Good thing the heavy hitters in the lineup came through tonight.

[stringer bell]

Holy cow! this guy is throwing 100 mph after 80 pitches?

[Danchat]

And Herrmann breaks the perfect game.

 

As expected.

[ScrapTheNickname]

I've been ignoring this game (do you blame me?), I turn it on and bam, Twins get two hits. I'm shutting it off now. I've seen the best, what's left? Bye.

[gocgo]

Wow!  This ump has a difficult strike zone to decypher.

[wavedog]

Shorten up the swing Dozier - a single brings in two.  

[clank2000]

The Twins against the Yankees are similar to me and chipping in golf. I can hit the most brilliant chips when practicing, just like Phil Mickelson. Get me in a game with a $5 nassau on the line and I'll skull it across the green or do the dreaded chunk/double hit.

With two men on base, you wonder if the Twins will score. 

 

At least with the bases loaded we know what will happen.

[jimmer]

Seems a lot of Twins fans hate losing to the Twins more than any other team.  Sets them off when it happens.  I don't get that because the Yankees are just another team and not even a division rival.

[Ultima Ratio]

A la Aroid, Mauer will prove his worth with the grand slam, amiright?

[Hrbowski]

Nice hitting, Joe!

[Ultima Ratio]

I'll shut up.

[wavedog]

Way to come through Mauer!

Ummmm. Never mind. 

[Brock Beauchamp]

I didn't think Mauer had a chance there. I figured he'd swing and miss at a 99mph fastball.

 

Bad call.

Thanks for leaving it on...

[gocgo]

C'mon Plouffe!  Gimme some hope.

[Hrbowski]

That was a nice hit!

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Plouffe is unstoppable!

 

Twins' style!

[Brock Beauchamp]

A GOOD THING HAPPENED.

[wavedog]

C'mon, we need about 8 more runs

[mickeymental]

three quick outs and a hurricane?

[ScrapTheNickname]

So I'm still tuned in. Had to see Sano bat. Saw a good inning. Question: How has Sano looked at third base today?

[Brock Beauchamp]

Okay, who is going to take one for the team and call in a bomb threat to Yankee Stadium in about 15 minutes?

[70charger]

So Buxton will come back up in Hicks needs some DL time, right? We're not doing the whole Robinson thing anymore are we?

[SwainZag]

Hicksie out of the game

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Plouffe showin' the wheels on the paths, and the ups in the field.

 

Life is good.

[70charger]

If A-Roid were drowning, I'd definitely throw him a barbell.

[Brock Beauchamp]

With Hicks banged up, what excuse do we think the Twins will use to avoid recalling Buxton?

[mickeymental]

hicks out ... buxton in?
