  1. No doubt. Same goes for Torii Hunter getting hits against us.
  2. Put it in the flag poles Herrmann!
  3. Congratulations Colabello on passing my all-time favorite Twins player Kirby Puckett for the most RBI's in the month of April!
  4. I'm guessing Dozier is leading the league in solo home runs? Hopefully he hits a lot more and when runners are on base. Based on his pace, he should easily hit more than last year.
  5. I hear you.. even I am starting to get annoyed with his hitting and I'm as big of fan of him as you'll find.
  6. Torii Hunter is as consistent as they come!
  7. ... Florimon, not so much! Offensively, at least...
  8. ...and likewise with Fuld!
  9. The decision to bring Kubel back is looking like a good one, more and more, every day that goes by.
  10. Gotta agree.. the effort to try and tag third, then the decision to go for the double play. He's looking a lot more comfortable over there this year. He's starting to play to his potential. I like it a lot.
  11. What's your issue with what I said?
  12. Let me guess... they'll bring out Deduno for garbage time when this one is out of reach.
  13. Colabello's error cost the team an extra run, but I guess we can forgive him considering he's an RBI machine.
  14. Florimon is just so smooth at SS.
  15. Was trading away J.J. Hardy defensible?
  16. Florimon is clearly the one starter that is struggling the most at the plate. As long as the Twins are producing runs and are around .500, the team can afford to give Florimon some time to get it together. Based on the aforementioned, the Twins can easily give him until June 1st before making any major moves. The Twins are in second place and one game above .500. Florimon provides invaluable defense in the middle infield along with Dozier. I don't think we need to panic just yet. However, it is a good idea to explore all of our options and make a decision when the time comes.
  17. RBI machines like Colabello and Suzuki seem to be sparking the offense in general. Dare I say it's an exciting time to be a Twins fan again or is it too early? I know it's early in the season, but to be able to go into Tampa bay and win a series means something, even if it's only April. I respect the Rays organization a lot. I've always felt that in order for the Twins to improve over last year, their young guys and new acquisitions needed to step up. So far, these are the guys that have been stepping up. Colabello, Plouffe, Suzuki, Gibson, Kubel, Fuld, etc.. Not only are they producing, but they are creating some excitement that has been missing for a few years. I feel more confident in this team than the last three years. That doesn't automatically mean that they will win more games, but I do believe that they have the bats in the line up to dig themselves out of deeper holes than the last 3 years, which at the very least, means that there should be more exciting games this year. As much as I like Florimon defensively, he's pretty much the only bat in the line up that needs to step it up in a big way. Hicks needs to step up too, but I can't rip him too much because he hit a 3 run home run today and he's still a young guy that needs more MLB at bats.
  18. The only person that decides Aaron Hicks' destiny is Aaron Hicks. Sam Fuld is good defensively and seems to be a better hitter than Mastroianni, so he's a nice compliment to our other out fielders.
  19. A two run RBI single will do.
  20. Hit another one for mamma, Cola!
  21. It looked like Colabello was trying to put the ball on Mars.
  22. Dozier with the Error. Florimon would have had it.
