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

I'd rater see the team succeed then One player though

Its ashame that Valencia hasn't produced like he did in 2010. I really thought he was going to be the third baseman of the future, but now I don't know what's going to happen with him

He hasn't done too well in Rochester, seems like Gardy has been upset before with his attitude, and third seems to be taken now, so might as well see if a team is interested, could package him and Liriano if the Twins still want to move him.

Went again today, pretty bad game. Ended up getting Pavano on a Diamond Giveaway card, Walters and Carroll on the ticket, and Revere twice. Missed Mauer by a little bit, he started signing in the Champions Club area at like 12:50, didn't expect him to stay there for long, but by the time I went over he was just signing his last couple. Perkins was wearing the Mauer giveaway jersey when they came out for warmups, fit snugly, but he tossed it to the stands after they threw. Diamond signed for a little while and Capps signed a few, also Span and Dozier signed, but didn't get any of them. Too many bad plays with Willingham's missed flyball, Carroll not coming home, and Butera's laziness on the passed ball that we didn't have a chance for a rally.

liddle shouldnt have sent plouffe on the error by Castro, took the moment that the team was seem to amount there had then been deflated, oh well the Twins have won the last 4 series in a row. hopefully this type of play can keep gonig no from here on out

If he didn't hesitate he would have made it, but as soon as he stopped he should have been sent back. I think it was like the 8th inning, but on the grounder that Carroll had to dive all out for, why didn't Morneau get that one. It wouldn't even have needed a dive from Morneau and then he can flip to the pitcher, but instead the runner was safe since Carroll had to go so far for the ball.

Plouffe had two ground balls hit to him, he fielded them with his glove thats was on his left hand and used his right hand to throw them to first base where Morneau was able to catch them in his glove and complete the outs.

I hope that not everyone has disappeared from this thread besides M&G. Last night was a good night to be at the ballpark (only the third game I've made it to this year). We got some great 2-out hitting. And the extra-base hits...so many "almost" home runs. Defensively, Willingham should have had that ball that hit his glove and Plouffe had some nice stops at third, but was quite off in his throws to Morneau.

I am going out to Pittsburgh (last two games in the series) and Cincinnati (first two games in the series) next week. Can't wait to see the Twins on the road!

 

[TwinsWin]

I said it awhile ago as soon as they start getting two out hits they will start winning again

I have picked up some decent stuff lately that I will try and post today. Also picked up something yesterday that I think some of you will approve of

I might try and go to the game tonight, pick up some of the college night tickets.

Revere was appreciative of the boy's grab when speaking with reporters later:

''I owe that little kid dinner,'' Revere said with a chuckle. 'He helped me out a little bit there.''

I missed out on the Perkins plate last night. I am trying to save up for something so I let it slide.

Missed another Plouffe homer. Where does the upper right patch on this Mauer come from? Looks real from similar ones in the set, but not sure what the logo is.

I was at the Twins game last night and got 1 of my 2 Brian Dozier MLB Debut Ticket Stubs signed. Other players signed as well but I only wanted to really get Dozier yesterday. Will get my other one signed at a sit down signing so I can have it inscribed. If you would like to see a scan it is listed on eBay right now as it was an extra one that I was going to get to move for some other PC stuff. I was over by the Phillies as I always go by the visitors side to try and see Thome. He stopped and signed about 3 things and then left. Shane Victorino and Hunter Pence also signed but they only signed for the kids. I was a little disappointed that I couldn't get my stuff but I completely understand only signing for kids and respected that. Bear with me as this will probably be a long post but I have lots of recent pickups to post. I will start with some cards that I have picked up over the past week or so.

Denard Span 2010 Topps Chrome Red Refractor /25

Joe Mauer 2011 Bowman's Best Refractor 07/99 (Jersey #)

Eddie Rosario 2012 Bowman Chrome Prospects Refractor Auto /500

Michael Cuddyer 2010 Topps Chrome Purple Refractor /599

Now for my best pickup in a long time and one of my better ones ever really, Denard Span Game-Used Turf Shoes! Picked them up from Fan HQ on Tuesday. They also had Game-Used Cleats but the Auto on them doesn't look as nice and plus I got these for $50 cheaper so I was very happy with that. I also tweeted Span today to see if he remembers wearing them and he responded saying he used them last year! https://twitter.com/thisisdspan/status/213283676245590018

I've wanted to get one of the little certificate cards signed, but the ones I have of Hrbek from a few years ago were a little dinged up and the Hrbek/Gant didn't have any. How is their pricing and singles supply? Haven't been there for probably a year or more, but they had some stuff I liked last time.

Shame that this card was stored on the surface of the sun or something for four years.
