3 outs away from covering the Twins pre season total wins Vegas line over/under

What are you gonna buy us with your winnings?

Whoa, May just threw a 98mph heater. Spicy meat-a-balla!

Joan Koplan reference, I like.

[DaveW]

Sano will be fine, he has been so fantastic this year that a couple hitless nights makes folks worry. It's just a (very) mini slump.

 

Once he hits one 450 tomorrow everything will be all good again,

[jimbo92107]

Looks a bit dubious on weather radar. That rain isn't going to stop for the top of the ninth inning.

[ashbury]

whew.

Yeah. Two outs with men on first and second isn't exactly his forte.

[Squirrel]

whew.

Yeah, had he Tums handy.

[LaBombo]

 

whew.

Survey says:    27 for "Whew".

 

Number one answer to 'Name a one-word reaction to the Twins' bullpen':   "Gaaaaahhh!!!'

Well, I know he owes me a drink or two or five.

I'm gonna do the smart thing and let it all ride on the Vikings to win the super bowl...

 

Seriously though, I'm gonna bank the money and spend it on plane tickets/playoff tix if the Twins make it. (Though I would save on the plane tix if they get the wild card and play NYY for the WC game)

[jimbo92107]

Bremmer was right about their radar gun. Kansas City's is at least a couple mph optimistic.

[USAFChief]

 

Yeah, had he Tums handy.

OK, yoda.

[jimbo92107]

Hunter still isn't swinging the bat like before the All-Star game, but he's got about 75 percent of it back.

 

I don't disagree with giving Buxton a day or two off, but Hunter still isn't back to even what he was earlier, which was a slow outfielder with a fading bat and a below average arm.

He should choke up then.

[LaBombo]

 

OK, yoda.

To the punch have you beaten me....

I was thinking 79%

 

So we are close to agreement. 

[jimbo92107]

Ferrari outfield. Speed and gunz.

[LaBombo]

Good to see Jep getting a tough lefty like Gordon out.

[Squirrel]

To the punch have you beaten me....

Two idiots unleashed have I.

I am hoping for a Twins-Dodgers World Series -- 50th anniversary of 1965.

I hate the Dodgers almost as much as I hate the Yankees. Even for nostalgia I wouldn't want the Dodgers anywhere near the WS.

This is the only way we can ever redeem what happened in 1965.

Dirtball from Jepsen. Filthy dirtball!

I actually kinda like the Dodgers.

 

But truth be told, I won't quibble about the WS opponant.

Shout a hip-hooray!

[USAFChief]

Winnah!!

Now that I think about it,  you strike me as more of a front porch swing person...

It's been 50 years ... I think it's time to let it go. I'd rather just get past the Yankees in the post season first. Still, can't stand the Dodgers. Don't want them winning anything.
