Ugh...back in the office the day after the 4th and I have taken a total of 1 phone call all day so far. I am so bored that I am going to start the GDT thread and try to snap my streak of terrible luck with these things so far this year. Diamond on the mound for us today opposite Porcello who we usually handle pretty well. I will post the lineups whenever they come out.

WIN TWINS!!

I am taking Morneau for P2C/Streak today.

I am not playing fantasy baseball with the threadies this year jack. Got me mixed up with someone else.

P2C-Plouffe

I want Plouffe today for both as well.

Plouffe bandwagon for both today

Looks as if we may have a little wait on the game today...radar doesn't look all that bad from what I can see from the weather channel app on my phone.

Yep, just went into a rain delay. Im glad it hasn't been like this at Target Field so far

Oh, ok. I'll take Mauer for both then.

Doumit for both today.

As long as the Twins are in a rain delay, I'll take Joe Mauer for both today. I think Willingham got me well into the 80s earlier this week. Maybe Joe can get me into the 90s!

Looks like we are about to start.

WIN TWINS!!!

Revere with a base hit.

A walk to Mauer gives up 1st and 2nd with one out.

Come on Doumit!

Since Willingham isn't in the lineup I would like to change to Plouffe for both...if it's OK.

Doumit kills the rally with a GIDP.

I don't like him in the 4 hole...I think Plouffe would have been my choice followed by Morneau and then Doumit.

Plouffe it is...as long as the player hasn't had their first plate appearance, they are fair game.

Jackson K's

1 away
