[Bark's Lounge]

My friend, Mr. Lounge. Have you been watching tonight's mess?

My comrade Glunn. Fortunately I did not watch most of the game, but I did watch a little and keep tabs on what was happening. You should never lose a game in which your starter strikes out 15 batters... never. It seems that the supporting cast let Frankie down tonight quite a bit. Let us erase this one from our memories.

Zack Greinke turned in his fourth straight rough outing on Friday, allowing five runs on seven hits over five innings in a no-decision against the Pirates.

 

Greinke struck out six while walking two in the game. He was in line to pick up his third loss of the week until the Brewers rallied late to take him off the hook.

It will be difficult for me to ever forget how that ball fell out of Span's glove . But even absent that moment that will live in infamy, the Twins' offense remains disappointing.

Was that 2008 or 2009?

Definately 2009, the same year I wrote the post guranteeing the Twins would make the playoffs when they were 3 games out with 4 to play.

 

Man, game 163 was epic , never will forget that night.
