...and she don't read good.

You mean ... there is no discussion at hand?

[SwainZag]

Alright Jepsen.....let's see you wiggle your way out of this one.

[LaBombo]

 

V-Mart with an infield single....yes I just said that.

Brian Harper couldn't run fast enough to set off a first-gen motion detector with cataracts, and he got a few of those.   The odds are in your favor if you can put the ball in play.

[David HK]

Oh, Hicksie. 

 

Winnable game here, hope that doesn't blow it.  

 

Fk.

[twinsnorth49]

****ty play by Jepsen, ****ty play by Mauer, ****ty play by Hicks.....not the way teams in a playoff hunt play in the 9th.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Oops.

[SwainZag]

Sigh.

[Hrbowski]

Outlaw the bullpen.

[drock2190]

Way to go JEPSEN!!!

 

He was getting lucky in his previous appearances, so its all  evening out

[David HK]

Oh.  

 

Spoke too soon.

[USAFChief]

######ity #### #### ####

 

None of this happens if Jepsen just throws to first base in the air.

[David HK]

Just....

[twinsnorth49]

Awesome, just awesome.

[Halsey Hall]

Mauer catches the ball and it's man on 1st and one out. 

[FattCrapps]

Season over

 

(reverse jinx is strong)

[LaBombo]

 

We are going to lose to these idiots.

There is a bit of that feeling tonight of the gas leaking out of the tank at the end of the competitive run in 2001.

[DaveW]

This is what ****ing happens when you build such a garbage pen that you are forced to lean on the same 2-3 guys every night.

Great job Ryan. Great job.

 

Way to take a borderline playoff caliber team and refuse to do next to NOTHING to put them over the top.

[twinsnorth49]

Mauer catches the ball and it's man on 1st and one out.

Mauer's was a tough play, Jepsen's was not.

[Halsey Hall]

Somehow we'll have to split with the Angels.

[drock2190]

Jepsens not a closer. 

 

He's a more wild, more strikeout version of Casey Fien

[AlwaysinModeration]

Hold it to one run. What does Rondon throw Sano on the first pitch?

[ScrapTheNickname]

Barring a comeback, 1/2 game out of WC.

 

Come ... back ... Mauer, Sano, Plouffe.

 

If they can't do it, who can?

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Meh, just keepin' the team on its toes.

 

(Now get on yer toes, team!)

[Halsey Hall]

 

 

Mauer's was a tough play, Jepsen's was not.

Not that tough. 

[twinsnorth49]

Next

[ScrapTheNickname]

 

 

Mauer's was a tough play, Jepsen's was not.

I think the reverse. There you go, I guess.

[LaBombo]

 

you've been warned.

Like, flaming warned, or...

 

[Ultima Ratio]

To quote Sir Charles: "This is turrible!"

[ScrapTheNickname]

 

 

Hold it to one run. What does Rondon throw Sano on the first pitch?

A belt high fastball right down the middle of the plate.

[David HK]

Yah, ve usta go by de old Yepsen place.  Sometimes for Sunday supper.  Everyt'ing dey served vas fat und in der middle uf der plate.
