I wish that Dick Bremer would stop using the term rabbits for any group of player that play for the twins. Bremer did have the call of the day on ESPN with the call on the Clete catch though.

tim’s posts at 12:23 and 12:28 are right on. And they show that the Twins should have won the game but only beat themselves.

Not to mention jerking Perk too early….

What was up with that stupid center field camera last night, am I the only one that dislikes that view? Also, if Glen Perkins had throw 10-15 pitches more in the game last night, the Twins walk away as winners.

I was there last night.

I thought Span could have made to third. He got a good jump on the bloop hit and was already past 2nd when Granderson fielded. The ball took an awkward hop — probably spinning a bit, and I don’t think Granderson could have made a great throw. If he goes, out or safe, Go-go ends up on 2nd anyway.

Putting in Reyes to face a Guillen didn’t make a lot of sense either. Crain probably would have been more effective, and we could have saved Reyes for a better leftie than Joyce, whom Reyes retired easily.

On what planet does the our bench get warned first, and our manager ejected, after the opposing pitcher throws two behind Mauer?

No Slowey is not in the McCafe commercial.

Unless there is another one he might be in.

Totally different subject and hopefully someone will answer befor Howard shuts this down and heads for his long weekend: I read somewhere that Kevin Slowey is one of the two guys in that McDonald’s coffee commercial. Is that true?

I don’t pay much attention to the commercials and if I hadn’t read it somewhere I would never have noticed that it’s Slowey. I don’t live in the TC anymore so don’t get the pre- and post-game interview/analysis shows. Does anyone know why he’s in the commercial and why so understated that you have to be told that it’s him since he’s not exactly wearing anything with a Twins logo. BTW don’t tell me the other guy in the commercial also has name recognition???!!! If so, who’s he??

Another thing that’s popping up in stuff on the web are the hilarious stories about the “haunted” Pfister Hotel in Milwaukee. Assuming this is not just a hoax and that some of the players/coaches really are bothered, can the Twins not stay somewhere else? They play there every year…the last thing we need is players and/or coaches not getting any sleep for three days.
