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

[matchpenalty]

Fox looked like he did decent on short rest.

 

[TGutta]

I have to say that Matt Fox really surprised me last night. I was at the game and wasn't expecting to see that from him at all. He never really overpowered anybody, but he did what he needed to do and that was give us some solid innings. Repko really saved the game for us with his throw in the 9th. His offense has been horrible lately, but you can't deny his defense. I got some pictures with players before the game, including Bert Blyleven, Rod Carew, Paul Molitor, Eddie Guardado, Jim Kaat, Tom Kelly, and others. I only have one pic up right now, so I will show that one. All I have to say is oh Bert.. Also I will be sharing some of my recent pickups later today

Also for the person who asked before about the GU items, here is what I got for prices:
Pat Neshek GU Jersey $300
Scott Baker GU Jersey $400
Bats Range from $200-$600
GU Ball's $50

Reppin' the Mauer sideburns? :lol:

 

[TGutta]

Haha Mauer copied me! I have had them since 9th or 10th grade. I get that from everybody though. I work at a nursing home and some people tell me I look like him with those. I even had one person tell me I look like Cuddyer?!? Haha I guess that's what happens.

I honestly don't even pay attention to them anymore, they have just become a part of me lol

 

[TGutta]

Well here are some of my pickups from the past week. I was hoping to get a couple more in today, but those will have to wait for next week.

 

[Greg Cleveland]

Nice eTopps auto. Looks really nice--the auto just pops out at you. Great picture of you and Bert. Gotta have him sign it sometime. I did it with this...

Since I don't have a Kaat auto, I do have these, so it'll have to do...

And this...

 

[TGutta]

Thanks GC, I really like the look of it. I had been getting pretty impatient since I ordered it about 2 months ago. Well Jim Thome ties and passes Big Mac on the All-Time HR List today. I was at the game earlier when he tied and passed Killebrew, missed this one by 1 game. Congrats to Thome!

 

[matchpenalty]

Thome seems to have no problems jacking ball out of Target Field. So do you guys see many people rockign Thome jerseys at games. Bert Blyleven seems like a pretty cool guy. Although I have read where many complain he won't sweet spot baseballs. I've heard people bitch when he says anywhere he signs a baseball is a sweet spot. Love his humor.

Beresford, any idea how he projects. His stuff is dirt cheap. I've picked up a few of his blues. I know his super has been pulled. It sold for little over $100 awhile back.

I have been picking up McCallum and Beresford, along with Dozier from that 2009 bowman set. I hope for the best for all 3

Ben Revere to get the call and should be available tomorrow!

 

[matchpenalty]

About time. Revere will be great as pinch runner, also outfield deph is pretty slim. Is Kubel gonna play soon?

Awesome!!!!!!!

 

[Greg Cleveland]

Who gets the day off--Young or Repko to get Revere's feet wet?

Well, okay. Maybe he'll pinch hit or pinch run for his MLB debut. Still, very exciting to see him get the call.

 

[matchpenalty]

Any news on who is off the 40 man now? I still think they need a another OF up for Sept. Makes no sense to not add some more when you can. Only problem none are on the 40 man. Would love to see Benson or Dinkelman up as well. This should have all been done on Sept 1. I don't get why they waited on these call ups. Poor management all around on it.

 

[matchpenalty]

So Greg Gagne was inducted into Twins HOF today. Is there any sort of HOF deal at Target Field with twins stuff in it?

Agreed man.

On a side note, do you have a bucket or anything? I wouldnt mind checking out your Twins collection.

 

[matchpenalty]

One of these days I'll set up buckett. Although my Twins collection isn't all that big, but have been adding some.

Will be nice with Twins getting some guys in Topps Chrome and Bowman Chrome. Hope Gibson stuff isn't too spendy.
