Hurricanes are better than blizzards.  That and he hits like a crazy man there!
 
yeah, that's all I got.

Mmmmmm, blizzards....

[jimmer]

Cookie Dough Blizzard....Yes Please ;-)

[LaBombo]

 

yeah, I don't monitor what he eats.  or expels.

Well, now I've got that in reserve in case I come up empty at my bedtime gratitude exercise.

Mmmmmm, blizzards....

Yummy.

[jimmer]

great throw!

[HitInAPinch]

Oh c'mon Santana!  Just once, a little less drama in the 1st inning !!

[ashbury]

Wow, Kepler's throw home was closer to getting the runner than I thought it had any right to be. Figured the cutoff man blocks it for sure.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

And what is your secret sauce for convincing Joe to waive his no-trade and go play at Tropican?

Not trading Joe... Trade stadiums.

[jimmer]

Santana has given up 8 earned runs in the first inning this year.

[LaBombo]

 

That's where you turn Sano loose on 3-0 and hope to get him going.  What was there to lose?

A chance for him to reach first without pulling a hamstring. Or a prime rib.

[NorthwestTwinsFan]

Nice crowd tonight.  There's gotta be at least 200 people there.

Maximilian Kepler-Rozycki, trailblazer in the fight for European immigrant throwing rights...

If Suzuki is in pain on a swinging strikeout, isn't that catcher interference?

[HitInAPinch]

Much better, Santana!  Deserves a Happy Dance:

[jimmer]

Only if it's on the swing that's going through the zone, not a follow through after passing through the zone.

[jimmer]

Suzuki looked like he grimaced when he hit that ball.  And for a different reason than we did.

[ashbury]

Only if it's on the swing that's going through the zone, not a follow through after passing through the zone.

Yeah, I turned my attention away from the video and just heard the radio announcer, and wondered what it was.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Much better, Santana! Deserves a Happy Dance:

Please clarify which Santana has meritted this dance?

[ashbury]

Please clarify which Santana has meritted this dance?

No Santana in history has ever deserved this kind of punishment.

[HitInAPinch]

 

Please clarify which Santana has meritted this dance?

only one in the lineup tonight ?

[USAFChief]

 

Please clarify which Santana has meritted this dance?

My musically inclined cousin, Carlos Santanarosannadanna.

[ashbury]

only one in the lineup tonight ?

No DSan? I thought we wanted to win this game.

Oh, and TB should lose their franchise. Yes I get the irony coming from a twins fan, but it's become a pretty embarrassing situation down there.

[Aggies7]

Gotta love an umpire who makes it all about himself

Best photo of [insert name of least favorite politician] we've ever had posted at this site!

Nice half-inning by E-San.  Let's beat the Snell out of Blake.

I read somewhere today that they want a new stadium

[big dog]

I like Polanco.  Let's find a place to play him.

[Aggies7]

I'm not sure how much more buxton I can watch.
