Game Thread: Red Sox @ Twins, 11:10AM PT (1:10PM CT)

[Danchat]

Here comes the rally! Even Buxton's contributing!

[Circus Boy]

If something's going to happen, now's as good a time as any.

[crapforks]

Sac fly, please!

[crapforks]

That was a great AB

[Blake]

Okay, that was cool. Two very professional at-bats in a row. 

[Circus Boy]

Methinks Sale doesn't like pitching out of the stretch much.

 

P.S. Unleash the Dogs of Hell, please.

[bighat]

PO!  LAN!  CO!!!!

[Danchat]

Yes, Polanco! Here we go!!

[crapforks]

Please pitch to Sano!

[Pardon My Dinger]

Fale.

[Circus Boy]

Paging Mr. Sano, paging Mr. Sano. You have a call for a homerun.

[akmanak]

Come on Twins! Time to go for the throat here.

[twinsnorth49]

Please pitch to Sano!

No chance in hell with 1st base open.

[Riverbrian]

Just put bat on ball Mr. Vargas

Yikes do people turn on this team fast. Sale is pitching lights out and we have a bunch of young players who are getting owned at the plate.

The Twins are not going to make a run at 90 wins and the majority of posters know this. This team is projected to win 79-82 games.

I guess my point is that if you thought this team was going to win the majority of their games you are mistaken.

This team has been a surprise since last year and I have enjoyed the season much more than previous years because I dont go into the season with such high expectation because as many of you know it is not statistically possible to believe this team would win every series.

 

Just because we complain a bit doesn't mean we're rubes who thought the Twins would win 100 games, dude. 

[Riverbrian]

Well done Mr. Vargas

[twinsnorth49]

C'mon Kennys "don't call me Kenny" Vargas.

[jimbo92107]

Vargas delivers. Good sac fly.

[BoofBonser]

This team has honestly been awesome this year... Most of these games where they've gone down early would have resulted in a lopsided loss... This year they're fighting and coming back and it's resulting in closer and exciting games

[wavedog]

I sure turned in at the right time - had to do some plumbing repair and fix our gate - turn in to see us behind 0-4 but since then we have been on a roll.  I promise to keep following the game while this lasts.

Agreed.  Fantastic rally this inning.

Hey, watch your step, I'm a rube!

[Jerr]

HeHeHe...I knew it was too nice out to choke this one a w a y   

[crapforks]

Honestly, the Twins just get to Sale more times than not. It seems lucky every time. Straight voodoo.

[snepp]

Wowzers Miguel, that was pretty athletic.

 

 

And agile.

 

 

[Craig Arko]

Wonder what kind of a 3rd baseman Sano would be if he wasn't overweight and lazy...

 

Mr. Reusse?

[Bark's Lounge]

Punk ass pessimists can eat some crow. This team wants to win and will fight for it.

 

Chris Sale and his prima donna persona can eat this all day long.

 

**** Chris Sale!!!

[snepp]

Brooks Robinson, clearly.

[Aggies7]

Ugh that is a backbreaker
