Good day to rest Mauer anyway.

[CDog]

Now, that's not the actor Will Smith, right?

Plouffe in left. Correct?

[sbknudson]

Span is in CF, Plouffe is LF.

Let's keep the winning ways going!

[TwinsGuy55422]

Hopefully Mauer doesn't miss more than a couple games.

[Mr. Ed]

Hopefully Mauer doesn't miss more than a couple games.

These are the Twins. LaVelle says already he's guessing the whole series.

I betcha he forces Gardy to put him in no later than Wednesday - he's on a mission to prove to the fans here that he's not injury prone and tough enough to play through minor ailments.

I admit to being fascinated that Butera is not the catcher....

I would rather see him rest a couple days rather than rush back and injure the thumb even more. But you're right, I think he is out to prove he's more durable this year.

[John Bonnes]

Attaboy Willingham.

[NorthwestTwinsFan]

Willingham gets things started with a 2-run bomb. Twins offense needs to put up a big number tonight.

[sbknudson]

Good first inning for DeVries - slightly more pitches than I like, but solid start.

Try to swing a bat with a sprained thumb...then try to do it in the big leagues!

[TwinsGuy55422]

Carroll says, "That's what you get for playing me so shallow!"

[sbknudson]

**sigh** it's gonna be one of those days...

[glunn]

Dozier could probably use an off day.

[NorthwestTwinsFan]

The few times DeVries keeps the ball in the infield, the Twins fielders can't make a routine play. Embarrassing..

[TwinsGuy55422]

You need to make the plays that professionals are supposed to make. COME ON!
