Game 60 - Twins vs Phightin' Phils - 6/12/12

[glunn]

Phils seem to be figuring Blackburn out in the 4th -- we really need an out here.

[Chance]

Do the Twins trade Valencia at the deadline? And do they get more for him than they got for, say, Delmon?

If Plouffe continues to play this well I think that they trade either Valencia or Span. Span will draw more but be harder to part with. They might go that route if they value Valencia more than other GMs might. I say either one because they could move revere to center and Plouffe to right.

The Delmon trade isnt looking bad. Cole Nelson looks like he could be a very solid starter with K potential. And Oliveros could be a future closer.

[Chance]

this game got uncomfortable in the last five minutes

[glunn]

This is getting bad.-- Blackburn can't seem to get that one out that we needed.

[stringer bell]

Nick "BP" Blackburn. Willingham for DH?

The Blackburn era can't end quick enough for me.

Twins need to send Blackburn and his neck beard packing asap.

[glunn]

The Blackburn era can't end quick enough for me.

He started well tonight -- just seems unable to sustain.

[glunn]

Span needs to get on base -- we need more runs.

[Chance]

The Blackburn era can't end quick enough for me.

I wrote a blog the other day about my projected 25 man roster for next season and I had us trading him for a grounds worker.

He just isn't an MLB pitcher.

Mauer didn't miss that homerun by much.

[snepp]

That @#$%@#$^@# abomination of a wall in center field rejects another home run ball.

[Chance]

Theres the Mauer double you were looking for earlier!

[stringer bell]

Mauer tagged that double. It did produce a run, but not pulled enough for a 2-run homer.

[stringer bell]

Thome bomb in 5, 4 3, 2,...

[USAFChief]

Nice to see Mauer turn on a 2-0 pitch. Would like to see him do that more often.

[Chance]

Think we get Swarzak or Burnett? Then Burton Perkins Capps if were leading by 3 runs or less

[mike wants wins]

Blackburn, never been a fan. But you have to love the way the hitters are going right now. That's a HR in most parks, Mauer crushed that thing.

[snepp]

That's a HR in most parks, Mauer crushed that thing.

I was wondering about that, is there another park in the league that doesn't go out in?
