[Parfigliano]

Nice SWR

[RickOShea]

Is it just me, or is Gallo a really big guy?

[Robert Floren]

My goodness, the Twins have 3 hits through 5.  About on par with recent games.

[Parfigliano]

Rally

[RickOShea]

Is gallo going to be the Twins Player of the month?

And being on the I.L.  Would make it even Funnier

[RickOShea]

Damn, the Nats are just slapping at the pitch, No muscles going to be pulled during their swings.

[mrtwinsfan]

Looking at the schedule  b4 the season  i thought that  april  would be the Toughest,  And it wasent in part to playing  teams like washington,   

[RickOShea]

Miranda's frustrating to watch.  Just when you're ready to pull the hammer back, he gets a hit.

[h2oface]

Well, are we making guys with monster ERAs coming into the game look like Cy Youngs again?

[RickOShea]

Was that Taylo'r imitation of Kit, from Leauge of our Own?

[OvertheHill]

Well there went 3 consecutive awful ABs.

perfect. Moved both runners up. Something Baldelli seems to not know how to call.

Smells like victory.

So that explains the cherry blossoms.

[RickOShea]

It's a shame to pee away the season, and we're not even into May.  a lot of time left, but are we just fooling ourselves?

[Vanimal46]

8-10 vs all teams not named Kansas City Royals. 

[mrtwinsfan]

Good  Grief,     LATER FOLKS

[RickOShea]

The twins are so pathetic, the priest here in Arizona asks the congregation to pray for them.

[jkcarew]

What I take away from that half-inning...

 

The sac bunt probably cost them a run.

:)

[UpstateNewYorker]

Hopefully SWR's off-speed stuff will eventually be good enough to offset his fastball, which today is only touching 92.

[OvertheHill]

I fear the mediocrity of the AL Central will trick people into thinking this is a serious team. I really hope I’m wrong; I’m a diehard fan but this just looks like a very slow developing train wreck.

But you don't get on ESPN or or a cool nick name like Bomba Squad swinging that way.

We went from the Bomba Squad to the Bumba Squad in just a few short years 

[h2oface]

Lopez anointed as the future after 4 games. There you go. The players tell us they know they are better, but the record shows different.

Unless Cleveland runs away with it, expect a repeat of last year. It’s a bad division, that’s the only saving grace

I think the Bomba Squad thing ruined this franchise for multiple years. Problem is there’s a whole generation of baseball players now who believe that’s the way to play the game.

Kepler's hustle a little to be desired.

He's running like he has a sore leg.

[RickOShea]

Even if Kepler goes no farther than third, a hard run to third, maybe cause a poor throw. As it is, we play into the other team's hand.
