Sounds like it was a fun game yesterday as well as lots of farve drama. I stole away for a day at the lake with my sisters and nieces. Had a wonderful time but have to admit there were several times I wished I could watch the game!
I got a vivid description of some of the highlights from my big brother. Thome trying to score from first...wish I could have seen that but loved my brother acting it out. He also gave a detailed description of Delly running over AJ. Not sure if it was related to the pitch coming at JJs head during the at bat before but feel pretty sure that something nasty will happen tonight in the game.
I don't see the Twins as bench clearing brawlers but seems like if any team can bring that out of them it would be the Sox!
Eyes glued to the game tonight!
GO TWINS!!

split works for now...
I did not get to watch the first two games and only saw the endings of the last two.
Could not believe the bunt attempt by Span!?! Heard he had a meeting with Gardy today. He maybe needs a day off, good thing we have Repko. Just seems like DSpan has been off lately. It is good to have a strong player to fill in.
Really getting two of these games was needed and we did it with out Morneau. Too bad we didn't have Mauer the first two games. I love how well Alexi is playing. Just look at him out there he is so into the game. Looks sharp, he is a ball hawk! You have to love his athleticism!
I was surprised that Gardy stated the ball Delmon kicked wed night, should have been caught. I did not see the play, was he not hustling? was he late breaking to it? Even though we won the game Gardy was cranky. He made it clear that it should have been an out and they should not have scored.
Off to Cleveland

DELLLY!!!!
So I admit it earlier today I said "If only Delmon was better in the outfield defensively." Then he makes this play tonight catching a fly ball and turning to throw it to second, gets the runner trying to advance! So here I am feeling bad for questioning his defense, then they interview him at the end of the game...He says I didn't think the runner was going and just tossed it in luckily it was good enough...Huh?! Is he really saying he wasn't trying to make that play? What?! Maybe its just that he is shy and doesn't like talking about himself, but he really did all the right things to make that play. He took a great angle to the ball and turned and threw hard and accurate. Please let me believe he did that on purpose and not like he said, LUCKY.
Maybe Gardy needs to just keep Alexi in even if Orlando says he is fine. He played great tonight and really looked focused! I will take my chances with him in the field if he keeps hitting like tonight. He is so quick on the ball I think he may even be better then Hudson in the field...that is if he stays focused!
Loved Danny Valencia tonight starting to get a crush on him!! Asked my brother Jay what his nick name should be and his quick reply was ORANGE...I like it so he shall be orange from now on.
Feeling good about Scotty Bakers start tonight, he looked better tonight. I like the goatee he has going, guess he knows he can't pull of the stache like Pavano! At one point Scotty Baker had to duck a hit right back at him, this got Bert and Dick talking. Dick asked about Bert getting hit during his career "...couple went by my ear, they were talking to me!" I love this because I have no doubt that Bert has had conversations with baseballs.
Our defense is what will get us past the Tigers and the White Sox.

Got one!
Off to Baltimore hopefully back on a roll.
Gotta feel good when you don't have your two MVPs in the line up and you win the game. Delmon Young continues to get the big hits. Maybe he needs to take Morneaus spot in the line up (tip to Tim who has been saying that for a while)
Love Slama from the moustache to the socks he is awesome! Lets hope Duensing brings a little pick 'em to the starting pitching!!!!
Hopefully we can get some good wins on the road.

More on Thome
I kinda feel bad after reading what Rod Carew said about Jim Thome:
"In 1992, I had the pleasure of meeting Jim Thome when he was a young player," Carew said "In 1964, I had the pleasure of meeting Tony Oliva, who became my roommate for about 10 years. What Jim has exhibited over his career is the same thing that Tony exhibited over his career. You can't find two nicer people who are always smiling. The Twins are getting a guy that's a very special person on and off the field. So Jimmy, welcome to Minnesota and I know that you are going to help this ballclub."
I have to fess up I have always put Thome in the "bad guy" role. The big brute, meanie, homerun slugger who would steal the game from us. After Carew said that Cuddyer talked about what a good guy he is too. So sorry Jim that I always made faces at you and yelled mean things.
He came to town for the awards dinner the Twins just had. Think its cool he took the time to come meet all of his new teammates. Seems like they are excited to have him as a teammate. Though didnt see any quotes from Del. I am guessing he is wondering how many at bats he'll lose to to Thome. Well, Del not many if you hit like you were at the end of 09. And if Kubel plays like he did in 09 he will keep DHing and Thome can be our late game pinch hitter. That may work really good for him(he's no spring chicken ya know).

Thome!
So the Twins did it! They signed Jim Thome! Ok I have to say I was reluctant to jump on board with this decision. Then I thought at the very least he wont be coming in and hitting homeruns against us. Then I read today in the paper that part of the plan would be letting Kubel play more outfield and having Thome DH. LOVE IT! Anything that keeps Delmon out of the outfield sounds good to me. I know I need to stay on the positive tip with Del he did warm up at the end of last year. And I hope he will continue to achieve at the plate but sorry he is terrible defensively. I know hes young and can improve but watching him run is painful.
I apologize to my niece who loves Del -Z I will try to not get on his case this year and cheer for him. Just glad that there are options.
Do you think Thome could still cover 1st once in a while to spell Justin. Dont think he has played defense in a few years but maybe he could a few times.
