  1. It is, as they say, why they play the games. I think behind Ervin it might be possible to beat the Yankees in the WC game. After that overwhelming good luck has to kick in to advance any further.
  2. He scored. Have some Scooby snacks.
  3. One simple stat worth mentioning: the Twins have seven players with enough plate appearences to qualify. The only spots missing are catcher and DH. This implies a stability on the field that's been missing for a while.
  4. Gotta be Mauer, after his past several seasons.
  5. I do not remember that one. The notion of having Blyleven and geometry mentioned together does sound pretty comical, though.
  6. Hopefully Sano comes back with some degree of effectiveness and Kepler gets hot. Could make some noise in the after party with all these bats. By the way, LaVelle tweeted he thinks Gibson should start a WC game.
  7. So when my nephews were small and we'd walk them back to our house after school for the afternoon, one time the youngest was telling us about the strange pet one of the families in the neighborhood had. They said it was a pet wolverine. This struck us as unlikely in the city limits, and we'd never seen a wolverine up close before. We had them and their group of buddies take us to the house in question, so we could view this ferocious creature. It was an armadillo. Also unlikely in Minnesota, so exotic.
  8. First episode of the Ken Burns Vietnam series showing on PBS right now.
  9. Today may be the most important start (to date) of Gibson's career.
  10. Then the problem needs to be worked, like Buxton and Rosario have overcome many of the things holding them back. Will he be able to do this from the bench? I'm skeptical.
  11. Now Kepler needs a chance to do the same. He should play in all the remaining games.
  12. XXL Big Sexy shirts sold out for tomorrow. Should be a pretty large crowd. And of course, pub crawlers pouring in on Saturday.
  13. I submit if the Twins are going to be anything more than one and done in the playoffs, they will need to be that team that gets 'hot' at the end of the season. Perhaps fueled by a resurgent Miguel Sano. No reason why they couldn't do so, but you never know. Otherwise I think we get nine extra innings, and then wait for Spring.
  14. Much like the 87 and 91 squads.
  15. I can't begin to say how big a disappointment that 8th inning was.
  16. Help me, Obi-wan Big Sexy. You're my only hope.
