Folding in the late innings again.

Key word being "again".

Now I wonder if they let Duran pitch the 8th since I am assuming if they have the lead in the 9th Jorge Lopez tries to close it

Are they stopping at 2?

Well I was wrong, and glad to be so!

[USAFChief]

That last pitch was nasty.

[Beast]

Duran is unreal.  What an incredible pitcher.

[IndyTwinsFan]

Duran = Escape Artist.  At least for today.

r.h. are hitting  about. 155 and L.h . 355 against Fullmer,   Rocco pleez explain

I assume Theilbar isn't available. Would rather have kept Jax in than use Fullmer.

The new nasty boys: Lopez and Pagan!.   Probably,  just forget that.

God help us all!

Kepler's butt should be tasting some pine, right now.

[h2oface]

DO NOT RUN FOR KEPLER!

You would think that one wouln't even have to say that.......

Wow. scored a hit. I guess that is really not unusual for the charity workers scoring these days.

[RickOShea]

that weak hot, doesn't absolve his poor play.

Fullmer getting tattooed.

Well, we just used our best relief pitcher to get out of that jam...Duran is awesome! Now, Rocco will throw T-Bar or Lopez in there to blow the game for us again. 

[RickOShea]

The Kepler Effect.  An  athlete regresses as time goes on.  It becomes a habitual regression.  He mopes around and fails to perform normal functions.

RALLY!!!

Very cautiously optimistic, as we tend to choke big time in these situations. 

[Montdak]

I’d like to know the percentage scored in SF situations the last two months or so.  I’m sure it’d make you sick.  A mental block?

Which means 2 players stranded typically.

Bingo!

[RickOShea]

I heard rocco was upset because  someone hid his pc under an IKEA catalog, in the crapper.

Probably not good, but this most recent in the 8th wasn't a sac fly situation. 1st and 2nd.

[USAFChief]

Send Gordon and try to steal a run.

[RickOShea]

Great play by Kep.  Heads up reaction.  My man comes through, again.  Twins' MVP, for sure.  Max providing the max.

("Hey you, get away from my computer.  What are you typing?")

[rwilfong86]

A nice gifted run!

Or they can gift us one on a wild pitch. 

[tony&rodney]

Wow. The White Sox give it up but the Twins cannot help themselves at all. Down to the late pitching now.

[IndyTwinsFan]

Duran out for the 8th?  I'm shocked!
