It Has Begun!

[Jackpine Rob]

The Twins have started their run to the Division championship!

Led by Plouffe and Delmon providing inspiration, with the venerable old Horse Blow providing late-inning drama - our Twins are just now embarking on their climb from the cellar into the Post-Season. Just as fans begin to enjoy watching the ball games again (rather than wincing, wailing and tearing our hair) we will be treated to.................

THE SECOND COMING with the Baby Jesus returning to the field as frenzied fans scream themselves silly and Morneau remembers that he's supposed to use that wooden thingie to hit the round thingamajig.

Its going to be great - and I take back everything I said about sticking forks and such back in early April.

I want what you're smokin...

[Big Tom]

2-0 with the '3' patch.

[mrklean]

[toughguy]

I want what you're smokin...

Can I have some? My glaucoma is getting really bad.

[Jackpine Rob]

My glaucoma is getting really bad.

Don't look now - Twins are up by 4 in the 5th inning - and Morneau just hit a dinger. Yep, Morneau knocked one out.

Bwahahahaha! All you Negative Nellies are going to be chomping down crow!

[DonBo]

Looks to be 3 in a row. They'll probably clean the rest of the season in Harmon's memory.

[DonBo]

10 - 1 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[mrklean]

see i said they were gonna loose big and now there gonna win big your welcome

[Harmonica Bear]

an ever slight glimmer. gotta love it.

the saying holds true, winning is easy when you're winning, winning is hard when you're losing.

They got to clean up the fielding tho

[Duffman]

Were only a 1/4 of the way thru the season, that's like 4 games to the Vikings. They're within striking distance at this point but they need a lot more work and a tad more luck. A couple guys are showing some hints of confidence, let's hope that spreads.

We'll have a better idea at the half way mark on if they have any real chance of getting back in it.

Playoff tickets go on sale today

[sticknstring]

You guys remember what happened after their last 3 game win streak don't you? I wouldn't be buying those playoff ticks just yet.

[Big Tom]

It will be interesting to see how they react tonight against the D-Bags after Harm's funeral today.

[Comit 2]

11 runs in one game. Now they don't have to score for 10 more games!

[Bran32]

Hope you guys can get refunds on all those playoff tickets!!! Good ol' Delmon in left field is always fun to watch!

[mrklean]

they are scoring runs now but still losing come on

[zamboni]

Horrid. Plain n simple. Maybe they have their eye on some top prospect in the draft and figure they'd tank this season to have a shot at him. Who knows. Friday nights game was entertaining tho, albeit came up a little short.

[DR_FISH]

Second thought, whatever He is smoking may do some major damage to you.

[Jackpine Rob]

I might have a few extra playoff tickets if you act now....

[zamboni]

Wait for it, wait for it. Keep waiting.

[Jackpine Rob]

4 game winning streak. Bunch of AA and Triple A players starting to light things up. Pitching coming around. Eerily reminiscent of a couple of years ago, when the Twinks were down for the count by the All Star Break, and came back to take the Division in Game 163.

Price on my playoff tickets is rising.....

[B. Amish]

who'd a thunk it that casilla can actually play baseball?

fun to watch this weekend. let's see what they do with cleveland after they got swept by texas.

[Duffman]

psssst....the central sucks, the twinks should be well out of the race...but they're not

[Jackpine Rob]

Its OK Duffer - just climb up on the bandwagon and wave your Homer Hanky. It is the Piranhas Part Deux. Ha! Folks were actually somewhat excited about the batting order yesterday, but it was the middle/bottom of the order that made things happen.
