Game Thread, Twins vs. White Sox, 5/2 @ 1:10pm CT

[Craig Arko]

Beating Sale then winning 1-0 with a great showing by Gibson then winning today will have provided a great fan experience.  Hopefully more fans will start showing up at Target Field.

 

I have my tickets in hand for Anaheim this year.

Was at Pelfrey's gem last Tuesday, and have tickets for the 17th against the Rays.

 

Didn't go at all last year.

Plouffe seems to be following the Koskie plan for maturing into a solid third baseman.

Oh, and Hughes starts the first playoff game.

I am appreciating the way that Plouffe is developing, and think that he has the tools to get even better.

Esco Esco ... let's go Esco!

[Squirrel]

Oh poop

Maybe the Twins are turning a corner and will do better this year than many of us thought?

Uh oh. Boyer coming in.

Well, the Intermediate Value Theorem says you have to pass through that on the way to Good (yes, I know it's not a continuous function, pedants).

 

By the way, welcome to the new Princess.

Few will make that differentiation, integral though it may be.

[diehardtwinsfan]

It's an integral part of step functions.

[Squirrel]

GET HIM OUT!!!

[Squirrel]

Whew

LOL

[ashbury]

Has anybody seen Schafer lay down a successful bunt, ever?

[Squirrel]

I want to score more runs here.

[Craig Arko]

The Tonkin Resolution don't need no stinken' Gulf.

[Squirrel]

Tempted to buy more shoes.

[Squirrel]

Okay. It's Perk time!

[ashbury]

[Squirrel]

Yes, I get what I deserve ... shoes

By the way, welcome to the new Princess.

 

And congrats to Mom, Dad and big brother.

 

I know she has lots of help but that is still one tough Momma -- looking like a model and going home the same day as giving birth.

[Squirrel]

1 down, 2 to go ... go Perk!

[Squirrel]

Nice play! 2 down, 1 to go ... go Perk!

[ashbury]

OK, so it's a song. Brian would have had this.

[ashbury]

I think you are now officially on the hook to do these anytime he's in for the save.

Good crowd here on a perfect afternoon in Minneapolis. Announced attendance of 30,551 at Target Field. Highest since home opener.

 

if you win, they will come ... or maybe it was those hats.   Hmmm.....
