Another terrible outing for the Twins, time to throw in the towel and trade Morneau and get Mauer to sign a new contract

Let's hope the guys can respond from their performance last night. I will be at the game tomorrow so it should be pretty fun against LA. Does anybody know if teams usually take BP on day games? Trying to decide whether or not to try and get a couple of Autos from LA players. Also got this in the mail yesterday. It seems like I've had quite a few Span cards that I need come up recently. Also nice to get his Jersey #'d cards too. I believe it's my 2nd one.

Pretty sure our Twins pitchers gave the Dodgers plenty of BP last night, 22 freaking hits!!! :lol:

I thought I heard 25 haha. Either way it was WAYYYYYY to many.

Nice to see them go out and bounce back after last night. Also saw that the Tigers got bounced just like we did yesterday. Never say die!!

Steve Lombardozzi is stopping by the Willmar Stingers game on July 7th if anyone wanted to drop by. I will probably be there with a friend.

I plan on getting an OMLB and something else signed. Any ideas on the something else? I want a card but eBay is charging an arm and a leg for a common. I would like it to be under $10 and look nice.

Those going to the Cuddyer signing tonight, what are you bringing?
Heres my list, as of right now I have two autograph tickets:
1) 2011 Mothers Day Bat - if they still have inscription tickets left, I will pick one of those up
2) Ft Myers Miracle Jersey - This is signed on the back on the #, but there is no name on the back so I framed it with the front showing, will have Cuddyer sign it below the Miracle on the front
3) 2007 Allen and Ginter Base Card - I have the 08, 09 and 10, would like to finish the run
4) Batting Practice Hat - last on my list, but hey, if somehow I end up with 4 tix tonight, I have to have a 4th item. :lol:

Had a blast at the game today, although I did get a little burnt. Baker was solid for the 2nd straight game that I've been to. Really been impressed with him and Perkins also came in and struckout Ethier and Kemp. Also had my best ever IP Auto game at Target Field, those pictures will likely be up later today

I definitely want to see some pics of what you end up getting. Absolutely love your Cuddy collection. I wish I could go tonight but I didn't end up getting any tickets while I could. Just have to look forward to the Kubel signing for myself.

Same price as the other tickets, or what?

 

[matchpenalty]

Cuddy mania tonight. Sounds like it will be a fun signing. Have fun MC. Twins fans have it good having a place like that bringing in so many players. Did Nishi signing already go down. What kind of prices do they have on his stuff at the store. I can't wait for his Topps Chrome auto.

Sweet rainbow in sig TG.

 

[Musial Collector]

So how was Cuddy? I bet your Mothers Day bat was a talker in crowd.

Looking forward to seeing what you guys who went to the Cuddy signing brought back. As for my day today, it was very good. Got in the stadium right when gates opened and since I haven't tried to get anyone the last few games I figured I would try my luck today. Well frankly it couldn't have gotten any better. No BP today so I knew right away that I wouldn't be getting any of the position players. Well the first couple guys that walked by us definitely gave a surprise when they walked by. I'll let the scans do the talking...

Got 2 Chad Billingsley, 1 on a 2010 Topps 206. Got some pretty sweet pictures of Guerrier signing as well. I normally let my girlfriend get all of the auto's since that is what she enjoys the most so I only get them when I want 1 for each of us. Ted Lilly also walked by us, but he didn't stop to sign for anybody. I do have to say I was very surprised with all of the Dodger fans around. Decided to call it a day and walk around for the rest of the time before the game started. Went down to our seats before the the flags were raised and noticed someone on the field. Didn't think I would be getting anyone else but I figured it couldn't hurt to go down a couple rows and see what happens... Well it couldn't have gotten any better. Oh, and I forgot that I also got 1 other player earlier in the day as well

























Matt Kemp and Clayton Kershaw!
