Sano got the job done.  Now some insurance runs will be nice.

[twinsnorth49]

This team is just nuts!

 

I love them!

[DaveW]

Mauer has been taking some really really great at bats lately, looking like vintage Mauer.

[AlwaysinModeration]

Does Torii get the go ahead birthday run by proxy?

[Squirrel]

As soon as this is over, I'm eating some ice cream!

[DiscGolfer]

now if Perk can just strike out the side

 

oops, typed that too early

[Kirby_waved_at_me]

Hey, nice game!

[twinsnorth49]

Let's go Perk!!

[Squirrel]

What a perfect day ... slept in, puttered, headed to the 31st marina and spent the latter part of the afternoon and evening on a friend's boat, got boarded by the Coast Guard, and home for the 9th inning ... awesome!

[twinsnorth49]

What a perfect day got boarded by the Coast Guard,

Ahem, family show, thx!

[twinsnorth49]

1 down!

[twinsnorth49]

2 down!

I feel a little bad for Scott Kasmir. 8.1 innings of shutout ball, then he sits down and watches the bull pen blow the lead.

 

Okay, now I stopped feeling bad.

Don't say it unless you're going to tell the story

[Squirrel]

AAAAARGGGGHHHH!

[Kirby_waved_at_me]

Bummer.

[TheLeviathan]

Dammit

[DiscGolfer]

I think the ump blocked that with his foot

Yeah, my hearts breaking......lol!!!

[AlwaysinModeration]

There goes the streak.

Routine check.

[ScrapTheNickname]

Didn't seem that Mauer stretched out to get Escobar's throw. Killebrew would have had it. Game over.

[DaveW]

What a bull**** run

[twinsnorth49]

Ffs!!

[DiscGolfer]

well, I didn't want to see Perk blow his first save in the wild card game.

[AlwaysinModeration]

If Robinson was pinch running for Torii on Mauer's double, would he have scored? Mauer could have advanced to third....

[DaveW]

Better leave Perkins in for the 10th as well IMo

[DaveW]

highly unlikely Mauer ends up at third on that play in that scenario.

[twinsnorth49]

Well that sucked!

[AlwaysinModeration]

Just saw the replay; Burns got it back in quickly, so hard to see Robinson scoring.

 

Free baseball, let's get to work.
