Game Thread: Twins@Yankees 5/30 6:05PM

Well, at least they got out of that inning only giving up one.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

They are good... I'll give you an 8 out of 10.

 

For the full 10... You will need Bo Derek or the actual Terry Ryan pounding the table.

Actually Bo Derek was always just OK... I always thought there were better 10's... So that won't work either.

 

There's got to be some game set-up material in there

[howeda7]

No, Twins management just needs to tell their employee Ron Gardenhire that his concerns are nonsense and counterproductive to the future of the club. If he has a problem with that, he can resign.

 

Either call up Hermann or fire Gardy. At this point those are the options. The mishandling of Pinto is unforgivable at this point.

[Squirrel]

It's hammer time!

[Riverbrian]

We got ourselves a ball game.

[Riverbrian]

hammer

[longstrangetrip]

Back to back home run games for the Hammer is a really good sign. Big difference with Arcia and him in the middle of the lineup.

 

Don't we have a rookie catcher that's supposed to be kind of strong too?

[Hawkeye12]

Hammer looks healthy for the first time in forever. Nice to see a legit power hitter again, and he's even moving better in left field.

[stringer bell]

Interesting stat-the Twins have hit 40 homers and allowed ......40 homers.

[Riverbrian]

If Hammer can be 2012 like... We got a guy who can help us in the stretch run...

 

That's right... I said stretch run!!!

 

or a trade chip that yields more than Doritos.

[Squirrel]

Big changes in the Twins lineup tonight, but I don't want to steal fellow WindyCity-ite, Chitown's, Lineup Thunder.

 

I love the Snake Plissken reference, by the way.

btw, fellow Windy City-ite? You live in Chicago?

[GCTF]

Chris Hermann. Is there anything he can't do?

[LaBombo]

Eyelid... stitches? Did I hear that right?

 

Hope it doesn't hurt his ability to breathe through it...

 

[Longdistancetwins]

I'm good luck--just tuned in with Hammer at bat! Here in NYC I turned on the New York Rangers game on the radio last night the second they scored the only goal.

[Hawkeye12]

I thought Hicks was hurt?

 

Well... Seems as if he's not. There goes the retroactive DL idea.

 

He pinch ran last night, and took BP today.

[GCTF]

LeCroy? Laudner?

Hey, what do you have against Doritos?

[Riverbrian]

​plouffe

[Squirrel]

It's Plouffe time!

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Hat trick!!!

[stringer bell]

I thought Hicks was hurt?

 

Well... Seems as if he's not. There goes the retroactive DL idea.

He pinch ran yesterday, so it was out the window yesterday.

[Brock Beauchamp]

I heart Yankee Stadium.

[Beezer07]

Yankee Stadium is such a bandbox. Plouffe looked like he barely hit that.

[Hawkeye12]

OK, I like this Yankee Stadium place when we hit the home runs.

[mikeee]

Home run derby!

um, pass me the trade chips please

[Beezer07]

Plouffe's HR makes me so, so optimistic that Hughes is gonna win the Cy Young this year.

[stringer bell]

Your team RBI leader.

[JB_Iowa]

Mind boggling to see the Twins with a 3-run lead in Yankee Stadium.

[LaBombo]

Arcia impressive at the plate tonight...
