  1. And in reference to Houston, if the Astros-A's series were best of three the A's would be gone too. Just sayin'.
  2. If you google "the first great dodger relief ace" you get . . . Ron Perranoski. A great pitcher, mentor, and coach who loved the baseball life. We won the AL West in '69 and '70 with Ron as our closer. Rest in peace Sir.
  3. The ability to quickly pivot from sports disasters to arcane movie plot critiques is an important skill in any Minnesotan sports fan's repertoire . . . probably.
  4. If no one is there to watch, does a baseball game really occur? This whole year has been a page ripped from Bizarro World. Too bad the ending felt all too familiar.
  5. Bottom of the 5th inning. Valdez can't find the plate and walks Gonzalez and Arraez. He throws 4 straight balls to Buxton who somehow chose to swing at 2 of them for 2 strikes then ended up striking out. Right there I thought that is the turning point in the game and the Twins won't score another run. They didn't. We lost. Very disappointing. Kudos to Kenta Maeda who someday might even get to pitch more than 5 innings. I fear Brantley the most in their lineup and he didn't disappoint. Go get 'em tomorrow boys.
  6. Prediction: Astudillo - Game-winning pinch-hit single off of Pressly. It could happen.
  7. It's kind of funny that should we split the first 2 games, our season could hinge on the performance of Pineda in game 3. I don't have a problem with that, and after the unadjusted suspension left him with hardly a season, Pineda having a big game would be awesome for the Twins and him personally. Of course, I'd rather take the series in 2. Go Twins!
  8. 182 pitches to get through 10 innings, wow.
  9. But we want them to win E-V-E-R-Y game don't ya know.
  10. I stopped reading after the 1st sentence. I could only think that any understanding I gained from reading this could leave me permanently scarred . . . for-ev-er.
  11. Queue up some tunes from the B-52's tonite so we can have lots of bombas.
  12. Eddie "Big Game" Rosario. That pitch he hit in the 10th to score Cave was a foot outside but he slapped it into CF. This is what an RBI guy does; recognize a pitch he can do something with . . . and do it. Then steals 2B. Wow, we actually manufactured a run. That was a tough error on Sano. You could see that he was stretched out and his weight was carrying him backwards making it hard to squeeze the mitt on Duffy's poor throw. We're half a game back boys.
  13. Entertaining manager, entertaining person. We had a great run with Gardy at the helm, just wish we could of had a little more post season success. Our battles with Ozzie Guillen's White Sox were epic. Thank you Mr. Gardenhire, and God bless you.
  14. Hopefully we can add some Garv sauce to the batting stew. C'mon buddy, burn that lot of no-hit bats somebody snuck in on ya and find some sweet swingin' lumber this last week.
  15. Not weird at all. All Twins fans dislike the Hawk like a bad jar of pickled herring.
  16. If the White Sox go deeper into the post season than the Twins, I'll be rooting for them.
  17. All true, but do you trust Rogers for the rest of the year being able to close out close games? Something is off with him this year and I have to believe his confidence is a bit shaken. I'd give May a shot. I guess if we draw the Yankees in the playoffs its all moot anyways based on past performance (or lack of).
  18. Trevor May - nice 9th inning 1-2-3, K-K-K. That last pitch to Abreu was at 99 mph. He was throwin' gas. I think I roll with May as the closer to finish the year. Clippard and Duffy are just too good in the middle of the game. Serge is good at dishin' slop, but May has been groomin' for the closer roll for a few years now. Let him loose.
  19. Gosh darn it Seth, why do you have to be so rational about these things? Can't we dream of an unheralded rookie picking up our season?
  20. Congrats to Travis Blankenhorn who made his major league debut, turned a DP and got his 1st major league hit.
  21. that was White Sox home field gamesmanship that the umpires let them get away with.
