Weird time to have Perkins basically equal his season high pitch count (he threw 28 tonight, and only topped it with a 29 pitch 4 out save against St Louis back in June).

What exactly was Molitor thinking? Not only does it cost us the game, it probably sets Perkins confidence level back a bit.

 

Obviously he was playing the percentages with 4 right handed batters batting 6 7 8 and 9.

Spilled my beer.

Germans are famous for having words for just about everything, but this truly amazes me.

Nice tag, Mr. Dozier.

Now... if we can't get a good punch line, maybe a good conga line will do...

 

(I have it on good authority, punchlines are for suckers)

I see... That's why Chief hasn't posted in awhile. 

[David HK]

Well, at least Feliz is in-  maybe there's still a glimmer.

If you can't laugh in the face of death, what's the point?

We spank the butt of Death with the angry newspaper of our defiance!

 

Ha! I say. Ha! Feel that defiance? Want another? Ha!

YES, YES, YES... MORE!

Damn, I step out for 20 minutes to get some Chinese food, and now everything has fallen apart. Good food tho. Fried rice, spicy chicken and orange chicken. Yum.

Lotus Garden is our jinx goat tonight, you are saying.

Forget Perkins, this is all Mauer's fault for not getting on base.

You all may borrow my mantra ... 'It's only a game, it's only a game, it's only a game, it's only a game' ... says one who may not have a job to go to after Tuesday.

Well, and Molitor for bringing him back for another inning. Well, and Perk for just not having it. These things happen. Very unfortunate timing.

Anyway, thanks for the company!

 

I take the blame for premature chicken dinner... Next time i'll just have eggs.

 

G'night all!

[DaveW]

Would love to hear anyone defend Molly or Terry Ryan after this abortion tonight.

[David HK]

What a waste of a great opportunity.  Fien, Perk, and especially---  Molly.  Thanks, fellas.

Sorry to hear that. And yes, it really is only a game. Life is much more difficult.

I just got a copy of A Small book of Grave Humour.

 

I'll probably read it tonight, and laugh somewhere whilst readin'...

You can sit dispassionately on the sideline and say that 2015 never really was destined to be our year anyway.

 

Or you can root for the team to achieve the goal of making the post-season, and take this loss as the stinging disappointment that it is.

 

My head told me weeks ago to pick the first option. I'm still glad I went the other direction though. It's sometimes difficult to find real emotion in mundane daily life, and sports sometimes supplies it.

 

_{^{/ Better, at least, than seeking out someone who brings drama into your mundane daily life for you.}}

This sort o' thing reminds me i'm still alive, and i'm glad o' that.

 

Also it doesn't hurt to credit the other team. They did kinda tag us for double digit hits and all.

[mikecgrimes]

Between the twins and the wild I don't know if I could be any more annoyed by former gophers.

You can move to Bisbee, Arizona where I and supposedly 27% of the population don't have jobs. But seriously, I hope you aren't going to lose your job. Unless it was destined to be, of course.

Twins blow a 4-1 lead late and lose 6-4. Jets blow a 3-0 lead with 7 minutes to play and lose 4-3 in OT.

 

Seriously, why does whatever higher power that runs this Universe hate my sports teams so much?

[AlwaysinModeration]

Boyer, Cotts, Perk, and Jepson.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayieeeeeeee
