Predictions for the 1st Grandslam at Target..

[Jmnhunter]

who do you think from the twins will get the 1st grand slam?

I'm going with Kubel

Winner gets a pat on the back from themselves

[Dylan33]

THOME!!!!

[Scott K]

Well there has been several opportunities so far, and they all have CHOKED!

[BrianLucky13]

Thome!!!!

[Harmonica Bear]

No kidding! We really shouldn;t bne asking that question today.

I'll take #7.

[mr_jman]

I want to try to put some reasoning behind my pick... Span gets a lot of walks in the leadoff. Hudson may or may not get a hit/walk batting 2nd. Mauer gets a lot of singles, and Morneau has been taking a lot of walks so far. THAT PUTS ME AT THE 5 or 6 hole. So I'll say Cuddyer, Kubel, or Young....

Just to go against the grain, I'll take Delmon Young to pull it off!

[JBMasterAngler]

I have to go with nick punto. He's the only player I've ever seen hit one while at a game, so I have to stick with him.

[sticknstring]

Thome blew his big chance Sunday. Morneau has been striking out with RISP steadily. I'll go with Cuddyer.

[PierBridge]

Think Hardy...Hope Cuddy!

[zepman]

Kubel is $$$$$ with the bases stacked.

Kubel!!

[Harmonica Bear]

Are we struggling with bases loaded or what????? I think everyone is trying to hard for that first one.

Well, there would be some historical value to that first grand slam in the new stadium!

[blue_healer_guy]

punto, an inside the park jobby tho.

Not even Joe could get the job done. When the clutch hits finally start coming, this offense will steam-roll.

I don't know how many runners we have left stranded so far, but it's a lot! We aren't even getting little knocks when we load them up, which has been frustrating. I do know this, however--this is the most loaded line-up we have had maybe ever. We have so many patient hitters this year--even Delmon isn't hacking at the first pitch every at bat, and our overall patience has paid dividends in walks. When we do finally get the sticks going, we are going to score A LOT of runs this year...most in the MLB (yes, even more than the pin-stripers out east). First GS will be Cuddy, with more to follow by a handful of guys, I think.

[hanronson]

Morneau.

[Mudcutter]

Brendan Harris

[Scott K]

Brendan Harris

Well he better jack it out today, because Punto will be back in the lineup for this weekend!

[SledNeck]

no twins grand slams in TF this year I predict

[sticknstring]

I'll say the Twin's will hit 8 grandslams this year, with 5 of them at Target Field. With that patient lineup, the bags will be full for the powerful middle of the order often. I think after the 6 BB's last night, they're leading the league.

[harvey lee]

Almost all in the lineup could hit one this season.

My guess-Thome.

[pinkfloyd4ever]

I'll take Prince Fielder

[Jmnhunter]

Kubel had another chance yesterday and struck out swingy, i thought he had her!

[Dylan33]

Didn't Kubel come up twice yesterday with bases juiced? struck out swinging once and popped up once.

[Jmnhunter]

yeah i think so, he has been slacking lately...
