Down under

Again. We try so hard to go over .500 let alone reach .500, and then just fall. Today's bat's were ICE. We got nothing.

Can we just forget that game? It's kind of hard too. 4 games back, 1 game ahead of Chicago, and once again 1 below .500. I guess there is some positives....

1) We are going to Milwaukee, and they just got swept and so it's the perfect time to beat them again.
2) Kevin Slowey gets to bat on Thursday in Milwaukee... (LIE! he is batting when in St.Louis on the 27th because of "sore ribs". Sad day folks, sad day)
3) I hate Detroit >:(

Congrats Cuddy, on your homerun for the only Twins run today and to Brian Buscher who got the other hit.

Not much else to say about today's blah game. So sorry to all the dads that came out to the dome to see a pittiful performance, and to Joe Mauer, whose 12 game hitting streak ended today.

Cycle, Baybay!

Congrats Michael Cuddyer! Yet another Twin to hit for the cycle, and coming just over a month of Kubel's cycle too! So proud Cud, so proud!

I just happend to come inside to hear that Cuddy was only a triple shy of the cycle. I thought "oh, how extremely hard it would be to hit a triple to get the cycle" and BAM he does it (on the LEFT side too!). It kinda looked like he was crying at 3rd too. Love you Cuddy!

Anyway, SO glad that we ended that nasty streak of losing games and are back on track. 20 runs against the Sox? We should do that more often! Hoorah to Mauer on the GS, and Tolbert, just cus he's tolbert ♥

And Boy, do I LOVE interleague play. Cause we ROCK! Kevin Slowey is like the ace of Interleague, if only we were in Milwaukee so he could hit some more!

~And....2 pictures that make me laugh~ :)

haha. They look upset. I wonder why??


These people were embarrased after looking up at the board at the end of the game...

Just our luck

And Michael Cuddyer is injured again. Broken Foot by a line drive and 3 days before he was going to rejoin the Twins on Monday. Sad day.

But...Alexi Casilla is coming back soon (yay!!) This is great so we can finally get stupid Adam Everette out of the lineup (I strongly dislike him).

Kevin Slowey...did amazing again last night...But Nathan....NATHAN? What are you doing: loading the bases in the 9th inning? Please stop that...we need to beat KC.

And what about the Red Sox? They lose to the White Sox when we need them to beat them...we beat the White Sox bad...but not the Red Sox...baseball...a confusing sport.

Tonite is Liriano and another win! Go Twins!

3.5 back and counting

Stupid Chicago-10 Twins- 6 :(

Ok, everytime we lose in this series, we fall back a game and we were just .5 games behind and now we are 3.5! The Sox with their stupid Homeruns will not lose!

Poor Blackburn. 7 runs on 8 hits is not a very good ratio. At least he has the first game since his incident out of the way, and now he can come back and feel even better next time he pitches.

Gomez and Casilla have a little pact now that whenever Gomez hits a homerun, Casilla will hit a homerun. They both hit one last night (along with Cuddyer...but he's not part of Gosilla). Both Cuddy's and Gomez's were solos and Casilla hit one with Brenden Harris on First Base.

We really need a win and hopefully Livan will help us out so we can actually move UP and not DOWN the ALC standings.

P.S. Slowey pitches tomorrow! (yeaah!)

Inconvenient Truth

Yesterday's game scared me to death when Blackburn got hit by Abreu's liner up the middle. I care for Blackburn almost as much as I do Slowey...almost. When he was on the mound legs and arms spread, I thought: Oh My Gosh. and then started freaking out...then calmed down when he stood up. I was also relived when the X-rays turned out negative and he only has a bruised upper lip and side of his nose. They said on twinsbaseball.com that if it hadn't hit his glove first, then it could have been a lot worse. AND Blackburn is still expected to pitch on Friday. What made me really happy is that Abreu was praying for Blackburn, and later he went to talk to Blackburn to see if he was ok. Out of all the Yankee's, Abreu is now my favorite.


Despite having little warm-up time, Kick-Ass-Bass did great. To be specific, the whole bullpen did great. They gave up no runs. The only run came from Jeter's homer off Blackburn, and 3 pitches after that, Blackburn was hit and left the game.

Cuddyer drove in most of the runs (3) and Morneau got an unofficial Innie. The outfielders bobbled it so many times, that Morneau just kept going. Unfortunatly, they called it a triple with an error. Morneau got really sweaty... :D

Tonite's game is Hernandez vs. Pettite. I do hope that we can split the series, and the white sox lose so we can be on top!

Not Right

Twins: You are soooo capable of beating the Yankees....yet you just act like idiots in Xtra innings. We had last nights game. Bottom of the ninth, HEART of our lineup: ALL, yes ALL strike out. Yay for: Lamb (nice triple), and Casilla (nice patience)...who are the only ones who did something to try to win. And then Rincon comes in and yeah, we lose...wayy ta go Rincon...way ta go.

Guess what?!? Young still sucks! What a surprise!

Both Morneau and Cuddy have gotten homeruns in the past few games that I missed. Cuddy is finally getting some power back in him.

AND: Nick Punto returned Saturday (nearly sleepless) and didn't do that bad...he even got INTENTIONALLY WALKED!!

I didn't get to post on the Slowey game, but I was SOOO pissed when he didn't get the shutout. Blackburn and Slowey (aka my favorites) are cursed. Both took shutouts into the ninth innings...neither got their shutouts. Only Slowey completed the game.

Weird info: Apparently Cuddyer doesn't want to shave...he is too busy driving in runs and being Mucho Cududdud

I think we should blame all our problems on Delmon Young from now on...for example:
~Ball gets past Mauer/Redmond....YOUNG'S FAULT
~Casilla makes a bad throw....YOUNG'S FAULT
~Gomez gets caught stealing (2 times in 1 game on Thursday!!).....YOUNG'S FAULT
This is what Delmon Deserves for being terrible...I will change my mind about him if he hits a homer....

Addition to the Roster: Craig Breslow....who pitched Awesomly yesterday night.

Also: Congratulations to Nick and Natalie Punto on their birth of a baby Girl, Nicole Jayne Punto, on Friday.
