Bet the Tribe are even less happy with their prize LaPorta from the CC trade walking around woozy right now in Beijing. Wow, saw the highlights of that game in the past hour and with all the beanballs and MMA type crashes at the plate, any MLBer would have been proud to be part of that game!

Only thing though, the benches didn’t clear, so it had to be the Olympics. Terry Tiffee having an MVP performance in the first games so far.

“Players must be on a team’s 25-man roster as of August 31 to be eligible for post-season play. The only exception is that a player on the 60-day disabled list may be replaced by another player from the team’s 40-man roster (as of August 31) who plays the same position.”

From Major League Baseball Transactions.

Pat Neshek is the only Twin on the 60 day DL. He could be replaced on the Twins playoff roster by another pitcher on the Twins 40-man roster.
Otherwise we need a 60-day-DL injury to a position player to occur by August 31, in order to add another position player (Cuddyer?, Tolbert?) for the (possible) playoffs.

He should have caught that one that went off his glove. Sometimes he reminds me of a timid little boy.

He’ll come back though. Just ask TNIC. Delmon is quite young.
