What? We Won? [Twins 8, Tribe 5]

Whoa. We won a game? Finally?

Damn right we did.

In honor of said win, I made a Brendan Harris loltwin:


















And I'm giving B.O.D. honors to our favorite Canadian (though it could go to a few other people as well... Cuddy and Kubes put up good fights, I think). Good work, Justin-- I'll take multiple RBI doubles any day.

Ur Doin it RIGHT [Twins 3, Axis of Evil 1]

So, this is slightly overdue, but I think that's alright. I had my last day of actual classes today (complete with two exams and a 10 page paper), and now there is only one final standing between me and a plane back to good ol' Minnesota. Let me tell you, I am excited. Not, however, for the snow that seems to keep falling there...

On last nights game, I couldn't have been more pleased. At first I was really sad that Bert was not there for me in my time of need, but Ron Coomer was cracking me up, making fun of Bert, and, well, Coomer. He and Dick were pretty funny together-- I'm pretty sure at one point, Dick said the words "tricked out".

I think my favorite part, however, was when Coomer made comments about Nick Swisher's facial hair-- which has just gotten weirder...and the roasting of AJ was also pretty enjoyable.

Moneypenny: AJ = sucker. Thats tonights theme.

Joe's triple and now 11-game hit streak is pretty hot, I won't lie. I just wish Justin would catch up... he seemed pretty confused when Kubes hit the homerun he should have, and when Boof sprinted off the mound to make the out at first. I think Justin's a bit disgruntled...but disgruntled Justin is pretty hot. Last night he inspired the name of a beer that I am (apparently) going to be brewing in my room: 'Smoldering Canadian'.

We finally gave Skinny Boof run support, and the smile on his face last night when Telly Hughes interviewed him was the most adorable thing ever. It finally got Moneypenny to admit that she too finds Boof adorable...

L: BOOOOOOOOOF
Moneypenny: BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOF
L: awwww he adorable!
Moneypenny: he is...
L: AHAH! YOU ADMIT IT!
L: I LOVE IT!
Moneypenny: FRICK
Moneypenny: i did...

I was also a fan of AJ's inability to throw people out...and his wild throws when he tried. Delmon's throw from left field was also amazing, and quite possibly worth an honorable B.O.D. mention, but really, I've got to give it to Boof.

His 104:73 Strike:Ball ratio was, and is, hot.

Congrats, Boof.


















On a different note, I some how managed to score tickets to the Red Sox game tonight.

Go figure.

A wonderful way to end the last day of classes, I think. I'm hoping tonight game is more exciting than last night's game, and that I can get some cool pictures. Whether you like the Red Sox or not, a trip to Fenway is definitely a must for any baseball fan. The atmosphere of the park is just amazing. And really, there's not a bad seat in the entire park (unless you're behind one of the upper deck supports...which I was once, but if I moved my head a little bit I was fine).

Ur All Doin It Wrong

I would just like to say, this is NOT directed at Gogo. Really...Gogo is usually pretty good about doin' it RIGHT (and he hasn't played the last two games).

But, really guys, this is how I feel right now:

Gogo Can Haz A loltwin?

Why, yes, Gogo, in fact you can. Mostly because I say so.

That catch made my day. And so did the win.

I've also decided that in the interim period while Kevin is in rehab, Carlos Gomez is my boyfriend. I won't tally it...but he is. I love that guy. Seriously. Torii Hunter couldn't have made that catch.

And that's saying a lot.

NOTE: Carlos did in fact get the #1 Web Gem on Baseball Tonight :D

Joe Nathan Is McLovin

I really don't have much to say about these past two days...other than that they were relatively disappointing. Who gives up 8 runs in 3 innings?

We do, of course.

I don't know if I want this "Let's-lead-all-game-then-give-up-mad-runs-and-then-lose-by-one" Twins team. Not again. Last year we were so unbelievably pro at losing by one run. I've have enough of that game.

I'm hoping we turn this around tonight. Even though I hate to be mean to Jason Bartlett. My sister was dying to go to the game tonight, because she loves Jason Bartlett. There is a life size poster of him in her room. I won't lie, I'm jealous. I've got a Justin Morneau poster...but it's not life size. That would just be too much awesome for me.

So, in hopes for a Twins win tonight, have a loltwin:























Because Joe Nathan has totally seen 'Superbad', and he is most definitely dancing and/or singing here...

Not Really Twins News...

Mostly because there isn't a whole lot to report... I really wanted us to win Monday so I could give Lammers B.O.D. but alas, it was not meant to be. Maybe next time, Mike.

I would also like to address Sideshow's last performance... GRAND SLAM?! REALLY SIDESHOW?! WHAT THE HECK?! SINCE WHEN DO YOU DO THAT?!

That was pretty much my reaction to that. Then I felt relieved that he and his 40.50 ERA are not on my fantasy team... Sorry, Moneypenny.

In other news, I would really like to know...

WHAT THE FRICK IS UP WITH THE TIGERS?!

I mean, I know they're our rivals, but I like them more than, say...the White Sox.

It was the Red Sox home opener today (I braved Kenmore square in a Delmon Young shirt to deposit a check...I think the fact that I was a large, bat-throwing man kept them from hustling me) and the Tigers lost yet again.

0-7.

Didn't they go to the World Series two years ago? Aren't they "the team to beat in the AL"?

Nope. Apparently not.

Apparently that's the Royals...which I won't lie, I enjoy. They're like the perpetual sleeper team.

But while watching the Sox game today, Jim Leeland just looked so, well... sad. And for an old baseball manager, he's pretty adorable, and I felt bad.

They should win a game sometime soon.

...then we can sweep them next week.

In the meantime, have a loltwin:

Spring Training loltwin

Rick Anderson is my hero.

Spring Training loltwin

Because this picture was just too good.
