    Tuned in for the bottom of the 10th with some optimism. I’ll take some credit!

    I’ll just add that Tony-O gave a plug for Luis Tiant going to the Hall of Fame. That went over very well with the Red Sox fans who far outnumbered us. Most wore number 34 jerseys, so it was cool that Ortiz noted that he wore number 34 as a tribute to Kirby Puckett! (I was never sure if that was true, and now I heard confirmation of it live).

    I was much more sympathetic when I learned that Stanton was from the LA area and went to Dodger games as a kid. And the FOX broadcasters stopped to interview Buxton after the game as a sort of consolation prize.

    Broadcast said 4th Twin to hit an All-Star homer: Is it Killer, Puck, Dozier, and Buck, yes?
  5. Longdistancetwins
    Of course, Buck looks good in any uniform ?

    And Arraez can handle Helsley…

    My exposure to live Twins games was limited to sometimes picking up Herb on static-filled WCCO after 11 P.M. in New Jersey (just in time to hear the bullpen blow a game it would seem), frequent losses to the Yankees (even in those days), and the NBC Game of the Week. NBC showed the Twins fairly often in the 1970s. I also felt that Tony Kubek kinda liked the Twins ?(or maybe he just liked some of the players, many of whom were really good guys).

    Fireworks in my neighborhood just started. Nice timing!

    We stink—that we can’t win these games.
  10. Longdistancetwins
    Just got home from work to this pleasant news. Hope you all had a good time.
  11. Longdistancetwins
    Thanks for the company, everyone. Life can be brutal here in New York.

    “Most unusual win of the year” is how John Sterling describes it. Leave it to the Twins to do this every year.
  13. Longdistancetwins
    Confession from a long-time Twins fan: I can’t listen. I’m following the game by reading the game thread.
  14. Longdistancetwins
    Thanks for sharing your story about Bert. Interesting that some of these booed characters end up in the broadcast booth: Bert, AJ, A-Rod.
  15. Longdistancetwins
    That must have been in Minnesota since I was at the David Wells perfect game at Yankee Stadium a week or so later.
  16. Longdistancetwins
    Wow, but I believe it! Thanks.
  17. Longdistancetwins
    John Sterling now called 6-1 a “substantial” lead. Maybe….
  18. Longdistancetwins
    Twins-Yankees games usually deteriorate when we take a small lead. Let’s break the pattern.
  19. Longdistancetwins
    I like Donaldson well enough, but “Huh?”
  20. Longdistancetwins
    I’m shut out in New York, now that I home from the sports bar.
  21. Longdistancetwins
    Going to a sports bar here in NYC tonight with my New York Rangers shirt and Twins cap. Guaranteed to be a weird night, but hope it turns out entirely in my favor!
  22. Longdistancetwins
    Well, my least favorite piece would be the ticket stub from David Wells’s perfect game against the Twins at Yankee Stadium in 1998. Probably isn’t worth much anyway because the Beanie Baby giveaway was very well attended.
  23. Longdistancetwins
    Should have given the kid the ball: Hal McRae is my least favorite player of all time! But really nice of you to give away the other balls.
  24. Longdistancetwins
    Met up with my White Sox fan tennis partner today; he went on and on about all their injuries (Tim Anderson, etc.) and about how we’d gain more ground on them. I informed him that we were in the same boat.

    Central Park is pretty this time of year. If you don’t mind hills, rent a bike. Or, for an urban park experience, walk the High Line along the West Side. Seems like our weather will be a lot better than Minnesota’s. Have fun.
