09 Season is here!!!!!

[B. Amish]

since 1968 in twins history or mlb history?

[B. Amish]

Something happened last nite that has not happened since 1968 or 40 years ago. What was it.

G.C.

i'll say consecutive pinch hitters both get walked and both score for the tieing run and winning run.

[Gary Crichton]

You are close, but not quite, and it has to do with the Twins.

G.C.

[B. Amish]

pinch hitter walks and pinch runner scores tieing run?

[UdeLakeTom]

Bert didn't mention his birthday!!

Or Carlos Gomez didn't swing at a 3-2 pitch out of the zone!

I forgot...Twins, Wild and T-Wolves all win on the same nite!!

[B. Amish]

Or Carlos Gomez didn't swing at a 3-2 pitch out of the zone!

dang, that would've been my next guess.

[goose89]

Bert didn't mention his birthday!!

Actually he did, at least reference it, when they brought it the leftovers from the previous nites birthday cake / cupcakes. The day Bert doesn't mention his birthday, I'm the FLW angler of the year.

But, I haven't got the answer to the previous question. Waiting patiently.......

[Gary Crichton]

If you watched the post game, the answer was announced on the show. The answer will be shared at high noon.

G.C.

[B. Amish]

first win of the year came in walk off fashion?

[Gary Crichton]

OK here we go. I will say first of all that they keep way to many stats IMO. "THE LAST TIME THIS HAPPENED WAS IN 1968. THE LAST TIME THE TWINS WERE DOWN BY 2 RUNS OR MORE AND 2 OUTS AND NO ONE ON IN THE NINTH INNING AND CAME BACK TO WIN THE GAME."

That was a long time ago.

G.C.

[Jim Uran]

That was a long time ago.

G.C.

Yeah you were probably only 50 years old,

[Gary Crichton]

Lets see in 1968 I was 13, thank you very much. Were you even thought of back then.

G.C.

[Scott K]

I would have figured the Twins would have accomplished this since 1968.

[DonBo]

I was at the game last night. Small crowd. Was amazed at how few actually left early for as bleek as it looked, especially after giving up aother run in the top of the ninth.

For those of you who stuck it out, good for you, you saw one of the better finishes you'll ever see.

For those who left early? Ha Ha, better you than me!

[First Ice-Mike]

Cuddy will lead the leauge in K's and runners left on base the way he is going. He should have been rung up on the 2-2 pitch before his RBI hit. I'd rather see Kubel or Crede in the 3 hole till Mauer gets back.

[Gary Crichton]

So would I 4wandering, but that is what was said last nite in the post game and if you listen to the pre game or recapp of last nites game, I am sure they will mention it again.

Lets see First Ice, Cuddy has 3 of the 6 rbis so far. Ya I would bench him.

Oh boy we get Carlos tonight.

G.C.

[Esox_Magnum]

2, 2 run homers against Carlos so far. Great start to the night.

[Windy City Walleye Hunter]

Gary,

What are you gonna do with all these fair weather Twinkie fans? Second game of the season and they are already bailing out on the Twinks when they fall behind! Long season to go man. You better start cheerleading a little more and get your boys fired up, my Pale Hose are waiting to give you a little dose of game #163 all over again! LOL

[Scott K]

Nice win by the Twins tonight.

[Born2Fish]

I think the twinks are gonna pull off more than a few wins like they did tonight. After that first game hiccup, they turned things around pretty nicely. It's a LONG season, but I think we are gonna see the Twins right up there. No game 163 needed this year. Twins by 6 games!

[Mudcutter]

Crede??-- He better start having better AB's.

[UdeLakeTom]

Sometimes I think Gary and I are the only PP's on the board...took the grandson last night for his BD. Good game once Slowley figured himself out. And Crain looked good as the setup man!

[First Ice-Mike]

Did I say anything about benching him??? Didn't think so.............. just get him out of the 3 hole. You should knock in a few when you come up with guys in scoring positoin every time.

FI

[Jim Uran]

The problem with that is, who are you going to put up in the 3 hole instead of Cuddyer.

[drip]

Im a little concerned with the fact that all 3 starters have given up at least 5 runs... the bullpen has looked pretty good and the twinks can hit against average pitching but King Felix was real good. Overall, a win today and bring on the whimp sox
