  1. I'm blocked out of all non-Hawk feeds. I'll keep people posted on the madness.

    1. I gotta be honest, I get a kick out of Hawk Harrelson. The random drivel that comes out of his mouth makes me laugh or do a double take.
      Be, if I had to listen to him every game because he is my hometown announcer, I would go mad.

      1. A funny point to mention is that every time the Sox game is on WCIU(independent, over-the-air station) they make him use Ken instead of Hawk.

        I never know why. I just find this funny.

      2. Listening to Southside squawkers also - you're right, kind of a slurry of monotone ramble.

    1. I guess the Sox were giving the first 15k fans a Paul Konerko Black Eye sticker/patch

      1. The first 50 Twins fans to walk through the gates also get black eyes.

  4. Dicks says Dunn's 2011 was one of the worst seasons in MLB history. Now, it was really bad overall, but in terms of offense, it trails Punto's memorable 2007.

      1. For offense, he tied. Being a catcher keeps the overall value from being really terrible.

        1. is that because he's a catcher or because he's a good defensive catcher? If he was Matt LeCroy behind the plate, would it matter?

    2. b-r says Dunn was -26 Rbat, -3 Rbaser, -1 Rdp, for -30 offensive RAA. Punto's worst offensive was -32 Rbat, -0 Rbaser, +2 Rdp, for -30 offensive RAA in 2007. Looks like its a wash.

  6. Cole Devries looks like he should be a citizen of the WGOM not a member of the Twins.

    2. DeVries looks a lot like the way I used to picture Carl, the smartest pitcher in baseball.

      1. I have no idea what you guys are talking about. Zero errors in this game, so obviously the defense has been stellar.

  11. Dustin Morse ‏@Twins_morsecode
    Joe Mauer has now reached base in 8 of his last 10 plate appearances (6 in a row) & has gone 7-for-his-last-9. #Twins

    he still stinks because he doesnt hit HRs.

  12. I saw a commercial for Leinenkugel Summer Shandy. At the golf course I work at, the clubhouse cant keep that stuff in stock.

      1. the other 2 guys I work with have tried it and dont understand the appeal of the brew.

  13. making fish tacos (not a euphemism), carnitas nachos, guacamole, and i just cracked open a "cheap" barleywine. hopefully the first three will be half as amazing as the last one.

    1. damn you. Damn you to hell.

      What kind of fish? How prepared? And did you make the guacamole and the carnitas?

      This LTE is inadequate. Go back and revise!!!

      1. haha, tilapia (i'm not a fish-savvy, so hopefully this i won't screw this up), yes, no.

        1. pan-fry, breaded or no?

          tilapia is a perfectly pleasant, mild non-oily fish. Should be/have been tasty in tacos. Shredded cabbage or lettuce?

          Damn, I am getting hungry. Must be time to go home.

        2. Mahi-mahi my favorite pescal actor in that play. Red cabbage sliced thinly, and Power Dressing (Jalapeño Ranch Style) from Whole Foods a kick-ass addition.

            2. I've gotten the frozen stuff and found it to be OK. But probably still more clicks than tilapia.

              1. can you even get "fresh" mahi-mahi outside of Hawaii and tropical locations? (as opposed to frozen/thawed)

                1. Good question. When I get fish tacos at restaurants in Thousand Oaks, Cali you think that is flash frozen?

      2. Damn you. Damn you to hell!

        What kind of barleywine?

        This LTE is inadequate. Go back and revise!!!

    2. We did chicken tacos tonight, black beans and Spanish rice with a Honey Weiss.

      1. Kielbasa, kale braised w/ Pam, and orzo salad w/ artichokes & sun-dried tomatoes.

  17. "A DOUBLE for...Span" after Dazz tells me that Rios bounced that off his glove. Mmm, defense.

  20. Got home from work to a lead. Very nice. And now they're walking the bases loaded for Willingham? Seriously?

  29. I am ready to declare this season a success if the Twins can beat the ChiSox like a drum all year, even if they still lose 100+ games.

      1. Yes, but pointing-and-laughing would still be in order, particularly if the Sox failed to make the playoffs because of their record against the Twins.

    1. I've got Twins, O's and NBA basketball all going in my apartment right now. Life is good.

    1. httpv://youtu.be/ENQNkwWCvTQ

      'everythings better when the cameras are spinning'

    2. I would welcome Glee right now. My wife is watching something called Giuliana and Bill. I was unaware reality tv coud both be more annoying and more scripted.

  46. Astros just took the lead on the Cubs. If these scores hold up, the Cubs would surpass the Twins with the worst record in baseball.

      1. Padres also losing, so the Twins could be in a virtual tie for 28 (although Padres would be percentage points ahead).

      1. ah yes.
        still impressive.

        This is the longest start for a Twins pitcher this year. yikes.

  55. With this kind of pitching how is Rochester in last place in their division?

          1. Two good relievers aren't going to be able to pitch many innings unfortunately.

  58. good thing Konerko was trying to run to first. Just about anyone else and its abase hit.

  61. Mark my words, the Minnesota Twins are going to win the AL Central.

  66. The Twins have clinched their first winning road trip. I don't think they've had a winning homestand yet.
