Should have scored way more there.  Shame on Gimenez and Buxton.  Good on the rest of 'em!  Polanco's really heating up!

The good news: The Twins loaded the bases again.

 

The bad news: The Twins left the bases loaded again.

Great to get 3 runs, but man, you had a chance to do some damage and we have Gimenez and Buck up there...somewhat predictable results.

I liked this only because of how painfully true it is.

I wonder if Rosario is ever given the take sign. Is there such a thing as the take sign?

Baltimore Color Guy: "I don't think Berrios is as good as his numbers right now".

 

Wait, you're saying Berrios is NOT the greatest pitcher in baseball history?  Bold.

Could have locked up the game there with a couple hits from those guys.  They failed miserably.  On the plus side, the way Tillman's pitching they might have another chance with the top of the lineup.

Along the same lines of the pranks mentioned earlier, baseball teams have traditionally had a prank where they send a clubhouse boy or new bat boy to the bullpen to get the key to the batter's box.  Stories I've heard about this happening never cease to be funny.

And once again, Mauer fails to drive in a run.

During college, I worked at MSP airport as a baggage handler.  Once we had a new guy, and told him the next flight had a number of oversized bags, and we would therefore need a "bin stretcher" (a bin being the name for the baggage compartments in the bottom of the plane).

 

We took it to the next level by letting him know that we didn't own one, so he would need to go to United to borrow theirs.  Once he left, we called United, told them the gag, and had them send him onto another airline.  An hour and 6 airlines later, he returned, very embarrassed he was unable to complete the task set for him.

 

This sounds shockingly like the breast plate stretcher...

Which reminds me of the time in college my fraternity brother got drunk and started telling women he was an "FBI".  It went well--until it didn't.

If right now means this game, Berrios is perfect. . . .  So he's wrong about that.

Man these Baltimore guys are just as bad as ours.

 

Baltimore play-by-play guy: "Well, last year, Berrios was 21.  This year, [pause for effect] he's 22."

I don't know.  I'm not convinced that Bert would have gotten the math correct.

I've liked this Polanco kid since the first moment I saw him when they called him up from single A ball. He's just a pure ballplayer.
