Twins 11, Brewers 3

W: Kevin Slowey (6-1)
L: Manny Parra (3-5)

HR: Michael Cuddyer (7), Denard Span (3)

MVP: Mat Gamel (+.034)
LVP: Manny Parra (-.335)

Interleague play is fun.

Tonight, for example, the Brewers gave up nine runs in the first four innings en route to an 11-3 blowout, and allowed Michael Cuddyer to hit for the cycle. That sounds like fun, right?

Manny Parra allowed nine runs (eight earned) on eight hits and three walks in 3.2 innings.It was about as much fun as you'd expect.

At least it wasn't 20-1

Ryan Braun: He loves it.

I love baseball.

Tomorrow morning I’ll wake up and have a game to look forward to, and with any luck, 24 hours from now I’ll barely remember tonight’s game.

Wait… what game? Did the Brewers play tonight? Must have missed it. When’s tomorrow’s first pitch? :)

On Spike right now, Ethan Hawke is kicking the crap out of Manny Parr…. uh, Denzel Washington.

So the Twins have outscored their opponents 31 - 4 in the last two games

Pythagoras would disagree, but it’s still only 2 wins. We’ll get ’em tomorrow!

Pretty Awful game

Can’t stand the Twins

Hope Hardy will be ok to play tomorrow? Another injury to the MI would hurt

I'll do my best to change their luck....

Headed to Minneapolis tomorrow A.M. with some friends to catch Saturday & Sunday’s games. Hopefully, 10 extra Brewers fans in the stands is all it will take.

No tailgating = Boo!
Go Brewers!

We need more Brewers fans

There were enough there tonight, but everyone was too demoralized to do much cheering.

The dumbkopf Twinkies fans, on the other hand, started the wave in opposing directions.

They should've started it from the lower level up through the crowd

Not around the stadium.

Well, at least I got to see something happen at a ballgame

Even if it is something minor like someone on the wrong team hit for the cycle.

I also got to experience a real live Cubs troll—one who almost got thrown out of the Dome—who did an absolutely hilarious thing, which I will fanshot as soon as I can get the pictures off my camera.

I didn't see the game

how did Gamel look?

good

his only out was a pretty long fly ball

"He had some firsts," said Brewers manager Ken Macha. "His first homer, his first Major League start, his first error and my first gray hair."

more interesting tonight

is the question whether the Cubs will ever score any runs again

His WHIP has been in the danger zone for awhile now, he’s been pretty lucky with leaving runners on for the past few games. But it was just a matter of time before they got home. I hope he can figure it out, but right now Suppan lets even less runners on.

Last night..

was not fun, hopefully they’ll play better today. They seem to always have trouble against the Twins.

I was at the 74 pitch Silva game, all three last year and the one last night. I was in the Home Run Porch last night and will be down the third base line tonight.

Brewers, Brewers keep turning up the heat.. Milwaukee Brewers..

I was at this game...

There were a good deal of Brewers fans there, maybe 30-70 Brewers-Twins. For the most part, the Twins Fans were nice. There were a few drunk jackasses that got pissed off everytime the Brewers fans cheered. I think they were just upset that so many Brewers fans were in their park (Just like Brewers fans hate how many Cubs fans come to their park).

I had some friends sitting in the upperdeck. They painted their chests, but were told to put their shirts back on. Then they wanted to come down to say hi to us, but they weren’t allowed to leave the upper deck. I also was not-so-pleasantly surprised to find out that they had troughs in the bathroom.

Overall, though, I’d say it was a pretty good time. I’ll definitely make the trip to the new stadium when it opens next year.

was at this one

and caught denard span’s ball that he threw up into left field for Jason Kendall’s long fly out in the seventh. A d-bag next to me offered money for it, after he realized I wasn’t a twins fan. I kept it just so I could smell the grit on the ball.
