90 thoughts on “2012 Game 30: Angels at Twins”

1. Twins haven't won consecutive games since April 11-12 at Target Field against the Angels. Both games were won by Gray. So, a reliever has as many consecutive victories as the Twins do this season.

2. I didn't get a chance to mention it in last night's gamelog, but the radio guys made it sound like Dozier did a really nice job on defense. Dazzle was a little giddy about him, even. No errors and lots of outs on balls that it sounded like he covered a lot of ground to get to, but again, that's just what the radio guys said. For the people who actually watched- was Dozier really playing that well?

   1. I thought he did

   2. He has a good arm. Range-wise seems acceptable, but unlike Dick, I need more than two days to judge that.

3. Oh boy, now Bert is offering advice on Pujols.

4. Valencia changed his walk up music. its now 'Sweet Child O Mine'

   1. He wants me to hate him, doesn't he?

5. Aybar should be out for leaving the batters box

   1. Bert, I think, said "You can't tell me the 3rd base umpire couldn't see that!"

      Well I can believe it.

   2. And of course he ends up scoring.

   3. and naturally, he scores

      1. Who's positive this run will be the difference in the game? Besides me I mean.

         1. I'm positive it will be one of the differences.

6. Ahh, there's that 2012 Twins baseball I remember.

7. bout time a Twins player plunked someone

8. what a joke

9. When it rains it freaking pours.

10. THINLGABB

11. So Aybar reaches on a bunt where he was running out of the batters box and a duck fart after his bat broke? Sigh. This team is so aggravating.

12. I think the Angels are most second most hated team behind the Yankees. Aybar, Bourjos, Callaspo they have all these players I cant stand. Before that it was Pervical and Salmon and John Lackey.

    1. I'm right there with you. Cannot stand these guys.

       1. I forgot about Mike Scoscia and the Rally Monkey

          1. I think Torii provides a lot of hatred fuel for me too.

             1. Hatred fuel, heh.

                1. Guess I forgot how to do the video paste since I was up in the PlayHouse.

13. Were you guys aware that Dick is going to be a member of the grounds crew tomorrow?!

14. Pavano has given up 10 hits already huh?

    He's pretty much toast.

15. Exit, stage left for 'Stache.

16. So Butters doesn't magically make all the starters better?

    1. He does make opposing starters better. Does that count?

17. Pitch counts for Pavano's last four games: 110, 83, 69, and now 62. Trending worse.

    1. Pavano to the Natinals for Drew Storen? I'd make that deal.

       1. Pavano and Valencia for Ryan Zimmerman

          1. I'd be fine with this trade as well.

             1. [sound of crickets in DC]

18. Pooh-hole.

19. DDDoumit

20. Would it kill them to find someone for the lottery circle who didn't sound like an absolute yokel?

    "They're good kids. They like to do lots of things. . . . They're good kids."

    1. We look for things. Things to make us go. Things to make us strong. Can you help us?

    2. She was just totally awestruck by meeting Robbie.

21. Dou-tre!

22. w00t! Not shut out!

23. Trader Klete drew 0 walks while he was with the Twins. Komatsu has 2

24. how was than an out?

    1. just barely on the bag

25. Atteberry pulls a Gordo there - maybe they completely hosed it!!1110!11... Oh, I guess not - he's out.

26. This team is no fun to watch at all.

27. Wait, is Dick working with the grounds crew tomorrow?

    1. I groom/chalk the lines/all that jazz a softball field most everyday. Where is my camera crew to follow me around?

       1. If you write to Dick n Bert I'm sure they'll accommodate you because nobody's watching.

28. Twins smash a ball that deflects off a fielder? Out, of course.

    Angels smash a ball that deflects off a fielder? A run scores.

    This team, I swear to glob.

29. Did anyone hear some fan yelling after Valencia missed that throw? I couldnt make all of it out, but it was something like 'Im sick of all this crap ....'

30. Alright that's enough of this horseshit for tonight.

31. WILLINGHAMMER

32. another rally killing home run.

33. Well, back from the power outage here in the valley (during the biggest dust storm in my time here...wow. Just about tore one of our trees in the front from the ground).

    ...what did I miss...?

    1. Do you have an inhaler?

       1. Yes, though I only have attacks two or three times a year. Is it time?

          1. Yeah - if your skin burns afterwards blow it with a hot hairdryer. That pushes out the histamines. Fact.

    2. If you're looking for entertainment I'd stick with the dust.

    3. and watch out for the valley fever. Tis a bitch.

       1. I thought I had it in my second month here. I was tired for around a month straight. Just awful. Turns out I was just really thirsty.

          1. dude, no joke. After living in Abq I began to drink a lot more water through the day, and I took up a daily moisturizer regiment. The locals looked beaten to shit in their early 30s.

             1. that's just the peyote talkin' for them.

                1. well, that too.

34. 0 for 24 doesn't show the whole picture. That means Daz has been there himself.

35. Oh, THIS crap again. Well, at least: 1) Torii is hitless, 2) we haven't walked anyone, 3) I'm out of other positives here...

    1. a Twins player hit a HR at Target Field?

       1. he won't be a Twins player much longer. . .

          1. Willingham for Halladay and Hamels?

36. This game is BS. I can't believe after teaching for 3 hours, this is what I come home to.

    1. you don't have to recap this shit.

       1. I think the last word of your reply makes a pretty good recap.

37. See ya later Santana. Time to get the big boy bats out.

38. Rally time.

    1. What's a natural predator for monkeys? We need a rally whatever-that-is.

       1. Humans. Rally humans.

          1. That's all kinds of wrong.

             How about a rally Cloverfield monster?

             1. Butera has two hits, so you might as well release the Kraken.

          2. A hunting pair perhaps?

39. Hit the showers, Sosha!

40. he gawn

41. Somewhere AMR is smiling.

42. Dammit, Doumit. That wasn't even a Cuzzi strike.

43. this is going to be awesome when the Twins win this game

44. What's Capps' mailing address?
    

    1. 1 Twins Way
       Minneapolis MN

45. No donuts for anyone.

    1. Marge: Donut? What's a donut?
       Homer: Aah! Aah!
       Marge: Hmm. It's raining again.

46. So, I take it we'll just have to settle for 140-22!
