Wasn't Mauer's bunt the winning hit? Well, an error, but it did score the run.

 

Yep, I just was thinking we needed the insurance run from Plouffe for the win.

Why I hate Boston:  So that was my Baby- Honda Magna I kept running like a top and looking like a sweetheart.  Came to China on a 1-year teaching contract, worked it out with my buddy to keep her in his garage.  Well, he laid his bike down, and had to go to LAX for a week long trip, so he took my bike over there, and left it in the garage- never to be seen again.  He was from Boston.  So- the Sawk, Celts, Broons, Pats, I hate them all.  Like HATE.

Pedroia is Punto after downing 14 energy drinks in a row. Tough out.

But I'll stick with Dozier.

Argh!  Hey, where'd my photo go---  Argh, I'm no good at this inter-net thingy.

If the Rally Roger comes with wins....never. EVER.

I just assumed this thing would have a short lifespan, but as things have turned out, I was very mistaken. Now I feel obligated to Raise the Rally Roger as I don't want to jinx or screw anything up.

Unbelievable. Thank you Torii for that three run bomb early on!

 

Makes me wonder what if the Twins had built around Hunter instead of Mauer. 

 

Hindsight is 20/20, but it's kinda hard to believe we just let this guy go, charisma and all.

Seeing these two together just reminded me of Hiphopopotamus vs. Rhymenoceros.

 

I didn't say it earlier, but well done!

 

I'm always in awe of the Flight of the Choncords. Them and Tenacious D, though the later is found wanting in that comparison...

Confirmation from Fenway...WINNAH!!

More importantly, Red Sox, losah!

Respect the streak.

Here is a question though: Is this splurge from Hunter and the positive energy that seems to be radiating so far out of him (far enough to clear the green monstah) only a consequence of him leaving and coming back? If he had been here the whole time, I'm not sure things would be as they are now. Either way, had my #48 jersey on tonight in Fenway and it felt damn good to be wearing it.

I'm not sure building around hunter would have changed much unless he would
