Houston in the 1st inning, threatening to make the Twins and Angels games moot.

Amazing fact: Both these teams are tied after 5 1/2 innings. Both teams have a shortstop named Escobar, and yet their SS bats first, and ours bats 9th!

 

Coincidence?

Chris young being simply dominant.

Dangit, Astros bat around in the top of the first and score 3.

Checking in fellas! Santana looking great so far, let's go get him the win now!  

I hope this (lack of) activity on the game thread isn't a foreboding of the end of the Twins season.

 

Because I was promised a fairy tale.

I demand a fairy tale!

I heard it--Bert said "major league level"!

 

Everybody take your Coors, Fosters, Sam Adams, Molsons (if from Canada) and drink

There go some Royals to see the poor invalid.

Damm I wanted Young to pitch to Dozier one more time.

 

Because I can say with 100% certainty that Dozier would have went deep on him!

I'm hoping all our locals are at the game and can't post due to beers in both hands.

Unlikely.

Anyone else wanna see a hit and run here?  

 

Unlikely.

 

Beer in one hand.....burger in the other?

Twins have been pretty good at hitting into double plays lately

What kind of name is Rubby?

 

Beer in one hand.....burger in the other?

Both hands clasped in prayer. The atheists meanwhile are holding their hearts in fear of heart attacks.

Bah. Surly on tap!  You can pray silently while sipping a frosty Furious.

They are getting anxious.

Watching the shining on tv and the twins on the iPad. Which is more scary?

Not sure I would have had Santana come out for the 8th.

Pshh.....terrible way to go out, lucky hit if I've ever seen one.

Eh he made a great pitch, that hit was in no way Santana's fault

I think KC has owned our bullpen.

Houston just taking a big old dump on Arizona. Seems to be how you take care of bizness.

Arizona Diamondbacks doing their best Washington Generals impersonation, so win or lose it's gonna be tough.

 

I'm hitting the showers with Ervin Santana. Bring it on home, Twins Daily friends.

I do not have a good feeling about us winning this very good game.

Expletive, Expletive Perkins, Expletive Expletive

We live with Perk, we die with Perk.

I just didn't have much confidence in Perkins here.  Now we're backs against the wall.

Turn out the lights, the parties over.
