9 Innings- 5/24/2011- vs. Mariners

First Inning

Denard triples, Kubel singles with 2 outs to bring him home. Twins 1-Mariners 0

The Twins get off to a good start thanks to our dynamic-duo of non-suckiness. Imagine how bad the Twins would have been up to this point if neither of these guys had played well. Span is really having a heck of a season already amassing 2.5 WAR which is only .1 less than what he ended with last year.

Second Inning

"So disCusting"

Thanks to the epic base-running of Jack Cust, and a nice throw by Kubel- Nick Blackburn gets out of the inning with no runs allowed.

Third Inning

It is nice to see that Matt Tolbert has finally come to grips with his masterbunting problem. If you have a stat line  of .162, 0HR, 2 RBI through 70 AB and are batting second something is wrong. Just bunt. Oh well at least it worked- Alexi Casilla scores on the squeeze putting the Twins up 2-0.

Fourth Inning

As if Kubel wasn’t content in just being one of the only good batters on our team he goes and makes a nice defensive play. He may not be agile but he can dive- like any good possum can. Mariners tie it up in the inning though at 2-2.

Fifth Inning

It looks as if the Twins have a new song by New Medicine called “Resolve to Fight”.  This might be inspirational in our current situation were it not from the album entitled Race You to the Bottom.

Sixth Inning

Nick Blackburn goes one two three getting the side to groundout. That my friends is called getting BLACKBURNED. Take that Chone!

Seventh Inning

Denard hits an RBI double after Rivera scores on Fister’s balk. PLEASE MORE DENARD ON MY SPANCAKES!

Eighth and Ninth Innings

LOL Smoak just got BLACKBURNT. Oh the hilarious irony. Blackburn retires the final six batters in order. What a game by Blackburn- a CG (keeping the bullpen out of the game… phew) 7 hits, 2 ER, and even 6 K’s! THOSE SEAMEN GOT BLACKBURNT.
