Our swing band is here and warmed up. Ladies and gentleman, take your seats while you listen to our lead singer's beautiful voice!

Ohh yeah, we're getting real CLASSY in here! Let's talk good things today...

 

Jose Berrios: Happy Berrios day! He's been my favorite pitcher to watch for the Twins this year. As this season draws to a close, I realized that I watched probably twice as many Berrios starts than I have for, Gibby as an example. Will he get the nod in New York? We hope so!

 

Closing out the season: There are 7 games left, and the Twins are 4.5 games up on the next WC contender. I keep repeating that because it was unimaginable to say this is a playoff team 6 months ago. I've got my rally monkey ordered for the playoffs.... DO YOU?!

Closing out game threads: Barring my services needed in the playoffs, this is the last start ol' Vanimal is getting this year starting a game thread. For those counting, I'm at 2 years service time now, and inching every so close to requiring arbitration to continue writing! We're hoping to break Bryce Harper's record breaking arbitration contract next season!

 

Thank You: To everyone that writes game threads during the year, and everyone that participates! It really is one of the best threads on the site.... When winter comes, and all there is to talk about is who called Doug M to fire him, well, this will be sorely missed.

 

Sorry for the abbreviated version..... Didn't realize today was an early start for our team! 

LET'S GET A WIN TWINS!

 

That was a cool cover.

 

I keep forgetting how versatile good rock songs are.

Good grief, I get home from church, the Twins are up 5-2, I blink, it's now 10-2.

 

Brad must think he's calling for this when he needs to bring in the bullpen:

Lots of good news, but Buxton is starting to look like the April Buxton. Maybe he could use a day off next week.

He was 5-12 with 4 RBI, 4 runs, 1 steal, and 1 BB in the series coming into today...

Dick thinks Mauer can surpass Killebrew in runs scored next season if he has a similar season to this year. He is 95 runs behind and has scored 65 runs this season. The math doesn't really add up.

He went to high school in Staples. What do you expect? :)

70 RBI club this year--Dozier, Sano, Polanco, Rosario, Escobar and Mayer. Did I miss anybody?

Who's Mayer? My bologna's second name?

Solid win, and we get the Tigers 3 more times to end the season. It looks like the Twins may get a chance to rest some guys before going to NY.

Damn autocorrect. Anyway, my point was that I don't believe that very often a club has that many guys with 70 or more RBI. At least not the Twins.

I knew you were saying Mauer and it was an auto-correct ... I just used it for my entertainment. :)

Hopefully Kepler will hop on, too.
