With one swing of the bat, I think this season is over.

With one swing of the bat, I think this season is over.

Did I miss something? Where the Twins in this race before this game?

[Ultima Ratio]

Walks kill. Learn it good.

[Bark's Lounge]

Aside from what Thome might do in the shower after the game, i hope that he strikes out and/or grounds into double plays whenever he bats tonight.

Good one Glunn. Unfortunately, now I have a picture stuck in my head of this happening.

[snepp]

I'm rooting for Jeff Gray's walk total to pass his strikeouts.

Me too. Not sure exactly, but I think that swing came on April 6th.

[GCTF]

I'm rooting for Jeff Gray's walk total to pass his strikeouts.

pfffft, K/W ratios, dude is 5-0!

[NorthwestTwinsFan]

A 3 run deficit is not exactly insurmountable.

[Bark's Lounge]

I don't know what the big deal is about Jone's 3 run HR. The oposition is going to hit a few HR's against us every game... we all know this. Twins need 7+ R's to win this one.

[NorthwestTwinsFan]

Great at bat by Morneau. Twins MUST cash in here....the season depends on it, apparently.

[GCTF]

D'oh Mitt.

[Top Gun]

"It's not over till it's over!"

[Jocko87]

Apparently the season must continue.

[diehardtwinsfan]

I'm rooting for Jeff Gray's walk total to pass his strikeouts.

Isn't a Jeff Gray appearance pretty much a guaranteed win these days?

[diehardtwinsfan]

wow, Luis Ayala... and when did he become effective?

[DaveW]

Season not over.

[jctwins]

"It's not over till it's over!"

Who said this? I'm skeptical.

[IdahoPilgrim]

Oh, man, 5 innings in 2:24 - and it's only a 4-4 game. This game is dragging (just like the season).

[Top Gun]

Yogi the bear

[NorthwestTwinsFan]

This Mauer guy is actually pretty good.

[IdahoPilgrim]

And the judges' scores are in: 8 - 8 - 9 - 8 - 2 (the East German judge).

[IdahoPilgrim]

Now that's something I didn't expect - an intentional walk to get to Thome?

[NorthwestTwinsFan]

Now that's something I didn't expect - an intentional walk to get to Thome?

I have a bad feeling about this..

[IdahoPilgrim]

Gardy rolled a seven on that one. Gutsy call.

[Top Gun]

Bye bye Thome, Yogi was one of my favorite players, but Joe DiMaggio was the best.

[NorthwestTwinsFan]

Willingham shows off the wheels. Now the O's are walking Morneau to get to Plouffe....interesting.

Is Morneau starting to come back to hiz ole self?

[IdahoPilgrim]

Is Morneau starting to come back to hiz ole self?

And Plouffe has cooled off a little - only two extra base hits in the last two weeks.

[snepp]

Premature Bremergasm.
