Article: Series Preview: Twins vs Mets, 4/12

[Guest USAFChief]

Let me repeat...this is going well.

[Ultima Ratio]

Put a tent up... we've got a circus.

[one_eyed_jack]

And there's the defense that makes bad innings even worse.

 

What time do the T-Wolves tip off?

[Guest USAFChief]

Standing "O" for the first Met retired.

[GCTF]

All part of Worley's plan to get the hell out of there asap.

[ashbury]

Ten balls swung at and not put in play, or taken for strikes, in the first 6 batters. Something to build on.

 

/ I'm really trying to be positive here. In other news, so far my latest in-game avatar sucks.

[Ultima Ratio]

This is making me believer in the whole free agents don't want to come to the Twins meme.

[glunn]

A Twins starter spots the opposition a few runs before most fans have settled into their seats. We only saw that, what, 125 times last year?

 

I hated this last season and hate it more now.

[Willihammer]

Twins starting 4 Californians today.

[Guest USAFChief]

So...how bout that 14 yr old at the Masters!

[LaBombo]

2-4 and a walk for Hicksie tonight...

[LaBombo]

There's the walk, now just get the 2.

[glunn]

Hammer time!

[glunn]

Tying run at the plate for Dozier. Twins have the makings of a comeback here.

Whoops, I meant Ramirez.

[Ultima Ratio]

Fun with numbers: game is on pace to be a 45-18 Mets win.

[Guest USAFChief]

I liked the 3-0 green light for Ramirez. Perfect time to take a shot.

In case anyone's wondering, it's 75 and partly cloudy in Tucson. Mid 80s and sunny weekend forecast.

I've got the over on that 1st number.

[Willihammer]

Well the Mets aren't missing the cutter, they're not missing the 2 seemer. Good thing Worley has all those secondary offerings to fall back on.

[ashbury]

Five runs against in the first inning. When's the last time that happened?

 

/ oh wait, last Tuesday

[mikeee]

wow, they are playin ball!

I am glad I am at home!!!!

dam... 6-2

[one_eyed_jack]

I didn't realize Ike Davis was Ron's son, how did I miss that?

[ashbury]

Awright, another run in and the bases loaded, this Hrbek avatar isn't getting the job done. I'm bringing in the lefty in long-relief. Tried her as a starter and as a closer, maybe this is the role she's suited for.

 

/ lefty, as in left shoulder tan-line

[VATwinsFan]

Second inning, no outs, 7 hits and 57 pitches.

 

Oh, and 6 runs in already with the bases loaded.

 

Yikes.

[mikeee]

mighty early for the pen.. dang.

[Guest USAFChief]

What's the opposite of the player you listed in the "guilty pleasure" thread? Worley is quickly becoming whatever that is. It's one thing to suck. It's another to stand on the mound looking like you'd rather be anywhere else, even if it's cold and you're getting your brains beat in. You're in the major leagues, Vance. Try to look like you give a #*$(.

Speaking from Section 211, right now you and Glunn are on my "need ban-nation for taunting" list (Is that one of the TD rules yet?).

[Riverbrian]

You'd think some of the squared up balls would find a glove by accident.

 

at least!

Strange, how it suddenly feels a lot warmer....
