Memo to Bert:

 

Buildings exploding in slow motion - Cool

 

Mike Pelfrey "exploding" to home plate in slow motion - Not so cool

[JB_Iowa]

Could have been worse, I guess.  Heads up throw to 3rd.

Could have been worse, I guess.  Heads up throw to 3rd.

Concur.

 

(2 outs, runners at first and second, single up the middle, and they get runner at first trying to take third, but not before the runner scores from second.)

 

That's Boston up, 1-0 CBU after 7.

[stringer bell]

Couldn't finish them off in the seventh. Pretty sure Pelf is done.

Xandah Bogae'ts with a two-out double, then Sandy Leon takes ball fou' and heads down to fi'st base. Castillo singles to Hicks, Bogae'ts sco'es. Sandy Leon out at thi'd on the throw by Aaron Hicks.

 

Acco'ding to the Boston announcahs, Pelfrey's a big dude.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Hicks almost clears the right fielder...

[JB_Iowa]

I don't like being the Away team.

[drock2190]

Think that's game. Bucholz has his stuff tonight unlike last week.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

If Fien pitches the 8th, i hope Boyer pitches the 9th, but Perkins would be good too.

[formerly33]

_{Pwetty nawsty cuttah right the'e.}

[stringer bell]

Good job by the home plate ump tonight. His zone was consistent, with it being higher than the average zone IMHO.

[David HK]

Man, win or lose, my hat's off to Pelf.  He was on my hate-watch list for the past couple of years, but he really battled tonight, as he has been so far this season.  Too bad we didn't get our allotment of first-inning runs.  There was no lead for him to make it stand up.

[stringer bell]

If somebody pitches the ninth for the Twins, I sure hope it is Perk.

[mnsportsgeek]

Good luck getting to Uehara.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

I don't mind not having magic, but i'm hoping to see some good base running and timely hitting, and all that. (I've already got my bag of chips.)

[Halsey Hall]

Too bad Pelfrey didn't get some run support.  Another great game by him though.  But so and so has our number, racking up the zeros. 

[David HK]

Buchholz and his hair goop did the job, tonight, too.  Maybe some 9th-inning magic?   I love a good pitchers' duel, but it still kind of makes me feel like this--

[Gibby]

 

Good luck getting to Uehara.

 

  That's what she said.

[Bark's Lounge]

Damn, we need something good to happen.

 

I'll throw my hand in and offer the "Comeback Cockroach".

 

[Gibby]

 

  Plouffy was born for moments like this.

[blairpaul715]

Win or lose, good game

[Gibby]

 

  Now we'll see how damn clutch Zuke is.

[JB_Iowa]

2 Chances to get 'em tomorrow!

[Gibby]

 

  Now we'll see how damn clutch Zuke is.

 

  Ok.

[formerly33]

Sniff.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Thanks all for the co-misery.

 

Tomorrow is another day...

[Puckett34]

Dang.  Oh well at least Pelfrey pitched good enough to win.  2 chances tomorrow!

[mickeymental]

looks like joe didn't exactly pepper the monster tonight. oh well, maybe tomorrow ...

[Craig Arko]

I sad.

 

Better now.

 

Ok, let's play two!

[Gene Larkin]

Twins started to unravel last year after managing only 2 runs while getting swept at Fenway. After tonight's game I'm fearful of history repeating itself.
