So, @Vanimal46 ... what do you think of Astudillo's ponytail?

You've changed your mind??

To paraphrase Homer's exit line in 'The trouble with Trillions',  "I never thought there could be a worse extra innings bullpen than the Twins' , but brother, we found it".

Winning in extra innings seems to be far less difficult than we made it seem to be

This is worth at least one warning point.

It's a pony tail best viewed over radio.

[operation mindcrime]

We did it!!!!!! 

[Vanimal46]

Winnah!

[LaBombo]

So that's it?  The Twins get an extra-innings win, and there's no appeal process or do-over or anything?

Cool!

[USAFChief]

Winnah!

 

Had it all the way! We didn't even need that 2nd RBI walk!!

[Aggies7]

Haven’t lost an extra inning game since May 22!

[USAFChief]

We comin'. We comin'.

[operation mindcrime]

Hopefully Dobnak can last more than 4 innings tomorrow!

  I don't know what happens in extra innings if the Twins score.

You hold your breath and silently curse (insert name of bullpen member of choice here) for about a half hour. 

[wavedog]

Winner!  All it  took was all our best pitchers, 10 innings and 7 runs along  with playing a team with a worse record then us!   Seriously, good pitching by Rogers and Robles in the 8th and 9th inning to hold the tie.   Nice to score some runs in extra innings.

I dream of having flowing locks like Thor, but wasn’t blessed with volume in my hair. I grew it out in college and learned very quickly that my hair is thin and straight. 

Did the same in college, learned the same lesson. 20 years later, now it's all (mostly) gone, so I shave the dome with a razor a couple times per week. This works well, but the only problem with this particular strategy is that I feel I need to have facial hair to "even things out". So now I'm stuck with a beard that I don't always want, but I keep it just so I don't feel like a total cue ball out in the world.

Extended time of Tortuga at 3B is going to be a bad time. 

We might see Sanó over there for a day or two. I’m not opposed to it FWIW.
