Welcome back, Willingham!

 

That got Plouffe home...

[twinsnorth49]

Hammer time is back!!!!!!!!

[Riverbrian]

Ok... Let's try...

 

go UBEL

 

Well.. He didn't strike out. This UBEL thing may have legs.

[mikeee]

The hammer!!!!

[mikeee]

trying to "watch" the game at work - what is the delay right now?

 

Mlb gameday is hosed. I am looking at yahoo right now.

[TheDean]

Even though the Twins have had a tough stretch, the lineup just feels a little more exciting with Danny, Ozzie, Eddie E, and Josmil-ie.

[twinsnorth49]

Plouffe seems pretty good at finding 2nd base.

 

(and now he found 3rd base too)

 

I hope he can make it further...

 

He made it back to the dugout.....the good way.

[amjgt]

Gamecast is down?

[Hawkeye12]

There is our two out extra base hit! Wow he crushed that. It was bat flip worthy.

[longstrangetrip]

Well.. He didn't strike out. This UBEL thing may have legs.

 

 

Try it again next time HRubel is up.

 

Too greedy?

Kinda looks like it's stuck at the same plave as gameday!

[amjgt]

Try it again next time HRubel is up.

 

Too greedy?

 

Worked for this guy: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kelly_Hrudey

[Kirby_waved_at_me]

AH - catching up now.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Try it again next time HRubel is up.

 

Too greedy?

 

Might be HRubris...

 

I on the other hand, was easily satisfied with the KuBBel of the second inning.

 

I think Circus Boy had a good 3 word phrase... "Lower your expectations."

[twinsnorth49]

0-2, where's Chief to fine him?

[longstrangetrip]

Try it again next time HRubel is up.

 

Too greedy?

 

You know, we may be on to something...worked well for HRbek

[Hawkeye12]

Might be HRubris...

Maybe settle for Dubel(s) on a regular basis then.

[twinsnorth49]

Kubel doing it in the field and at the plate........end the madness....please.

[longstrangetrip]

Gotta agree, tn...he takes an hour to get rid of the ball, and then misses the cutoff man.

[Tibs]

I see Danny Santana is 2-2. What kind of hits were they?

[twinsnorth49]

Bunt single and a liner to right.

[longstrangetrip]

That's an inning-ending DP if Kubel hits the cutoff. Let's hope choo lets him off the hook...or Sardinas, rather.

[longstrangetrip]

Bunt single and a liner to right.

 

A fabulous drag bunt...man, he gets down the line fast!

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Maybe settle for Dubel(s) on a regular basis then.

 

I'm on board with this.

 

On the regular bases.

 

(At least I hope a double is do'ble for Kubel)

 

That said, we think we could well do with the starting consonants as found in a certain style of epic poetry...

[Kirby_waved_at_me]

that was a pretty good at bat by Santana!

[twinsnorth49]

This Santana fella is pretty good eh?

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

I think Jason HRuBBel's best days are behind him..

[Riverbrian]

This Santana fella is pretty good eh?

 

I don't know... I hardly get a chance to see him play.

[longstrangetrip]

And yet another opportunity for Mauer to help us out. Listen to the fans if he taps to second...

[Kirby_waved_at_me]

hope these long at-bats are contagious. . .
