The Twins? on ESPN two nights in a row? They must be playing the Red Sox or something...

[KitchenWitch]

Oh wait... They ARE!

:silly:

1. On the Eastern Sports Promotion Network?

[TZ]

3. Well maybe

If you left coast folks would have the courtesy to start your games at reasonable times, like 7 or 8pm Eastern time you would get more showings...:P

4. Memo to Bud Selig:

Please do something about the Earth's rotation.



Signed,

Bleary-Eyed Easterners



:P

[JTG of the PRB]

30. ...

:spray: :rofl:

Oh, wow. That felt good.

[KitchenWitch]

6. Geez, if y'all did not start your days so darned early!

:P

[quip]

2. Hubba. We ROCKED Wakefield last night for 7 runs. I

happen to LOVE Tim Wakefield, so I was a little sorry to see it, and we still barely hung on to win it. Schilling got us in game two; we came from behind to take the series opener with a walk-off 2 run single in the ninth off of Papelbon! :woohoo: :hi:

</twinssynopsis>

5. I must say, I enjoyed last night's game

I would have enjoyed it more had our defense not temporarily ran away and joined the circus in the middle innings.

:D

7. Yesterday's baseball sucked weasel ass

In fact, it's sucked weasel ass the last four games. x(

[KitchenWitch]

9. Dodgers doing their skid a bit early this year?

Maybe they will pick it up soon?

[Oeditpus Rex]

13. They've already gone down-up-down

Prior to Wednesday's loss to the Mets, they had a streak of eight straight and 10 of 12 in which they averaged eight runs per game.

Before that, they were 9-12 and seven games back. Last Tuesday, they were 19-14 and three back. Now they're 19-18, but 2 1/2 back because the Snakes can't buy a win lately, either.

Furcal's been out of the lineup with a bad back for five games, though. Even with a club batting average of .276 and the league's fifth-highest run total, you don't take your .366/.448/.597 leadoff hitter out of the lineup and expect to win as many ball games.

23. And we still managed to make it interesting...

typical, life-shortening Twins lead.

8. Go Rays. The best story in baseball

You could see in Spring training that this team was going to be special. Hope they can continue to play above 500 ball and work toward a wild card. That would be a great gift!!

[TZ]

10. That would be neat

And if it knocked either the Yankees or the BoSox out of the playoffs that would be freakin hilarious!:D

[Oeditpus Rex]

15. Just thought of a new slogan for them:

"Tampa Bay Rays: The Devil's in the Details."



:D

[flvegan]

11. Last night is all the luck you guys are getting.

:nuke: all that great bullpen, gone to waste

[KitchenWitch]

12. Luck?

:eyes:

We are only a few days removed from Carlos Gomez hitting for the cycle.

[flvegan]

17. It was our pleasure helping you achieve .528

Manny Ramirez is only a few days removed from hitting HR #500. Maybe only a few at bats.

I will admit, I'm leery of our bats tonight against your guy on the mound tonight.

[KitchenWitch]

19. I have been very pleasantly surprised by Old Livan!

:D

[TZ]

22. As in Livan Hernandez?

D'oh! Why do the Nats get rid of pitchers that can actually pitch?x(

[KitchenWitch]

24. That would be him!

[Strawman]

14. Tonight you'll learn everything you ever wanted to know about Clay Bucholz

:puke:

[AngryAmish]

16. Cubs are in first place!

[KitchenWitch]

18. Check the rapture ready index, so are the Twins

Those fools must be getting ready to float on up by now.

[Oeditpus Rex]

21. If they do that in Chicago

some bozo fan'll bump into 'em and knock 'em back down. :D

[CatholicEdHead]

20. Nice to see the Twins beat up the Red Sox on national TV

Instead of just FSN North. :evilgrin:

[KitchenWitch]

25. Yes, it lends an air of legitimacy!

:evilgrin:

[KitchenWitch]

26. Hey, who recommended this post?

:silly:

[CatholicEdHead]

27. Guilty as charged

Go Twins!

[KitchenWitch]

28. Right on!

I am shocked, it looks like I am getting a choice of the game feeds (all three) on DirecTV today.

I thought that if it were being aired on ES PEEEEEUUUUUUUUU N that it would supercede any of the out of market "local team feeds" of the game.

I would rather listen to DickNBert than JonNJoe

[CatholicEdHead]

29. I see a trend

Let's have all Twins games on ESPN and they can win the rest of the season.
