I've often considered upgrading my $59.95 basic yearly Twins Daily membership in the hope that with the extra revenue, the mods might get an extra week of paid vacation every year.

Make it times fifty-two and I'll take the whole year off for you.  (Screw the other mods.)

 

In other news, Cherry Vanilla with real cherries (lots of them) is my go-to ice cream.  Rocky Road is what I have a lot, too.  For variety, I like some crazy ones like Pistachio and Green Tea and (especially) Black Walnut.  I probably would get tired of Black Walnut after about 10 cartons in a row, but as a change of pace it drives me wild.

 

Now, I'm here for the walk-off win.  Run in the top of the ninth be damned.

Both Dozier and Vargas go deep... I'm calling it.

 

The Vargas home run bounces thru the RF gates.

I like Perkins, but it's been a little bit of a tough stretch lately.

Atta-kid, Santana-zee!

Crap.

The play by play on ESPN.com shows the reliever is H Street, and I suddenly realize he should be pitching in Washington DC.

The age-old question, do you bunt him over?

Crap x2.

I think he's out.

Crap x2.

 Craptacular...

I'll go with safe.

 Craptacular...

Craptain Fantastic.

That's it I am going to bake some brownies

Craptain Fantastic.

And the brown dirt cowboys.

Not overwhelming evidence.

Oof.  They don't come much closer than that one.  Good challenge (or did the umpires call for it themselves?).

Absolutely... I concur.

 

And he could learn a Dupont Circle change.

 

I also think Martin St. Louis should play for the Blues and it bugs me that he doesn't,

 

Miroslav Satan should have been a Devil.

Bullet, dodged.

And the Brown Dirt Cowboy.

So far he's doin' just fine in Minneapolis.

Dozier-zie!  Way to move the runner over to second!

"I'm walkin' here!"

And the brown dirt cowboys.

"And it's one more beer... And I don't hear you anymore"

Plate umps just don't give Mauer the benefit of the doubt on close pitches anymore.  Paul Emmel should get partial credit for the subsequent popup.

I said it last night and I'll say it today, there's probably no good hitter less likely to make a productive out in this case than Joe Mauer, and Dozier is a close second.

Don't forget to wash your hands and leave the fan on for at least 5 minutes afterward...

Okay ... Mauer is gonna win this one for the Twins. I'm calling it now.

 

Nice try.  How is a "call" different from a "jinx"?  I'm a little hazy on the distinction, but I will refrain from calling anything for the rest of the game.

And then strike one on Vargas is even worse.

Here it comes... Vargas should be able to swing freely

That's one hell of a change up
