Game 37 - Twins @ Detroit - 5/17/12

[Jim Crikket]

Wow... well that was... fortunate.

[USAFChief]

Delmon comes through in the clutch for the Twins.

[Kirby_Waved_At_Me]

Perkins was just toying with them, see? It's all part of the plan...

[TwinVike61]

Perkins must have just wanted to face Delmon.

[SirLoin]

That was Guardado-esque...

[one_eyed_jack]

I feel very strongly that we need an insurance run here.

[Montecore]

Glenn Perkins *****

If Capps blows this game...

[striker_86]

Who said we didnt get anything in return for Delmon Young!

[TwinVike61]

Whew... now at least Joe can't ground into a double play...

[USAFChief]

If there was any doubt about what other teams think about Mauer, you just had proof.

1st base open, runner on 2nd, RH hitter on deck, RH pitcher on the mound, 1 run game in the 9th, and they pitch to him. With a fastball.

[striker_86]

Cmon get Revere home here.

[Highabove]

Fasten your Seat belts

[stringer bell]

Let's see if Capps has his good stuff today.

...Says the man who once said he doesn't allow individual plate appearances to prove things. That was a long time ago, of course.

"Watching" on Gameday (shhhhh)...Anyone know the significance of the various colors of the trail of the pitches that are shown? Did a google search and looked briefly at the site, but couldn't find a quick answer.

Perhaps you missed the point. Yet again. Do try to keep up.

This has nothing to do with the results of that PA. This has to do with what other teams think of Mauer as a hitter.

There was a time when every manager in the league puts Mauer on in that situation.

[James]

Let's hope this is not our only series sweep of the year.

[SirLoin]

Well....how do you like that?!?! A 1-2-3 9th and a two game sweep....

[Top Gun]

Twins sweep hehehe.......

[Jim Crikket]

Sweeps sure feel better when your team is the sweeper than the sweepee.
