You can think about this too, should the mood strike you.

What's the big deal hitting two home runs, in a game where your team scores 11?

 

Try doing that in a game you end up winning 1-0. Much harder, much more clutch, don't you think?

[ScrapTheNickname]

When scoring 8 or more runs the 2015 Twins are now 22-1.

That's not a planet. THIS is a planet:

 

 

Oh well, I roam from place to place within the Kuiper Belt
I go through life without a care
And I'm as happy as I felt
I with my many moons of stone and I'm going nowhere

 

 

'Cause I'm a wanderer
Yeah, a wanderer
I roam around, around, around

Buxton is hitting .438 in the eighth inning (7-16), but .161 in all other innings ... Clearly Molitor should just bat him in the 8th inning!

Gosh, is there anything he's not good at?

 

Oh yeah, congrats to Kepler* for hitting a grand slam and a solo shot in the same game yesterday.

Fun With Numbers candidate!

Amazing it doesn't look flat like the earth is. Scientists trying to trick us again.

Thanks? I browse stats, picking up little things that may be of interest.

Must win game.

Ya, good post, eh?  To the point, for sure.  It's tough today, thinking that our chances for remaining realistically in the WC hunt boil down to counting on Big Pelf to deliver.  He's battled all year, for better or worse,  Hope today is one of the better ones.

 

Oh, almost forgot--  eh?

And i got up just in time...

 

Well... how should i pass the meanwhile?

[Otto von Ballpark]

Perk is available tonight, according to the pregame show

Figured out how...

 

Second home run gets hit in the top of the inning in which the game is called, having gone long enough to be official.

 

Home run is hit, but doesn't get taken into account as the home team doesn't get a chance to complete the inning.

 

Gimme another puzzler like that!

Does Pluto have Global Warming?

[Blake]

I was dismayed, last night, because the Twins got up 5-0 and I was not able to get the game. However, my dismay turned to relief right about the second inning.

 

I've got this "great, the Tigers returned the favor" vibe right now.

[Craig Arko]

Rain still coming down pretty good.

[ashbury]

Now that I'm back on the east coast, even the games that start on time are tough for me to finish, and I can confidently state that I won't be watching the 9th inning, should this game even start.

In keeping with the Sports Bar, a Politician puzzle:

 

A certain convention numbered 100 politicians. Each politician was either crooked or honest. We are given the following two facts:

 

• At least one of the politicians was honest.

• Given any two of the politicians, at least one of the two was crooked.

 

Can it be determined from these two facts how many of the politicians were honest and how many of them were crooked?

[ashbury]

99-1?

[Craig Arko]

99-1?

Concur.

[Craig Arko]

Game postponed. Make up at 12:10 tomorrow as a split doubleheader.

 

It is supposed to be great out tomorrow.

That, my friend, is a simple matter of arithmetic.
