And Twins! (The Twins talk and pick-up thread).

[Guest]

I'm hoping to get to Revere if I will be able to get a ride there, and then the August ones if they ever announce who. Already got Nathan TTM, Capps IP, Duensing TTM 3 times, but really want to get my Revere Pro Debut signed, even though it's kind of a mess on the surface

Kubels on rehab assignment, will not be at FanHQ tomorrow, get on their mailing list so you are informed about stuff like this.

Was the Valencia signing busy?

Yeah I am. I actually got the email about 15 minutes after I posted this. I got there at about 10 and it started at 11:30. Probably about 40 or so people in front of me and by the time Valencia got there and started signing the line was wrapped around the entire store. I would say 200+ easily.

How big would you expect the Revere line to be on a Thursday afternoon/lunch hour?

I have no idea but I would get there pretty early if you want to make sure you get one. I thought it may not be busy since it is during the day on a weekday but it still filled up very quickly, and I feel like Revere is starting to become popular and since it is at a pro shop it will be advertised more. It was advertised at the game last night inside the Majestic store so I'm sure a lot of people know about it. I have his MLB Debut Ticket Stub signed but I would like to get his 1st Hit Ticket Stub signed as well. I was at both games.

Almost a disastrous inning for the pitcher, two bad IBB pitches, wild pitch for a run, and almost threw it into the first row on the Thome groundout

Can we please replace Crapps as the closer?

We all know my thoughts on this.

I can't stand Gardy defending Capps. Send him down to AAA to "rehab" and see if he can beat some AAA guys and not give up homers to them

I agree with this, just to get is bearings back. 7 blown saves half way through the season is not that awesome. Give Perk a shot, I think he atleast deserves a shot

What about that Carlos Guiterrez kid?

I know he has a really good sinker, and he isn't doing horrible at AAA. I wouldn't expect him to get a shot until September at the earliest though since I don't think he is on the 40-man. I do have a pretty nice stash of his Auto's though so that would be cool haha

5 games under .500 and back from the lead, and 8 more games against the divisional leaders this week; should be an interesting few days. I'll be going on Saturday for Cap Day

5 games behind and Nathan back as our main relief pitcher!! Best regards, David

Those are sweet Red Wing TWINS jerseys Flight. Did they auction them off. Was it one game deal with them???

I remember the Twins wore those powder blue throwbacks in games a few years ago. MC doesn't Cuddy have a card wearing one. Myabe Topps Chrome. One of my favorite Cuddy cards. Torii Hunter also I think has a card wearing it in that game. I think they used them for an entire weekend series in Baltimore.

Just about everybody's card from 2005 Donruss used photos from that game. Might dig them up and scan if it weren't so #@!!%# hot here!

Topps (Chrome) and Leaf Certified used them as well. I know someone who owned the Torii Hunter and Lew Ford MLB Logo Mirror Blacks from that set and regrets selling them... ::facepalm::
