Twins get a break that the batter was the ghost of Miguel Cabrera.

Great minds think alike.

I'm not a pessimist, but I would not be surprised at all if Twins lose 5-4.  I'm tired and am going to bed.  We'll see what the morrow brings...

Maybe 4-3, with this ump.

Strikeout Buxton appears to be back, with a vengeance. 

UGH.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

I mean, the Tigers could sign Kirk Gibson to come back and DH after Cabrera retires

If they did, I'd be like "I don't believe...what I just saw!"

Now all we need is

If I noticed that the Twins had signed Stewart I don't remember it. I expect that many derided it as dumpster diving. But this time the scouts found a big-time stud in the scrap heap.

Very impressive, except

The descriptive label should go on top, and

I'm not sure you even needed a label.  It's a game thread, gotta believe most of us would figure out what it is.

[USAFChief]

Fun fact: Tyler Alexander's older brother Doyle pitched for De-troy-it against the Twins in the 87 ALCS

Davey Martinez got tossed this week and then laid on ground to show up where he called it. Now THAT's getting your money worth.

 

 

That's how you do it.

This Wentz dude was a pretty good QB in college at NDSU...in the pros, not so much. Probably a good idea to switch over to baseball.

Big game hunter now.

Home plate ump is bad, but at least he's consistently bad.

Eeyore wasn't a pessimist either.
