Do you hit Kubel for hicks next? If Fuld moves em over? Or too soon?

 

Masterful reverse jinx!

 

Wish i could do that...

[Tibs]

Thatta baby Aaron Hicks!

[cmathewson]

Hicksie tomahawked that one!

[gocgo]

Hicks needed that....so did I.

[njweismantel]

Maybe that home run along with a good at bat for a walk earlier will start a positive streak for Hicks.

[njweismantel]

Good quick inning for Nolasco there. Always a good thing to get the guys back in the dugout quickly after putting up a few runs.

[VATwinsFan]

Is it politically incorrect to yell, "banzai!!" every time Suzuki drives in a run?

[njweismantel]

Suzuki with another big 2-out hit. I don't think anyone expected the bottom half of the lineup to have 6 hits and 8 rbi's. That is impressive considering florimonster is 0-3

While I'm not Asian so I can't say for sure, I'm going to guess "yes".

 

Plus, the dude was born in Hawaii.

It's a time-honored Hawaiian war chant, I'm sure no one would think twice about it.

Imagine the epic scoring that will occur once PFlo reaches his career norms.

[PseudoSABR]

Dickbert just announced the Twins claimed Kenny Wilson from the BJs, AA CFer with speed but not much of an a bat.

Guess you answered the question, Kenny Hitt?

[Boom Boom]

Is it politically incorrect to yell out "you betcha" when Joe Mauer drives in a run?

 

That will be important to know if it ever happens. Zing!

[Kirby_waved_at_me]

oh boy - the dreaded 6th inning.

Ploooooof!

HA. Take that Toronto. You can have Mastro, we'll get younger.

[Twins Twerp]

If burton gets in...im leaving

[ashbury]

If Burton gets in, the lead is large enough many others will be leaving too.

[ashbury]

I'm guessing four runs won't be enough.

 

Ricky only made it into the 6th inning before proving you correct.

How about in honor of his ancestors?

[ashbury]

Hm. A player for whom injuries seem to have eroded his skills, versus a player who hasn't shown enough stick to forecast much success. The classic win-win trade.

[ashbury]

Send him a fan letter and ask.

[njweismantel]

Maybe it is sad, but I only feel really comfortable when the Twins are up by more than four runs that way one swing of the bat at anytime can't tie it.

[Kirby_waved_at_me]

whew - pitcher's best friend to the rescue

[Mike Sixel]

Does that count as a QS, for a MN pitcher? I'll admit, so far, Suzuki is about 1000000x the player I pitctured when they acquired him.

if nothing else it adds another "true CF" to the organization. Maybe the Twins will have fewer middle infielders playing CF in the minors if they add another guy?

[Beezer07]

By mentioning the fact that I'm jinxing things, I'm actually reverse jinxing things...but I can't remember ever seeing the Twins' offense be this hot for this long.

On a similar note, if Florimon pops up four times in a game and it's fielded by the 1b, 2b, ss and 3b, does Elias give him credit for hitting for the cycle?
