Is anyone watching this battle to see who has the worst team in the AL?

Yep, I am. I'm cheering for Mauer and Parmelee (and he's not even playing tonight). Don't care too much about the rest.

[JB_Iowa]

From time to time. Mostly watching the Tigers & A's

I'm rooting for Hammer to go ape**** over the last two weeks, 40 is still within reach.

[Brock Beauchamp]

Are there even 5,000 people at this game?

[Brock Beauchamp]

Joe Mauer is good at teh beisbol.

[snepp]

BABIP unkind for Doumit.

[Brock Beauchamp]

BABIP unkind for Doumit.

 

Yep. He ripped that ball into left. Too bad it was right at Carrera.

[Brock Beauchamp]

I don't understand how the Indians batters can see with all that shrubbery in centerfield.

Thumbs Up, +1, Word, Cosign.

[glunn]

And here we go again with giving away unearned runs.

Tell me about it! Stadium architects including local flavor in the ballpark design - what nerve!

[Brock Beauchamp]

Plouffe should have tried to catch that ball with his face. It might have been more effective.

 

Trevor still isn't used to being ~10 feet closer to the plate... Not entirely unexpected. Hopefully it's something he can shore up during the offseason and Spring Training.

[Pius Jefferson]

I feel a bit like Dick watching to see if Mauer can win another batting title.

[JB_Iowa]

Please let Duensing stay in the pen next year.

 

No more yo-yo

[IdahoPilgrim]

Man, watching the Twins can be a real downer sometimes.

[snepp]

You're being awfully generous with the usage of "can be" and "sometimes."

[IdahoPilgrim]

You're being awfully generous with the usage of "can be" and "sometimes."

 

Usually I try to look for the best in people rather than the worst.

 

Sometimes that's easier than others.

[IdahoPilgrim]

I'm trying something different tonight. I've got the audio off, and I'm listening to Tchaikovsky's Swan Lake while watching the TV.

 

The novelty has been interesting if nothing else.

[Lesser Dali]

Even though Plouffe is not the Plouffe of June. Pinch running for him in that situation is going to come back to haunt the Twins.

[snepp]

A replay tech could have gotten that call right in a matter of seconds.

Awesome - we get to watch more of this. Overtime!

There might be 500 fans left at the game.

There might be 500 fans left at the game.

 

 

I wonder if that's more or less than the number still watching on TV.

[snepp]

That one's for you Chief.

[Guest USAFChief]

That one's for you Chief.

 

I came in for supper break at work, turned on the mlb feed just in time.

Impeccable timing.

[nicksaviking]

I know the batting title isn't as exciting as it was when I was a kid, but Mauer is now just 5 points behind Trout for the league lead.

 

Edit: Miguel Cabrera went 3-4 today and is up to .333. Still, nine points are easily made up in 14 games.

[Brock Beauchamp]

FWIW, I think Miggy just sealed the MVP. 3-4, two homers, six RBI, batting average now up to .333.
