Brock, The lead-in picture wins the award for most hilarious pitching face duo.

Scott Diamond's "OOMPH" face is classic. I stopped trying to find pictures where he wasn't making that face and embraced it.

[diehardtwinsfan]

Diamond, Deduno, Duensing, and DeVries... All of the filler Ds in one series. This rotation is awful.

[Coach J]

What's the over/under for Rangers runs scored this series??

180.

 

I'm taking the over.

[SweetOne69]

What's the over/under for the runs scored by the Twins? I'll take the under @ 8 runs.

 

So far on this road trip (6 games) the Twins have scored 15 runs and 7 of those came in 1 game. So far the have scored: 3,2,1,7,1,1

So I see that Span plans to be in the line-up playing CF tonight. Where's the rest of the line-up (don't mean you, Brock -- can't find it on Twitter either).

The Twins are lagging, as usual. I think Gardy has to be one of the slowest managers in MLB to post a lineup. The Twins almost always post their lineup after the opposing team.

[Brock Beauchamp]

Span is finally back in the lineup. Given how long it was taking for the Twins to post it, I feared the worst.

I wouldn't call it over yet. He will play one game and then get sat for 2 more before going on the DL with a bruised femur.

[Bark's Lounge]

If the Twins are going to win a game this series - tonight is the night. Oswalt has been awful thus far. Twins plate 11 tonight, led by Morneau's 2HR's and 5 RBI's and Revere going 4 for 6 with 4 runs scored and 2SB's (Fingers Crossed). Final score 11-6 Twins

Diamond has a 2.95 ERA over 19 starts. Leave him out of your "awful" opinion and "filler Ds" cuteness.

[B Richard]

Our best chance by far comes in game 1

Without a doubt. Oswalt has strugggled and if Diamond can keep the ball on the ground, the Twins have a shot tonight.

[Brock Beauchamp]

Willingham has been scratched, btw. sore neck.

[B Richard]

Does anyone here have any good sites for streaming games? I don't have mlb.tv and am habitually frustrated by not being able to watch the Twins

Outside of MLB.tv I've never found a reliable source. I'd suggest subscribing to that service. twenty bucks a month is pretty cheap for ~25 games.

[Mahukey]

darn, I really wanted to see that triple he promised;)

Yeah I always watch the free game of the day on mlb.com and the quality is fantastic, if I weren't a broke college kid I would pony up the cash

[Guest USAFChief]

Great start for Diamond.

[B Richard]

Gave Andrus waaayy too much to hit in an 0-2 count

[B Richard]

Florimon to the rescue, great catch

[snepp]

Well, Diamond has matched his season high for walks.

[Guest USAFChief]

Hate to say it, but Plouffsey has looked pretty brutal since coming back. Not just the lack of hits, but some awful ABs and bad swings. I wonder if the thumb is healthy.

[B Richard]

Great throw by Carson

[kydoty]

Hamilton better watch it. He might get one in the ribcage tonight.

[kydoty]

**** you, Wally Bell!!! **** you right in your ****ing neck!

[B Richard]

Was either dugout warned even prior??? That is such bs, let em play

[notoriousgod71]

OK I just turned it on right before Diamond got ejected. I didn't see the Mauer HBP. Was it that obvious?
