I didn't watch a ton of the Tigers series, but with this lineup, I will definitely be watching!! Good to see some of the other guys get to play!

[twinsnorth49]

I'm at this game and Wednesday's with my boss (an avid Jays fan), for the love of god the Twins need to win this series. Looking forward to seeing Scott D pitch an alternate home game.

[rickyriolo]

twins need to get swept to lock up draft position#4 and with this line-up looks like they are going for it

[Rick Blaine]

No Justin? I was hoping they'd give him chance to hit his 20th home run. Maybe Laffey is a tough match up for him.

[one_eyed_jack]

No Big Canadian in Canada? What gives

[GCTF]

Calling shenanigans, no way a real major league team would intentionally start a lineup like this.

Wow, this reminds me of my one year in the little league minors - I always played the last three innings of the game (in right field) because everybody was guaranteed a chance to play:).

I know, but it just doesn't quite roll off the tongue the same.

This lineup doesn't deserve more than a random flip of the remote. Baltimore-TB is on!

C'mon, who knows if we'll have the opportunity to watch Chris Hermann and the Drewster bat back to back ever again.

[IdahoPilgrim]

Hey, did somebody put Capps in there when I wasn't looking? A closer giving up a home run to tie the game with one out to go?

[GCTF]

Bases loaded, extra innings.

 

Buterrible bats for himself and promptly pops out.

[GCTF]

Twins lose, stunning.

[Brock Beauchamp]

It's in the team's best interest to lose. I'm not shedding any years over a blown save.

 

I'm actually more upset that Mauer had such a lousy game. The batting race is all but over.

[JB_Iowa]

Twins lose, stunning.

 

Meanwhile, Tigers clinch. Didn't look fabulous doing so (Benoit is a disaster right now) but they managed to pull it out.

[one_eyed_jack]

Another loss that can clearly be pinned on Nishioka.

[glunn]

No thread for today's (Tuesday's) game?

Whoops. I got so wrapped up in working on a TD project that I completely forgot about the game.

[one_eyed_jack]

Didn't watch much of this one. Was far more interested in the deciding game in the Lynx-Storm series.

 

Now there's a local team that knows how to gut out a playoff series win.
