Frankie Gets a Big 6-0 Win and Debut of the Slama Rama

Hubby and I got to enjoy Game 3 of the Cleveland Series as guests in the General Mills seats, Section 110.   We had a perfect day: hot, clear and a winning pitcher, Francisco Liriano.
Hubby Consuming Liquid

Beer Vendor
Frankie was throwing strikes and Hubby and I were downing the soda.  We each downed two souvenir cup sodas plus split a Diet Pepsi bottle sold by the one and only soft drink vendor (at least that we could spot).  There are a million beer vendors.    Can't imagine how much liquid Frankie was consuming.

Liriana and Butera Confer
It was a terrific game.  Frankie threw over 100 pitches and gave up zero runs to those spoiler Indians (aka The Tribe).   He also helped out in the fielding department.  With bases loaded, he fielded a hard hit bouncer directly at him then threw to home for the force out.  Then Butera quickly threw to first to get the double play.  Now that's TWIN'S BASEBALL!

Delmon continued his hitting dominance gathering three more RBI's.  Will be tough for Morneau to catch up when he finally gets over his big headache.   The infield line up of Punto/J.J./Orlando is feeling good to me.  Suppose it may go by the wayside when Morneau returns, but I want to go on record saying I like it.  I'd put Kube back on the DH list.

The big fun was watching Anthony Slama's, Slama Rama,  debut in the majors.  He fanned two batters and looked pretty awesome doing it.  Will look forward to his next outing.

Just Two Fans
On a statistical note..
 
The Twins home record is 30-20 or .600 winning percentage.  My record is 10-3 or .769.    Am I a lucky charm or will our records eventually look more alike?
