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

[flightposite]

Just as I suspected, Cuddy is in for a return to 07 form this year (so far). All you people who bought into the Span hype and claimed the Twins needed to trade Cuddy, please remember who you are.

Yeah, Cuddy is really making me eat my words. How Gardenhire can justify sending this guy out every single game I will never know. I would trade Cuddyer and his overpaid salary for a pack of bubble gum and a Twins schedule magnet.

Still has a higher OBS, SLG, and AVG than Gomez or Young. But I know he isn't playing great, a lot of guys aren't. I hope Mauer will be able to give this team a spark. Pitching sure ain't close to as good as anyone thought it was going to be.

(Not sure if the stats have been updated since the second game, not that it matters, my point was just that all three need to get it going).

No he doesn't and yes the pitching needs to pick up. The Twins hitters actually hit Penny well tonight, they just couldn't get any breaks. The pitching has been awful.

Twins classic on FSN this morning.

Johan on the mound against the Red Sox in his 2006 Cy Young campaign... Just struck out the side.

Great season.

Just have to say, I love Jason Kubel.

 

[ccolwell]

Mauer's back tonight... with power.

Home run in his first AB!

 

[Craig - 21hawk]

2-2, 2B, HR.

Not a bad start.

I could read that every day for the rest of my life and not get tired of it.

BTW, here's my latest G-Man pick up. Sweet spot auto for under $20 dlvd. Not an OMLB, (it's a DeBeers ball) but it is a great looking sig. I'm very pleased with it. (can I scrape that "Haiti" of of it somehow? Maybe a little Goof Off or something?)

I have well over 200 different cards. Wanted to supercollect him but gave up, way too many cards being made for me to keep up.

check out my site, most are listed there. Lots of nice rc auto's, patches, 1/1's, etc.

 

[Craig - 21hawk]

Mauer 3-3 tonight.

It's good to have him back.

What would you say is the average wait time to get into Hubert's 20 to 30 minutes before a night game?

 

[aw00d05]

Anyone know where Paul Kelly is or what happened to him? He was in Beliot last year.

 

[Craig - 21hawk]

What would you say is the average wait time to get into Hubert's 20 to 30 minutes before a night game?

No idea. If I'm down by the Dome 20 to 30 minutes before a game I'm going to the game.

Do you go into the game through the main entrance right next to Huberts? If you do, is it typically empty or are there usually like 15 people waiting outside?

Depends. They are usually pretty strict about making you use the gate listed on your ticket. The gate right across from Hubert's is Gate F which is lower deck behind home plate, so I use it sometimes, but less than half the time.

If I had to guess based on the times I've walked by Hubert's before a game, I'd say there is usually a rather significant wait.
