Game Thread: Twins @ Red Sox, 5/9 - 6:10pm

[big dog]

I know we're in Fenway, but the midget has absolutely no reason to complain.

 

I don't think he's going to be invited to the next barn-building. He uses inappropriate language.

[Gibby]

Sit your ass down Pedroia!

 

Why does he get away with arguing balls and strikes?

[Physics Guy]

Boo - yah

[Physics Guy]

Doesn't do him any good to toss him in bottom of ninth, I guess.

[big dog]

The umpires have given Ferrell and the Sox a huge amount of yapping this series.

 

Twins Win! Twins Win! Wait, that's 3 of 4 in Boston and a 5-5 road trip, right?

[ashbury]

Does Perk only throw 2 pitches?

 

He has one or two other, bad, ones in case he wants to go back to starting.

[Top Gun]

No team came play better than the Twins

[mikeee]

Wow, 3 out of 4 off the red hot BoSox...

And looks like KC is going to bump off the other AL east leader..

[Ultima Ratio]

Should be a quick hook, and definitely a hook even if not quick.

[ashbury]

Nice series.

[Reginald Maudling's Shin]

It's fun watching the Red Sox whine like little bitches when they don't get their way.

[Ultima Ratio]

A good change up in that Pedroia AB would have killed it, and much sooner.

[Gibby]

I used to go to games at Fenway all the time, but it's fun watching them get beat there. Same with my kid's teams going to Edina and kicking their asses.

[Ultima Ratio]

Lovin' my Twins. This series win was huge in many ways, but mostly for confidence and back to the good side of .500

[notoriousgod71]

We should have swept this series.

[stringer bell]

I think the Twins were a pretty good barometer of how good the three teams they played on the road trip are. Detroit is very good, Cleveland is pretty good, and the Sawks have been overperforming. Actually, Cleveland and Boston are really good if they stay healthy, but they both have a ton of health risks.

Gun... You gotta become an active regular game thread contributor. You can be the one sentence guy. We need one.

And if Jamie Moyer had a fastball he'd still be pitching.

I don't know what he said, but I like it.

[stringer bell]

Parms in as a defensive replacement. Who among us predicted this, during the off-season?

 

And I don't think it was a bad idea. Arcia has been less than stellar on "D", but you gotta like the way he swings the bat.

[stringer bell]

I wish I knew more Spanish. I'm guessing Arcia is saying "hey, I homered and it's my birthday" and Ramirez is saying something totally different.

[ashbury]

Yah, I forgot about that already. Twins 3, Fien 1.

[Riverbrian]

It was a great idea... Parm has been well above average on D IMO... He has shown range... He plays a wall as well as you can and a solid arm.

 

I think Ashbury and I were saying that we didn't expect that... We were thinking he'd be Doumit like almost.

[Gibby]

I wish I knew more Spanish. I'm guessing Arcia is saying "hey, I homered and it's my birthday" and Ramirez is saying something totally different.

That first question, I think you are right. People speak their native language so freaking fast.

[stringer bell]

Papi and Ellsbury did very little damage to the Twins. Maybe that's why I'm thinking the Sawks aren't THAT good. With that bullpen, I see them fading pretty quick.

[Riverbrian]

Wouldnt you know it... I have a transcript.

 

Marnie: I know the win is the most important thing for you but to add a home run and triple on your birthday... How great is that?

 

Wilken(In Spanish): When Mastro is back... You are taking my job... She is wondering if you feel guilty using me for my translation skills while killing me slowly.

[buckninetyone]

maybe i'm not brushed up on my spanish, but not once did i hear oswaldo say "doritos locos tacos"

I thought I heard something about "jumping your bones" addressed to Marney, but I could be wrong.

Spoiler alert: Don't read this if you're taping the hockey game. Doesn't look good for the Fighting Ws.
