(Jumping up and Down) Hey everyone... Come back.... (Waiving arms)... Hey everyone... Herrmann got a hit...

 

I have seen the future of Twins baseball...and his name is Chris Hermann.

[big dog]

I'm liking Santana a lot. I hope we get to see him some more. For example, I hope we get to see him cross home plate in the next five minutes.

[Riverbrian]

Atta Boy... Drive that run in.

He's my second favorite Munster

Herrmann things to work on Checklist:

 

We may want to add baserunning to it.

Probably easier to just find a new job in a different field, and I don't mean in left field instead of right field.

[LaBombo]

Since we'll be chattering incessantly about him, maybe we can save time and shorten his name to Dan Tanna...

[Riverbrian]

We are in good shape... Herrmann will be up again.

[gocgo]

I'll say this. I have been more entertained by Twins baseball this year than I think I was all of last year. They don't say die.

[LaBombo]

We are in good shape... Herrmann will be up again.

In relief? Butera-esque!

[LaBombo]

There is no game thread. I'm going to go grab lunch.

But you'll miss the big ral...

 

Nevermind.

[Kirby_waved_at_me]

Just when I think I'm out, they pull me back in...

 

I have to say that these games are all very close - they are figuring out how to compete despite the rube goldberg roster

[Fatt Crapps]

Swarzie doing his part

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Oh well...

 

Back to a 3 run lead.

 

But i like the outfield assist at second... on a force out. (is that the dark side of the force out?)

Gutsy performance by Swarzie. The balls just weren't finding the gloves.

[LaBombo]

Oh well...

A real center fielder probably makes that catch, but probably doesn't make that quick throw.

You know, Kubel looks amazing in the outfield by comparison to everybody else that's gone out there. Silly team, they thought he'd be the DH out of spring.

[LaBombo]

Nice grab by Kubel reminds us that he's their best defensive outfielder at the moment.

[deanlambrecht]

This is easily the most depressing game of the season. To date. /bangs head

One of the reports stated Kubel has been requiring heavy leg stretching by the trainers before every game. It must be working

Scott Atchinson looks terrible for being 38

Scott Atchinson looks terrible for being 38

But effective against my favorite team

[Richie the Rally Goat]

Hey! This new pitcher for the Twins looks familiar!

[Richie the Rally Goat]

No... She makes them up for me.

[LaBombo]

After praising Santana, Dick spouts the heretical notion that maybe a contender should have, like, a regular shortstop or something. Has he announced his retirement?
