Hmm, if Gardy wanted to play Colabello I might have given Hammer the day off instead of Morney against a very hittable righty. Still, I think we'll tag Harang for 6+.

Scratch that, sounds like Morneau has the flu. Go Twins.

Bremer says that Harrang/Correia both had good outings last time out, so expect a low scoring pitchers duel......with their combined 10+ ERAs. Such a tool

Because Willingham has a lifetime .1053 OPS against Harang. You're right though, this is the game of the series where the Twins could get 10 or more runs (Doumit has a .1091 career OPS, too).

And we're off and running.

 

2 batters in, down 1.

 

I can't keep up...

Didn't realize Hammer has such good numbers against him as well. I did see Doumit treats him like a pitching machine.

Back to Back shots... We got some catching up to do.

And we're off and running.

 

And down 1-0 with another HR allowed. Blech. EDIT: Down 2-0 with 2 HR allowed.

Dickbert: "No way that can be an error."

 

me: "But it hit him in the glove."

Didn't lay out for it, hit him in the glove...of course it's a hit.

It's all good, we got our ace goin today.

Let's just be thankful that Dick and Bert can't have biological kids together.

Tough Play but a Major leaguer should make it. However, I give him full credit for moving his feet and setting up to make the play correctly... That type of thing doesn't happen at the 3B in a Twins Uniform that often.

Interesting combination from the Gene Pool... It would probably produce something along the lines of Carrot Top.

I didn't think it should have been all that tough. Tall hop, but that's a lot easier to deal with than a ball that unexpectedly stays down.

 

A big league third baseman makes that play almost every time.

Whoever was swingin' the ugly stick when Harang was born caught him on the sweet spot.

lol... I said "a Major leaguer should make that play". I was just happy with the feet movement. When it comes to D... Step one is always step one.

Dang Right!!!

2 IP, 2 H, 2 HR, 2 R, 2 BBs. Dueces are wild.

Did Kevin Gorg just say that Colabello is primarily an OF but comfortable @ 1B??

He is the WORST broadcaster in the Twin Cities & that is saying something.

Hmmm...0 K's.

So I have the volume on for the game for the first time in a while. I'm gonna need to keep the sharpened pencils out of reach so they don't end up in my eardrum.

That makes 6 zeros.

Telly Hughes says "hi."

Are you sure? I couldn't understand a word he said.

Shut up, Dick.

That same exact thing used to happen to my team a lot when I coached my boys in T-ball.

Hilarious.
