Colon brings the enjoyment of the game with him. I hope to see other Twins players fully enjoying their baseball, the simple pleasures of tossing a ball around, figuring out clever plays, etc. 

Kudos to Riverbrian for one of the greatest setup posts of all time tonight. If you have not read it yet then you should not miss it.

 

I am also grateful for all of the other volunteers who have done a great job setting up these threads.

 

Twins fans are the best people in the world.

Great point. I love Colon's attitude and hope that it's contagious. A young, talented team can catch fire with such an attitude.

This game better hurry up. Miss Piggy is on Johnny Carson in a half hour

Lol ... are you 70?

One guy I wish could relax and enjoy himself is Taylor Rogers. He's always so tense on the mound, he doesn't look like he's enjoying himself. If I saw him tossing a ball to himself on the mound, that would be tre cool. 

Do we want an insurance run here? Five has not been our lucky number.

Lol ... are you 70?

Not even half that! One of our local stations started playing Carson shows a little while ago. I've watched several episodes and while I definitely appreciate how popular he was, most of the ones I've seen haven't been all that great. But obviously that was a much different time.

Yeah, we need the big FA or traded for SP...but I'm starting to like Colon for the 5th spot for next year. At least while May recovers and the kids gain experience. I just love watching him pitch and the fun he has.

Funny how even as a fan watching the game while drinking on his couch, I can feel the team playing with confidence. Haven't felt that in a while.

I think he was out on that, but I agree that there wasn't clear enough evidence to overturn it. If he had been called out and we had challenged it, they wouldn't have overturned it either.

You're letting the win streak cloud your judgement

I'll take 1 Yu Darvish, please.

When Bartolo is on the mound I am fully engaged in every pitch and pump my fist or yell out in celebration with every out, something I haven't done since probably late in 09.

 

He is must see TV for me and he has made me rediscover my love for the game.

Agreed, though it's also funny how Mauer has been terrible at the plate for the last week during this stretch.

I think Mauer is averaging more than 1 out per plate appearance since returning from injury. Not a huge exaggeration.

Back to .500

Since injury: Hitting .210 - still good OBP though (around .380)

Belisle strikes out the side to end the game! And the Indians lost today.

Wow! Belisle struck out the side to end the game!

My contention is that by "selling" the club got a chip on their shoulder. Great victory tonight!

Bartolo last 2 games: 16 IP, 14 H, 4 ER, 2.25 ERA

A Big Sexy win for the Minnesota Twins. Skol!

 

Belisle struck out the side.

 

Image that.

 

Matt Belisle serves up 3K in the 9th after Bartolo deals seven scoreless. Hah! A little bit surreal. 

KC just lost as well

How many double plays? Feels like a lot. It was almost awkward watching everyone hit but him yesterday.

Winner!!  Current mood:
