Is this three game threads in a row for buck?

[Top Gun]

Francisco Liriano made his season debut Saturday against the Mets and allowed one run in 5 1/3 innings as part of a 11-2 victory.

[Top Gun]

Josh Willingham is out of the Twins' lineup Saturday due to wrist soreness.

 

Willingham is considered day-to-day. The 34-year-old outfielder has five homers and 15 RBI in 29 games. Aaron Hicks (elbow) is also sitting Saturday vs. the Orioles.

Thanks for the info.

 

I am still glad we unloaded him last year.

[IdahoPilgrim]

One batter in, and Worley is looking sharp.

There goes Worley's no-hitter.

[IdahoPilgrim]

And there goes the shutout. **sigh**

[VATwinsFan]

I see yet another team is using Worley for batting practice.

At least this is included in the price of the ticket - no extra charge necessary.

[IdahoPilgrim]

Good job for Arcia, throwing to the correct base - if only he had done that earlier in the inning.

[glunn]

Not a great start tonight. Shades of last year.

"Power hitters like Mauer and Morneau are often called horses."

[Danchat]

Arica, apparently, is a pony.

[buckninetyone]

lots of rosin also left doc gooden's hand after a pitch

[buckninetyone]

Is this three game threads in a row for buck?

 

fell off the wagon

[IdahoPilgrim]

With Gooden I don't think that powder was rosin, was it...?

[notoriousgod71]

Parmelee a 1.

[buckninetyone]

with gooden i don't think that powder was rosin, was it...?

 

it was rosin stop messing with my childhood memories

[Reginald Maudling's Shin]

Nice BP fastball on 2-2. This is why you occasionally need to be able to strike someone out.

[IdahoPilgrim]

76 pitches through 4 - this is not what Gardy wanted tonight.

[IdahoPilgrim]

Okay! New ballgame!

[snepp]

That looked like a pretty decent pitch Dozierzie hit.

[buckninetyone]

weee! knicks keeping it close and also twins tie

[GCTF]

That looked like a pretty decent pitch Dozierzie hit.

 

When you drop the barrel of the bat, it doesn't matter what they throw.

[buckninetyone]

yes! knicks are ahead! twins too! and i'm drunk! trifecta!

[GCTF]

Morneau slapsingled a couple more in.

[mikeee]

great inning!!
