"Downtown" Kurt Suzuki lobs one into the outfield seats!  Go Twins!

[Kirby_waved_at_me]

Kurt. Clutch.

[Mill1634]

Twins gonna win! 

[Cap'n Piranha]

Bawl those eyes out kid!

[Kirby_waved_at_me]

 

Schafer is on base, taking a walk.

No getting thrown out, okay?

MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!

[mikeee]

Couple of Twins averages have surpassed the mendoza line in this game.

[JB_Iowa]

Because there hasn't been one in a while...

 

a CIRCUS BOY innings update

 

Bottom of the 8th, no outs

 

Suzuki hits a 2 run-HR

 

We are now in a pitching change and the score is 7-3, good guys.

[Mill1634]

 

MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!

Kurt approves. 

[James]

First runs that KC bullpen has given up this year!

[NoCryingInBaseball]

Looking like batting practice now.

[Mill1634]

Royals lol. What a joke. You call this baseball

[JB_Iowa]

Nice to see the Twins doing a little shelling.

[Kirby_waved_at_me]

This is the kind of game all the optimists were talking about all off-season - the offense has a lot of pop, and if the Twins can just avoid the big inning while on defense, they can put a hurt on anybody, no matter who they are.

[Mill1634]

Now Trevor plays for the Royals? 

[JB_Iowa]

That looked a little like the Royals found the clown car and wanted to try it out.

[Loosey]

All hail Terry Ryan.  What a juggernaut he has put together. . . .

I should I say still and as always?

Quick, when was the last time Mauer had 4 RBI in a game?

[NoCryingInBaseball]

Mauer flies out, but gets an RBI in the process

[shs_59]

Thats the Way to manage that bullpen could of went with Graham or Boyer in the 9th.

Not even a pressing need to use Perkins there, i can understand using him Though.

 

Good job Molly.

 

Problem is, if THompson or Fien don't pitch incredibly well, we're screwed.

If you're the one who wove the tale of a poor Missouri child, bed-ridden with a greivous ailment, bereft of cheer due to the Royal's inability to defeat the Twins, then yes.  Yes it is.

I almost feel for that poor kid. I mean, I'm speaking from experience. But then, I have this malicious streak that makes me want to purr over his distress.

Answering my own question, he did it twice in September last season on 9/1 and 9/14....

 

Always nice to see that from Joe.

[Cap'n Piranha]

Cory Provus doing everything he can to jinx the Twins right now.

 

"Escobar's last chance to extend his hitting streak"

 

"Escobar's hitting streak will end"

 

How dare he tempt fate!?!

[JB_Iowa]

Geez, Hunter's throw was wild again.

Royals 2/2 with 2 doubles and 1 RS since those statements...

[JB_Iowa]

I'm not liking this.
