Sausage, Canadian bacon, mushrooms, and onions. Not bad.

And Im actually a huge hypocrite. I've been very much enjoying this cool, rainy day. I am thrilled not to be watching the Mariners and Braves though!

Nice, call it The Bundy Bunch

[AceWrigley]

Now if we can actually hit the ball beyond the infield.

[IndyTwinsFan]

Now it's starting to get somewhat interesting. 

[AussieG]

That's a tuff call to overturn, Twins unlucky again

I agree winning this series is important but If they only win one they are 2.5 out, so still not over.

5 games in Cleveland next weekend so yes, it's not over.

Weather radar also looks hopeful.  "This too shall pass."

As will we all.

I didn't always pass my classes...

I guess not, as our usual ineptitude with runners in scoring position came shining through yet again.

Like high school, everybody picks on the wimp.

[h2oface]

Leon walks on the 5th pitch if he just doesn't swing, and the ump calls the pitches right. With his average, he should just have the stadegy of not swinging, until the pitchers figure it out.

When will Buxton play?   Is he out of season?   

Hopefully he'll ripen for play offs...

[AceWrigley]

Watching this game makes me think Helen Keller was fortunate. She probably didn't even know the Twins existed.

[AceWrigley]

So, are the Vikings going to be any good this year or is this Lollygagging training camp gonna backfire?

Did they?

Oh, wow! I didn't realize she lived into the 60s, so yes, they did.

[TWTwinsFan]

the Leon swing, looks just like me

Reverse magnetic polarity.

[TWTwinsFan]

if this game is out of reach, let Bundy finish this game, don't even try to waste any arms

[RpR]

Sandy Arraez strikes again.

[TWTwinsFan]

in Taiwan, we call it outs like wind

[AceWrigley]

After 3 innings, Bundy has thrown only 6 more pitches than Quantril.

Lately, it seems like he's become an almost automatic out, ala Sano.

Definitely not what we need from him now.

and 4 more runs 

[h2oface]

We made Quantrill throw all of 10 pitches that inning. And Arraez made him throw 8 of them to lead off.

[h2oface]

Is 1-2 meat better than 0-2 meat?

I'm trying to be positive. ?

[TWTwinsFan]

the hitters who batted under Mendoza Line can't wait to face the Twins pitchers

Minnesota sends Dylan Bundy (8-6, 4.34) to the hill tonight, and one could argue he’d be the Twins first choice to start this big series. Bundy leads the team in starts with 24, and has only given up 5 earned runs over his past 21 innings (a 2.14 ERA). He’s also 4-1 with a 2.96 ERA against Cleveland over his career.

This did look ok on paper

[TWTwinsFan]

I expect Rocco will send Sands or Sanchez to take over

[IndyTwinsFan]

Well, so much for the thought of winning this game.

While I'd like to think I have the confidence we'll come back from this deficit, the truth is that that level confidence is extremely hard to muster right now.
