Twins-Yankees

Recommended Posts

That said, I'll stick by my statement that you could dress the AAA Rochester squad in Yankees uniforms and they'd beat the twins starters 80% of the time. It has nothing to do with talent anymore, it's all a head thing.

I'll agree with that statement completely...Mind Game, and we're cowards towards a yanks jersey

One thing I wonder- does Sled cheer when Cuddyer hits a HR?

I couldnt, I was in a state of disbelief

Well, game 2 is a must win, baseball is crazy, for a moment I was briefly thinking get Liriano out, will need him for game 4 or something with the optimism we'd win last night, kinda the same with the vikes and at least Longwell will get a chance to kick us to the superbowl, just riding the MN sports fan roller coaster.

Now since I am full of contradictions today I am going to call twins in 4. Yep, 3 straight. I just want to see the twins beat CC in NY to take the series.

That is a BOLD prediction my friend, I hope you are correct!!!

And don't forget Cuddy's seeing-eye double....kinda puts that non-MVP Young to shame for only hitting a rainbow to left in the clutch (which I was rooting to go all the way) --- if only he'd had another biscuit for breakfast.

SAD SAD FACT: I work 3-11, and on my way home last night it took me 5 minutes to find an AM station that I could get the game in on.

Found one, my old favorite station out of KC- 810WHB. NOTHING local came in. That is sad, my friends

After handing Delmon the AL MVP 2 months into the season, I can see that

laugh I honestly think the twins looked better last night except for 1/3 of an inning and the crainwreck. jeter didn't look his crazy amped up october self, and I'm not sure what the yanks have as far as pitching goes. High hopes, but i'm sick of this losing to ny poppycock, and we need to clinch it in NY to really get to the yankee fans. EZ-Pass my foot.

Glad to see Posada get beat up behind the plate last night. That guy makes my skin crawl.

If the Twins don't win tonight they may as well sharpen up the old tines on the fork.

Some radio guy mentioned that they ought to bunt more when CC is on the mound because the more running around he dose the easier it is to hit him. Sounded like a great idea when somebody that is his size. What a lard@#& wink

I have no idea how the Twins are going to win with these stats.

Mauer 1 for 8 so far with 3 strikeouts.

Kubel in all playoff games--2 for 24 with 11 strikeouts.

One cannot win with your better hitters doing nothing.

Can't even believe how bad that call was. A fastball pretty much right down the middle. Inexcusable to miss that one in the 7th inning. He should be sent home after this game.

I sense another Gardy tirade screaming about Hunter Wendlestadt if we lose this game. The call was inexcusable, but that's baseball. You gotta move on.

Why oh why don't we use our bullpen in the 7th before we really get in trouble?

Is it me or does the umpires in baseball this year seem to be missing a lot of calls? Also can the Yanks be beat by rookies? It seems hard to make even small mistakes against the Yanks.

Its been real, its been fun......its been real fun but i am affraid that this was the end of it tonight! To win two games in yankee stadium is unthinkable!!

This is a negative view but will the Twins turn into the Wild? Pack the new house for a few years and continue to choke. Maybe the Vikes should just repaint the Dome and get some new yurnal cakes. I'm not sure what the Gopher Nation should do.

The Vikes did repaint the dome, those red steel supports are now purple. I think the place looks a bit better, but thank god the vikes got moss so I have an outlet to turn my frustration towards.

It was Target Field that got me through the winter after that NFC Champ game.

I had no idea Pedro Martinez and Ron Gardenhire were brothers, but there is no denying it.

The Yankees are their daddy.

The best thing we could do is boycott baseball in every form until they stop teams like the Yankees from ruining the game with their spending

Unfortunately it will never happen. The yankees are the reason some teams sell out during the regular season. I yucking fate the hankees but it is what it is.....

Here's a quote from a great movie.....Why do the Yankees always win....because people can't stop looking at the pin stripes. The Twins are in awe of the team that has continued to beat them when it counts. I hope they find a way to at least make it interesting, but playing in NY will not be easy.

      Looks to me like Leech brought his chair home!!😅😆

      I'm not there, so I can't tell exactly what's going on but it looks like a large area of open water developed in the last day with all of the heavy snow on the east side of wake em up Narrows. These two photos are from my Ring Camera facing north towards Niles Point.  You can see what happened with all of snow that fell in the last three days, though the open water could have been wind driven. Hard to say. .

      Black Bay had great ice before but a few spots near rockpiles where there were spots of open water. It looks like the weight of the snow has created a little lake in the middle of the bay.

      On the south end...   Thanks to some cold spring weather, ice fishing continues strong for those still ice fishing.  The bite remains very good.  Most resorts have pulled their fish houses off for the year, however, some still have fish houses out and others are allowing ATV and side by sides.  Check social media or call ahead to your favorite resort for specifics. Reports this week for walleyes and saugers remain excellent.   A nice mix of jumbo perch, pike, eelpout, and an occasional crappie, tullibee or sturgeon being reported by anglers. Jigging one line and using a live minnow on the second line is the way to go.  Green, glow red, pink and gold were good colors this week.     Monster pike are on a tear!  Good number of pike, some reaching over 45 inches long, being caught using tip ups with live suckers or dead bait such as smelt and herring in 8 - 14' of water.   As always, work through a resort or outfitter for ice road conditions.  Safety first always. Fish houses are allowed on the ice through March 31st, the walleye / sauger season goes through April 14th and the pike season never ends. On the Rainy River...  The river is opened up along the Nelson Park boat ramp in Birchdale, the Frontier boat ramp and Vidas boat ramp.  This past week, much of the open water skimmed over with the single digit overnight temps.   Areas of the river have popped open again and with temps getting warmer, things are shaping up for the last stretch through the rest of the spring season, which continues through April 14th.   Very good numbers of walleyes are in the river.  Reports this week, even with fewer anglers, have been good.  When temps warm up and the sun shines, things will fire up again.   Jigs with brightly colored plastics or jigs with a frozen emerald shiner have been the desired bait on the river.  Don't overlook slow trolling crankbaits upstream as well.   Good reports of sturgeon being caught on the river as well.  Sturgeon put the feed bag on in the spring.  The bite has been very good.  Most are using a sturgeon rig with a circle hook loaded with crawlers or crawlers / frozen emerald shiners. Up at the NW Angle...  Ice fishing is winding down up at the Angle.  Walleyes, saugers, and a number of various species in the mix again this week.  The bite is still very good with good numbers of fish.  The one two punch of jigging one line and deadsticking the second line is working well.   Check with Angle resorts on transport options from Young's Bay.  Call ahead for ice road guidelines.

      With the drifting, kind of hard to tell for sure, but I'm guessing about a foot and still lightly snowing. Cook end!

      How much snow did you get on Vermilion? 
    • Mike89
      lake here refroze too...  started opening again yesterday with the wet snow and wind...  very little ice left today...
    • Hookmaster
      A friend who has a cabin between Alex and Fergus said the lake he's on refroze. He texted me a pic from March 12th when it was open and one from 23rd when it wasn't. 🤯
    • SkunkedAgain
      I don't think that there has been any ice melt in the past few weeks on Vermilion. Things looked like a record and then Mother Nature swept in again.   I'll give my revised guess of April 21st
    • leech~~
      As I get older it's really not just about sending bullets down range.  Some of it's just the workmanship of the gun and the wow factor. The other two guns I have really wanted which I'll never have now because of their price, is a 8mm Jap Nambu and 9mm German Luger.   Just thought they always looked cool!
