Game Thread: Twins v Phillies, 6/21 @ 7:10pm CT

[operation mindcrime]

Solid pitching matchups this series!

[Aggies7]

Kuntzler looking strong in this role

[David HK]

Oh, my-  So the Vikes got a couple of TDs, and the Eagles a TD and FG.  Did Teddy throw one, or AP run them over?

[USAFChief]

Winnah!

[Aggies7]

Twins win!

[David HK]

Po-tential.....

 

Not in the oven just yet......

 

 

YES!!!

 

[Squirrel]

Nice place to get back to the game! And I just want to say it here ... every game thread I've started this season, the Twins have won.

[LaBombo]

 

Kintzler walked a mile to pitch the 9th.

They have to bribe him with Camels to get him out there now?

[Squirrel]

 

So are the rest of us, uhh, like in trouble for reading it, or...

Wow, the BP line looks good, except for Gulfa Tonkin, who may or may not have taken a couple torpedoes...

[NoCryingInBaseball]

I was at the game....a "slug-fest"!!!

[HitInAPinch]

I like the way the Twins have been fighting back lately. 

 

But the starting staff is sure making it tough.

Well, at least you know what you're doing for the next 3 months-- every day there's a game...

4 hits for Suzuki.  The extension of the extension is just a given. Now the only question is how far the Twins will go to extend Suzuki's career with purchases on the human replacement parts black market.

I was hoping for more of a Weekend at Bernie's style extension with him wearing sunglasses and a sideways batting helmet and maybe just like strapped to Kenneth Vargas' back or something.

noticed you had to leave first.....

The new German kid scored both TD's.  They missed the first extra point so they went for two in the bottom of the 8th.

No worries, he and the rest of the bullpen crew will be shipshape in the second half of the season...

Can we just play these guys the rest of the season?  Pretty even matchups, I'd say.

Quit showing us dining delicacies in Hong Kong!

I'll watch that no matter how far below .500 they get.

Sano has a higher ceiling.

Yeah, he does. He needs one, he's like 6'4".

[stringer bell]

 

No Abad for Howard?

Didn't want to waste the specialist on Howard. It appears anyone can get him out.

Yes but he looks shorter because he's so fat. .....or so I've been told.

[Circus Boy]

 

Well, no way this east coast fan is going to be able to stay through the finish of this pitchers' duel. G'night all.

 

G'night, Johnboy. I didn't make it either, and I'm the same TZ as the Twins.

 

EDIT: Did we win?

Started well; really went down the toilet after that.

 

14 runs? Do it again tomorrow (which is now today, of course).

[Platoon]

The good news about Park is when we play in the NL, missing the DH won't really be an issue. The bad news for Park, is EE hitting for him tells you a lot about what's gonna happen when the Big Guy returns from rehab.

YES!!!
