Assuming the Twins continue winning games at the rate they have in their past 5 games for the next 12 games , they will bring their winning streak to 17 consecutive games. Minnesota then, coupled with every other team losing each of its games other than when they play each other (Detroit wins two of three at home against Cleveland next week), will be playing for sole possession of first place on Tuesday, June 21st, the first day of summer, against the San Francisco Giants. It will be a fitting passing of the guard when the Twins then sweep the defending World Champion Giants, extending their winning streak to 20 games.
What a great first day of summer it will be.
And they say I'm optimistic.
No Span tonight. Having the same type of dizziness issues he had a couple of years back. He's heading to see the Twins doctors tonight. I am a bit concerned about they will (or will not) find out.
🙁
I totally expected Liriano to screw up that double play. Nice job, dude.
You must be thinking of the May 2011 Minnesota Twins, not the June 2011 Minnesota Twins!
Orlando Ballgame with 1999 hits.
How long would Butera have to play to pass him?
To infinity! And beyond!
unbelievably, only 22 more seasons at his current pace
Rivera said a naughty word
Hit(s) would be nice before tomorrow.
As long as they are for the good guys.
The Boy is testing for his (adult) brown belt in Kenpo karate tonight, so I won't be around. I'll have him break a board for the Twins....
HAS ANYBODY BEEN TALKING ABOUT A PERFECT GAME?
nicely done.
C'mon Rene, run into one.
Gross.
Evening, gents.
Welcome to the New Britain Rockcats game log.
¡hola, carne!
I sense an impending offensive explosion (1 run) from our boys this inning...
You are one optimistic dude.
Alas it was not to be.
I am the opposite of a mentalist.
Hmm, I feel surprised Liriano was taken out of this one.
Out after 80 pitches? I assume due to his injury - hopefully it's just being cautious rather than responding to a recurrence.
I haven't even had a chance to watch Gameday when Chuck James has been pitching.
Look at they guy's mugshot. He's so happy to be back in the bigs, retiring everyone he faces.
Except the ones he walks. Out of the kindness of his heart of course.
Walks don't count in batting average. Chuck James scoffs at your newfound statistics such as "Plate Appearances." Chuck James only cares about At-Bats.
That, and sometimes Blue's just wrong.
I'm here now, let the run-scoring begin! (Cleveland excepted)
hmmmmmm
Your results are the same as mine. Dang.
I'll come in again.

I have a sneaking suspicion the Twins will score zero runs this inning.
Beau's a mentalist!
32 LTEs in 2 hours on a tuesday? looks like we're drifting along with the tumbling tumbleweeds.
I'm here, but packing again. Argh.
Just got back from rugby. I gotta say I'm less unconfident about over coming 1-0 than I was about 2 weeks ago.
These 6:00 start times are tough for me since I didn't get home until about 6:15 today, then had to make dinner. So I blame that.
THE TWINS ARE GOING TO
WINGET AT LEAST ONE MORE HIT IN THIS BALLGAME.there you go
Finally! Someone sets the prediction bar low enough.
6 of 9 Yankees lead the All-Star voting. Why do fans get to vote again?
I remember one year I voted for Cano but no other Yankees; I gave serious consideration to who deserved to be there. He was one of three Yankees not to start. It's pointless. I don't think I've bothered to vote since.
I would prefer Seven of Nine, I think.
Dumatrait looks like the guy who cleans up roadkill for the county. Pitches like him, too.
Tolbert, Revere, Casilla coming up in the bottom of the 9th, eh? Well... here's hoping.
Fortunately, it actually appears to be Butera, Tolbert, Revere.....I has a sad.Garr, Gameday defeated me.
Here & gone again...softball tonight. How's about a big 9th!
Chris Perez needs to cut his hair. I hope the Twins smack him around. I think they need about 15 runs here to be Capps proof.
Cuddyer has to be restrained - like with a muzzle?
I wouldn't be surprised if he used the magic word.
Cruciatus?
_elmon'_
Strikeout looking on a ball low and outside.
Twins baseball.
I just tuned in on the radio. Was Cuddy as upset as Atterbery made him sound?
yeah, I've never seen him that animated. FoxTrack put the ball on the black.
i think the outburst was more due to his own frustration rather than the actual pitch though.
PitchFX says he had a right to be upset. But he probably shouldn't have offered at the second pitch.
yeah, most likely. it was close enough where i blame cuddy more than the ump.
Yes.
He looked pretty intimidating there with his face in the ump's face and his bat in his hand.
It could've gone Offerman but Cuddy came back to his senses pretty quickly.
His initial reaction to the call was pretty boisterous, but he got himself under control quick enough.
The Streak is over. Let's end this new streak tomorrow.
The Twins might not be in first place until the end of the month at this rate.
CT, at least you have the Heat to root against tonight.
Morning game alert tomorrow. 11am.
Holy smokes.
Thanks. 9 am here on the left coast. Hopefully a win will get my day off to a good start.
Wake 'n' base! I love that. Well, I love it when the Twins win.

Softball tonight, but it looks like I didn't miss anything...
