Congratulations, rookies. A game by the two worst teams of MLB's worst division. Oh well, it's only entertainment.

Not to worry Twins fans, we still have our shot at 100 tomorrow! And what's with Tosoni and Parmelee? Tosoni obviously missed the sign, Twins hitters are supposed to take that first pitch right down the middle. They aren't supposed to start swinging until they start getting curve balls in the dirt! And Parmelee has not been paying attention to the hitting instructor, he's supposed to be slapping those pitches to the opposite field, not turning on them and driving them over the fence! At least we got a glimpse of next year with Plouffe throwing the ball all over the place and not moving off second to stop the ball, maybe he was confused and thought there were two outs?!

Nice Game. I've discovered I've enjoyed watching and rooting for the Twins with all the minor-league call-ups playing. These guys are giving their all, for the league minium pay, which is about right for playing a Pro baseball game. (Vs. getting paid dysfunctional amounts of money like other various team members). It is a game after all. Someone wins, someone loses. It's a game in the end.

The Twins can't even lose right. Only thing we had left to cheer for after Thome's 600th HR was a record setting 101 losses.

How many HR's is that for Tosoni? 4? Gee, I think that's how many $15M Morneau has for THE ENTIRE YEAR. Clean house and field a rookie team this year. They are infinitely more entertaining and provide some hope to the fans. Yes, there will be mistakes, but they are only going to improve the more they play, Unlike the ghastly and lifeless play of the downward sliding millionaires.
