Yum! I'll have to try that recipe some day...

Tommorow's entry should be entitled, "How Jackal Got His Groove Back"

You forgot serving instructions: "Serve HOT!"

So glad to see Cuddles has found his bat again! I was a little forlorn he was the only one w/o a hit yesterday. Much deserved BOD! My favorite part was the revenge he dished out after Joe got hit in the back.

I will take that cake. And I will eat it, too.

I'm really glad we won... really.
But that being said, why... WHY did gardy bring Nathan back out for the 9th inning after the twins scored him 3 more runs?? I thought we needed to save our bullpen? Nathan threw more than 35 pitches tonight. there is a good chance he won't be back out tomorrow, and with shaggy's first start, and liriano being on a pitch count, we need nathan more those days than today. ugh. At least nathan got the save.

Ok I take that back. Nathan will probably be able to pitch on Wed.

and hopefully with the Twin's bat being so hawt right now we won't even need to go to our bullpen.

Standing 'O' for the big right-fielder from Virginia! And a sustained golf clap for the Jackyl. Keep this up, Carlos; and I promise to stop the mocking.

i second Elliot's recommendation: "How Jackal got his groove back" - Yes!

Could there be two Twins with triple digit RBI totals?

There should be some sort of counselling available so that we can get ready for this.

Thanks dfb. Or perhaps, 'How Silva got his Sinker Back'?

From inside my head:

Blanton: "I held it like an egg."
Kendall: "And he scrambled the son of a bitch."

Interesting how Carlos kept the A's in check and it was the bullpen that let it slip a little tonight.

Cuddles was smellin 'em tonight... or was it just the cake baking?

Mr. Chairman finally has a jockbio

Alright! I can't believe Verlander got a JockBio before him.

Which Oakland batter will get plunked during this series to make up for Mauer getting it in the back with a 3-0 count? My money is on Kendall.

Isn't kendall like 8th on the all time HBP list?
now there's a career stat you'd love to have.

My vote for Oakland plunkee goes to Milton Bradley. That way when we strand him on first Dr. Neau can tell hm to not pass go and do not collect 200 dollars.

I don't want to jinx it.. but we may have two (even THREE) 30-homer gentlemen on the team this year. I was surprised to see Torii sneaking up on the sacred plane.

Excuse me, I did not mean "will Cuddyer ever get another ribby" I meant "will Nathan ever stop walking people?" He obviously realised that he could give up 5 in the 9th and still get the save as long as he finished the game, but all those piches can't be good for a man.Al

Now you need to add a recipe for frosting the Cuddles cake!

hooray for Cuddy!

I couldn't believe that crappy strike zone tonight! every single pitcher but Gaudin had issues with it. home plate umpire Randy Marsh needs to be smacked around a bit.

i love it.

but...i think i'd pour it into the cake pan and THEN sprinkle on the dimples...and i'd consider baking rather than cooking

i vote for kendall to get smoked..i respect the guy, but i think it'd really piss him off

in good humor,

What a weird but awesome game. Silva back pitching well, weak pitcher hitting Mauer and Mauer showing emotion, Cuddy getting well deserved revenge for his team mate in the best way possible, Silva pitchin well...did I mention that?

Great game. Good luck vibes for McG tomorrow.

Hey Cuddy
He's coming to your town
Hey Cuddy
He never wears a frown
Hey Cuddy
He's happy as can be
'Cuz all Minnesota
Is Cuddy's family
HEY CUDDY!

(With apologies to John Candy and SCTV)

My prediction is Chavez will get plunked in the 1st inning today. The plunking of Mauer was obviously intentional and they didn't even give the pitcher a warning???

The sprinkling of dimples is the secret ingredient that makes this one extra delicious.
