Gee, will Joe be able to play tomorrow? A rain out doesn't count as a day off in his contract I bet......

They might as well put this game as a loss for the Twinks and move on.

Heard Gardenhire on the radio answering questions from callers and the caller asked him what does Plouffe need to do to have success at this level? And in true ruin another power hitter fashion Gardy said Plouffe needed to start hitting the ball to the opposite field! REALLY U BONE HEAD~!? So it's official the Twins are officially out to ruin the career off another power hitter just for the sake of making him do things the Twins way! I just wanted to scream at the radio "How many of Plouffe's 15 HR's at AAA were to the opposite field you idiot!"

Does this count as avoiding the sweep?... Gardenhire did say the twins would have won, except for someone who made it rain - and if the rainmaker wants to stay in the big leagues, He'll have to start doing it the twins way. The loss is on Him... Oh, and it's not on Valencia because the non-win didn't involve a managing error during a ball game.
