OMG! Please sit down. Tonight was the best baseball game I have ever been to. First of all, Schilling vs. Santana got the Dome about as filled as a good weekend series, and a lot of the fans were young, and of course it's the Red Sox, so it was the best Twins crowd I've seen.
So Johan starts by striking out 5 of the first 6, then like 7 of the first nine or something just rediculous. Schilling was pitching well, but Lew Ford and Torii kept killing rallies as well. Anyway, of course Boston gets the random home run in the seventh to go up 1-0. Usually that is it for the Twins, but Cuddy came in the bottom of the inning and went yard (there was a fan near with a sign "Cuddy=Clutch"). So we get to the 12th inning, same score, and Boston gets a rally going against Jesse Crain. They score a run on a real close play (Punto dove and Castillo almost got the DP) but we think it might be over. Would have been a good game regardless. Anyway, Joe Mauer strikes out, (second time in the game WTF) but then Cuddy and Morneau get to 2nd and 3rd, they walk Hunter and rookie Jason Kubel come up and hits a walk off grand slam! The place went nuts! Then the cherry on top. Kevin Garnett was sitting in the front row by the Twins dugout. He stuck out so much, like a foot taller than everybody. Anyway, after the game he is walking up the stairs of my section and we all got pounds. I told him we were bringing him a championship. I also got on the jumbotron. I remember a few years back I saw a highlight of the Wolff Pack, the group that cheered on Randy Wolff when he was good. When he got a strikeout, they would do this dance where they just did the umps strikeout sign over and over. So when Johan got hot, we started doing that and god a good showing on the jumbotron. Finally, I hate Red Sox fans, but it also made it for my best heckling night to date. See it's not the real Red Sox fans like Stima and MVP, it's the people from everywhere in the world that jumped on the bandwagon. Like it was getting pretty loud when Varitek hit the HR, and they tried to start a "Lets go Red Sox chant." I know some of them are actually from Boston, but I just hate the bandwagon fans. So that brought out some classic heckles such as "Hey Curt, here's some paint for your sock", "You're not from Boston, shut up", "Red Sox buy their World Series with a price, Twins win them with a Puckett", and when Ortiz hit a deep fly ball and the Bandwagon Socks fans got excited, I had to remind them "Don't you remember? Ortiz is no good in the Dome, he just breaks his wrists." Anyway, seriously, this was everything you ever want from a baseball game. Just about everything sweet that possibly could happen did. Seriously, if the Twins can make some 2003-esque deals this offseason, the core of Mauer, Morneau, Kubel, Cuddyer, Hunter, Santana, Liriano, Bonser and Crain can take us far in a couple years. You can stand up now. |

Also, ESPN's poll right now asks who you would vote for in AL Cy Young right now: Contreras, Mussina, Halladay, Pappelbon and Schilling. OK, honestly Schilling? I will let The Miz name as many pitchers as he can that are better than Schilling so far this season. Not to say he is pitching bad, but Cy Young worthy? C'MON.
Also, I am surprised that Batista was the first one to get cut. I liked him and it's too bad, but it is rumored that him, White and Castro will all be gone pretty soon. I wasn't expecting it to happen yet, because White and Batista were going to be let go to make room for Ruben Sierra and Shannon Stewart. I thought Castro would be let go at a later date to bring up Bartlett, but who knows. I guess the youth movement is starting, although I would still prefer FA's at 3B and SS rather than Tiffee and Bartlett next season. |

Fuck you the Miz, you are supposed to make a list including Barry Zito, Johan Santana, Scott Kazmir, even Mark Buerhle and Jeff Weaver.
Twins looked good again tonight against the sox (even though I only saw the recap). It's too bad, we are 20-10 at home and 10-24 on the road. If we were even 500 on the road, we would be about four games behind Detroit and right in the mix. I hope the Mauer, Morneau, Kubel revolution works out. |

Yeah dunno why Schilling is on that list. He has been pitching pretty good but definetly not worthy of the Cy Young. Hopefully Papelbon gets it, that'd be sick.
Hearing Lets Go Red Sox chants in other teams ballparks is sick though, whether it is backwagon fans or not. I almost actaully went to these games but decided to get the Tampa Bay package instead because it was cheaper + I'd rather go to Florida |

Contreras has missed too much time and Johan is better anyway. Johan has been the best pitcher in baseball for about 3 years now

Loaiza arrested on suspicion of drunken driving
Story Tools: Print Email Blog This Associated Press Posted: 1 hour ago OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) - Athletics pitcher Esteban Loaiza was arrested on suspicion of drunken driving after police clocked his Ferrari going more than 120 mph on a freeway near San Lorenzo. Loaiza was pulled over at 3:30 a.m. Wednesday He was arrested on suspicion of reckless driving and driving under the influence after failing a sobriety test, California Highway Patrol spokesman Mike Wright said Thursday. The 34-year-old pitcher spent the night in jail before being released. "We're aware of the incident and it's an ongoing legal matter," Oakland assistant GM David Forst said after the team's 7-2 victory over Seattle on Wednesday night. "We will have no further comment. We will let the legal proceedings play out." Loaiza, 1-3 with a 6.89 ERA, was scheduled to start Thursday against the Mariners. It will be his second start since coming off the disabled list. Loaiza signed a three-year, $21 million contract with the A's in November after playing with the Washington Nationals in 2005. I USED TO LIVE IN SAN LORENZO ![]() |

The Braves are done. Not even a wild card.
They did, however, put Reitsma on the DL with a mystery injury. Didn't seem to help last night, though. |

Didn't Ortiz sign for some giant amount in Arizona? What happens with that now? If say the Jays picked him up, do they have to pay him that same salary?

Bringing in guys with 6+ ERA in the NL to the AL for the first time = bad idea. Maye you guys shouldn't have traded Gaudin for nothing, he's been much better than your other 5th starters.

lol Ortiz hits a bomb between right and center field and it breaks a speaker and falls into the outfield and only counts as a single. The Metrodome is a joke.
