Sano is good at baseball.

Concur.

All well and good, but does he cello?

[70charger]

Okay, that was more like vintage Mauer.

[Circus Boy]

Milone is a machine.

[JB_Iowa]

Maybe I should go back to my nap. Looks like they were doing better before I woke up.

[JB_Iowa]

Way to pitch out of trouble, Tommy!!!

[70charger]

Reeeeeally would have liked that one to have been fair.

[70charger]

Well hey. That'll work too.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Reeeeeally would have liked that one to have been fair.

What's the saying?

 

All's fair in love and baseball?

 

Don't think i got it quite right, 'cause if so, there'd be fewer lines on the field...

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Still 2-1 after 5 for ye who follow the Circus Boy Updates.

Hey, Duensing's pitching!  <cold shiver runs down back>

 

But at least he's starting an inning with no one on base.  Let's do this.

[70charger]

I'm okay if he lets only his inherited runners score.

Good 6th inning by Duensing.  Still 2-1 Twins in the middle of the 6th. (CBU)

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Stolen base for Sano.

 

As expected...

[70charger]

A stolen base for the big man!

[Circus Boy]

Thought this was a typo on the ESPN game account. (Am at work.)

[Circus Boy]

Up to Zuke again. I call a three-run moonshot to right.

Well, carp. Wrong call.

[big dog]

Nice job Mr. Duensing.

[70charger]

At the risk of jinxing it, the bullpen looks ...non-tragic.

[Circus Boy]

So Sands has two of your team's three hits, and a guy batting 30 points worse pinch hits for him? OK.

[big dog]

Francona's over the top on matchups.  I got sick and tired last year of watching him swap pitchers every batter or two late in the game.

[big dog]

Would love about 8 insurance runs this inning.

[TwinsCD]

Insurance would be great but every time we get a guy on 3rd, it causes nothing but outs.

[Jerr]

On my deck just got here.

Good day for a Twin's win!

[Jerr]

Geesh!

Maybe I should go "back to not here"

[Jerr]

Thank you!

[formerly33]

RABURN!!
