This seems like an entertaining game, I wish I could watch it.

Yeah seems like it would have been a great game ( except for the final score). I'm living at college now and at home on our directv we have MLB extra innings. I can't wait for the weekend.

Nathan closes the door, YET AGAIN. He's going to triple the record for saves in a season with 162. He's on pace. Oh yeah! ;-)

Its a better start for him than last year, that's for sure. Seems like last April he had 2 saves total.

^ I don't think that was his fault. Remember we sucked for the first couple of months and Nathan had very few save opps. That's why he only had 36 last year with most of them coming in the second half.

Yeah, that's very true. The save is one of the most arbitrary statistics there is. Possibly worse than a pitcher's Win.

He also had 7 wins...

Well, today's when things start to get really interesting for th Twins. Hopefully Ortiz has something in the tank this year.

Santana, Boof, pray for rain! I just hope the Twins offense can do something against Jaret Wright.

Damn well since you got the first 2 games i think you guys should be nice and give us this one tonight. I mean after this game we have a 3 game series in Yankee stadium and then have to play Detroit.

Anyways Markakis is gonna take one over the garbage bag tonight, so it's all good

Good luck on the game tonight just not too much.

I have the feeling this is going to be a high scoring game.

We've got to go to Chicago next, then after that the Yankees come to town, so we can't afford to drop too many.

Fair enough.

Just do us a favor and put a good beating on Detroit.

Ortiz has looked decent so far. Gotta love the double play.

Post #37 » by **kg2005** » Thu Apr 5, 2007 1:18 am

I love baseball. 6-0 Twins on a few bad plays by the Oreos.

Correction...

TWINS baseball. :-)

9 guys going out there and getting it done as a team. Yeah, home runs are fun. But I'll take an inning like the third, where we barely get the ball out of the infield, yet string a few walks and bloop singles together, anyday.

Of course this is about the time that Ortiz melts down, let's see how it goes. He's known for giving up that one big inning.

Im watching this. It is nice. Baseball is good background noise while doing hmwk

Ortiz is having a good night. With our defense pitchers must love it.

Apparently the 6th inning is going to be his bad one. Here we go. Warm up the pen.
