Nevermind

Was it just me, or did the Royals runner look safe at home?

Looked safe.  Lead foot must have been in air and didnt touch plate maybe

I couldn't tell from that angle

[IndyTwinsFan]

Fulmer clearly doesn't have it tonight. 

[IndyTwinsFan]

I sense a loss coming.  Guessing I'm not alone with that thought.

That's how much interest I've lost in the Twins. …  

The game threads are poorer in your absence!

Seems like Twins have more then their share of sub .200 hitters.  

[IndyTwinsFan]

Yet another round of poor clutch hitting. 

Sigh!

[Parfigliano]

KC tv fun fact...Royals have not won a game all year when down 3-0....as they were in this game

Hmmm...Not sure if compliment or invitation to be overwhelmed with crushing sense of guilt...?

CB Buckner misses 2nd call at 1st in this game

We've missed you, my good man.

 

And yes, you should feel an overwhelming sense of guilt.

One of CB's better games.

[LaBombo]

I feel like this game is putting us on the verge of a breakthrough corollary to Murphy's Law which will state that the chance of an absurd amount of instant replay delays increases in proportion to the insignificance of the game.

I like your optimism.  Or dementia.  Whatever.

[LaBombo]

Based on the size of the crowd in some shots, I would've guessed that the Royals were playing an exhibition game tonight for someone's private birthday party.

I missed the seventh inning stretch; were there pony rides?

We'll probably be doing well to finish above .500.

They announced it as 14,200 something.  That seemed generous

Thanks, fellow Bombo!  It's the healthy kind of guilt that we Minnesotans enjoy.  It's like... high fiber for the soul. ?

 

Didn't track this one down til now, but I'll throw it in anyway...

What we don't know if it was tickets sold of the turnstile count.

And as a full blood Minnesotan, Catholic, and Twins fan, I have already blamed myself for any possible misunderstanding that might or might not have existed between us here
