September 2, 201610 yr Gah, Bremer going on and on about Buxton's speed getting to that flare that pretty much any outfielder except Willingham would have reached.
September 2, 201610 yr Did they just really quote Molitor as saying he wants to see what they've got in Logan Schafer? Nothing. The answer in what you have in Logan Schafer is nothing. He's a 4th OF for a independent league team. The fact that the manager thinks there might be something there makes me hope this losing streak carries on and forces him to resign.
September 2, 201610 yr Gah, Bremer going on and on about Buxton's speed getting to that flare that pretty much any outfielder except Willingham would have reached.Or Delmon Young, who would have broken back on the ball followed by a 540-degree turn to come back in.

Can't we see what we got in Walker, in Palka, in Granite.....even would take a look at Michael and Harrison, who are on the bubble of being keepers or totally cutloose - although I guess we can keep them in the system for still one more year. But Logan Schafer!?! Go and watch a Saints game, Paul, if you want to see that! And maybe next year you will be able to be a season ticket holder!

September 2, 201610 yr Oh, great. Pressley just returned a kickoff 108 yards for a Vikings TD. Imagine how gassed he's gonna be when he gets to the park to warm up for the 8th. Edited September 2, 201610 yr by LaBombo
September 2, 201610 yr Welp, three innings or so, still to go. These West Coast games are too much for me. Have to leave it to the rest of you to bring this game home.

Maybe he's trying to increase his chances of being considered for the GM job? After all, this is the franchise that said that it signed 32 year old, >1000 MLB innings pitched Kevin Correia because "our scouts really liked what they saw".
September 2, 201610 yr The exuberance of avoiding another franchise record for futility is really starting to light up the Twins' faces... http://tonystake.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/20130903__1-joe-mauer-dugout-sad.jpg
September 2, 201610 yr Using backup remote with no 'previous channel' button so I'm stuck with one channel or the other, presenting a real quandary: Do I help the Twins avoid a historical losing streak by not watching and jinxing the bullpen as they try to protect their tiny four run lead, or do I preserve the suspense of how much bad a Bridgewaterless Vikings team can pack into a sixteen game season by not watching them?
September 2, 201610 yr Author The trick to this is to have your doctor write you a note saying you are medically incapable of waiting in long lines. They give you a pass. You go up to the line and they write a time on the pass for whenever you would have arrived when you're in line... then you go do something else. How Bout if you are Mentally incapable? Bob Newhart would certainly be able to diagnose that from one session with me.
September 2, 201610 yr And the Vikings have now won as many games this year as the twins have since August 8. Silver lining, folks
September 2, 201610 yr Author I didn't get to watch the game tonight but I assume that they snapped the streak because the pitching staff didn't give up 9 runs or more.
September 2, 201610 yr Ervin scatters 11 hits over 5 innings to limit BS to 2 earned runs for the win... if, by "scattered", you mean "strategically placed with surgical precision". Ahhh, well.. the dreaded Streak is over, Buxton survived a 3AM flat tire and completed a mini-triathlon to get the airport, and he's now on pace for 28 home runs in September. What am I leaving out? Oh, yeah. Shaun Hill didn't blow out his knee while standing on the Vikings sideline. So good night all around. Edited September 2, 201610 yr by LaBombo

September 2, 201610 yr Easy, Gophers are losing at home to Oregon State. Gophers vs. Beavers... the Regrettable Mascot Choice Bowl. But you unjinxed the Goophs with your post and they're up by one with 8 minutes to go! Just the kind of insurmountable lead you're looking for against a team the Wall Street Journal called an 'embarrassing weakling' or some such.
September 2, 201610 yr Didn't watch the whole game, but that was a pretty sweet swing that Buxton put on that homer. Ervin: Escape artist
