there were rumors today that the Twins were looking at Alfonso Soriano for some offense Im all for that, even though Im not a big Soriano fan. He is better than Boone. Hell I might be better than Boone but they wont do it because he is arbitration eligible and will demand 10 mill next year and Twightwad Pohlad wont pay for offense (or anybody really)

Randy Johnson is ON tonight he hit the first batter stewart, and no hitting the twins oops Castro with a hit. 8 stikeouts in 5 2/3 innings

GOOD get rid of him I say

Craig Monroe has taken over when Mike Sweeney left off 5-5 6rbi so far Monroe OWNS the Twins though. Career batting average is .343

ALBION, N.Y. - It might be one of the more unusual aces in the history of golf, and it won Gene Raymond a new car. Raymond was playing in a charity tournament at Hickory Ridge County Club in Orleans County when his tee shot from the 18th hole hooked left into some trees. Raymond, 66, figured he was looking at a tough shot out of the woods. But when Raymond and his partner got to the green, they found Raymond's ball in the hole. Witnesses told the men that Raymond's shot hit a tree and ricocheted across the green into the hole. Last month's hole-in-one, the first in the tournament's 26 years, won Raymond and his wife a 2005 Buick LaCrosse worth $30,000. They picked up the vehicle this week. Raymond, who works for a Rochester car dealership, says he plays golf about once a week. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20050723/ap_on_...HNlYwMlJVRPUCUl

I dont get a chance to watch the 9pm BBTN. And the 11 oclock one doesnt show highlights from everygame. SportsCenter does that once in a while too. It pisses me off. I wish Fox would have their higlight show still, at least give ESPN some competition.

Boone had 2 hits today shocking I still hate him

I would rather see Kyle Lohse go

hmmm a 3 game win streak 4 more with Detroit

from the StarTrib Deadline approaches The next week and a half, before the July 31 deadline for trades without waivers, promises to be a busy one for Twins General Manager Terry Ryan, who wants to upgrade the offense at third base or designated hitter. "It's a difficult thing to handicap," Ryan said. "You don't know if you are going to be able to match up with someone. Sometimes you think you may have something going, then you have it disintegrate." Ryan wouldn't comment on possible deals, but other Twins personnel confirmed earlier in the week that the Boston Red Sox have shown interest in lefthander J.C. Romero, possibly for third baseman Bill Mueller. The South Florida Sun-Sentinel is reporting in today's editions that a three-way deal among the Twins, Marlins and Red Sox was scuttled Wednesday, although the Boston Globe reported it was still alive. In the deal, the Twins would have gotten Mueller and prospects for sending pitcher Joe Mays to the Marlins and Romero to Boston. The Red Sox would have picked up pitcher A.J. Burnett and third baseman Mike Lowell from the Marlins, and Florida would have gotten pitcher Bronson Arroyo from Boston. Twins officials denied that such a deal had been in the works. http://www.startribune.com/stories/509/5517694.html

and thats a Twins winner!

finally a one run win! but the inning before Punto tried to bunt with bases loaded and 2 outs. he bunted it straight to 1st base

lol. nice on the pregame show on the radio today, Gardy said he stepped over the line last night and went down and apologized to the umps

rumor--- Here's what's moving through the Twins' grapevine these days: The Red Sox have called the Twins looking for pitching. Boston is believed to be interested in lefthander J.C. Romero, who could help stabilize a bullpen that had a 5.51 ERA entering Monday -- the second-highest in the American League. The Twins, of course, are looking for hitting, and the Red Sox might be willing to deal veteran third baseman Bill Mueller, who is batting .277 with four homers, 36 RBI and a .379 on-base percentage. Mueller was the 2003 AL batting champion when he hit .326 with 19 homers and 85 RBI. Those numbers fell to .283, 12 and 57 last year. He is making $2.5 million and will be a free agent after the season. First baseman-outfielder Kevin Millar also is available, although he indicated to Boston reporters he would prefer to stay with the World Series champions http://www.startribune.com/stories/509/5513393.html

dude, Im being realistic. I still love my Twins and most of the players. But the Sox are too good this year.

The Twins ARE NOT catching the Sox. This coming from a Twins fan

The Cubs making a good move when was the last time one could say that with a straight face

haha. I dont know, its probably a losing record though BOY I LOVE BRET BOONE! WHAT A GREAT PICKUP

oh man another great game too bad its another twins loss Silva walked a batter for the first time in 150some at bats.

well, they had nobody to replace him and even with Bret Boone, they still dont have anyone

the only reason he was still on teh team is because he turns the double play as fast as anyone in the league. he is a terrible hitter and doesnt really hustle

It was a pretty good series the past weekend, and for hte year. All the games had the closer getting a save (too bad K-Rod got more) and all the games except for the first one had a 1 run margain I still hate Bret Boone

lol Leiter has got nothing left in that arm. But more power to the Yanks I guess

get rid of him is what I say

it was another great game just on the losing end of things :cry:
