Trevor Plouffe deserves all the awesome points today.
One media member asked Trevor Plouffe, "obviously it's always special to play the Yankees, how do you look at this series?" (1/2)
Plouffe: "You guys always say that. For us it's not that way. For us the Yankees are just another team that we're trying to beat." (2/2)

Yay! Roy Smalley is in the booth.
SAAAAAAANOOOOOOOONONONONONONONONO
He's good
I think someone needs to make a video of one of those calls for Sano.
I love Sano. Another great at bat, only this time he blasts one to dead center.
I just saw the replay. That dude is Strong. We've certainly come a long way from TynyDH.
So, how does Sano's P/AB compare to the league?
Coming into the game, he was at 4.19 P/AB. MLB Avg 3.80
Those quotes make me sad when they eventually trade him.
Also, I would have accepted his answer to be "HAHAHAHAHA!!"
Has Plouffe always been a quote machine? This was from yesterday
Mike Berardino @MikeBerardino
Heard from a reliable source (OK, Trevor Plouffe) that #Rockies are willing to trade Tulo to #MNTwins but they want Plouffe -- straight up.
Hahaha, that's great.
I don't get much in the way of MN media, so I can't really say. His occasional Tweets are always entertaining though.
I don't know, so far it has been pretty special playing the Yankees.
Thanks Kenny Chesney for ruining the turf and allowing that hit.
I like the aggressive base running by Rosario.
I also like all these early runs.
Nodded off while sitting out on the deck, and darned if we didn't find another couple of runs
Pineda channeling his inner Mike Pelfrey and has ground this game to a halt
and now the FSN crew just said the same thing..not the Pelfrey part but the game slowing down part.
Way back in March, if someone would have told me Torii Hunter would have 15 home runs this season, I would have laughed at them.
Wonder how many times Dazz said someone was "lathered up" tonight? Hell, I'm lathered up sitting in my chair. The air is Thick as Thieves.

PLOUFFDA!
Its officially a beatdown.
Keep 'em coming. Can't take 'em with you.
HR trifecta!
plus!
This kind of feels like the night where Danny Santana hits a HR.
Or not.
Just got back from the wife's company picnic at the Storm Chasers game. Normally I enjoy any excuse to go the ballgame, but sheesh the heat index was 112. Nice to come back to a beat down of the Yanks.
Feel free to keep those temps over there please
BULL DOZED
That's what I wanted to see.
Band Box!
Yeah, lets throw a fastball high in the zone to Dozier. That will get him out!
Destroying the Yankees is immensely satisfying.
It's "shut out your former team week" for Twins starters.
Oooooh, Tommy Milone did NOT get that memo.
I blocked that game from my memory.
Wonderful thing, the brain
Fien pitching, of course a run scores
Escobar looks like a kid next to Sano.
The Twins would have to go 20-46 the rest of the way reach 90 losses.
Not impossible, but it really doesn't seem like this team is going to do it.
this is the Twins ... it's not impossible ... let's not get ahead of ourselves.
[get outta my head nibs]
Wow.
Nice pounding.
