Welp. Tomorrow is another day. With another game. And another pitcher...

Not over until it's over... C'mon Gordon!

They pinch hit for him, didn't they... That didn't work out so well.

Pssst. Pro tip: Don't get picked off with the bases loaded...

Did we want some motivational discussion stuff in the vein of an intro? What's your favorite Mother Goose poem? I am not sure i know which old nursery rhymes are Mother Goose, or other similar authors. In fact i probably know a Space Child's Mother Goose better...

I was going out on a limb... Good to know i got company.

Um... Yes?

Nice contact. Right at the fielder. Oh well.

Pssst. Quiet please., Arraez is batting.

How many would you like? I'll see what i can do...

3-2 entering the 7th. Another impossibility, a missed throw to first leading to a run of the unearned variety. We can have nice things eventually.... Just not now.

And yet it happened... Any other possibilities you see? If you eliminate all other possibilities...

He also mighta been trying to draw a throw, in the hope it was errant and runner on 3rd could trot home. It is a fine line to play, as he did succeed in drawing a throw. Sadly, it was on target.

Yes. The base running mistakes end when we get out. He was probably thinking, is this a big enough lead i can score on a shallow single? Oh @#! he's picking me off!

At least Sanchez didn't disappoint us. Urshella picked off 2nd base.

Cave takes a walk. Up to Sanchez now (bases loaded, 2 out, top of the 5th, CPU)

There was also some Sock of the Red variety close to them? Has he dropped off pace?

Arraez only 1 for 3. Is he holdin' Judge at bay? I ain't been paying attention.... Anyway, come on Cave!

Tie game

One moment... turning the game on. Sorry i wasn't paying attention... I coulda thrown something together.

xmas cam early for me, eh?

Toobas are good too...

Hoping for the best! I recall visiting my grand parents on Sanibel long ago...

Note to self. Post in this thread sometime next year. ("Bump" in the parlance of our times)

Dear Santa, I have tried to be good. I didn't make fun of Sano when he struck out a bunch. I didn't yell and curse when Royce Lewis got injured again. I even tried not to miss the Austudillo antics. I have followed Twins baseball games as much as i could, given all the things i try to get done. I've even remembered to write game thread intros. Perhaps they have been a little week in actual game info. I don't even know if Judge caught up to Arraez in the batting race. So please Anyway, since i have been oh so good, and i still don't know what i should ask for, as my stocking isn't large enough to fit a fully healthy Buxton season, or a good veteran free agent signing with leadership. Can you at least give me an exciting game to follow today, and a good thread with lots if people contributing? Even if there might be a few jokes from Chief sprinkled amongst them? May the best team win! Twins: 0. Joe Ryan (R) P 1. Jose Miranda (R) 1B 2. Carlos Correa (R) SS 3. Gio Urshela (R) 3B 4. Gary Sanchez (R) DH 5. Ryan Jeffers (R) C 6. Gilberto Celestino (R) CF 7. Jake Cave (L) LF 8. J. Palacios (R) 2B 9. Mark Contreras (L) RF or Tigers: 0. T. Alexander (L) P 1. Akil Baddoo (L) LF 2. Riley Greene (L) CF 3. Javier Baez (R) SS 4. Harold Castro (L) 3B 5.

So i guess there are no consequences for disappointing me.
