2012 Minnesota Twins: 99 Problems...

Re: 2012 Minnesota Twins: 99 Problems...

AND, the twinkies win on from the ESPN Gamecast thingie looks like a sac fly on a foul ball down the RF line. Why didn't he let it drop?

I should clarify: He deserved to be sent down. That didn't bother me at all. I even had a post about three pages ago saying how depressing it was the he (and Nishi) were still not hitting down in the minors.

What bugged me was all the yahoos saying: What a cocky jerk / what a Miami playbody / blah blah blah. If he can play, he can play; if he can't, he can't. It has nothing to do with being from a warm climate. :rolleyes:

Being a cocky jerk is all fine and dandy, but you can't be a cocky jerk and suck donkey dick at baseball. I had no problem with him when was actually playing decent.

Also, I'd like to say: It's cool and hip to hate on Danny Valencia, but I've always liked him; and I've always thought a not-insignificant part of the Valencia Hate has been the weird Minnesota tendency to dislike anybody who's just generically happy, and confident; and so I was glad to hear that he'd been called up this week; and glad to see he's putting good wood on the ball.

He is beyond terrible. Mauer could hit for a higher average than Valencia if he had his eyes closed. And I'm willing to bet Plouffe (who has a history of wild throws and terrible fielding) has a way higher fielding % than Danny "How Many Chances Can One Guy Get?" Valencia.

I had AM1500 on the other day during a Twins game and I couldn't believe Danny Boy was back.

Span rumored to the Reds, after the Reds lost out on Hunter Pence.
Twins looking for starting pitching prospects (which Rick Anderson will ruin)

And they do nothing.

I saw from MLB network that was wrong, he didn't decline the trade.
 
Re: 2012 Minnesota Twins: 99 Problems...

Two runs given up in the 9th for another late-game loss.

But at least no one acted cocky! I'm sure they're nice guys in person. That counts for something.
 
Re: 2012 Minnesota Twins: 99 Problems...

Diamond leaves after taking one off the leg near the knee in the 8th.
 
Re: 2012 Minnesota Twins: 99 Problems...

From SportsCenter tonight:

"Revere would later score on a Joe Mauer groundout."

D@mn that's a depressing sentence, the way this year's gone.

Gotta give Joe credit for again trying to slap a silly single.
 
Re: 2012 Minnesota Twins: 99 Problems...

And the Red Sox could only scratch out 2 hits against Sam Deduno...whoever that is.
 
Re: 2012 Minnesota Twins: 99 Problems...

He's new. There isn't a book on him the hitters can read through. He'll come back to earth.
