I think I'm sick.

No, not like the coughing, puking, sneezing kind of sick. I think I might be sick because I just don't have the passion for the Twins right now. Oh of course I still love them, but they are being so in consistant that its hard to get excited, you know?

Ugh, our pitching. That is part of the reason why I am "sick". We all know that Pavano did good in his last start and we can't expect him to come here and win every single game. He didn't do that bad. He didn't give up 6 runs in the first inning like some people I know...

Oh my gosh. I am so happy/proud/excited for Liriano. He was like my medicine that one day. Yesterday, my medicine was Mauer, duh. He drove in every run.

Cheers for Cabrera for his TWENTY TWO game hitting streak. Thats amazing!

Twins, please make me feel better and win against Cleveland. Please?

Dear Liriano...

Uh, what is your record now? 4-11? ELEVEN? What is wrong with you? Every start you have I think "ok, he HAS to do better than last time" or "Ok, I will give him one more chance". Well, you blew all those chances. Every. Single. One. I am so sick of you. Basically we can't win more than 4 in a row because you are here. What should we do with you? Send you down? Trade? I don't really know. But the Twins better do something or else this team WILL NOT make it to the playoffs. It's tough to say this, but as of right now? You SUCK.

Thanks for listening. Now if you'll excuse me I have to make a call.

"Hello? 1-800-Duensing? Hey, we'd like to ask you for a favor..." :)

Bye Bye, Kevin Slowey

Heard the news via Anthony LaPanta today. What a shame. We needed him! (No offense to Mr. Swarzak. He is good, but is it good enough to get to the playoffs?)

Speaking of starting pitching, Swarzak showed all of our "veterans" how to do it in Anehiem. Why can't Baker and Liriano seem to Jumpstart their season? We need them more then ever as we are facing our divison rivals so much in these next few months!!


Liriano ----> Leonardo

Tonight is the Suck Sox. Perkins, you are wearing the Navy. Make us proud!

Only about 60 games left. Where has baseball season gone?! :(

Perfect PITCHING

Whoa! Nice Job Liriano and Bullpen! 1 hit through 9 innings is awesome! Liriano gave up no hits, walks, and struck out 5....In FOUR innings!

The hitting.....could be better. Only four hits, but I guess it got the work done (thanks to Gomez).

Only one game behind the Grapefruit Leader(s) and 2 games behind the angels in the A.L. (Did I mention I hate the Angels minues Torii Hunter?)

And, A-Rod WILL HAVE surgery. (YES!) He will be out for at least two months :D

Twins Domination

Twins: 12 A's: 2
R.Sox: 8 W.Sox: 0

We win, Sox Lose. Twins: 1/2 game behind. We are back where I like it (if only we were a half a game up). I just hate when the Twins drop to 1, 1.5, or even 2 games behind because it takes so much work to get back to the top.

Everybody did good yesterday...except Punto who was o-6, but it's ok, He'll impress us tonight. Slowey pitched an awesome game, giving up only two runs, and that was from a home run, so who even cares. 6 hits over 6 innings, is pretty darn good in my opinion. Mauer, good grief man! 4 RBI's and 5-6? That makes your average skyrocket!

So I read today that Casilla gets moved down to the 8 spot, and hey, That's an excellent idea. He hits better when he and Gomez are hitting next to eachother. Remember when they were 1&2 hitters? Our Lineup is so great starting at the number 8 spot: Casilla, Gomez, Span, and Punto. How can you have a faster lineup than that? And add Ruiz in there and we're good.

What amazes me, is that we scored 12 runs yesterday right? Not ONE run came from a homerun. Not 1. The Twins are so good that they don't need Homeruns (that often) they'll just double, single, double, drive people in while in scoring position. That is how we are still in this race is by Hustle and good, timely hitting when we need it.

Liriano tonight, this should be an excellent game. :)

An All-Around Awesome Game

Last nights game was a super awesome one. This is what i liked

1. Carlos Silva sucking it up for us (thank you Carlos!)
2. Kubel's homer
3. Brian Buscher (everytime he came up to bat, I screamed: GOO BUSCH BABY!!!!)
4. Liriano
5. Punto's awesome DP
6. Ichiro dropping the ball
7. Jim Riggleman getting ejected (my first ejection!!)
8. Twins winning

Ahh...yes. I was a very loud Twins fan yesterday yelling in my Slowey shirt at nearly every Twins play. I also got my long waited for Gomez jersey (wearing now). And I also decided one thing.....

I WANT A SPAN SHIRT

They are so cute!! I'll have to get one next time I'm at a pro shop. They aren't at the dome....sadly :(

Today: Twins win...but I am so sad how the bullpen was sooo close of making me spaz out if they lost. Thank you Buschbaby for hitting the game winning sac fly. Jesse Crain....I still hate you, and thank you Reyes, for winning.

Lets all go wish for an Oakland sweep of the Sox so we can be 2 games ahead of Chicago. Yay!

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!

FIRST PLACE TWINS!!

Thank you...Thank You, Liriano for pitching SO great today! And now you can celebrate first place with the Twins!

And Kansas City deserves some credit because KC is great at being spoilers and helping teams [The Twins] out.

I'd like to say that when Lamb put the tag on that runner, I bleated out BAH BAH! Really loud...just to show my support of de lamb. :)

I have not yet said goodbye to Monroe and Hernandez thus far so I will say it now: SEE YA, DON'T THINK WE NEEDED YA. (Although, I think I will miss Monroe for some reason...)

This weekend I accomplished the task of recieving my long waited for Slowey T-shirt that I can tell you, will wear it to every Twins game I go to from now on no matter who is pitching just to show the love and support of the Slowey. :)
Ah! There it is!! :D

Now, with Liriano up, I don't have to wince about who is pitching anymore because I reeeely didn't want to see Hernandez pitch when I went to a game. I would have wanted to see Slowey or Blackburn expecially, and Baker and Perkins aren't that bad...but I did not want to watch Hernandez pitch just because he scares me every time he pitches. But Now with Liriano...it's all good to watch!

Some little things I'd like to throw in here: Welcome to the club Randy Ruiz. You are a BIG boy but you have so much power in you. I am gunna like you...I know it. Also, I wish a happy (belated) birthday to Matt Guerrier.

Leaving Note: Juan Rincon...I know you were very sad when the Twins relesed you and I do hope you went over to see your BFF Reyes before the game. He misses you Rin, he does.

Sad Day Liriano, Sad Day

Congratulations to Craig Monroe and Carlos Gomez in becoming the 4th and 5th members to join the Homerun Club.

Monroe,

Yeaah...nice shot. I think you just wanted to add some more RBI's to that game. 3 hits and 3 RBI's? not bad, not baahaaahaad. oh crap i got Lambitis.

Gomez,

YEAHH!! I am so proud that you hit a homerun! (even more excited than Monroe's..shh don't tell him). You are so little, yet have so much powah! =D

---HR CLUB:---
~Morneau (5)
~Kubel (3)
~Harris (1)
~Monroe (1)
~Gomez (1)


Ok, so right now the Twins are playing the A's, and are losing 2 to 11 because Liriano is a...yeah. Liriano gave up 50 bazillion runs and couln't make it past 2 outs before Mr. "kick ass" Bass came in to save him (not really).So much for staying at .500....*UGH*



I am praying Slowey returns soon to save us all.
