Reddog drives a hit
past Callaspo for the second hit for the Twins
and the Busch is up with his mighty RBI bat!

Buscher lines a hit
off the glove off Duckworth. That ball was hit HARD! He wasnt going to miss a changeup twice in a row….

Punto taps one to second
and his only play is to first to get Punto….one out

Gomez lines a base hit
and Reddog scores! GOMEZ!!!! 44 RBI for the young man! and of course he could pick up his 32 SB now too!

Gomez delivers
Now the Span-man

Gomez is picked off
but he slid in safely but he is called out.
by 33MorneauMVP on Sep 11, 2008 1:44 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
it was a blown call by the umpire
the umpire just decided to call him out even though he wasnt tagged when he tried to get back to the base when he overslid it
by 33MorneauMVP on Sep 11, 2008 2:02 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Umpire giving a few inches
on the outside corner to lefties today, no question. All 3 Ks (Morneau, Kubel, Span) have been out there.

Liriano not sharp?
I’m “watching” on Yahoo GameChannel and it looks like they’ve hit the ball hard off of him.
by Alexi Casilla All-Star on Sep 11, 2008 1:50 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
Now Aviles with a triple
Definitely not vintage Liriano so far.

bad play by Span
he tried to make it flashy and ended up misplaying it. Tried to make an overthehead catch and fell down….instead of just playing it off the wall.

Shealy Ks
German flies out to Span

Okay, the big bats are up lets put some runs on the board.
Lirano looks good.

Another quick inning for Liriano
I’m liking this…I’d like it more if some runs are scored

Morneau grounds a hit to CF
Mauer pulls up a second…

Yes, now it starts...
For pity sakes, this is Brandon “Ducky” Duckworth we are facing. Lets get some runs.

I need...
A little less “yes..”
And a little more “no.”

Hey, longhorn twin
Could you send me a Shiner bock?? I miss those.

Got it.... now we are facing "older than dirt" Mahay...
Runs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
by Beerbear on Sep 11, 2008 2:38 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
Dazzle just said Mauer runs well
Which normally, I agree with… but this is the time of year where Joe will really start to feel those innings behind the plate. We were at the game, and when he grounded out last night, he wasn’t pushing it any harder than he had to. Had a little hitch in his giddy up.

Mahay K
If that wasn’t so fun to say I’d be mad.

Redmond and Buscher
Need a hit or two from those guys.
by Alexi Casilla All-Star on Sep 11, 2008 2:42 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
And we shoot ourselves in the foot again. geez...
Okay, Fransico… it is up to you.

Teahan pops up...

Looks like he should be good to go 8
Now lets get some runs.

Runs!!!!!

who in the world is this Harris?
and he grounds out to 2B.
by 33MorneauMVP on Sep 11, 2008 2:50 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
I can dig the left vs. right thing...
But Buscher was 1-1 with two walks.. he’s obviously seeing the ball well today.
by Neil on Sep 11, 2008 2:52 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
Roy Smalley says
that Gomez should work on using the whole field. Good point—how many gappers to Right Center has he hit? It would be an automatic triple every time, but I recall only one or two.
by Alexi Casilla All-Star on Sep 11, 2008 2:54 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
Time for a big hit
from Mr. Excitement.
by Alexi Casilla All-Star on Sep 11, 2008 2:55 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
Send Punto?
Versus the strong armed Olivo with a lefty throwing? Actually, I think not.

Now we are facing the japanese wonderkind Bale...
We really have to get a hit off of him.

Casilla pops up in foul territory...
send Liriano out!

Lexi was golden in these situations
Right after his recall. Lately, not so much.

routine fly ball and German dropped it...
Mauer at second!

Morneau grounds back to Bale

Kubel grounds out to Callaspo
we REALLY need a big hit here Redmond!!!!!
by 33MorneauMVP on Sep 11, 2008 3:09 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
fucking Twins why cant you at least get Mauer to third and then score him with a sac fly?
by 33MorneauMVP on Sep 11, 2008 3:10 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
Can't do it every single time. We've still got chances.
Here comes NATHAN!

yeah I know but Liriano wont get credit for his brilliant pitching performance
by means of a win……..

Three innings in a row... we have shot ourselves in the f...... foot. crap...

Way to go Joe....
Now, I want a walkoff run… I am not picky any run will do.
by Beerbear on Sep 11, 2008 3:19 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
four innings in a row... sometimes we look worse than a tball team.
come on Nathan we need one more 1-2-3 inning.

Except T-ball teams score runs…

Reyes... do we have anyone else in the bullpen...what about Hummer?
by Beerbear on Sep 11, 2008 3:37 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
Great.
Now we get their one good pitcher, Soria.
by Neil on Sep 11, 2008 3:37 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
That didn't last long... DR must be our designated run man.
and now Crain…. don’t we have anyone else. where is the Kman?
by Beerbear on Sep 11, 2008 3:38 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
This isn't a negative comment, it's just observational...
But if the Twins can’t win games like this, they really don’t deserve to be in the playoffs.
by Neil on Sep 11, 2008 3:41 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
Reyes
He really has been pretty good against lefties. When he fails, though, it is out there in front of everybody.
by Alexi Casilla All-Star on Sep 11, 2008 3:47 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
Oh Yeah
Soria is good.
by Alexi Casilla All-Star on Sep 11, 2008 3:48 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Casilla
All right, let’s not make it 0-5…. please?
by Zathras on Sep 11, 2008 3:48 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
Thats the game folks...
Our offense was bad but our bullpen was worse. This is like a broken record but when you run the same pitchers out there game after game this crap is going to happen. We aren’t a playoff caliber team yet. It was good to see Nathan back in good form. Lets go stomp some birdies….
by Beerbear on Sep 11, 2008 3:55 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
Guerrier, Crain
How many games is Gardy gonna let them blow. At some point don’t you just say what the hell and try somebody else. Cant hurt to give Korecky or Humber a shot in a situation like the 10th inning. I hope Neshek is healthy next season
by .mnqwerd on Sep 11, 2008 3:57 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
Well even playoff teams can't sweep terrible teams all the time
At least we took 2 out of 3. Let’s win the next one and the one after that and keep hoping.
