    I suspect that Mike Trout of the Angels might have that nailed down.
  2. glunn
    I am glad to hear that. Now we need to get some damn offense going.

    Based on his recent rate, Plouffe could hit more than 60 home runs this year.

    Good article. I wish that Beloit would get back on a winning streak.

    I just read this on the Twins website: "Thome brought his former team's fans to their feet for a standing ovation in the fourth. He provoked the applause after hitting a two-run homer over the batter's eye in center field, an estimated 466-foot shot -- the third-longest in Target Field history. " http://mlb.mlb.com/mlb/gameday/index.jsp?gid=2012_06_13_phimlb_minmlb_1&mode=recap&c_id=min So there was a historic aspect in terms of how far he hit the ball.

    Here is a link to a good article by Aaron Gleeman about how the Twins have now signed 10 of their 1st 11 picks -- everyone but #42 -- Luke Bard -- http://aarongleeman.com/

    Welcome Newbie. Almost everyone here started as a newbie. You will find that we are all brothers-sisters at heart, even though our shared passions may trigger passionate disagreements.

    I think that we all tend to get frustrated when the bad guys score 6 runs in the first inning, and we have different ways of expressing such anger.

    People keep saying that Span reads the ball better, but I was at a game in Anaheim this year where Span took a terrible path to a ball at the wall, barely got to it, then dropped it. It seemed to me at the time that Revere would have easily caught that one. Small sample size, but it made an impression.

    I believe that you are correct my friend. We can only hope that he can find the way back to being effective.

    P.J. Walters (before tonight) -- The "Wall"
  12. glunn
    This is from the Twins OFFICIAL website: "Walters told the training staff he had trouble getting loose before the game and that his shoulder was bothering him." Here is the link: http://minnesota.twins.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20120613&content_id=33247264&notebook_id=33253100&vkey=notebook_min&c_id=min So maybe the training staff failed to inform anyone? If so, then someone needs to be punished for this.

    It appears that he will be having surgery next Tuesday -- here is the link to the story on the Twins' website: http://minnesota.twins.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20120613&content_id=33247264&notebook_id=33247270&vkey=notebook_min&c_id=min Let's hope that the doctor does a great job.

    Try to get tickets near the Twins dugout -- you will have more friends there.

    Now that I think about it, I was at a game in Anaheim where Hunter homered against the Twins. I did not even consider joining the standing ovation. I wished that he had struck out like a dog. But if I was at a game where he hit one against the Sux, I would give the ovation, out of respect for what he did while he was on the Twins. I think that you have hit the nail on the head thrylos. But there is one other fundamental principle in play, which is that Twins fans should root for each other. I rarely get to meet any fellow fans in person, but when they play in Anaheim there is a sacred bond amongst us. So while we might always agree, we must always have each other's backs.
  16. glunn
    I know what you mean. When I go to Angels games I wear a Twins shirt and hat and give standing ovations for Twins' homers and sit silently when the Angels fans stand. I also try to bring someone who is wearing Angels gear and/or who looks like he could be dangerous in a fight. You should have backup in Pittsburgh my friend. An Anaheim, we usually have a decent number of Twins fans, especially near the Twins dugout and (for some strange reason) in a section that faces left field. There are lots of high fives when the Twins do well, and commiseration when they do not.
  17. glunn
    Agreed -- Walters should not have started, and if this aggravated his injury then I am extra pissed.
  18. glunn
    Hammer time!
  19. glunn
    Maybe some Phillies fans started it and the Twins fans were merely being polite?
  20. glunn
    Standing ovation for Perkins!!! I am standing myself even though I am in California. Now let's get 2 runs and win this game.
  21. glunn
    OK Perkins -- strike this fart out.
  22. glunn
    Well said my friend. And it irks me when we squabble among each other. We may disagree, but are united by a common mania.
  23. glunn
    Damnit Perkins -- you needed to catch that.
  24. glunn
    Productive strikeout by Carroll -- now Span needs to keep this going. We need to win this so that Thome's HR does not matter.
  25. glunn
    plouffe!!!
