Chicago White Sox manager Tony La Russa upset with rookie Yermin Mercedes for not showing 'respect for your opponent' in victory.   Tony La Russa should suspend Yermin for a game.

Sure it wasn't the mesosphre? It was pretty high.

They did hit too though, didn’t they? They were the globetrotters of softball 

They did, and weren’t bad at it. But the show was Eddie. You don’t lose many games when you don’t give up any runs. For instance, MN Twins 2021! ??

Alright y’all. I’ve seen and read this story play out enough. Time to walk the dog and flip on over to the Wild game. May the best team win tonight, @LVTwinsfan

[LaBombo]

Bremer now just actively jamming the pins into his Twins voodoo doll with his commentary: "If Stashak can put up a couple of zeroes, and if [I missed the additional events he laid out, but I assume it had something to do with a once-in-a-millennium astronomical event], maybe the Twins can steal a game back from the White Sox"

 

[Aggies7]

We tried the Uber and we tried the Ober. With similar results

Twins fans openly rooting for the Twins to lose... get busy on those gimmicky home game promotional giveaways, Marketing!

12!

5 innings pitched.

 

Now let us see if we can get the bats going.

Not making anything happen, but 12 outs is usually easier to get than 13...

There they go—to go watch the hockey game...

Only Dick and Smelly could derive that a reliever is going to be successful after seeing him go 4 innings and give up 4 runs on 2 homers.

"So bye, bye, the Twins gave it a try... Took an Uber to the Ober but his fastball was high..."

[Aggies7]

Dick is hoping for the white Sox to hit a “skid” like the twins have. That’s some brutal lack of awareness when speaking about a team that’s scored 46 runs in 4.5 games against you 

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Alass, a long out is still an out.

Yeay, bats! Do the swing?

[sampleSizeOfOne]

3-0 is a smaller hill than last night.

 

Maybe we can climb it.

[Mill1634]

Nick Gordon was removed from the game after going 2-2...call up? Not sure who it would be for..Willians maybe?

Dick and Smelly ?

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

That’s five complete

It’s an Official game 

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Stashek with the K. 11 more to go.

If it’s for a call-up, it’s only a 25 minute drive across town! If it’s a call-up, I would think it’s for Pineda or Ober. 

They will definitely have moves to announce tomorrow and Thursday. 

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Knocks it down. I am happy.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

10 more outs to go...

 

Unless it is called early.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Another half inning down.

 

We have 12 outs to their 9.

 

They have 4 runs to our 1.

 

Let's change that.

I wasn't following the thread today at all; however, I dozed off just now and was dreaming. I dreamt that today's game had just finished and the Twins lost 6-2, so I checked in to see what was transpiring. It might just happen!! (Hey, if we're gonna lose anyway at least my dream could be right.)
