Help Wanted

Position available, located behind home plate at HHH Metrodome. Must be able to travel. Job duties include squatting for long periods at a time, catching baseballs at 90 mph, batting well, smiling. If you cry because you get a booboo from a base running error between first and second base, you need not apply. No wussies. Send application, resume and head shot to me.

Yeah, not good to be a Twins catcher right now. Seriously.

Okay, game recap time. B1, White Sox score two runs. I was running errands at this point, so I didn't actually watch it. T2, Contreras gets beaned in the leg by L. Rodriguez. Eat it, bitch. Contreras walks it off and continues pitching. Atta boy, champ. One run scored for us. T3, we take a big lead, scoring four runs. At this point, I was like "Hells yeah! We have GOT this! It is IN THE BAG!" I was wrong. B4, Chicago comes back and says "Eat this, three runs, whores!" Because of this, Matt Garza cries. However, we make a very nice game of tag between third and home plate to end the inning. Looked like something you'd see in a movie. If you were to be scoring it, it would be notated as 6-4-5-1-5. To come back from this, our brand new catcher, Mr. Morales stumbles over himself in between first and second bases in T5. Big owie. No smiles. Limps off the field. We score a run that inning. T6, Two-I hits a homer. High five buddy. 7-5. I think we're going to win now. Contreras taps out. Mike Myers to the mound. Not pretty. Like, he's not hot. B7, Pierzynski (former Twin, I might add) pinch hits off of fresh pitcher Carmen Cali, home run right there. Mr. Sidearm comes in to relieve Cali. Two outs. Two more runs scored. 8-7. T8, MacDougal to the mound, pitches .2 of the inning. Thorton to the mound to close the half of the inning. B8, bases loaded with White Sox, 2 away, Matt Guerrier steps in. Gets the K. Hotness. Scoreless on both sides for the rest of the game.
White Sox Manager, Ozzie Guillen said "The last two games were the ugliest games I've ever seen in baseball, for both sides." Not too hot.
