Alright... I gotta hit the hay.

 

Bring a win home for me... You night owls.

 

I disagree.  Where's the bag?  In fair territory.  Where do you have to run to touch it?  Just saying....

 

 

I'm totally with you on that.  But in Nunez's case, he was still a good 6 feet from the bag and there's not much wiggle room for that with the running lane is there.  If he's a step from the bag, then there's more of a beef.  From a home plate umpire's perspective (and that's his call), he's looking right down the baseline and he sees Nunez FAR outside the running lane and thus makes that call.  It's always the first thing I'm asked if I happen to make that call.

 

Are you going dressed as a Twins player? Or are you going incognito? Personally, I never wear any sports gear. I'm there to watch, not cheer or be SEEN.

I always wear my Twins jersey, even if the Twins aren't playing.  The only exception is if I go to games on consecutive days - Twins jersey the first game, Twins t-shirt the second.

If Gibson "Milones" this outing we can all go to bed early

Five singles for the first 10 batters.  Doesn't look good.

Speaking of first baseline plays, did anyone see that play in Oakland when Rosario?? avoided a tag by running/diving to first only outside of the running lane?  Thought he got away with one.

 

Gibson really making it tough on himself.

wasn't that last pitch usually a joe west strike

Don't worry guys, we got Pelfrey going tomorrow

Bases loaded, none out for Albert. We could all get some extra sleep. Pujols is in scoring position at the plate.

 

  Hope he doesn't pitch to contact with this guy.

Way to give up extra days of rest molly. Working like a charm so far

time for a Gibson DP

If you wash everything in the same load, eventually, you don't have to worry about white, black, green, etc.

Tip for Brian. Hand wash your finest linens and delicate unmentionables in the sink!

Would have rather seen Hicks take an angle on that ball.

What kind of throw was that?

I guess you can't be too upset with bases loaded no outs and pujols up and only giving up one run.

  Mrs. Brian probably doesn't want his unmentionables anywhere near the sink.

That was very un-Joe

I didn't realize Shoemaker was this nasty

That was not a very fun half inning.

 

I didn't realize Shoemaker was this nasty

He isn't

Boys look sunburned and hungover at the plate.  How about an approach?

I think the Twins would be in tough to get a hit against Willie Shoemaker tonight.

So how long until my phone gives me an alert of Shoemakers no hitter in process?

What is Gibby's (pitcher) BABIP tonight? I think it's about .545 right now.

Gibby just playing rope a dope tonight, he's got this.

Uh, phrasing.......phrasing.

OK, I'll give it one more inning, then off to bed.

I'm saying never... now

 

We have contact!!!
