Wow Dunce with his best Rick Ankiel impression.

Pretty sparkling play by Florimon to end the 6th. Gibby at 91 pitches is not coming out for the 7th, so it was a pretty solid outing for the Rookie.

I just microwaved popcorn. Two minutes and it comes out black. I must have the world's most powerful microwave.

Gibson has 5 strikeouts so far. Interesting tidbit is Boof Bonser has the Twins debut record with 8 strikeouts.

Man Gordon is a monster out there.

Now we are going to interview a guy who played beer pong with Kyle Gibson in college...

Ok I have to work at 6:30. At this rate, is the game going to be done in time?

Oh...that's what they were doing in slow motion...

Yeah it was kind of cool the first time, but I don't care what Perez's swing looked like when he grounded out weakly to short.

Nice slide piece there from Gibson. 2 strikeouts so far.

Yeah this site always have people talking Twins...which is awesome.

Florimon with a RBI single. 5-0 Twins! Davis is gonna throw over 50 pitches in the first inning.

Glad to see some people on this board. I was posting by myself on the message board on the Twins website.

I don't think Slegers will be an issue considering he had a career healthy year, and he probably would want to cash in on that. Gonsalves doesn't sound like it will be an issue either.

For the Twins, I am guessing they go with Gray at 4, then either Tom Windle or Alex Balog at 43

Did I miss something? Where the Twins in this race before this game?

Ok thanks that makes a ton more sense.

I am watching the game on gameday...how did Nick score from first on a wild pitch? Or did I miss something else?

The idea of Willingham being traded is interesting. On one hand, he is one of if not the best Twins offensive weapon and his swing is built for Target Field and is signed to a pretty solid contract. On the other hand, he has had injuries to his back in the past and he is easily having the best offensive season of his career. I don't think his stock will ever be higher then it will be right now, so I can understand why TR would trade him. I read on MLBTR that Ryan would have to be blown away to trade Hammer, and that is a pretty good position to be in.
