before the season started, I made a prediction to my friend Mike: Justin Morneau will hit a grand slam this year.

thank you, Justin, for proving me right. ;-)

Lucky me - got to witness in person the Good Doctors FIRST ever MLB grand slam - we even got a little smile when he came out to first - we were still standing and clapping -

Fabulous choice!

Much Love
Wonder Woman

PS - THANKS AGAIN INFIELD - for all the 'stuff' - you rock!!

A no doubt about it choice.

The good doctor comes through on one pitch.

Guess he just needed those test results to ease his mind and allow him to relax out there.

That was beautiful. Simply wonderful. BABOOM!

Not only his first grand slam...

Not only off a lefthander...

But on the first pitch. That's the Morneau we hoped to see all year - and hope to see next.

I too got to see it in person, for once this season I predicted he was going to do something huge and it came true. Morneau has come so close sooooooo many times. Thanks Dr.

Sadly, I was not at the game to see the grand slam. I did not see it on TV since I can't afford cable. I heard it on the radio, and Gordo and Dazzle called it. After watching the replay on the Twins site, wow. I [heart] Dr. Morneau.

I also got the chance to see this beautiful thing in person. My mom almost fell over cheering...good times :)

It was amazing. *nods* Simply amazing.

So my boyfriend hits a grand slam and I miss it? Just my luck. Oh well. Congrats Doc. $10 well spent as far as I'm concerned!

Now the kid just needs to work on cracking a smile after he runs the bases...

I was there and I missed it I was outside in line already but still a good night got joe mauer to sign my ball, my moms cap and got a picture with him which will hopefully get to my email soon =) Since I wasnt the one with the camera

Certainly there's a Legovision opportunity here! Batgirl, put this in context. (Hint: Think of yourself as Karl Rove!)

Some text for the non-cut-and-paste crowd:

"Twins teammates Torii Hunter and Justin Morneau got into a brief fight after Thursday night's loss to Kansas City, the latest incident on a team that has shown its frustrations for most of the second half of the season.

"The Twins clubhouse was closed longer than normal after Thursday's game, and word began to spread around the Metrodome that something had happened...."

Click on my name for the rest.

The Pioneer Press article has some additional info that wasn't mentioned in the Strib.

Click my name for that one.

Whoo! I was there screaming my fool head off! I think I have to forgive him now for being a Canucks fan... I promised a good friend of mine that I would if he hit a grand slam.

I always love when something like that happens right after the Manager brings in a new pitcher.

Makes him look soooo dumb.

Kind of a side note...but saw this pic on ESPN.

There's some of that sass we're always taking about.

Here's a fun little game for everyone over the age of 21. Go to the Twins page on foxsports.com and watch Doc's post game interview. Take a drink every time he says "You know." If you can still stand at the end of the interview, you win!

this is the text from the picture Torhu referenced:

hahahaha... Juan Castro is so cool. I really like him.

Oh, so many things to say.

1. Bubblemint, the only wrong thing with the grand slam is that our one true love did not come into the game.

2. The other only wrong thing about this first pitch grand slam is that Justin's been swinging and missing at crappy first pitches ALL FREAKING YEAR and now he hits one grand slam off one first pitch, so I'm worried it won't be the end of it. But damn, I did have a moment when that ball cleared the fence.

3. Juan Castro : this year :: Henry Blanco : last year, for me.

I say goodbye Torpi. I think there is more of future with the good Doctor. Besides anybody that has a name that rhymes with Porno I want on my team.
