The Twins were cruising, but they should have floored it 

[MadHits]

Let's get one or two back to set up the walk-off

Ballgame.

first person to say “at least we hung with them” is getting a virtual punch in the nose 

The Twins showed they can play against this Yankees team.  Come playoff time, we'll see a different outcome.

 

Ow! Hey! Cut it out!

We've got some secret Mariano Rivera clone hidden away in a corner of the bullpen that no one has bothered to mention?

Yes.

 

Unfortunately, not on the 40 man roster.

Waiting for the rule change to allow cloning, right afte rrobo umps.

[Montdak]

Ever since Urshela non retouch it’s been one dumb thing after another.  Looks like we’ll have to be happy to beat Toronto and almost New York.

[Aggies7]

At least we won’t have to see chapman tonight

Yup. We're playing the long game.

[Aggies7]

This was one of the most beautiful games I’d ever witnessed. In all seriousness I cannot believe what’s happened. I know I should but I can’t.

What's your problem? Moran has thrown a lot of pitches and is walking batters. Ride or die seems risky when we're still in the game.

Decades long.

[Schmoeman5]

We'll at least we hung with the Yankees. Baby steps. 

[LVTwinsfan]

Rocco looks frustrated……he should be

[Vanimal46]

On a positive note, I treated my dog to a very long walk in the woods earlier this evening and he ate some “muttloaf” at The Block in St. Louis Park while I watched the first few innings unfold drinking beers. Perfect Minnesota night. 
 

[Aggies7]

Team quit.

[RickOShea]

Rocco must feel like a judge giving the jury instructions.  "Will the jury please disregard what you saw or heard from last night's game".

 No we didn’t, they caught us, passed us and left us behind

We know this feeling too well. Doesn’t seem to matter how perfectly they are playing in the early running against NY. It seems like it will always turn into the 4th quarter of a Timberwolves game.

I predict if we get 3 every inning we won't even need the 9th.

If only they'd listened to Chief.

[Aggies7]

The psychological advantage one must get by hitting three home runs to start a game against the opponent’s ace. And then to still lose by a comfortable margin.
