Torii ... you idiot.

[glunn]

 

Torii ... you idiot.

It looked like they were sending Sano.

[Ultima Ratio]

Five more runs, and you can let the healing begin.

[glunn]

That was a KEY insurance run.  Now let's get more.

[Squirrel]

 

It looked like they were sending Sano.

No ... the stop was late ... but Glynn put the stop on, he wasn't sending him. Sano is not speedy. Torii needs to be more heads up on that.

[Squirrel]

It should be 6-0 now, thanks to Torii. But I'll take anything we get at this point.

[glunn]

We just got to 6 so maybe Torii can be forgiven.

[Squirrel]

Nope ... it should be 7 and one less out.

[Squirrel]

He'll be forgiven if/when we win this one ... with no extra innings.

[formerly33]

What happened? Escie singled and Torii went to third, forcing Sano to go home and be thrown out by Mr. Good at Baseball? Shouldn't you blame Glynn for sending the runners?

 

(Forgive my ignorance; I missed the play.)

So if we win in the bottom of the 10th on a Hunter homer he will still occupy your dog house?

Glynn didn't send them. that's the issue. He put the stop sign on Sano, but Torii was too close on Sano's heels and was already at third.

Double play to end the inning. I was just thinking Duffey should just throw slow curves from now on, with that huge shadow half way between the mound and the plate, no way anybody could follow that bend.

[glunn]

Masterful pitching by Duffey to get a double play on Trout.

[Squirrel]

Let's just see how it plays out. But let's call it what it was ... a Hunter blunder. And maybe a partial blunder on Glynn for putting the stop sign up so late ... but Glynn wasn't waving them around, either.

"Excuse my friend ... he's a little slow" ??

[formerly33]

Vikes win!!

[Squirrel]

I went past the new stadium in progress ... U.S. Bank Field? Or whatever it's going to be called ... NOT impressed ... at least with how it looks outside. Just a huge, dark gray behemoth. Guess it's better than the Metrodome, and ... it's not finished ... but so far ... not impressed.

Rethought this ... we shouldn't be in the bottom of the 10th without his blunder. We'd have won by one in the 9th.

Stadium. Fields are for Packers.

Yes, but we would have lost by one in the 9th if he hadn't homered earlier on.

Let us all raise our virtual flagons of ale to Tyler Duffey, seven innings of 3-hit, shutout baseball versus a good-hitting Angels team. The dream continues!

He did indeed. Excellent toast!

[Monkeypaws]

This Mr. Duffey and his big yakker might be somethng special.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

So what say ye?

 

Have we a stopper?

[amjgt]

Duffey sporting a 2.06 ERA since his debut against Toronto

[sampleSizeOfOne]

And just in case the loaded bases worried folk...

 

Mauer adds 2 more.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Not too shabby, eh?

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Lookouts up 4-2 in 8th...

 

Kernals down 2-1 in the 8th...

 

Gophers won yesterday 10-7

 

Vikings won today 26-16

 

How are the Lynx doin'? Looks like they lost to the Sparks 81-71...

 

Oh, and Twins up 8-0 in 9th. (One... More... Out...)

[sampleSizeOfOne]

No shut out...

 

Oh well...

 

Finding it hard to care.

 

Is there a Chief about?
