Was Ramirez doing headstands with his helmet on?

Was Ramirez doing headstands with his helmet on?

Or throwing his helmet in a temper tantrum that reminded his mom of the good ole days?

So bizarre to see the starting pitcher matchups with the Twins' pitcher with better stats.

Except Buchholz has almost 3 times as many K's.

 

But yeah, especially it being Pelf, weird.

Good spot for Boyer to show his true colors and we will have to find someone else for the 7th inning in crucial spots

See!!!!! He needs to be moved to the 8th!!!

Torii and the boys have:

CBU:

Final:  Twins 7, Red Sox 2

 

Nolasco goes 7 2/3

Plouffe with a 3 run HR in the 2nd

Other hits, runs and rbi's spread around

 

 

I don't want to read any comments about how people read the whole thread and don't know  what happened in the game.

I read the whole thread. I don't know what happened in the game. Still. Can't seem to grasp it. What did happen? Did we get a new pitcher?!

[blairpaul715]

Today was the day for seeing pitchers we dont trust, making us look bad

[Craig Arko]

Looking at the highlight footage, I see Hicks and Plouffe showing some good D.

[Bark's Lounge]

 

Bark, Bark, where are thou?

 

(Or anyone else who wants to be creative)

 

Anybody have a graphic for this series?

I'm getting a runtime error in photoshop so I'll have to reinstall and it won't be this p.m.

 

So always33 or Bark or someone give the Twins an identity for this series!

Sorry JB. I had to be away from the computer today. I watched most of the game though. Not much not to like.

 

In honor of today's conquest and for you I will raise the Rally Roger!

 

[Halsey Hall]

So we don't score after the 2nd inning.  If I'd of kept snoozing who knows what the score would of been.  Nice win, again today.

I think what you meant to say was " Way to go Plouffe"!

[JB_Iowa]

They did.  Overall, the team D is much improved from early in the season.  Torii had a nice little catch just over the wall in the right field stands.  Rosario was crisp and competent in Left.  Escobar played a good short.   There was a nice DP (Plouffe-Dozier-Mauer) w/no one out (if I remember right).

 

Confidence seems to have a wonderful effect on competence.

Or Ricky Sevenandtwothirdsinningspitchedandtworunslasco!!!!!!!

When the Twins first signed him I made up what I thought would be a very good nickname for him. Ricky Nolossco. I was disgusted at first, but it if apparently it was his bad twin pitching all that time...yeah, Nolossco it is. For me at least. I'm not asking anyone to jump on the bandwagon.

[blairpaul715]

Is Santana soon to be sent down, if Escobar can play like this??? Not that he did much, but they want him in the lineup and i dont want him in LF, and Santana is struggling.......Polanco is more than on  his heals for playing time at the MLB level.
