"Boof" is the sound of the Brewers Gettin' Beat

Not too long ago, the Wisconsin chapter of IDYFT predicted a Brewer's sweep of the Twins this very weekend. He posited concerns about D.Turn, the set-up man for the Brew Crew, but he didn't think D.Turn's lack of pitching would hamper the Sweep.

Barnyard said, "Prove Me Wrong, Children."

Barnyard has been proven wrong, and Turnbow had nothing to do with it.

The Twins took control early in the game. Sure, they stumbled early, with Hefty Fez/Biggest Hobbit Ever Boof Bonser surrendering a run in the first inning. But after that, Boof was lights out--going 7 innings deep, striking out 11 Brewers. Meanwhile, the third inning was disastrous for Brewer hurler Capuano. With two outs, he walked Luis Castillo, he served up a ball to Jeff Cirillo that even that old man turned into a triple. Capuano then walked the next two batters, before firing a ball to the Gates of Shinto that got absolutely crushed, for a Grand Slam. The Twins never looked back.

To celebrate Torii's Grand Slam, here's his great commercial from last year.
