He's not listed but Al Pacino IS Old Man Mulholland. Ever notice you've never seen them in the same room at the same time??

Posted by: CA-TwinsFan at April 11, 2005 11:50 PM

I thought the exact same thing.

Posted by: Eric at April 11, 2005 11:58 PM

I kinda suck at this. Not as badly as the Twins' D this weekend. But still. Anyway, here's a wild guess.
2-a, 6-b, 8-c, 9-d, 5-e, 1-f, 4-g, 10-h, 7-i, 3-j

Lookin forward to dollar dogs and $3 student admission on Wednesday.

Do not have a copy of the Twins yearbook, but I will take a stab at it.

Nick Punto played by Matt Damon
Jesse Crain played by Jim Carrey
Juan Castro played by Al Pacino
Kyle Lohse and Lyle Kohse played by Sean Penn
Joe Mauer played by Keanu Reeves
Johan Santana played by Martin Lawrence
Jacques Jones played by Omar Epps
Lew Ford played by Brad Pitt
Matthew LeCroy played by Edward Norton
Michael Cuddyer played by Ben Affleck

Yes, I agree with the Pacino-Terrance John connection. I was even tempted to write that in.

Posted by: double-a at April 12, 2005 12:05 AM

My best guess at who Bartlett would have chosen...

Posted by: Eric at April 12, 2005 12:12 AM

also, FYI, Matthew LeCroy is already signed to play the lead in the "Ron Gardenhire Story" in theatres April 2025.

Posted by: CA-TwinsFan at April 12, 2005 01:12 AM

Joe Mauer didn't say Hayden Christensen??

Posted by: Freez at April 12, 2005 01:16 AM

Matt Lecroy = Horatio sans (SNL)

Posted by: simsypoo at April 12, 2005 07:27 AM

All I can say is, thank goodness these guys aren't casting directors.

There's only one choice that I find plausible: Joe Nathan-Ben Affleck

But has anyone else ever noticed that the guy who plays Tony Almeida on "24" could be Doug Mientkiewicz?
Of course, that's only if we would need to cast Dougie's part.

And isn't there some goofy southern comedian called Larry the Cable Guy?
Now there's your Matthew LeCroy.

'Lil Nicky Punto = Vin Diesel. Seperated at birth I tell you.

Posted by: Me at April 12, 2005 09:18 AM

Kyle Lohse should be played by the Olson sisters. The only question being who plays the evil twin?

And I've had a change of heart on 'Lil Nicky Punto . . . Mcaulley Caulkin.

Posted by: Me at April 12, 2005 09:33 AM

American Idol's Randy Jackson as Al Newman!

Posted by: Roscoe at April 12, 2005 10:04 AM

I think the spirits heard my calls yesterday to rid the team of evil spirits. Silva's knee looks better than they thought and possibly only 2 weeks out. Dr. Morneau's CAT scan and MRI came back good and he might get the start tonight depending on how dizzy he is. At this point, I think the good Dr playing dizzy is better than Matty**.

**I love Matty I do, but he just needs to work on cranking homers not fielding first.

Posted by: HooliganKat at April 12, 2005 10:22 AM

Hmph!

Now looking at the Pioneer Press they say Silva out till the All-Star break still.

Stupid Star Trib. . .

Speaking of, did anyone read Reusse's column on Sunday? What a jerk.

Posted by: HooliganKat at April 12, 2005 10:35 AM

I cheated. I have the yearbook.

I must say that Mauer's answer was quite odd.

Posted by: Stacy at April 12, 2005 10:39 AM

Dear readers,

BG will post the answer later today. And she must apologize, she accidentally substituted Michael Cuddyer's picture for Joe Nathan's. She regrets any inconvenience.

Sincerely,
BG

Posted by: Batgirl at April 12, 2005 11:02 AM

Lew Ford didn't say Mark Hamil?

Posted by: Donnalove at April 12, 2005 11:10 AM

Judging by Numbers, Matt Damon will Play Boof Bonser and Affleck is playing Nathan.

Posted by: amr at April 12, 2005 11:14 AM

el diablo thinks Batgirl is getting scary good with that new fangled Photoshop contraption.

Scary.

Posted by: el diablo at April 12, 2005 12:20 PM

Kat,

Why is Reusse a jerk? For pointing out that the infielders messed up some plays that led to runs(and losses) and that Cuddyer has been flailing away at the plate? Or for having Gardy verify the struggles of recent days in regard to the fielding problems of the Cordel and Guzy replacements? Newspaper columnists are supposed to offer their point of view, and the home team gave away Friday's game with the ass-bats and Saturday's with the combo platter of ass-bats and ass-gloves. I hardly think his words warrant jerk status. The Twin Cities have enough sports media types who wouldn't know poop if they tracked it through your living room. Reusse, Jim Souhan and Tom Powers make it worth putting the quarters in the vending machine.

Your Pal in Keeping Score, RD

Posted by: RonDavis at April 12, 2005 01:17 PM

Joe Mauer played by Jim Carrey? That's just wrong. Sick and wrong.

Posted by: Captina at April 12, 2005 01:27 PM

My dislike of Reusse runs deep, so I'm a little biased. Also, I think he needs to cut them a little slack, it's only the 6th game. I guess I was ticked off because I didn't read the column until I was watching the Sports Sunday show they have and he was being a jerk then. Even the fellow co-hosts seemed a little taken aback.

Perhaps your right RD, he did point out things the Twins need to work on, I just wish he weren't such a crotchety old thing about it.

I do like Souhan and Powers though, good anaylsis.

Posted by: HooliganKat at April 12, 2005 01:27 PM

Dearest Captina -

Yeah - I didn't understand that choice either
But totally see Edward Norton as Lew
Matty - I love ya!

Much Love
Wonder Woman

Posted by: Wonder Woman at April 12, 2005 02:01 PM

Kat,

Reusse is younger than he acts. So he's prol'ly a crochety middle-aged thing, working in cahoots with Batgirl's middle-of-the-night fielding drills. Neither of them want the boys to suck.

Best, RD

Posted by: RonDavis at April 12, 2005 02:01 PM

Not sure about the Twins notions vis a vis their on-screen selves. But let's gather around this, at least: Gina Davis plays Bat-Girl. Can I get an amen?

Posted by: Freg Nergstrom at April 12, 2005 02:34 PM

Joe Mauer = Josh Hartnett

Duh - a St Paulite for a St Paulite......

Posted by: TFan at April 12, 2005 02:36 PM

Dearest RD,

Batgirl must admit she's never forgiven Mr Reusse for giving Kent Hrbek his Turkey of the Year award in 1990. Old sportswriter wounds run deep.

Oh, and Martin Lawerence for Johan? Try Cary Grant.

Love,
BG

Posted by: Batgirl at April 12, 2005 02:37 PM

Geena Davis would be good for Batgirl or maybe Julianne Moore.

Oh and I vote Matthew McConaughey for Dr.Morneau.

Thank you Batgirl,it's good to know someone else remembers, I too cannot believe he called my favorite player ever, a turkey.

Posted by: HooliganKat at April 12, 2005 03:01 PM

Freez,
I never thought of Joe saying Hayden... But I was appalled at the fact that he said Jim Carrey (ew). Now that I think about it, they DO look alike. Good thinking... LOL Let's just hope Joe doesn't go evil on us like Hayden.

Posted by: Twinsfan at April 12, 2005 03:03 PM

As for BG herself, she probably prefers Kate Winslet. For Jeb, probably Denzel.

Posted by: Batgirl at April 12, 2005 03:09 PM

Maybe Jim Carrey should play Lew. The shirt ironing incident would be fabulous.

Posted by: Me at April 12, 2005 03:18 PM

Eric: I feel bad you haven't gotten any props for your Jason Bartlett gag. It was really funny.

No home games this weekend, huh? I'm pretty bummed - I'm gonna be in MN.

Posted by: Haplo at April 12, 2005 03:49 PM

Hooligan--
I totally agree. Matthew McConahgeyereses-whatever would be a good Morneau. I wonder if he can nail the Canadian accent...

Posted by: ForMorneau at April 12, 2005 04:09 PM

Jack Black would make a good Corky Miller (in a cameo appearance, of course). And that would leave Kyle Gass as... Patrick Reusse?

Posted by: Roscoe at April 12, 2005 04:30 PM

Stacy You thought Mauer was odd? What about Johan wanted Martin Lawerence? I'm still shaking my head

Posted by: Bojangles Crain at April 12, 2005 04:33 PM

Oh, and Sherman Hemsley (aka George Jefferson) as Jerry White!

Posted by: Roscoe at April 12, 2005 04:34 PM

Brad Pitt as Matthew LeCroy is amazing.

Posted by: Haplo at April 12, 2005 04:41 PM

Can Scarlett Johanssen play me? I don't look a thing like her, but I think she's really purty.

Posted by: TwinsGoddess at April 12, 2005 05:16 PM

Corky Miller could be played by any number of Elvis impersonators walking around Vegas right now. In fact, that's what I was calling him while watching the game on Sunday--Fat Elvis.

Someday soon Hollywood has to make a movie about the New England Patriots, if only so Matt Damon can play the role he was born to play: Tom Brady.

Seeing Johan Santana's father Jesus on Sunday, I was reminded a bit of Ibrahim Ferrer from Buena Vista Social Club. Our man Johan has some muy primo genes... he's going to be one handsome MF even when he's 80.

I just have one question: when this Twins biopic is made, who will have a role for Kevin Spacey?

Posted by: frightwig at April 12, 2005 06:32 PM

Perhaps Mr. Spacey would be a fine fit for our Matty LeCroy.
