In a sense, getting no hit would have been something this team has yet to accomplish.  

Instead, they failed at that too!

The Houston guy had a no hitter but was pulled after 6 innings at 99 pitches, which kinda makes sense

I hope they jump all over the replacement.

It's been more than 50 years since we lost a World series. At least we got that goin' for us.

And there goes the shut out...

 

Be still my beating heart.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Oh right.

RBI Donaldson!!

if we broke that streak next year... i'll take it

Why wouldn't you PH Cave, the lefty, for Sano there? Leave the K king in right on right, instead of bring in the left on right with Cave, who had been hitting in his rehab......

Ah, well ... no chicken dinner tonight

[Nine of twelve]

Drat. So which starter pitched better, the one who allowed an earned run or the one who lost?

O for 4 with 3 K's doesn't do it for you?

Do I need another Joey gif?

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Anyway, thanks for keepin' us company!

 

I'm not sure whether the intro lived up to the epic nature of the game or not....

[insagt1]

Somehow it just seemed right that Sano ended the game with a 'k', Anyone here think otherwise? I think with Cruz gone, Sano is going to be even more lost than he has been so far. If any team even made a small offer for him, Twins should jump on it....but thats very unlikely. (but he probably has Tampa Bay on his speed dial!!!)

The number of Twins who are injured, or away is frightening. So much of their talent isn't available. Kirilloff and Garlick are done for the year.  Refsnyder and Buxton aren't going to be rushed back. Rooker breaks up a no-hitter and this guy has had trouble making contact in most all his AB's with the Twins (small sample size though) Celestino can't hit at all. And so on....

Who else will be gone? Simmons has never fit in. If he goes, he won't be missed. Donaldson? Who knows? The pitchers? Will we get value for them? Kepler? I think he stays. Ditto Polanco. And Garver.
