Twins 4 - Detroit 1

Once again, I have to admit that I was worried about this game - this time when we found out that Scotty was coming out and Brian Bass was coming in. Thank goodness for Brian Bass. Big congratulations on your first major league win. But more importantly, thank you, thank you, thank you for pitching bueno. I want to dedicate a picture to you, but I can’t decide which one was best. So I’ll give them all to you.

My Dearest Scotty,
Please get better very soon.

My Dearest Twins Players,
I have grown weary of writing get well letters. Please consider not getting hurt.
Thank you,

Speaking of Scotty’s injury, how many times did we hear the word “groin” tonight?

Hey Craig, nice jack. Against your former team, too. Sweeeeet.

 

Friday: Twins 0 - Cleveland 4

Saturday: Twins 3 - Cleveland 0

Sunday: Twins 2 - Cleveland 1

My thoughts on Friday’s game: Pew. I don’t even want to remember it.

My thoughts on Saturday’s game: Well, I didn’t see it. It sounded like it was a lot of fun. It actually sounded like my kind of game - great pitching and great defense. Turning four double plays is hot. I was busy enjoying a high school production of “Beauty and the Beast”.

My thoughts on today’s game: Groovy. In fact, I’m so happy, I’m breaking out my bullet-points.

• Scotty pitched very nicely. I think he’s going to be the strikeout leader of the team.
• Hey! A Twin not named Justin Morneau or Jason Kubel finally hit a homerun! Congrats on your first Twins homer Brendan Harris. An opposite field one, too.
• Go-Go’s catch was muy caliente.

  

• They showed the new commercial with the pitchers singing. It was flippin’ hilarious. Those commercials get better every time. It’s funny that Joe Nathan, who said that the pitchers were the worst singing act ever, happened to be the very worst of them all. All the guys looked like they had a great time; Boof was especially goofy (ha ha, get it, Goofy Boof). I just checked the Twins website to see if was there, but it wasn’t yet. I imagine it’ll be there in the next day or two.
• They have “All you can eat night“?!? Sweet! I could bring my sons and make those dome vendors rue that idea. Trust me, my boys can really put it away when dared to. I’ll have to check our schedule.
• Do you think that Justin Morneau walked up to the plate in the bottom of the 10^th signing “Here I come to save the day” ala Dudley Do-right like they say in the radio commercial? Nice work, Justin.

  

And finally, the “Gotta Love Dick-n-Bert” moment of the game (double):
1) In the bottom of the 10^th, with Jason Kubel at the plate:
Dick: [something like] “They don’t want to walk Kubel here.”
Bert: “Sure they do. Then they know where he’s at.”

2) Again in the bottom of the 10^th, with Justin Morneau at the plate, Dick was going on and on, carrying on both sides of a conversation over whether Jason Kubel should take second “his run doesn’t matter, but it might take the bat out of Morneau’s hand, but if they get to two strikes, they might have to think about it….” Turned out it didn’t matter.
