It's gonna happen for sure. I can do a 3 hour drive like making a sandwich easy.

What a relief! I was worried for a second!

Wildcard leaders!

What a relief! I was worried for a second!

But for a game threader, a second is an eternity...

Let me guess: you weren't following the game any closer than what came into your TDGT feed.

Whether the Twins win or lose, it's a lot more fun to watch when it matters to me whether they win or lose.

Actually, I was. I had the Twins website open in another tab.

It just occurred to me that the Twins are ahead of the leader of the NL East. Isn't the AL Central HOT?!

Loved the question from Jack to Dick, " Why is it some of the best closers in baseball are tough to watch".  Perk certainly is one of them, but we win again!

AND Perk got his save #100!!!

[Mill1634]

Twins win!

[Circus Boy]

Love close, come-from-behind, hold on Twins wins.

[formerly33]

Wow. Sano. Check that one out!

BTW,  just for grins and giggles, the Twins are on a pace to win 90 games this season.  90-72 anyone?

And Riverbrian is STILL set to get his little prediction right...just for more grins and giggles...

 

 

The playoff race -- On Friday... I stated that I was disappointed that the Twins were already mathematically eliminated from the AL Central Title. It turns out that my math was wrong... They are not mathematically eliminated. The Twins are 5 games back with 156 games to go. I given it a lot of thought and here's how the Twins can win the title and it's really quite simple. Right now... The Twins are 1-5 on the road... Extrapolate that over 81 road games and that comes out to 13.5 wins on the road... Let's be optimistic and round that up to 14 wins. That gives the Twins a 14-67 record on the road. So... If my Math is Correct... All the Twins have to do is produce a 76-5 record at home for 90 wins and a probably playoff spot. When you consider that Teams usually have a better record at home... This is so doable.

 

Here's the proof.

I thought you were being sarcastic about missing Bert. In fact, I still do; you're just being obstinate about admitting it. But if you are missing him...well, I'll agree that nobody can beat Hélène Grimaud when it comes to the Choral Fantasy.

This a good amount late, but I am not good with this. I believe you to be a valuable poster and I know you are a young'n, but be respectful of my mom and other posters on this site. You seem to be trigger happy with your posts, and let me tell you it get's you no where quick. I enjoy your youthful enthusiasm - but damn respect your elders, especially the ones who oversee all of the threads. A couple of years ago you would have been eaten alive on this site. Be aware of this and cool your jets... and of course have fun... without being disrespectful and what not.

That would make good 'Fun with Numbers' post!

Aw heck, don't worry. She spelled his name wrong and had me all confused. We were both talking about two totally different scenarios and were wondering what on earth the other meant. But I think it was all in good humor.
