Good stuff

[Game7-91]

A hit with risp! We are on a roll tonight!!!

[RpR]

Twins have scored 3 runs in the 7th inning, does Baldelli allow that?

If the Twins were to come back and win their division, they may end up drawing Seattle in the Wild Card round. Think about that. Battle of two teams who haven’t won a playoff game in 15+ years

Or they could be a wildcard and play 3 in Cleveland

[Tlaker]

C’mon Tigers

Must have made an exception for this game.

Kepler,  after a 4 pitch walk you swing at junk,--  Pathetic at bat

We finally have a comfortable lead.

 

I'd like to see Sands for the last 2 innings, we haven't seen him in a while.

I like that scenario the best out of all of them. The Twins would actually have a chance to win that series

Each there own

Greatest play ever. Laudner to Gaetti picking off Darrell Evans at third

[mrtwinsfan]

Been awhile seeing a big lead late in the game, Thank You Twins

[RickOShea]

Or the deking out of Lonnie Smith @ 2nd base.

[h2oface]

Leon seems to be a surefire bunter. I would have called a suicide squeeze just for pratice.

He did his job got an rbi, give him a break

[LVTwinsfan]

1st place in the AL Central is a hot potato

[h2oface]

Fulmer could use some intensity.

[TwinsCD]

Gimme that...for an easy DP

[Rick Blaine]

Is this set up for Pagan in the ninth?

A true classic!

Yeah that could only happen to Lonnie Smith

I hope not!  Would rather see Sands than Pagan.  Actually would rather see anyone but Pagan. 

[LVTwinsfan]

4-3 b 9 in Cle. 

[LVTwinsfan]

Gotta make a better throw there

[TwinsCD]

That will go down as a hit??  Is the official scorer trying to finish off a sentence that involved charity work?

[LVTwinsfan]

They gave Arraez a hit

[notoriousgod71]

Hit

[LVTwinsfan]

Bremer wants to take Arraez’s hit away from him. What’s wrong with him
