And keep Danny Santana on the bench??!?11?

[operation mindcrime]

Well that didn't go so well.

[ashbury]

Grossman and Plouffe make those two plays, right? (On a day they're both in their usual spots on the field, I mean.)

I swear, on the soul of my dog, that when I turned on the game, the first thing I heard was Dick saying "... and the Twins leave the bases full".

Does anyone else feel that Hosmer single to LF was catchable by other LF'ers.

Also, does anyone feel the sun will set towards evening today?

I do, but to be fair to Grossman and honest with everyone else, I wasn't watching. Or listening.

Also, that you thought turkeys could fly.

Yeah I was thinking that as well. Twins!!!

If any one thing could have been funny enough to redeem the '70s all on its own, that may have been it.

Grossman is trying and doing the best he can, that's all we can ask for. It's not his fault he's playing.

[Riverbrian]

Grossman in LF caused that run

 

Gordon in LF took away a run. 

 

The score is really +1 to -1 in my world.

So we're down 2?

 

Seems about right.

Is he hurt?  It feels strange to ask a serious question in the game thread, but there it is.
