yikes mon!

Good enough.

Let this be a lesson to...um,... Jaimie Hersh?

Geez.  I'll take it.  But geez.

1 more base runner and it is a save situation.

Probably should have optioned O'Rourke a couple weeks ago for a player we would actually use.

this is what I've been thinking. Is it too late to do a Berrios-O'Rourke swap before September 1?

Now we need the Orioles to make a big comeback against the Rangers.

I think we need to keep O'Rourke as a LOOGY only. His numbers in AAA validate this.

So that homer by Sano had some retroactive drama on it.

 

In honor of the approaching NFL season, I suggest that the Twins bullpen be penalized 15 yards for excessive drama.

 

Even so, it was a great win against a terrific opponent.    Provided they're not playing the Twins, it will be hard for me not to root for them at least a little after watching them this weekend.

Winnah.

 

Brian's dinnah.

There, now it's official.

Next up, the Pale Hose.

 

Rangers going to San Diego.

Great pitching job by Un-nervin' Santana!

twins are 3-1 versus sale this season with 20 runs in 23.2 innings ...

 

That might have been the flattest home run I've seen by a Twin since Shane Mack hit one in old Tigers Stadium during his stellar 1992 season that leveled off at a cruising altitude of about 20 feet.

I saw Reggie Jackson hit a double at Met Stadium that hit the center field fence on the fly. I swear the ball was never more than 20' off the ground. I don't think I've ever seen a ball hit harder.

How does that happen? ERA of about 2.35 against everyone else and about 7.60 against us.

How cool is it to have a TD game thread for the last game of August be about a Twins game with postseason stakes for BOTH teams?

 

While there was a little speculation about September callups (which is fine, btw),  it was a far cry from the past four seasons, when it would have been pretty much the only hot topic in a late August game thread.

I remember a Cuddy homer in KC, I think it was '06. It looked like a 2 iron, the shortstop leaped for the ball but it didn't sink at all and carried over the fence. the Twins came from way behind to win the game.
