And if that's the last I see of Turley I will be eternally grateful.

[Dantes929]

Well, we haven't made the playoffs yet but I am certainly not basing my expectations in a playoff game on how Colon or Duffey did in this one.  Yankees are better and will have home field but we lost 2-1 and 5-2 in games not started by Bartolo.     Yankees favored but hardly a reason for throwing in the towel.    We just need to get there.

It would also surely be sweet to date Jennifer Lawrence

Even sweeter...Kate Upton....steal her from JV.

[Don Walcott]

Turley's ERA actually went up from 10.47 to 10.80.

I'll bet Chapman isn't available today.

That's a space station...

 

The Yankees are fully armed and operational again today.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

LaBombo in Golden Valley, call Dark Star right now.

It's only the 5th inning and we are 8 down with bases loaded. Someone please throw me a positive.  Has anyone else noticed that the umps seem to have a pretty small plate in Yankee Stadium?  This would be the game to to get thrown out if I were catching.

What a disappointment. 

 

Bartolo, Castro, Pickler, should have had a game plan. 

[Mike Sixel]

wow, I went for food. I didn't realize it was only the fifth inning! 

[John Kelsey]

Say it with me folks!

 

"7 left against the Tigers, 7 left against the Tigers, 7 left against the Tigers"

[Mike Sixel]

what would that plan be? early dinner?

 

On the plus side, they hit the third best AL starter pretty well....

"backing in...is still in."

This is shaping up to be a lunch/supper game.....or for me, a day drinking game.

One of the most lasting legacies of the Gardenhire era, to me anyway, is the Twins' profound, collective inability to even resemble a professional baseball team when they play the Yankees.

 

It's as if a bus full of tourists debarked at Yankee Stadium expecting to get a tour of it on an off day, but instead were forced against their will to don uniforms and take the field for a major league baseball game against a Field of Dreams squad of both living and deceased Hall of Famers all replicating their best season in pinstripes.

 

Or maybe it's just me.

I don't know, but one option would be "not get absolutely embarrassed"

[twinsnorth49]

Twins playoff chase.

Yes...tourists.  We are the Minnesota Tourists.

[gocgo]

Wow!  Not a single 1-2-3 inning in the series so far.  That in itself says it all.

[LaBombo]

 

It's only the 5th inning and we are 8 down with bases loaded. Someone please throw me a positive. 

 

The extraordinarily gorgeous weather will force me to abandon any interest in the game and head outside long before the Yankees finish dealing this final, soul-crushing blow of their series sweep?

 

 

That may not have been the kind of positive you were hoping for.  Sorry in advance.

I was going to say that they were ONLY down 8 runs with the bases loaded.  So you were kinder than I was going to be.

[Mike Sixel]

I'm at work people, don't stop posting and entertaining me now!

[twinsnorth49]

Base runners in every single inning of this series for the Yankees so far.

 

Yeah, no issues with pitching at all.

I think I did that in a video game once

[twinsnorth49]

So who's the next reliever the Yankees have better than anyone in the Twins pen?

[Craig Arko]

 

Someone please throw me a positive.

Falvey and Levine have a long term plan to win the World Series year after year, for generations to come, and some day we'll all look back on this and laugh?

[Craig Arko]

Vargas has two infield hits today?
