    The Twins took two steps forward toward the goal of winning the division during the series of games against the Sox. Unfortunately, after that second step, the Twins paused and, well, Cleveland decided they need to keep pace. It's hard to watch when one can almost touch or see the Twins with the division title. *So what if I had to reach a bit to fit in this song. On the upside, if the Twins keep trucking on they should win the division. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qaQ8r-SwR2c Now, KC is in town and the Twin will need to keep moving on toward a division title. And, with that, another chapter in series game thread openers comes to a close. Please stay tuned, as there more thrilling chapters to come! And now, for that which we all have been waiting for, some stuff to ponder: *A portentous list needs a pretentious opening. 1. Shag carpet: Charming relic or insanity disguised as fashion? 2. Platform shoes: Fashionable or unconscionable? 3. Bell bottom pants: To die for or to die of embarrassment for? 4: Pet rock: Clever fad or fad foolishness? Pitching for the Twins: Kyle Gibson Pitching for KC: Mike Montgomery 5. Play ball!

    I became a believer in Arraez when he came in to pinch hit for Schoop with an 0-2 count and worked a walk. One of the most unbelievable At Bats I have ever seen.

    I started typing this thread and, through the magic of hitting the wrong keys, managed to lose everything I'd written. My loss is probably Twins Faithful gain. The Twins, after taking two from Cleveland in Cleveland suddenly seemed to remember they were guests and promptly gave back a game. I'm not sure where Miss Manners comes down when it comes to sports etiquette but it seems to me that, in pro sports, guest or not, sweeping the leg is called for. Now the Twins return home and the lineup is slowly returning to health and starting to contribute that which we've missed these last few games. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Q3uPysQaZY On paper, this looks to be a mismatch. However, the game is not decided on paper so, let's hope the Twins get the job done against the White Sox. With that, some things to argue, I mean, flame each other, I mean, discuss politely over tea and crumpets with pinky finger properly extended. 1. Crescent Rolls or Croissants? 2. Earl Grey or Jasmine? 3. Caribou or Starbucks? 4. Popover or Muffins? Lineups: Jose Berrios ® 1. Luis Arraez (L) 2B 2. Jorge Polanco (S) SS 3. Nelson Cruz ® DH 4. Eddie Rosario (L) LF 5. Mitch Garver ® C 6. Jake Cave (L) RF 7. Miguel Sano ® 3B 8. Marwin Gonzalez (S) 1B 9. LaMonte Wade Jr (L) CF Reynaldo Lopez ® 1. Leury Garcia (S) CF 2. Yoan Moncada (S) 3B 3. Jose Abreu ® DH 4. Eloy Jimenez ® LF 5. James McCann ® C 6. Matt Skole (L) 1B 7. Danny Mendick ® SS 8. Yolmer Sanchez (S) 2B 9. Ryan Goins (L) RF 5. Play ball!

    You say that like you're a moderator or something.

    Well, crud. Still, though, good series in Cleveland.
  10. Blake
    Very disheartening. Twins took the lead yesterday and the fielding didn't slack off. Today? However, as we all know, this team isn't out of it until the game is actually over.
  11. Blake
    LaMont Wade goes deep. Just as Baldelli expected.
  12. Blake
    Hmm, in reading through the comments, perhaps it's been a team effort, which means the entire team should be an MVP? Ehire hit the game winning home run against Verlander. Sano's slam was huge. Perez shutting out Houston was huge. The last start by Berrios was huge. Cruz getting the Twins within striking distance last night was huge. Rogers figuring it out was huge. May figuring it out was huge. Duffy figuring it out was huge. Then, the FO bringing up Arraez, which was completely unexpected was huge. Baldelli's "protect the players and even keel" seems to have been huge. The Twins staying in the race, while losing a bunch of key players at the same time, says a lot. This team has had so many memorable moments all year, trying to single out one thing and player that stands out is hard. Yes, I mentioned Cruz, but, rightly so, the addition of Romo was mentioned. I remain cautiously optimistic the Twins win the division. Crud, I just wrote a game thread opener I should have saved.
  13. Blake
    Cruz. I think his presence has done a lot to help people like Sano figure it out.

    Interestingly, this is still true.

    The Twins have a reliable bullpen. "I'll take words I wouldn't have typed 6 weeks ago for $500, Alex.

    Who?

    Double header sweep gets the broom gif!
  19. Blake
    Let's hope so.
  20. Blake
    Thorpe is officially off the hook for this game. Brilliant managing, Baldelli!
  21. Blake
    Yes!
  22. Blake
    A sack fly that winds up in the seats!
  23. Blake
    Okay, Twins, let's do what Cleveland couldn't in the first game!
  24. Blake
    Yo, North!
  25. Blake
    Darn, short three bases.
