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

Hopefully we can hold them to 6, I've got a feeling Kubel is going to have another big night. Hopefully the feeling isn't just gas

Not looking so good for a comeback. Back2back jacks for Miggy & Granderson

Yea really, but there is still alot of game left.

Alexi Casilla sent to the minors for Matt Tolbert:

As much as I think Casilla could be a really good player, I like this move right now. Clearly Casilla needs to get his head on straight.

I could probably successfully fill Casilla's spot right now. For sure a good move. Gomez is next.

I agree Gomez would be better served playing every day in AAA, especially with a guy like Pridie who could fill the role of do everything outfielder.

M & M boys back to back two nights in a row, gotta love it.

Is it just me or do the Twins always own Felix?

It's just you. He owned the Twins on opening night.

It is just me being a fool...

At least they got to him tonight.

Cuddyer just hit an absolute moon shot. That was a blast.

I wish they would have shown another replay of where it landed. I was so busy trying to tell if it was fair or not that I didn't get a great look at just how far up the stands it landed.

10 rows from the suites by my guess.

Woo Hoo, Walk Off Grand Slam by Crede in the 13th!!!!

 

[Greg Cleveland]

Worth staying up for! Woo-Hoo!

It sure was.

Very entertaining game, but very painful game for me. As some of you know, my wife is a big Twins fan and I am a Tigers fan. My wife was happy we went to the Tuesday game because she doesn't think she would have made it through 13 innings.

It will be interesting today. It's a day game and both teams bullpens have been used heavily. Baker and Verlander will be needed to go deep into the game.

[Greg Cleveland]

Baker and Verlander? Yikes! Could be another 14-10 game!

 

[UMich92]

C'mon now. Don't know about Baker, but Verlander has turned the corner (I hope). In his last 3 games he has been lights out giving up only 1 run in 23 IP.
