Well, this one ain't over-  although it's looking more over than it did a bit ago.

[Hrbowski]

I think the Twins are being nice, and don't want the Vikes to feel bad about being the only pack of losers in the Twin Cities.

Thanks for reminding me that I get to watch those bums dry hump their way up and down the field tomorrow.

 

But hey, big 10-7 win for the gophers over Kent state. Yeesh.

I do enjoy every opposing base runner seeing this sign against our pitcher/catcher this year:

I touch my sense of humor all the time.

[wavedog]

Plouffe - and we are on the board - how about 7 runs in the 7th

[Craig Arko]

I feel exactly the same when going to the theatre to see what that hack Shakespeare wrote this time.

[notoriousgod71]

The irritating this about how this season is playing out is this should be a learning experience for our younger players. Unfortunately the only young guys that we play regularly are Sano, Rosario, and Buxton.

 

 

[David HK]

I wanna see a comeback here, just for the pub crawl folks.

Rosario by any other name would still triple over Trout's head...

Concur.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Hughes comes out of the pen.

 

What's that mean?

After this day of baseball a pub crawl after the game should be in order.

[spinowner]

Mike Trout is good at baseball

[Turd Furgeson]

 

Rosario is 2 years older than buxton yet looks 7 years further along. Not what I expected from the "can't miss prospect"

 

2 years is like an eternity at that age. 

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Trout is ready to greet Hughes, alas.

 

5-1 CBU.

 

3 guesses who's ahead.

[Aggies7]

That's the good thing about Hughes this year. Starting, relieving, doesn't matter. Dude is consistent.

[David HK]

I'm trying to get in touch with my inner guy-who-would-have-been-ecstatic-with-a-.500-season dude from back in April.  

 

Sheesh, that took a load of hyphens.

 

Trying to keep the perspective that we're contending a year or two early, and enjoying this surprise WC chase-  but that doesn't mean I ain't living and dying at a playoff run, and cursing Molitor's bones with gusto anyway.

[Aggies7]

True, but lofty expectations are a mother. Gotta be more productive than sub .200 even at this early point with all the talk surrounding him.

[Winston Smith]

"Nobody likes to hear it, because it's dull, but the reason you win or lose is darn near always the same - pitching."

 

Earl Weaver

 

Not funny but true!

 

[sampleSizeOfOne]

That's the good thing about Hughes this year. Starting, relieving, doesn't matter. Dude is consistent.

He allowed fewer runs on the DL...

 

But yeah, he doesn't fluctuate, and he keeps at it.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Oh yeah,

 

Looks like Biloxi got an insurance run in the 6th...

 

I hope the Lookouts make 'em cash in on the policy, or something.

 

2-0 entering the 7th.

 

CBU

[Craig Arko]

I tried touching my inner self but people started to stare.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Conga conga conga.

 

The line is startin'...

Dave W got his Vegas money by knowing we'd do better than most people thought. Now if he'd just buy us all drinks with his winnings...

[notoriousgod71]

Santana being our main pinch hitter is criminal.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Hicks!

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Hicks!

Trying the ol' baltimore chop.

 

Alas, not high enough...

 

And i guess they were coincidental, good hits with exclamation points and names.

 

It was worth tryin' though.

[Aggies7]

Santana being our main pinch hitter is criminal.

I think the state of the final wild card race is even more criminal. What will this be, 12 straight combined losses between the twins and Astros?
