He teases us with his little hot streaks, but overall he has been extremely mediocre and his window is definitely closing.

Plouffie is accumulating homers at a rapid pace. If he keeps this up, half his hits are going to be HRs.

Back to back long balls. Way to go Trev!

Nice jack, Mornie!

Way to get out of that inning Coley Boy!

You need to make the plays that professionals are supposed to make. COME ON!

Carroll says, "That's what you get for playing me so shallow!"

Hopefully Mauer doesn't miss more than a couple games.

Let's keep the winning ways going!

I was happy for Johan. I honestly didn't think he would be able to make much of a comeback, so good for him. I didn't see the play but I heard that Beltran hit a ball that landed on the chalk but was ruled foul. Regardless, it was a fine pitching performance by one of the greats in Twins history.

I think he would be worth a shot.

I disagree with the concept that trading Willingham will send a bad message to the fan base. I think if the right kind of trade is made that it will send a positive message that the goal is to win a championship not just be mildly competitive to put fans in the seats.

Thanks for the information. I always enjoy reding about the minor leagues. Please keep the updates coming.

I wish Marquis the best. I think he could make a bit of a comeback with the Padres as he seems much better suited to the National League. It was better for us to part ways now instead of dragging things out. We need to focus on the future and he needs to focus on his family and getting back to being a serviceable MLB pitcher.

It was a great win today and nice series sweep. I know the A's are not a good team, we've got to start some where. There were several positives to take from Liriano's outing: good velocity, nice break on his slider, better mechanics for the most part, and not imploding at the first sign of adversity. Let's hope this continues.

I would hate to see him go. But at this point, the focus has to be the future. If we can get some quality pitching talent, I would pull the trigger.

I was at the game. He was regularly hitting 93 on the stadium radar gun. His breaking balls seemed to have good bite and his delivery seemed more under control. As others have mentioned, I was impressed with how he didn't implode when he got behind hitters or gave up baserunners.

Great walk off win tonight. Hopefully they can build off it tomorrow! Quick turnaround for the guys so hopefully they don't celebrate too much.

Let's get the win tonight and go for the sweep tomorrow.

I love an old school retro look with a modern flair. A lot of my Twins apparel has this color in it. I think it would be best utilized as a secondary uniform worn on a certain day of the week and see how it goes from there.

Did they give a distance on that homerun or do they not do that in the minors?

I am generally quite pleased with Diamond so far. After giving up two early solo homeruns, he could have imploded but wound up pitching into the 7th inning and giving up only 3 runs. Those are the kinds of outings we need. Keep it up.

He must be approaching 10 GIDPs so far this year which is a ridiculously high rate.

If that happens, I will go find the closest bridge.

I sure hope not. I also hope he has an aversion to partying with players from the opposing team into the wee hours of the morning, especially during a pennant race.
