OK, Denard, ducks on the pond for you.

[Jocko87]

Umm, what are we supposed to do here again?

[GCTF]

Yay for bases loaded walks.

[IdahoPilgrim]

I LOVE it when a pitcher walks home the tieing run! (non-Twins pitchers that is)

[glunn]

I am worried about Gray today -- need to get him out.

Who here had "K, can-of-corn" in the What-will-happen-with-Burnettt-coming-on-in-a-1-out-bases-loaded-situation pool?

Not me. Before that inning he'd allowed 50% of his inherited runners to score. (7/14)

I see you're a Canadian Twins Fan. But do you consider yourself to be a Great Canadian Twins Fan?

[IdahoPilgrim]

Ah, that's why I like it when Perkins pitches. He doesn't just get the job done, it makes it interesting at the same time.

I would prefer less interesting.

[DaveW]

Glenn Perkins proven closer. Now trade both he and Capps

Buf of course!

[stringer bell]

Perkins is certainly not Cappsie. He strikes guys out. Yet, he has been a well-placed line drive from blowing both of his save opps against the bottom of the order. What is sad is that Blackburn now has the second-most wins on the Twins staff and he's only one victory behind Diamond.

[jctwins]

Liriano.

 

Pig fix the damn ten character crap.

I love the new vibe this board has taken on in the last 24 hours.

New vibe? Seems like the same old gripe, moan, second guess and dump on everything and everyone, despite the fact we won vibe that always permeates this board.

[Fatt Crapps]

Twins rule

[Fatt Crapps]

Jeff Gray with a terrific hold.

[glunn]

On those somewhat rare occasions of a fun win, I like to relish the good things.

 

Revere and Doumit hit well, Blackburn kept the Twins in the game and the bullpen was money.

 

There will be plenty of opportunities this season to criticize players after a loss. But when the Twins win such criticism kinda spoils the good feeling that comes from a win.

[Guest USAFChief]

I hate it when people gripe, moan, second guess and dump on the old vibe.

[stringer bell]

It seems that dickbert have now been given permission to blame the starting pitching for the team's lack of success. While the numbers bear out fingering the starters for the team's record, it seemed to me that the announcers tiptoed around who to blame until quite recently. Unless there is a miracle with the starting staff, this club isn't going to contend and it now appears that blame will be dumped on only the starting staff.

Either that or blaming Slowey is always an option.
