If it happens, let's both walk into the boss's office together.

I gotta go too, as I asked for a dominating game from him.

 

Nothing to do with the fact he has been on my fantasy team ALL year

It is once again fun being a Twins fan, as they are back!!!!

Until it's not fun. Then it will be again. And so on.

OK

 

Wait--why don't you go in and tell us what he says

[spinowner]

 

I am disappointed that he hasn't gotten to play in the field. Come on. Don't make a young strong man suffer through a day of about 10 minutes of action and all the rest waiting around.

Sometime in the next week I predict Mauer DH's, Plouffe plays first and Sano plays third.

[Linus]

With this sample size of one I am saying that we are watching the Twins best starter.

[Jerr]

 

OK

I don't expect to have to go in as it will be good. 

Geesh, now is that the jinx????

7 strong innings. He'll find a way to blow it in the eighth.

[Jerr]

7 innings and only 2 hits!!!!

LET'S GO TWINS BATS!!!!!

Bust this one open

[drock2190]

Battle of Bullpens?

 

Yeah the Twins are screwed

[Linus]

Gotta like that slider. This guy's got stuff

[glunn]

8 strikeouts for Santana and he is looking strong in the 8th inning.

[Jerr]

Time for that earlier called Sano first homer

[Jerr]

Dang Ploffle has had a tough day!!!

[70charger]

Dammit Gordon.

[jimmer]

If only outfield defense was important...

[Jerr]

Rosario better NOT be bunting!!!

[spinowner]

Not a dinger but let's make something of it

[70charger]

This Sano dude's looking pretty good though.

[jimmer]

So is Sano up for good?

[70charger]

Twins cannot get a break with the bats.

[jimmer]

it's a good thing Sano's former spot in the lineup won't come up again today...

[drock2190]

I hope they don't regret pulling Sano later on...

[Jerr]

I have to say again how much fun this season has been, due to how the Twins have become exciting!!!

 

Actually sitting on the edge of my seat here....in JULY

7 strong innings. He'll find a way to blow it in the eighth.

 

Whew!

[Jerr]

 

I hope they don't regret pulling Sano later on...

THAT, was my first thought when it happened.

[drock2190]

Boyer and Thompson

 

Damn...I'm sick of these guys!

[70charger]

Oh good, a leadoff walk from the bullpen. There's no way this could possibly end badly. 

 

(sarcasm alert)

[drock2190]

Stolen base, bloop hit...

 

 

Game over

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

it's a good thing Sano's former spot in the lineup won't come up again today...

Don't worry, tie games never go to extra innings.

[mickeymental]

can they put ervin back in?
