TOR 7, MIN 2: Pub Crawlers Have Best Night Ever Despite Twins Loss

Yikes. A game up on the Angels, one more game against Josh Donaldson today and have 3 games in the Bronx looming.

If anyone's watched Mejia over the past coupla years, he looked probably just like you thought he'd look - rusty and not good. The Twins really need to get him pitching more efficiently. Maybe start by watching Bartolo or better yet Erv.

Fielding woes are really sinking the Twins this series. Where are those bats? Did the Twins waste all their fire power during that 17-0 drubbing early this week?

A win today would really steady the ship before the plane ride to NYC. Need this one today fellas!

It is very hard for a Twins fan to not start feeling nervous after these two games.  

I am wondering why we have not had Gonsalves pitch a game.  I know we did not call him up and that makes me even more confused.  

Is there any sign of Sano returning?

Our "Ace" is on the mound today, and then we're facing disgruntled former employee Jaime Garcia, who likely has a vendetta against this classless organization. Then it's Colon versus Sabbathia? Holy cow, I'm leaving that one alone, although I think it would be classy if Colon had saved one of those XXL t-shirts for CC.

What, no bunts today?

That should have been the matchup for Bartolo's Twins debut until Girardi ****ed up the rotation.

I hope every batter bunts against Sabathia.

What are the quotation marks around Ace for?

They signify a quotation, or perhaps some sort of ironic distance from the statement on behalf of the writer.

I hope every batter bunts against Sabathia.

I'll bet he does too!

I'm totally frustrated with the recent managing by Molitor in regards to him and pitching coach not figuring out the simple fact that Josh Donaldson Owns the Twins, Period! Yet, game after game, inning after inning, Molitor and the PC continue to allow the Twins pitchers to Pitch to Donaldson???? Why???? after how many Home Runs, and simply tearing the Twins a new one; we still allow this hittiing monster to Kill us, again today, Donaldson already has 2 dingers against us, and Lord onlly know, I'm sure we will continue to not Walk the guy???? isn't a walk to Donaldson better than the other options??? daaaa

I was thinking that myself.   The Twins were so off balance and the pitcher was in such a groove I would have had the Twins try bunting for hits 4 or 5 times to get some runners on and to get that guy off his stride.    Homers are great as evidenced by today's game but keep in mind that we scored 13 runs with three homers.   Most of the damage was non home run generated.  I still love to see bunts for hits and would like to see that strategy against CC and I really do not believe he would like it at all.
