You forgot a 2nd pair of underwear, just in case. -
Checklist for a great game thread: - scottz asking if the Twins won yet - Blake and Vanimal go down a weird path - Chief jokes - Chief saying something that prompts Chi to respond "Ick" or "Ish" - Bark's rally rum - North says something Canadian - One "yes" reply to a question(s)

Selfishly I'm hoping the score is 17-0 Twins by the time you turn on the TV

For the love of God Molitor, NO bunts before the 6th inning.

Maybe this will calm your nerves.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2CdJTfGiRCI

Brock is waiting for Brian at the Twins Daily WORLD HEADQUARTERS to celebrate such a notable achievement! He will have a cake, then ask for Brian to cover his uber ride to a bar and watch the game. http://www.blogcdn.com/www.mandatory.com/media/2013/10/grownup-birthday.jpg

Past history shouldn't matter to them... Hell, most everyone in the lineup were teenagers the last time the Twins played New York in a postseason series. New era, no bad vibes!

In honor of Tom Petty, let's "Breakdown" this game... The Twins are "Runnin' Down a Dream" as they try to get the monkey off their back against the Evil Empire. Ervin's already said "I Won't Back Down" to people like Aaron Judge and Gary Sanchez. So hopefully he won't "Surrender" more than a couple of runs tonight. A lot of national experts may say "You Don't Know How It Feels" to be in a playoff game in regards to the Twins. But you know what? "Even the Losers" make it to the playoffs every now and again. And they "Learn to Fly" with the best of the best. So "Stop Draggin' My Heart Around" and get this game underway!

I think injuries can be an excuse depending on if a team's star player is injured or sheer volume of injuries. In either case, you're missing a player who's probably worth 3-4 wins more than their replacement, or eliminates a vast majority of a team's depth. Upon further review, the Vikings aren't there yet to claim injuries as a free pass for Spielman and Zimmer. There's already several teams with over a baker's dozen amount of players on IR.

So sad... Loved him, and his music.

Tom Petty is on life support after suffering cardiac arrest at his home on Sunday

Thanks for the tip! I may do this as a free trial instead of heading to a bar!

Fangraphs (and other national publications) on the Twins

Minnesota Twins featured on The Ringer... "Cinderella in October" -
Jeff Passan is speculating about the Braves' GM news on Twitter. This quoted tweet below feels like the most notable of news coming out right now. "To put it mildly, John Coppolella was not well-liked among his peers. Well-loathed would be more accurate. A lot of schadenfreude right now." Nevertheless, if the minor league roster stays in tact, this will be one of the most sought after job openings in baseball along with the manager opportunity.

Are you KIDDING ME?! You have ????????????????? going 18th overall?! KLaw has him as a 5th round pick at best.... Go back to the drawing board on this one.

I voted: Most improved: Buxton Rookie: Hildenberger (nobody else is close) POY: Berrios (currently it's Erv in a landslide) MVP: Dozier (close race)

You know, MLB.tv made things so easy to watch the Twins when you're out of market. And they make things so god dang difficult to watch a playoff game. Apparently you can pay $25 for postseason games, but in order for it to work, you need a cable subscription..... Sooo, if you have a cable subscription, why do you need to buy postseason coverage on MLB.tv? Seems backwards to me.

If it's on ESPN I guess I'm going to have to go to a bar.... Sigh.

Wow. Must be pretty serious to warrant him resigning. I mean, Preller was lying about player injuries in trades and got a suspension + a slap on the wrist. This must be much more complicated and calculated cheating.

It's not goodbye... It's until next time. He'll be a constant figure in Minnesota baseball with the Gophers and Twins in some capacity.

The Mets are not bringing back manager Terry Collins next year. There are now 2 openings for manager jobs in baseball...

Pittsburgh Pirates 1B John Jaso is calling it a career... He's set for the next adventure in his life, living like a real life Pirate! He has a sailboat and will be sailing the seven seas, looking for treasure! He's also going to help Puerto Rico rebuild, and live his life the way he wants to. He played 9 MLB seasons, and made $17+ MM in his career. Good luck to him and his future endeavors.

The season debut last night was pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty good!
-
Zimmer will most likely get a free pass as well because of the injuries. As far as the game yesterday, the defense did their job containing Stafford. There were a couple of blown pass interference non-calls when the Vikings were on offense. The OL didn't give Keenum enough time most every play. Same old, same old.

Well, it's certainly not going to be as fun to watch this season if Cook tore his ACL and Bradford has no time table for a return.
