Game Thread: Twins @ Yankees, 6/1@12:05pm CT

Dozier... Yes... That was big

 

Ummm... And I still standby my 2 for 35 comment and Dozier needing a day off.

[Tibs]

Thatta kid, Dozier!

[Circus Boy]

I'll feel better about this if we can get Hicksie in.

[Squirrel]

I remember him hitting a game winning homer off Rivera maybe 4-5 years ago...maybe even a grand slam? But that was clearly a different Kubel

Yup. After Rivera had issued a walk or two. And I remember Rivera saying he wasn't as upset about the GS as he was the walks.

[deanlambrecht]

Doziersie!!!!

[longstrangetrip]

That's the one. Couldn't remember how many runs.

 

I was with my sons and father-in-law moving my daughter into her apartment in Hamilton, NY after her college graduation, and we celebrated Kubel's game winner with a beer break...nice memory!

Yep. Grand Slam.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Okay, I was satellite-less.

 

How did the Twins get the 2nd run?

 

2nd run of the game or the inning?

 

Game: Willingham sent the first pitch he saw to lead off the 9th over the left field wall.

 

Inning: Suzuki and Hicks walked (Kubel and Escobar K'd) and Dozier doubled to left.

 

(They intentionally walked Mauer, so bases are loaded)

[Squirrel]

Okay, I want Nunez to make the Yankees sorry they got rid of him.

[Beezer07]

Just like Mauer to walk and leave the RBI chance up to someone else.

[JB_Iowa]

Yes, yes, yes.

 

Former Yankees!

[glunn]

I love insurance runs, especially when a former Yankee provides them.

[Beezer07]

Let Hughes get back out there and get the CG!!!!

[Brock Beauchamp]

It's really hard to watch former Yankees beat the hell out of the Yankees in Yankee Stadium.

 

Yep. A real cryin' shame.

[Riverbrian]

Nice... We just had to wait for the ninth

[longstrangetrip]

Did you aver think you would see the day when walking Mauer to get to Nunez would be a stupid strategic move?

[Guest USAFChief]

I heard Mr. Chief's mother say that once.

That's my favorite so far.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Nunez' double to right plates two more.

 

(Some witty comment about breaking the yankees' dam... When it rains, it pours.)

[longstrangetrip]

Let Hughes get back out there and get the CG!!!!

 

Bert?

[Squirrel]

Time for an Arcia major bomb

[jokin]

It's really hard to watch former Yankees beat the hell out of the Yankees in Yankee Stadium.

 

Yep. A real cryin' shame.

 

Maybe we keep Nunez long-term?.....as a post-season Yankee-killing specialist....

[Beezer07]

I remember Thornton being a lot....rounder...is this the same guy?

[Guest USAFChief]

Bert?

Come to think of it...Bert's not on the Broadcast today. Anyone ever seen Bert and this "Beezer07" fellow together? Anyone?

[JB_Iowa]

I'll take that even though it wasn't a bomb!!

[snepp]

Maybe we keep Nunez long-term?.....as a post-season Yankee-killing specialist....

 

Can Hughes start multiple games on one day of rest?

[glunn]

This is getting better and better.

[Tibs]

Lololololololololololololololololol.

 

This is really fun.

[Squirrel]

If Dave was at the game today, he must've left early.

[JB_Iowa]

I really hope that Spirit of Vodka Dave is using his alter ego to be at Yankee Stadium today ... I want him to see a Twins win.

[Guest USAFChief]

A late six run rally! And not even ONE wild pitch!
