Too grainy. I shut it off.

Did you try using tin foil first?

To match my hat?

He used all his foil to make his hat.

Edit: ninja'd. Great minds think alike.

[RickOShea]

Is duran toast for the rest of the series, or would he be available if needed on sunday.  I think not.

I, perhaps naively, figured you'd just take the foil from your hat.

[ashbury]

"In play, no out."   Whew, a single this time.

Sorry, all out of eyebleach here.  Maybe Walgreens has some.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Wasn't paying attention.

 

Did Royce steel a base or two?

 

Did predictions use the word "or"?

[ashbury]

Winnah!

Radio running about a full minute behind the Gameday feed.  Annoying.

Makes me feel I know things they don't. 🙂

Hell of a game tonight, Thank You MN Twins

Do they have a choice?  I mean, you pretty much have to go up there and guess and hope.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

We won one nothing, eh.

[Longdistancetwins]

What is this team without Polanco?

[Nine of twelve]

Awesome to have a bona fide power guy. I know some feel Duran should start, but having that weapon in the pen is so valuable.

[AceWrigley]

These winning-by-1-run games are crucial. We're playing like gamers. Wait. What?

I got some eyes if you know to make it from scratch...

Great way to start the weekend though I wish I didn't get heart palpitations when Duran comes in!

 

Been off forum for awhile due to some pretty severe personal issues(House burned down being one of several)but glad to be back on here.

[tlkriens]

That's how to use Duran. I would have liked him to start the 8th outright, but I'll take it. More of that.

We can win by one run the rest of the season and that will be fine by me lol.

So, so sorry.  Happy to have you back and hope the Twins (along with others can bring you joy)

I could see him going Sunday. He threw a lot of pitches tonight, but he's had a lot of time off before that. They've already got at least a split, so winning another is big in order to gain at least two games over the course of the series (four if they win tomorrow). They also have an off day on Monday. 

Better would be to score a couple touchdowns early and make it moot.

No Buxton Correa or Gallo. Team strikeouts 7. Only 6 hits. But it shows they can still win without the big guns. Now go win the series.  Till tomorrow.

Chatted with a Cleveland fan yesterday. He made the same complaints about the Guardians.

.Ow. Sorry to hear this. To echo LDT, hopefully hanging out in this community brings a bit of respite (and maybe some levity) at a time when those may well be in short supply. Thanks for feeling comfortable sharing.

It's almost as if the way they make the outs is less important than the frequency with which they do.
