My current emotional state
Reposted from the previous game thread, because it is still applicable.
I’m so excited! I’m so excited! I’m so… scared!

Actually...
the twins have the third fewest GIDPs on the season, only the Red Sox and Phillies have fewer.
Oops, ignore that stupid post
That’s a pitching stat, we’ve induced the third fewest GIDPs.
Putting some good swings on the ball...
Gotta think those will start dropping in at some point…
"I'm gonna make you cry...I'm gonna make you cry and dip my cookie in your tears!!!"
true.
but it would be nice if we could make Porcello work a little and get into the bullpen early. Especially in a double header.
Blackburn looks like he is going to struggle and get our bullpen up…

Thos are really close pitches
I think the ump is giving up in the sinker inside and it actually breaks over the corner

Randy Marsh...
Is a poor Balls and Strikes ump.
Look out for Angel Hernandez on THU too…he’s terrible. Other 2 guys are OK.

OK only 1 down
Early in the game, just need to gets some hits off Porcello and for Blackie to get a grip.

Hopefully my boss doesn’t find out I did it to watch a gamecast version of the game and post on a message board.

looked it up...
I was expecting perhaps something manly… but no…
Of Teutonic origin, “Aubrey” means “Fair Ruler of the Little People”, or “King of the Elves”
Originally a boys name… stolen in the US as a girls name of late
ahaha
King of the Elves?
I thought that was Harris…

Game 2 lineup
Kubel back-to-back in the OF. Surprised he didn’t DH first game so Mauer could do it second.

I once read on Wikipedia
That Delmon’s nickname was Third Out Delmon. I vote we call him Tod from now on.

I remember when The Twins played the Indians in August at one point
The Twins had a pretty big inning, Delmon was the first out of the inning. The Twins batted around then he batted in a double play, truly becoming Three outs Delmon.

And you know he’s really called that, because once I read on Wikipedia that Tony Blair’s middle name was “Whoop-De-Doo.”

This would be a good time for the Twins to put up a 10-spot.
