The Twins continue to deliver a Gabriel like message to the Angels of Los Angeles: Thou shall get your ass kicked by those feisty Gemini of the north. Erv Santana on the mound looking for his 2nd win of the season. Late start but unless your interests lie in watching Argentina drop 5 goals on Boliva, not much else on tonight.
That's practically a rallying cry.
Joe Mauer has reached base in 26 consecutive games.
the last 25 games (110 PA) he slashed :.295 /.382 /.484 /.866
Lower average than his career, but I'd still take it.
YDNROBB!!!
the third base coach butchered that
Two nice plays in a row by Buxton.
He couldn't have done it without Santana!
Danny?
Give that man a three year contract extension!
Makin em pay. Very nice.
WHo the heck is Jhonny Giovatella and why cant Twins pitchers get him out?
I don't like when my distraction from packing includes HRs against the Twins.
I don't know the answer to the first part of that, but I think we all know the answer to the second part of that.
Blyleven defending bat flips. Huh.
Every day is backwards day when listening to Bert
Probably going to need a lot of bullpen action tonight. yeesh
Wow. Great barehanded play by Cron. I thought Buxton had it.
Yeah, that was a rally fine play.
Future Twins All Star Robbie Grossman
TWINS BASEBALL!!!!!
Marte with a clinic in left field...
Heh, "triple"
That was Mauer's 26th career triple. Other player with 26 triples while playing for the Twins: Torii Hunter, Luis Rivas, Lyman Bostock, The Dazzleman, and Randy Bush
Joe Mauer has hit 2 triples in each of the last three seasons. His career season high is 4, done three times.
I had a dream last night that Joe Mauer hit a standup inside-the-parker
Goodness' sake, Ervin.
Take him out.
Nice hit, Byron!
I'm just gamedaying it, but I felt the same way.
It was a solid line drive to left center field that he was able to turn into a double, because Buxton.
Alright, take it home boys.
Ooh, that was some fine defense, and a damning indictment of the hit and run.
Jepsen! You're supposed to get a second out before you completely unravel.
