Caught that live while idly checking out the game on WGN. Ended up yelping.

He was playing Pierre the other way, shallow.

Holy mack. Wow.

[Guest Edgy DC]

How do you like the picnicker in the White Sox jersey yelling at him.

Phil Humber with his third career victory in that game.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Humber's stuff was nasty-looking for the two innings I caught; swing-and miss up the wazoo, and two Ks on 12-6 curves that ended up in the dirt.

[Frayed Knot]

- Sam Fuld sounds like a guy who played like 70 years ago

- Fat White Sox guy: "You lucky sunnafabitch"

- That 12-6 curve was supposed to be Humber's meal ticket coming out of college. Maybe he's not too old yet to still carve out a decent career for himself.

Would be a bit funny if the only tangible thing the Twins got from the Johan trade was a solid, cheap starter on the White Sox.

Nice catch!

Sam Fuld is a great story - playing professional baseball despite being diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes at age 10. By all accounts he's a good guy - it's nice to see that he's doing well.

Ha, that's great. Guy catches a foul ball...while holding a baby.

Delois Guerrera is still in AA for them...and I think they have a couple of marginal prospects after trading JJ Hardy who they traded Gomez for. But that's it.

And Guerra's still just 22. But the K numbers keep dropping while the walk rate/hit rate climb.

Hoey from the Hardy trade made the Twins roster this year as a reliever, I think.

Melvin Mora could do that with five babies.
