Did we win yet?

Busy day...

 

The Twins bullpen elected to forego the customary four-run 8th in deference to your plans for the afternoon.

Less than an inning left in the season. C'mon, game thread, gut it out!

C'mon, Miggy, let's get on base! If you don't reach, Kurt Suzuki can't pinch run in his last game as a Twin!

 

 

Edit: W00t! Single through the hole! Where's Kurt? Pinch run? Pinch hit? Pinch loaf? Can't believe Molitor is letting him sit!

How lucky are we to see Kintzler end the season?!

Just got back from the Ryder Cup and catching up on the Game Thread.  Great intro LaBombo!  Impressive work for a rookie!

 

By the way, I saw Bill Murray today.  He told me the Twins will go from worst to first next year.  The USA won the Ryder Cup and because it was held in the Twin Cities we're gonna have Karma next year on our side.  If nothing else, he said the Twins fans will receive total mental consciousness on our death beds...At least we have that going for us!

Damn that Polanco.  What a crappy shortstop.....      ;)

Let's remember these last 2 putouts by Polanco when the narrative of him playing horrible SS comes about in the offseason...

 

This is finally it? No more game threads after today? I thought we were all just starting to hit our stride!

Totally agree.  Kind of depressing.  There are a lot of us who have mastered the art of positive negativity and sarcasm.  I'm gonna miss this!  Imagine how much fun this Game Thread will be when we are in the middle of a pennate race.  Can't wait!

RB missed this one in the intro thread.

My bad. First crack at a game thread. I'll work on it in the offseason.

Started with a Monty Python song, ending with another favorite:

Our universe itself keeps on expanding and expanding,
In all of the directions it can whiz;
As fast as it can go, at the speed of light, you know,
Twelve million miles a minute and that's the fastest speed there is.
So remember, when you're feeling very small and insecure,
How amazingly unlikely is your birth;
And pray that there's intelligent life somewhere out in space,
'Cause there's bugger all down here on Earth!

The fifth inning wall again for Berrios...

 

Bear down, Berrios! <clap clap clapclaplclap>

 

Bear down, Berrios! <clap clap clapclaplclap>

 

Everybody! Do it! NOW!

 

Bear down, Berrios! <clap clap clapclaplclap>

 

Edit: Berrios gets out of the jam and qualifies for the win. Congratulations, Game Thread, you're still my agent of Quan.

I hear the same words from the doctor when getting the colonoscopy.  Please bear down.

Winner.

 

I get to declare a winner if I started the thread, right?

 

Either way, winner. Because Bill Murray, and optimism.

Hopefully we can carry this two game winning streak into next year! Go Twins!!! :) \m/

As long as they don't ask you to do the clapping too...

Toronto, hoping for looking for home field in the wild card, holding onto a 2-1 lead over the Red Sox in the bottom of the 9th. Big Papi coming up.
