Joe Mauer and the Exposed-to-the-Elements 2010 MINNESOTA TWINS

Damn, Hardy was out by ten miles! Why send him?

yeah bad call sending him at the end there, but the twins have a pretty fantastic hitting lineup, think they'll do pretty well this season

new stadium is p. generic but i'm sure it's a nice place to see a game.

prospects

waht

damn, if Liriano pitches the whole year maybe they'll run away w/ the Central

i am high on Liriano this year, though i think i forgot to make a predictions post and it's too late now.

still i'm not 100% sold just because of this performance. remember, it was the Red Sox on Jackie Robinson Day.

Scott Baker trying to blow lead

Pitching to the score

reports from peeps seem to indicate that new stadium is a pretty fantastic deal

lol R Sutcliffe thinks Johnny Damon may go to the HOF

I dunno, need another angle on Span there I think.

Hall of Mane morelike! (because of his notoriously long hair that he was forced to cut upon joining the Yankees)

damon has an outside chance at 3000 hits i guess, if that's still a free ticket in

xp lol jordan

So, 21 games in and only 3 errors - .996 pct

amazing

And 5th in the league in pitching

The Tigers held Joe Mauer to 1-for-11 this series, including a three-pitch strikeout by Joel Zumaya in a pinch-hit appearance Thursday. Asked about those numbers, Leyland said, "That will never happen again."

Cuddyer almost got a 9-3 last night. Maggs hit a solid single and flinched at the throw that came into first, which he beat by a step. Maggs threw up his arms, glared at Cuddyer, and it looked like he said something like "What the fuhh?" Hilarious.

M Guerrier relieved B Duensing. 4 3
A Rodriguez homered to left, F Cervelli, D Jeter and M Teixeira scored. 4 7

Prior to this at-bat, Rodriguez was 4-for-6 off Guerrier with three HRs. Good move, Gardy.

"My opinion of him tweeting that he was misdiagnosed? Was not very happy with him... I talked to him. We got it all straightened out. Our doctors are here to help you and get you better, and they put in a lot effort and their time to do that, and they don’t deserve to be thrown underneath any kind of bus. If you have something to say, you should say it to me or to the doctors and not on Tweeter."

—Twins manager Ron Gardenhire on Pat Neshek's Twittering.

Any kind of bus? Does that include the Double Dutch Bus?

this squirrel video is classic plus it ruined A-Rod's a bat, win-win.

why it says Tampa Bay is beyond me because it's a game between the Yankees and Twins.

THE PAVANO: 6-6, 3.92 ERA

span has 3 triples tonight

Jim Thome is the man

Mauer's homer yesterday was his first of the season at Target Field! I'm finding out only now that the Twins have hit two-thirds of their homers on the road this year.

watching the det/min game on MLBTV and they have the local MN sideline/audience reporter on... let's just say she's a beast. :[

maybe im shallow

I think you are a bit shallow. She looks like a mom in a preimtime sitcom. I'd prefer her to Alanna Rizzo.

Expected them to win the division, but not so decisively.

white sox totally crumbled in the post-manny era

wait, I guess not post-manny. the manny era.

.255/.431/.309, one HR, one RBI through 19 games -- little did the Sox know that they would be re-acquiring an immobile Scott Podsednik.

eh the white sox's success in July seemed pretty unreal anyways, given the makeup of the team. I didn't have many expectations for them beyond losing in the first round of the playoffs, so congrats to the twins, who might actually do something.

I just feel bad for Konerko, who had a great season to no purpose. I guess I should be posting about this on White Sox thread though.

not ambiguous at all tbh

also, i know it's the last wk of the season, but their pitching staff is getting no 1 out

that's a dick

c'mon Twinks, take a big crap on that big Steinbush plaque.

Yanks vs Twins AGAIN makes me very nervous ...

so what happened to morneau that gave him this super concussion?

Johnny Mac.

http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=5796135

"Right-center to left-center is ridiculous," Morneau said in an e-mail to the Minneapolis Star Tribune. "(It's) almost impossible for a right-handed hitter to (homer to the) opposite field and very difficult for lefties. It affects the hitters a lot, and you start to develop bad habits as a hitter when you feel like you can only pull the ball to hit it over the fence. You take those habits on the road."

Morneau said he hoped his comments didn't sound selfish and was more concerned with his team's success. He also said he's still not 100 percent recovered from a concussion that kept him out of the final three months of the season, but is feeling better.
