 AMOnce I was at a game and the fun fact saaid that Cuddy's pet peeve is Lew Ford.
Posted by: aurora at June 15, 2005 09:25 AMCuddy's pet peeve is Lew? That isn't very nice...
Posted by: ndtf at June 15, 2005 09:27 AM"Once I was at a game and the fun fact saaid that Cuddy's pet peeve is Lew Ford."
My god... it's just like they're siblings!
I don't think I could face calling the Chairman "Joey da Gun." Not at all.
Posted by: Katharriet at June 15, 2005 09:28 AMThat $%!& is h-y-s-t-e-r-i-c-a-l
Our new Dback slogan:
"Keep the bullpen IN the bullpen"
Posted by: BAT bandwagoner at June 15, 2005 09:32 AMMatthew LeCroy's pet peeve is Lew Ford, btw. I have pictures to prove it. (Maybe he's Cuddyer's, as well...but I want picture proof!)
I had to miss most of the game last night ("Why do I always miss the good ones?" laments Just Beth, before realizing that most games are good!), so I told my sister to call me if Brent Abernathy was playing...Fortunately, I was home before he was put into the game, so that was good. However, my boyfriend hit a HOME RUN and I missed it! I'm distraught now!
And I'm going to have to go look up that song, now... (Good job, kw!)
Posted by: Just Beth at June 15, 2005 09:52 AMJust Beth is prob right, I couldn't remember exactly I just thought he was cuddy's
Posted by: aurora at June 15, 2005 10:07 AMAn excellent night overall. Jesse and Stewy getting me valuable points on my fantasy team & the Bitch Sox losing another game in that hideous dump they call a stadium. In honor of the excellent blog, the late great TV show ED and a great win, here is Peanut Butter Jelly Time for everyone to enjoy.
Get well Little Nicky.

Posted by: Twinsfanin NC at June 15, 2005 10:13 AMheh... good Frank Thomas story. click name for link.
Posted by: kafumbly at June 15, 2005 10:34 AMWait, a fellow Twins fan AND a fellow ED fan???
Wow. There are so few of us. I raise a glass to you, Twinsfanin NC.
Has Laurie seen this yet? She's gonna go apesh*t.
Posted by: NY-Brian at June 15, 2005 10:37 AMNICE job, kw.
was anybody else listening to the post-game show on the radio last night? when they were talking to scottie ullger, did it sound like he said "the chairman" when he was talking about joe mauer? i thought it did, but maybe i was just imagining it...
Posted by: kierra at June 15, 2005 10:40 AM" I like to stay dehydrated and keep motivated somehow, and that's how I do things."
I like to STAY dehydrated? That's the craziest quote ever - and by crazy, I mean stupid.
I think I probably like Darth Thomas more than your average Twins fan, but seriously, the caffeine is affecting more than just his performance. Uh, I mean baseball performance.
Posted by: Say Rah! at June 15, 2005 10:42 AMI don't know how many people have seen this yet but since I haven't heard anyone talking about it - I thought I would link it up...
A little hometown love for Torii!! After last night's baserunning escapades, I thought it was especially entertaining.
Here is the whole link if clicking my name doesn't work: http://minnesota.twins.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb/news/article.jsp?ymd=20050613&content_id=1088182&vkey=news_min&fext=.jsp&c_id=min
[NY-Brian: Wait, a fellow Twins fan AND a fellow ED fan??? Wow. There are so few of us.]
Actually, you'd be surprised.
Silly me, commenting on Thomas without tipping my hat to kw for this morning's post.
Because I don't get the radio overkill, I LOVE this silly song and will now have it in my head for the rest of the day - with the updated lyrics, of course.
Good job!
Posted by: Say Rah! at June 15, 2005 11:03 AMI am happy to say I have never heard this song, nor do I have any desire to. And I can say beyond any doubt whatsoever that I will never, ever EVER call Cuddy "Kid." Don't ask me why (seriously, you'll be sorry you asked), but I'd sooner call him Dogface McUglyton.
Michael Cuddyer, I love you madly. You fabulous, wonderful man, you. xoxo

Posted by: kafumbly at June 15, 2005 11:33 AMHot off the press:
Front Page, Wall Street Journal-
"White Sox Are Hot, So Why Are Fans In Chicago So Blase?"
select quote:
"'I've always said that the PR department should just handout tickets to the upper deck- they'd at least get the money for parking', Sox pitcher Mark Buehrle says. Despite his 7-1 won-loss record, [he] says he rarely gets recognized around town."
Ha. Makes me extra-appreciate our Twins fans, with attendance up this year. And at least we recognize our players! And their butts. And their transvestite alter-egos. Oof. Maybe I wish *not* that last one.
Oh the Cud-diary! He's got a cute sense of humor- the last answer made me laugh. What a cool (and hot) guy.
Posted by: aussie at June 15, 2005 12:01 PMkw & NY Brian,
Yes...you would be surprised.

Posted by: bubblemint at June 15, 2005 12:07 PMI'm not impressed with today's Daily Quickie.

Read the part about the new Yankee Stadium.
ndtf: They must mean one of the other pitcher named Santana in the Quickie, that's all I can say.

Posted by: kafumbly at June 15, 2005 12:44 PMWorks for Torii.
Posted by: LaurieNY at June 15, 2005 12:47 PMOh! That reminds me! Last night at the game I informed my mother that Torri doesn't wear a cup. She looked at him, tilted her head, looked at me and said:
"Maybe they don't make them big enough?"
Posted by: aurora at June 15, 2005 12:52 PM*rofl* I love your mother, Aurora.
Posted by: Katharriet at June 15, 2005 12:56 PMLol! That's great.
Posted by: ndtf at June 15, 2005 01:01 PMBetween Torii's revelation and the disclosure of the Chairman's "problem" in the cup department... way too much information about Twins crotches lately. Someone even asked Doc in an interview the other day about HIS cupular preferences. You know, I'd really rather keep my "intimate" Twins knowledge above the waist.
From the front, anyway.
Posted by: LaurieNY at June 15, 2005 01:07 PMdo i want to know what you are talking about re: joe?
Posted by: Say Rah! at June 15, 2005 01:14 PMbut think of how boring that would be, Laurie. :-)
aurora, your mom and i think alike...
Posted by: kierra at June 15, 2005 01:15 PMif jacque went to the yankees, i would seriously need therapy. he just doesn't have a big enough head for the yankees.
Posted by: kierra at June 15, 2005 01:17 PMSay Rah, apparently Joe's cup was causing him discomfort because it wasn't, uh, big enough to, uh contain him.
I just don't need to know this stuff. It's none of my business. (Of course that doesn't appear to stop me from passing it on... LOL)
Posted by: LaurieNY at June 15, 2005 01:27 PMLOL... no, the cup was giving him problems because of the groin pull!
hahahaha...
Posted by: kafumbly at June 15, 2005 01:58 PMThis is the first baseball posting board where Johnsons are talked about without the name Randy in front of it. Come to think of it Randy Johnson is a big d- Ah never mind.....
THE PEOPLE ON THIS BOARD ARE COOL!!!
Posted by: Twinsfanin NC at June 15, 2005 02:12 PMKafumbly, two male members (hahaha) of the esteemed BG community said that from the male perspective, it meant he was just too studly to fit in the cup. LOL
Posted by: LaurieNY at June 15, 2005 03:18 PMGENIUS post! Cracks me up about your mom Aurora, lol.
Posted by: Sam at June 15, 2005 03:24 PMAnyone going to be in attendance tonight? I'm planning on going and would like to catch up with some BG folk.
Posted by: AJ Lecroy at June 15, 2005 03:27 PMYep, come on up to 214 you can't throw a domedog without hitting a Batling in that section.
Aurora, I'm sad you didn't come up and say hi, but I can understand being in 114 and all.
Posted by: HooliganKat at June 15, 2005 03:34 PMIsn't it a bit cheaper to throw around all those Dome Dogs tonight, too? ;-)
Posted by: LaurieNY at June 15, 2005 03:38 PMOkay, 214 it is. How will I be able to tell a batling from all the faux-batlings? Is there a secret handshake? A preferred attire?
Oh heck... I'll just figure it out.
Posted by: AJ Lecroy at June 15, 2005 03:45 PMsadly, $1 dog night does not feature Dome Dogs. they are the skinnier, regular hot dog.
I wish I were going tonight so I could have $1 dogs. but I need to go to sleep IMMEDIATELY following the game, as I am completely wiped out.
no extra innings tonight, guys, okay? just win it in 9 so I can sleep. please. thank you.
Posted by: kafumbly at June 15, 2005 03:57 PMYeah, and only 2 dogs per customer too? Whassup wid dat? If I were there, you guys could beat that limit. As a vegetarian, I am nonetheless still entitled to two dollar dogs, but as I would not eat them, two lucky Batlings would score an extra, albeit contraband, dog each.
Power to the People!!
Posted by: LaurieNY at June 15, 2005 04:01 PMSigh... I won't even be watching the game tonight because I need to do laundry. It's either do laundry or start turning my socks inside out, so I'll have to settle for listening to Dazzle and Gordo.
Posted by: ndtf at June 15, 2005 04:02 PMIf I were going to the game, some lucky Batling would also get my hot dogs. I'm not a vegetarian or anything, I just don't like hot dogs...
Posted by: ndtf at June 15, 2005 04:04 PMHot dogs: cow lips, butts, and noses. I'll take two, please! Yeah, right.
Posted by: AJ Lecroy at June 15, 2005 04:07 PMcrazy... Dave Bush, pitcher for Toronto in AAA, was attacked from behind by some little punk named Esix Snead (sounds like he needs an ass-whoopin') who got all pissy cuz Bush threw a pitch between his legs while he was trying to bunt. Snead started walking to first, but took a detour to the pitching mound, where he clubbed Bush in the back of the head with his batting helmet.
there's a link to the story in Toronto Star in my name, but you'll have to register (free) to read it.
Posted by: kafumbly at June 15, 2005 04:11 PMEsix Snead? That sounds like a good name for a Harry Potter villain...
Posted by: ndtf at June 15, 2005 04:15 PMHe used to be a Met.
Posted by: LaurieNY at June 15, 2005 04:22 PMMr. Lecroy today I've got a green shirt and black pants. I usually sit in row 14. You can't miss my dorkiness with the headphones and scorebook either.
Hope to meet you!
Posted by: HooliganKat at June 15, 2005 04:51 PMLaurie,
That's probably a good reason why he *used* to be a Met, then. Where's the anger management course when you need it?
Posted by: mk at June 15, 2005 05:31 PMI hate to be a judger of great bat-girlness but about a month ago or so..I did a parody of that song all twinscentric...I can post it here.
