Correa makes up for his poor offensive showing with the game winner...

Even more so with Cleveland losing tonight!

A win in 2 hours and 40 minutes after almost being done in 2 hours, 5 minutes. The Twins are getting the bat to the ball. Another nice win.

[Blyleven2011]

Team effort , great come from behind win once again  , Correa comes through  ...

[Sutter50]

Just win it can be ugly ,it can be beautiful, it can be hard, it can be easy but they all count the same

I just googled the best fried chicken from Seattle.  Order up!  You're welcome.

Remember folks, if you're going out for the celebratory Blizzard, Dove chocolate tastes better than their soap.

That looks pretty phenomenal, but I can't go to Seattle without loading up on chowder.

Squirrel still owes me one from June something

Listening to Jeffers with the post-game radio interview, I was glad to hear Jeffers use the word "plethora." It means a lot. 

[SD happy]

I’m guessing Seattle fans are wondering why their closer didn’t pitch in the ninth, but came out for the tenth…….

I guess the tools of ignorance don't apply to Jeffers

J & J are not going any where unless they are traded for a so called ace pitcher, or hell freezes over.

First Twins game/win where I feel happy at the end in a long time.

Roy brought that up as well. I think Servais was hoping to rest his closer but then wound up needing him after all.

I was on the radio -- was the game-winner catchable?

Yes--Hernandez went into a slide trying to make a backhand catch and then pop up, didn't quite stretch enough to catch the ball. He would have had to pop quickly and then make an accurate throw, but it was Donnie Barrels at third. Solano didn't run when Jeffers hit an acceptable bunt. There have been other times when Solano didn't try to take a base that he should have made easily (IMHO).
