I think the real jinx is that @USAFChiefis in attendance.  That's got to be some bad karma somewhere, no?

Even if for no other reason that we haven't been graced by a Chief joke tonight.

Ahem.

The Twins are undefeated when I'm in attendance. 

If you want to take up a gofundme or something, I will attend every game for the rest of the season. 

Shoot me a PM and I'll let you know where to send the funds.

Half price for military tonight too! You're getting a bargain!

I have a flex plan.  I can take you to 10 games with me.  My kids will not like this arrangement.

Tuned in just in time for the winner. Been a long week with kids in town, a funeral etc. etc.  Tonight I missed the broadcast because my beloved and I finished.”Our Flag Means Death.”  I then introduced her to “True Detective” Season 1.  I stand by my decision.

Take your kids, it'll be cheaper. I'll be tugging on your sleeve asking for another beer every odd numbered inning and to take me to the bathroom every even numbered inning.

You may not like that arrangement, either.

I’ve met Chief.

First....Seriously.....where are all the Pagan haters?   Dude was awesome tonight.  He has NASTY stuff----97 with the heater and that split finger on a 3-2 count was filthy.  Sub 2 ERA----get off his back and let him pitch.  

Secondly....what makes everyone think Buxton isn't 100%???  He's in a slump, pure and simple.  He's swinging at bad pitches and pulling off everything.  To me, it looks like he's trying to hit a homerun on every pitch.  That's got nothing to do with a knee or hip or whatever else they say he has.  Did his body cause the ball in center to clang off his glove?  Hell no.  I'm sick of treating him like some kind of baby. 

Last....it's time to take the training wheels off of Archer.  I blame nobody but Rocco for this.  In his last inning he gave up a walk and a HBP....no hits.  He strikes out the last batter of the 4th.  He's sitting at 72 pitches (which isn't too bad through 4 innings) and he's pulled.  I'm sure he didn't beg out of the game.  No reason he couldn't have gone back out for the 5th.  He looks healthy and strong..  I sincerely believe that he would've been pulled even if he had a no-hitter going  It's ridiculous.  Rocco is absolutely gonna run his bullpen into the ground.
