Nik looks in over his head sadly

Ugh

 

Not a good start darn it

[gocgo]

Saved by fox sports go!

Alright, 2-0 isn't the end of the world.

I am going to be out bass fishing during the game. Hopefully every fish that I catch and release will give karma to Turley.

I've only been Bass Fishing once. 

 

I caught an Ibanez and an Epiphone. 

 

I threw the Epiphone back.

Apparently Nunez found a helmet that fits now?

Rubechat appears to be dead, but someone told me there were forums over here.  I had no idea.  I've read through most everything this morning on the main page, and I love it already.  Much more respectable over here.  I look forward to talking with people who actually LIKE the Twins.  It'll be a nice change of pace.

Beetlebaum? Any friend of Spike Jones is a friend of mine. Like Spike, several of us here are too corny for sophisticated people, and too sophisticated for corny people.

 

I am guessing you and USAFChief will cross paths and swap stories about serving as senior officers in the Spanish-American War.

Great, Angel Hernandez is behind the plate.

Agree but not like.

[Riverbrian]

Turley looks like he needs to throw backwards. More curve to set up the fastball. 

[Mill1634]

That's why you do not give up on Buxton. I've had Co workers saying it's time to move on from him. Not yet IMO.

New to this forum! Perfect timing for me to join. Back to back bombs!!!

It's funny, but I really could get that worked up over Turley giving up a couple of runs in the 1st. It almost looked like Turley got irritated and decided enough was enough when he struck out Pence.

OK, that sliding catch in foul ground at Fenway by Mientkiewicz in the just shown montage was cut off, but he ended the play by throwing the runner out at home trying to tag up. The play was cut off by Hocking (again in foul ground). This was a much more impressive play than the Jeter flip but no one ever mentions that play.

Welcome

 

We expect new posters to bring something.

 

Usually they bring a bottle of wine. But... Two Home Runs are better... So Thank You and welcome to TwinsDaily.

Welcome to Twins Daily!

Glad to be here. Looks like Turley has settled down. He's getting decent movement on his curve.

Grossman won't win many footraces.

[DH_11]

How many pages do game threads normally go?

[John Kelsey]

Turley's stuff looks pretty good. He just needs to stop working himself into hitter's counts which should happen when he settles down. 

 

I hope he gets more starts.
