Didn't know that was possible.  I guess it was.

Player of the game: morris 

He seriously helped keep the top of the 10th squeaky clean.

[jaimedude]

Kriedler had a key late single, and great throw home late. Both impact plays that should not be over-looked

[LA Vikes Fan]

Player of the game was Andrew Morris. Came in with the ghost runner on second, made the great defensive play, and shut them down. He’s been inconsistent but he may be a keeper. Has the closer mentality. 

[stringer bell]

I, for one, was very glad that Ryan Kreidler was playing shortstop for the infield roller with one out in the top of the 10th. He made the play look easy. I've seen a number of Twins infielders make that play look almost impossible.

I'd call this the worst blown lead in Twins history, but to each his own.

This was the infamous Gary Gaetti "It’s hard to throw with both hands wrapped around your neck" game.

Yep! Way more on the line in that Cleveland series…so, I’ll go with that. Not just the big Gaetti error, etc…but all the zeros put up by the Twins after going up by 10.

[stringer bell]

When the Twins win games like this, with so many players contributing, I really want to believe. However, I also saw the eighth and top of the ninth and that still leaves me unconvinced that the Twins are capable of contending.

Mustta been a day game after a night game…or a day game after a day game…or a night game having come in off the road…or a get-away game. Joe was resting.

Orze's agent is already filing a complaint that his client wasn't credited with a Hold for his work tonight. 

Bradley's agent is filing a Civil Suit for damages.

[Saxophone Joe]

All roads lead back to King Kreidler! So happy for him.

And I honestly couldn’t care less about the bullpen implosion. Whatever it took to finally get a walk off, I’m here for it.

Not technically, but tonight it was just bad enough.

[Western SD Fan]

On a different note, I see the crowd really packed in to see the end of the game!  Maybe the concert had something to do with it. 🤷‍♂️

[Tlaker]

It had everything to do with it!!

[Tlaker]

Any front office that said a bullpen is easy to find and then proceeds to produce this….. should be shown the door immediately. Take the key cards first and don’t let them in without security walking them in and out!

I remember listening to that game on the radio, and getting a sinking feeling that “surely they can’t lose this, right?”

That's...

 

I've not considered "that's" for its humorous content before...

I assumed it was a contraction... but what if it is possessive? The joke belongs to that? Maybe that is how come i don't understand it, some sort of inside joke of that? No wonder i don't get it.

 

If only it were a contraction, for then i could replace it with that is.. That is the joke... And now i am perplexed. Ga what is so funny about that? It has a hat... Funny hats maybe?
