Game Thread, Twins vs. Cardinals, 6/18 @ 12:10 pm CT

That 1st pitch to Vargas was waaaay outside.  Terrible call.

[Hrbowski]

They need to let Pelf finish the game.

I've seen about enough of Kenys.

I'd seen about enough of him before he got the call.

[70charger]

No wonder this game seems like it's going super fast. Pelfrey worked that inning quick.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Have we had a walk off win this year? Maybe the Twins are saving the drama for the bottom of the 9th.

[Gibby]

 

Me too. Bring up Arcia.

 

  I'd agree if Arcia weren't such a 3 year old.

The nominations for jinx goat of the day are piling up.

I went too close to the sun on the last one. My bad.

Circumstantial evidence...

 

We can still pull it out.

 

Pelfrey, we got yer back!

[Kirby_waved_at_me]

Said it before and I'll say it again - I feel really bad for the Twins Starters. What more could be asked of these guys?

[Gibby]

 

  When does Buxton hit his first homer?

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

sigh.

 

Don't bunt.

Nunez is one of the very, very few guys doing anything at the plate. Let him hit for Pete's sake.

  I'd agree if Arcia weren't such a 3 year old.

I'd call that passion for the game, and at least he can occasionally hit a baseball.

was Arcia the guy who tore off his shirt complaining about a call last week?

In fairness, those of us watching via an Internet feed might also blame this:

  Well hello Joe.

[Ultima Ratio]

Bye!.... off to buy a lottery ticket!

[NoCryingInBaseball]

Tie game!!

YOU DON'T SAY!!!

 

ETA: I had to go back and like that post. Just because.

[Hrbowski]

Mauer might not hit many homers, but when he does, it counts.

[Kirby_waved_at_me]

WHAT. JOE!

[FattCrapps]

MAUER POWER!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Flashbacks to '09

[70charger]

I literally had this typed up in the text box, ready to go. For whatever reason, decided to wait for Mauer's at bat:

 

"How did this offense get so freaking bad? What happened? Can we go back to May?"

 

 

 

[Whammy]

That was unexpected. He certainly has made the most of his two homers

[70charger]

 

Not to worry, Mauer's got this.

 

Nailed it.
