This is the game thread right? Nolasco has pitched a fine game and is approaching 100 pitches. One would think he would be done, but since the bullpen has suffered so badly, would Gardy consider having Ricky go one more inning?

If I were a closer, my 'march to the mound' music would be the Darth Vader theme.

One of those cute three wheelers they drive backwards down the road would help with that tipping problem!

Another night on the bench, another night of instructional conversation between Steinbach and Pinto on the finer points of catching at the Major League level...

Mind Boggling. And people wonder why some of us want Gardy gone. If this isn't evidence he is not right for playing an building up young players, I don't know what people want.......

Burton is available, so we have that to look forward to.

Heh. Before tonight, Kinsler was 4/6 with 3 doubles against Nolasco

O's just clinched and in the lineup

 

DeAza

Pearce

Peredes

Flaherty

Hundley

 

Would anyone predict an AL East crown with what they have left?

wow ... give credit when it's due ... Nolasco has pitched a fine game tonight.

Myself... I'm easy.. I want World Peace and the perfect Buffalo Wing recipe that I'm still searching for.

Dick and Bert have done everything but nominate Ricky for a statue in TF Plaza! I wonder how Jack Morris feels about no longer owning the greatest game ever pitched in Twins history?

I've been also watching Cubs vs. Reds and it's interesting.

You make it sounds like they are viewing the world through homer colored glasses, which seems unlikely for broadcast professionals.

 

It is nice that he is pitching a good game -- hopefully this will be closer to who he is next year and that much of this season was due to injury/health.

Ok Cubs vs Reds... Not as interesting anymore.

Why do I hate Mauer for not giving Vargas a shot at the cycle?

The answer to that question would probably require a doctorate.

oh, I don't have one of those....

What? How did a flyball drop for a hit with these outfielders?

Here comes a tie game right here.

Willingham catches that.

I do. 

 

I'm a doctor of love.

You can have one. Just memorize a couple of Wikipedia entries in case you are tested. Just put it down on your resume from any school you choose.

 

And Boom... You are a Doctor.

 

That's how I became Dr. Riverbrian.

Willingham picks that up before it stops rolling.

ftfy

Major League managers are addicted to relief pitching and they should all go to Winter Camp to talk about it to a group of therapists who don't believe in pitch counts.

Who is this Nolasco guy?  And why didn't the stupid Twins call him up earlier?

 

That's Nolasc'0' to you.

I think Schafer called off Santana.

 

Santana had the best shot and he slowed up.

Perkins sucks

Signed through 2017.

Well...Vargas gets his shot at the cycle after all.

 

See?  There's always a silver lining.
