I was searching through the channel's for the game going: "What time do the Twins lose today?"

 

Not a good sign.

[Halsey Hall]

Two things need to happen, decent starting pitching, and scoring some runs. Without both, we could hit double digits in this lossing string. This road trip is going to tell alot about the future for some of these guys.

 

Posted that on the 19th. And now we're at 10. When will it end?

I expect the streak to end against the Brewers, but Gomez will win one game late and Braun another.

[Danchat]

I can't see P. J. defeating the Tigers today. The bats will have to be on fire if we want to win.

I'm actually excited to see Colabello-Parmelee-Ramirez bat. I hope one of them does something great.

Spin that statement 180 degrees and that's how I feel about seeing Colabello-Parmelee-Ramirez in the lineup.

[Danchat]

Yeah! Mauer HR!

We're actually winning!

[Top Gun]

Rangers claimed OF Joe Benson off waivers from the Twins

[GCTF]

This bodes well as the Twins have won all previous games in which Mauer homered on a day game following a night game against a right handed pitcher that had at one time played for the Mariners while the sun was shining.

[buckninetyone]

not sure if you can say the twins have the lead until they're at least up by ten.

[Riverbrian]

3-0... C'mon Correia... Relax and Spot your pitches.

[Top Gun]

Danny Valencia launched a two-run homer and drew a walk in Saturday's win over the Blue Jays.

 

Valencia, who was called up from the minors last week, has now homered in back-to-back games.

[Riverbrian]

3-0... C'mon Correia... Relax and Spot your pitches.

 

Oops... I mean... c'mon Walters... Relax and spot your pitches.

The Orioles can have him... Valencia and Delmon Young were the only two Twins from the past decade that I never want to see again.

[Riverbrian]

Good First inning for PJ.

Did you find that on Baseball-Reference or on Fangraphs?

[GCTF]

A player who used to play for the Twins did something of note for the team he nows plays for against a team that isn't the Twins.

Gun is alright. He's kind enough to share some information when he runs across it. If everyone in the world was like that. We would all know what Winona Ryder looks like naked.

A little lumpy.

[Riverbrian]

A little lumpy.

 

Of course we'd also know what Glunn looks like naked and we don't want that.

[Gibby]

A little lumpy.

 

No...That's Wynona Judd.

[Gibby]

Soon as I start watching, Detroit catches fire.

[GCTF]

Looks like the Peej has worked himself into a wee bit o' trouble.

[Gibby]

Smally feels like a genius now.

[Riverbrian]

Soon as I start watching, Detroit catches fire.

 

No Fire at all.

[Reginald Maudling's Shin]

I wonder what PJ was jawing about as he left the mound?

[Gibby]

Probably himself.

[Riverbrian]

Perfect slide by Willingham... The team needs to execute slides like that... He does and the ump blows it.

[glunn]

Good First inning for PJ.

 

"The Wall"!
