Overall, a good game. My call for Jason Kubel over Craig Monroe looks pretty good right now, but Livan Hernandez surely pitched well.
Yes, Dick and Bert, they were booing Torii Hunter.
Torii made a couple catches in the bottom of the first and there was some booing, but I wasn’t quite sure. Then when he came up to bat he was loudly cheered, so I didn’t think much of it. But on subsequent at bats, he was definitely booed. Dick says, “I can’t believe some fans are booing him.”
Bert replies, ‘Those aren’t boos,” while only half believing what he says. Yes: some fans don’t like when a popular player leaves for more money while saying all along he wants to stay in Minnesota. Myself, I am indifferent. Surely I’d like to see him out in center, but that is the way the Twins operate; to make room for the younger guys. And Carlos Gomez had a big night.
Dick also had some problems with names, calling, for example, Delmon Young ‘Dimitri Young.’
