Game Thread: Twins @ White Sox, 5/22 @ 7:10pm CT

[Squirrel]

LOVE 1st inning runs!

For me, no matter the inning, I like getting first blood!

[Hrbowski]

NICE JOB, JOE!!!!

[Craig Arko]

Wheels Mauer.

[stringer bell]

Stolen base nets a run!

[mnsportsgeek]

Mauer with an RBI double and then creates the opportunity for the 2nd run to even happen.

 

But he is still terrible according to the loud minority.

Nice work by PJH.

 

CBU:  2-0 Twins after 1.

[twinsnorth49]

Wut, Mauer creating runs? No, really?

[twinsnorth49]

White Sox Suck.

 

 

Carry on.

I think this was the first time he crossed the plate all year.

[mnsportsgeek]

I sense a short day for Jeff.

[twinsnorth49]

Notre Dame....

 

 

.....barf.

[Craig Arko]

Notre Dame....

.....barf.

Not all bad; Alan Page.

I signed up for http://www.southsidesox.com/ just so I can troll the Sox fans. Much to my surprise, no game thread yet.

 

I did announce on the Sox game thread Thursday evening that I was going to be back to give and take abuse Friday evening.

 

Have the Sox fans given up already?

 

By the way, the Sox site posted a picture of the actual lineup card, which I thought was pretty cool. 

 

Going through the game thread, though, it appears a lot of Sox fans are, shall we say, unhappy with their team.

 

hahahahaha...may the Twins bats beat the Sox into oblivion.

Heh... I saw your post when I was over there trolling.  It's almost as good as listening to Hawk whine to read the fatalistic comments over there.  

 

[Squirrel]

Out! Out! Get this out!

[JB_Iowa]

WebGem, Aaron Hicks!

[mnsportsgeek]

Yup, I'm an Aaron Hicks fan for life now.

[Squirrel]

Hicks saved a couple runs with that one! Go Hicks!

[twinsnorth49]

Not all bad; Alan Page.

Reason to be a Vikings fan, not Notre Dame.

[formerly33]

And Gameday just calmly states that "Carlos Sanchez lines out to center fielder Aaron Hicks."

[Squirrel]

After 2, it's still 2-0 Twins. Let's add two to that, too. All about the 22222222

[twinsnorth49]

Just like a CF there Hicks.

[Craig Arko]

Reason to be a Vikings fan, not Notre Dame.

He's in the collegiate Hall of Fame, too.

 

Alan Page trivia: since he was born and raised in Canton, Ohio when he was in high school he took a job on a construction team building the Pro Football HoF.

I remember following the gameday feed on a day when the Twins weren't on TV in 2003.

 

It was the game that Shannon Stewart made a game tying hit and Dustin Mohr broke Bengie Molina's wrist that allowed Shannon Stewart to come all the way home and win it in walk off fashion.

 

I think that was the most anti-climactic gameday statement I ever read.

[stringer bell]

That was an outstanding catch by Hicks. The ball was slicing away from him and he outran the slice.

I'm still holding Notre Dame against him.

[stringer bell]

It looks to me like the ball is not carrying well at all at the Cell.

[mnsportsgeek]

Phil looking like the Phil of 2014 right now.

[formerly33]

 

I would love to trade any combination of Hughes/Santana/Nolasco/Pelfrey and be the first team next year to go with 3 - 3 inning pitchers per game. It's bound to happen eventually-let's start the transition party! Any takers?

This is from a different thread. All I can say is, my prospect Luke Westphal's the man for you! Anyone else know why he got pulled already?

[twinsnorth49]

Hughes sure looks average tonight.

 

 

 

(reverse jinx)

[stringer bell]

I predict small ball this inning.

 

 

Edit: Maybe next inning.
