October 1, 201610 yr Wow.. How bad can it get? That question is not rhetoricalI'll get back to you on Nov. 8th about that.
October 1, 201610 yr That was nice... 'hustle', I guess, on the almost-catch by Grossman, but it still reminds me that his biggest advantage over Delmon is that his superior athleticism allows him to get to more balls he can't catch than Delmon could. Maybe the best example of "faint praise, indeed" ever posted!
October 1, 201610 yr More like two really. This one's done.Do not underestimate this teams ability to make one loss appear like two.
October 1, 201610 yr Do not underestimate this teams ability to make one loss appear like two.Twins pyth is actually 36-204? I'm assuming they won 20 they shouldn't have.
October 1, 201610 yr Author 14! This is starting to remind me of the movie Tin Cup David Simms: Tell me... how did a great ball-striker like you – a `legend' – manage to shoot an 83? TIN CUP: “Well, I missed a 4-foot putt on eighteen for an 82, that's how. I think 900 will be reached in similar fashion.
October 1, 201610 yr Twins cutting into the Phillies' MLB lead in negative run differential. Twins started the night 11 back... ahead... whatever, at -172 vs. Phillies' -183. And yet Philly has won a mind-boggling 13 more games than the Twins, so in a way you have to admire our team's efficiency in generating losses. Or not.
October 1, 201610 yr Twins pyth is actually 36-204? I'm assuming they won 20 they shouldn't have.It's on a curve.

October 1, 201610 yr White Sox faced with the conflict of padding stats against dreadful Twins staff vs. leaving the park while there's still some Friday night left to make use of.
October 1, 201610 yr If Rodon gets 10/12 of the next outs by K, this will be an amazing record-setting loss.
October 1, 201610 yr Joining late here. All I have to say is what the hell?Sounds like you've got a handle on it.
October 1, 201610 yr Apparently the boys left it all on the field last night in that thrilling come from ahead win. Understandably it's difficult to maintain such a high level of competitiveness every day.
October 1, 201610 yr Author Joining late here. All I have to say is what the hell? That's usually what people say to people who show up late. You smashed right through that wall
October 1, 201610 yr If Rodon gets 10/12 of the next outs by K, this will be an amazing record-setting loss. Offseason workout program with Godzilla has really paid off down the stretch for him. http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-uPG2zs-VVnM/VN91aw7S1GI/AAAAAAAABPg/-MbuPYSx4ZU/s1600/Rodan%2Bmechag2.jpg
October 1, 201610 yr Joining late here. All I have to say is what the hell?Twins 2016 team season wrap up.
October 1, 201610 yr Twins' hot bats forcing Rodon to work outside the zone and throw the wild pitch! I smell a comeback! Ok, maybe it's not a comeback, but I definitely smell something baseball-related.
October 1, 201610 yr It's been an interesting afternoon. Our office / the rest of the neighborhood had the power shut down at 3 PM. The assumption is because ACL music festival is in town this weekend... We got out at that time, and went to a couple of free music shows this evening!
October 1, 201610 yr White Sox faced with the conflict of padding stats against dreadful Twins staff vs. leaving the park while there's still some Friday night left to make use of.Bars and clubs open late in Chicago, 4am sometimes even later.
October 1, 201610 yr The ump is trying to help him out, but Schafer and Buxton say "No!" I hope they said 'No, thank you!" Gotta stay on his good side.
October 1, 201610 yr In all seriousness, do umpires have to pass vision tests every year to keep their jobs, particularly with fast-moving objects?
October 1, 201610 yr If Rodon gets 10/12 of the next outs by K, this will be an amazing record-setting loss.If you're going to go down in flames, do it right dammit.

October 1, 201610 yr It's like Rodon found a penny in his pocket, saw that it was dated 2015, and remembered who he is.
October 1, 201610 yr This is a brave Group posting here tonight. There's no quit in any of you. I tip my cap to y'all.
October 1, 201610 yr Anything noteworthy Van?The headliner tonight is Radiohead, but that one requires a wristband to attend. Wish I could remember the name of the band I saw around 5 PM... That was about 5 beers ago. They had a woman lead singer who killed it on stage. More of an alt rock flavor to them. Edited October 1, 201610 yr by Vanimal46
