Twins....

[KitchenWitch]

WON.

Posted this way because someone had a conniption in an earlier thread I posted about the Cubs...

[quip]

1. One word:

Undefeated. Temeah's incanny prediction: 162-0. You heard it here, first!

[JTG of the PRB]

3. Bah! I challenge your prediction!

The Twins visit the Rockies for three games in the middle of May! The Twins will finish NO BETTER than 159-3!

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

[quip]

6. Alright-- gentlemen's bet. I say the Twins win that series. Are you "in?"

:shrug:

[JTG of the PRB]

14. If by "in," you mean "in," then... You may have to explain the meaning of "in."

:shrug:

The Twins very well could win that series. It all depends on how the Rockies are playing and who pitches. So the Twins CAN win it.

They just won't. :P

Depending on what this so-called gentleman's bet (if we can so be called), I will be IN!

[quip]

16. 3 games; whoever wins the series gets bragging rights.

:toast:

[JTG of the PRB]

17. I'll toast to that!

:toast:

It's a deal!

[KitchenWitch]

4. I can get along with that!

Torii was O fer today! He did make a good play in the outfield. I got subjected to the Angels commentators though...

x(

[quip]

7. He's 0-08!

:rofl:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

2. Oh, GOOD!

I wondered what was going on...

I know you're not expecting.......TWINS!

:wtf:

[KitchenWitch]

5. I got ripped a new one today

for posting something about the Cubs game without a "spoiler warning" :eyes:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

8. Oh, I saw that...

But the game wasn't over yet...

Sheesh...

Welcome to the Left Coast!

:hug:

[KitchenWitch]

10. Yah

seriously.

[quip]

9. Tater forgot to take his perspective medication today....

:rofl: :hug:

[KitchenWitch]

11. Well, I took serious umbrage to the way he lashed out

:shrug:

[quip]

12. Yeah, he was over the top, Kitch. You definitely didn't deserve that.

:pals:

[Arugula Latte]

13. Twins....

Scary ones!

[x-g.o.p.er]

15. That kid who replaced Hunter looked impressive!

I just wish Santana and Hunter would've been able to stick around for the opening of the new stadium.

As a native Minnesotan, I still have a soft spot for the Twinkies, and I'm glad they won't be playing in that hideous dome much longer.

[KitchenWitch]

18. Carlos Gomez had a great game!

Much better game than Torii Hunter.

I too, wish Hunter and Santana could have been here for the grand opening. But I think, as far as team chemistry goes, Santana started to become a liability when Luis Castillo was traded to the Mets last year. He was VERY unhappy about that trade.

[x-g.o.p.er]

21. Yeah, that's true enough

Trading Castillo was kind of dumb to begin with. Imagine a healthy Liriano and Santana at the top of that rotation with Nathan to close it out...sigh...

It's too painful to cheer for the Twins. The only homegrown players they've kept in my lifetime have been Hrbek and Kirby. Well, and Brad Radke. It's too much watching all that great talent go elsewhere. When I moved to St Louis, it was easy to jump on the Cards bandwagon. Big payroll, great core of players...they'll be better than people think this year.

Go Cardinals!!...but win Twins!

[KitchenWitch]

22. It pisses me off to no end that Pohlad is a far more wealthy man than Steinbrenner

and could afford to keep his marquee players. But he hurts the team year after year by being such a tightwad. Until there is some sort of salary cap in baseball, teams like the Twins are going to develop good players that will end up getting huge contracts with the Yankees, the BoSox, and the Mets.

[quip]

23. Aww, Kitch, don't get me started up about Carl now.... it's almost my bedtime!

Boy it was painful to see how well Santana pitched today.... :grr:

[Robeson]

19. Don't scare me like that, o.k.?....

...;-)

[KitchenWitch]

20. Scare YOU?

:rofl:

[SeattleGirl]

24. Someone was pitching their conniption?

Hope you ducked!

:rofl:

P.S. Mariners won too!

[KitchenWitch]

25. Yes

I guess I was supposed to post a spoiler warning before I did the woohoo dance about the Cubs scoring three runs on Milwaukee in the bottom of the ninth.
