I was glad to see Eddie Guardado back in a Twins uniform this week. In his first appearance, he took care of business by shutting down the Mariners in the (ghoulish voice) 8th inning. Everday Eddie is a seemingly quick and easy solution to a big problem. Kudos, Bill Smith.
However, I'm not looking forward to Bert and the others who call Eddie, "Ger-Dard-oh"
It's pronounced, "Gore-Dodd-oh"
How far can we run with the Guardado for Hamburger thing?
Smith to Rangers: Would You Like Fries With That?We could go all day. But the whole Hamburger thing is bit over-done at this point.
But seriously folks, Mark Hamburger does have a very interesting story. He's a Minnesota kid who competed in an open tryout with over one hundred other dreamers and got a contract. Check out the SethSpeaks interview with him, it's a good read.

What was you favorite Mike Lamb moment? I probably won't remember him for anything but his salt n pepper beard. But it's a bit shitty how Gardenhire kicked him on his way out the door by saying, "The energy level was not what we expected"

Yeah, I felt bad for Lamb. Even though I wasn't sad to see him leave, I do kind of feel like he wasn't given a very good chance to succeed.
"I would rather play for the Twins more than any other team in the Major League and I thank God that I get this amazing opportunity." - Mark Hamburger
I was really big on Lamb when we got him, but he turned out to be a poor man's Brian Buscher. An interesting Mike Lamb stat I found: He has the fewest eyebrows of all AL third-basemen (1).
"I feel old, but I feel good."
Being the journeyman he is, Eddie will mentor Guerrier and Crain back to their old selves.
Watch out Joe! You could lose your ninth inning.
"SUP Minnesota!"
-Eddie (arriving at Safeco)HAHA
haha, Ger-dard-oh. I hate that too. I also hate when he says She-cago. It's Chi-cago Bert, you annoy me.
Nothing annoys me more than they way he says Konerko. God he sounds like a damn fool every time he says his name.
paul kinurkoh.
Damn you Bert
I too kinda feel after his initial slump to start the season Lamb never got a chance to get going again. After they yanked him he never got any kind of regular plate appearances, and its hard to find your groove when you bat 3 times a week.
You think people at the dome will start chanting "Edd-ie, Edd-ie, Edd-ie" when he comes into games again? Even though hes not a closer anymore?
I too think he will be a good mentor for some of the younger pitchers. Eddie has kinda become famous for that in his last two stops- with Putz in Seattle and CJ Wilson in Texas.
Not to be a dick, but it's actually Gwar-dah-doh. Watch out for those dipthongs.
Actually its GWAR dah doh
