You have to be kidding me about this strike zone.

Where were some of those pitches? Jeez...

Dreaded leadoff walk.

Keep in mind that we would only get 1 full season out of Halladay...

 

Then we'd have to outbid the RedSox and Yankees to keep him.

 

It just makes no sense for the Sox to trade for Halladay especially with the offensive departures we're likely to have after this year.

^^^^^

 

Could be a long night if the ump isn't calling those.

 

Looks like it took Danks out of his rhythm too.

 

 

I am already frustrated. I f***ing hate the Twins and the stupid Dome.

Especially with this freaking umpire.

Fantastic start.

lets go johnny gather yourself

Fantastic start.

 

8 more games here after this game...it's going to be so much fun!

don't stop get it get it

Fix is in

Johnny can't throw a strike right now..

Is Stoney watching the same game we are? These pitches have all been pretty close.

But isn't it equally feasible they would offer Dye a one or two year contract, not offer arbitration to Thome and work out something with Jimmy on the side to bring him back April 1st...? With Thome's salary number sitting where it's at, you obviously can't even offer him a 20% paycut, but what other teams would fit the bill in terms of location/proximity, comfort level with teammates and manager, and need a DH and be a competitive club that could potentially make it to the playoffs or World Series?

 

Yankees, Red Sox, TB, Detroit, Minnesota, Texas or the Angels? Does anyone see Thome playing in DET or Minnesota? Seriously?

Great way to start off the season in the Dome. God I hate this place. It always beings out the worst in our time. Thank god this is the last season of it.

Has the "we just dont do well here" talk begun yet from Hawk, or before the game, with any of the players?

 

If I hear this s*** beginning, I'm not even going to watch the series. The entire defeatist attitude I've heard from Hawk/DJ and team has been embarrassing when playing in Minnneapolis. I hope it has ended.

hasnt been consistent at all though, i think he meant close to finding "it"

Yeah, it's already in their heads that they can't play at the Dome....Especially Johnny's

Hawk sounds on the verge of breakdown

wow he's walked the bases loaded....

Loaded for Morenau with nobody out.

you sort of feel like it will be 4-0.

Wow, I don't even want to watch this game anymore

I am so pissed right now. Just watching a game in this f***ing Dome disgusts me.
