Glad to see that Gardy is really shaking things up....!?

Time to start building some confidence with the guys who are going to have to get us there. Like it or not these are the guys who are going to have to get it done for the most part.

[Patrick]

I agree. They have to turn it around at some point... the quicker the better.

[Kirby_waved_at_me]

It's going to be a cold one out there tonight. Hoping for a end to this losing streak!

[Dougmancaveitch]

Going against Weaver tonight, finished 2nd in the Cy Young voting last year. Gunna be tough to get the bats going.

[John Bonnes]

I was hoping we would see the Opening Day lineup again tonight. It'll be interesting to see if, aftr 3 days of not playing catcher, Gardy has Mauer catch tomorrow, too.

[Intramural Legend]

It would be nice to get Pamelee going. It'll be interesting to see what kind of patience the Twins have with him if he doesn't start hitting (or at least have better at bats)

[Jerr]

Maybe a win vs. a good pitcher, after their day off will spark these guys! I will not hold my breath, as this team just has no fire in their bellies. Need someone to dump the dinner table and shake this team up!

[Nick Nelson]

Quality lead-off AB from Span, even if ball four looked like a strike.

[nchillsdale]

Mauer takes strike one looking then GIDP.

 

Typical.

[Patrick]

Mauer GIDP. What a surprise!

[Intramural Legend]

Bring up Brunansky!

[VATwinsFan]

Doumit's strikeout brings the team batting average down to .159.

Is it me, or is Bert kissing a** more than ever this year...

[VATwinsFan]

Bring up Brunansky!

To coach or to hit?

[JB_Iowa]

Is it me, or is Bert kissing a** more than ever this year...

I don't know but you'll only have to hear him in 2/3 of the games. Think he is only doing 101 of the 151.

[Intramural Legend]

To coach or to hit?

Does it matter at this point?

[Intramural Legend]

Well, now that Pavano put us in a massive hole, can our offense bail him out?

[JB_Iowa]

Hard to believe it but they can score before the 8th inning.

[stringer bell]

For the first time all season the Twins score to knot it up. That is they score a run that ties the game.

[Patrick]

WillingHAMMER

[stringer bell]

Wow! Their first lead! And the Twins exceed two runs for the first time.

[Nicholas Mueller]

Yay!! Hopefully Caps doesn't blow a save today, assuming there is an opportunity for one.

[Intramural Legend]

That's the Twins team we know and love!

[Nicholas Mueller]

And an inside the park HR by the Angels and its 4-3.

[OrangeDisk]

Am I the only one who has to look twice when Doumit is hitting? With his helmet on, he looks like Kubel.

[mikeee]

7 hits.. wow.

[mikeee]

Am I the only one who has to look twice when Doumit is hitting? With his helmet on, he looks like Kubel.

I thought that too!

[Neinstein]

nice Trip. Parm!
