And Colome creates the suspense to keep people tuning in....

Is it too early to yell "JACKPOT!" with Joe Ryan?

Tonight's line looks just like the numbers he put up in the minors: hard to hit, few walks, lots of Ks.

Shhh, don’t jinx it!

[Brock Beauchamp]

Yeah, so, about this Twins team. I think they may not be very good.

[Winston Smith]

Hope they bring back Colome and Simmons next year. Quality pick ups.

[mnfireman]

We have not learned much in almost 40 years....

And he gets credit for a save.....Rolaids Fireman of the year Award.....

Colomé had it all the way.

[stringer bell]

Ho-hum, another Columé save.

Colome not only pitches poorly, but he is just absent when it comes to the runners. Donaldson has a poor throw to first with plenty of time.... Twins were lucky they didn't waste this game. Talk about a horrible plate umpire. Bring on the robot eyes!

[Squirrel]

Well ... that was more interesting that it needed to be

The run scores regardless of where Donaldson's throw is, they still got the out......

Diplomatic way to put it.

Acknowledged. Not the point. Sloppy is the point. And it was definitely not the throw even Donalson wanted to make with plenty of time. That is the point.

heh ... wasn't trying to be diplomatic ... but I probably should have put interesting in quotations ... that was more 'interesting' than it needed to be

I blame Baldelli and Gersson Rosas.

I don't get understand where you're going with this. Donaldson made the play, the run scores even if its a clean play. That's right, trade him because he isn't worth what he's being paid....

To be honest, I'm not sure they'll even have a .500 season.

Nobody suggested to trade him - except you. I like Donaldson a lot and am definitely a Donaldson apologist. I just felt we were very very lucky and mentioned a couple examples why. The rest is your thought process, not mine. Enjoy the win. I am.
