Why do you listen to the announcers? I usually put good music on during tv sports.

i'm thinking bad music might be more appropriate here.

 

It's not often you see an 8 run error. 

Evidently, you were not watching the other games against Houston...

Only 3 ER so far.  But ERA tells the story.  The pitchers didn't actually just crumble in front of us.

Time for ice cream. 

 

Good for celebrating and sorrows. 

If we had done a drinking game where you took a shot every time Torii said Veteran then you would be hammered already.

 

(cause, you know, he's really bragging about the end of his career and how it as viewed by so many),

Just a friendly reminder that we still have 2 years and 2 1/2 months left of Phil Hughes

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

 

That is all.

Berries was way too tentative. He was squeezed just a bit, but walking Beltran was as unforgivable as Polanco's error. Berrios needs to come back next start attacking the K zone.

What was that Altuve? 

If you're looking for a silver lining, at least Granite doesn't seem capable of overthrowing the cutoff man with that arm of his, unlike Rosario.

 

We really need to see more Adrianza and Escobar at short. Polanco needs some time on the bench to clear his head.

We need to do to Hughes what Boston did to Panda today.

Maybe we can have a Bert-like 10 year HoF petition during every game.

It's not often you see an 8 run error. I'm going to mark down where I was.

Drat. I missed it.

 

Any chance Houston will commit one too?

Altuve throwing a mini-tantrum is funnier cause he's so small ;-)

Assuming an L tonight, the Twins will be 0-4 against Houston, with a run differential of negative 25-35 runs. Oh, and 3 of those 4 games were started by Santana and Berrios. This just in: we're not a #3 starter and a couple of bullpen arms away.

Nice!

Wait, Bert is out again? My god, he works less than congress

Rosario's overthrowing might allow a guy to take an extra base. With Granite's underthrowing, the guy will already have taken that extra base.

But it won't be a 'mental mistake' or an error ;-)

I think the Twins may have something to do with the quality of the game thread. Welcome back to Twins baseball

Ok, I hope to wtach Sano and Buxton 300Ks season right now. Please continue to swing and miss, Twin boy.

Berrios may have had a bad outing but at least he only gave up one extra base hit. Hughes has already given up 3 XBHs to the first 4 batters he's faced.

 

And unlike the rest of you guys, I'll won't be checking out. I'll be here until the end - not because I think the Twins can still win, just for curiousity. I want to see if Houston can score 20+ runs and break some records.

Yes, error was costly, but Berrios was terrible tonight. You go 2-0, 3-0 on almost every batter you are going to get results like this. He was lucky in the 1st inning,he wasn't throwing strikes then either.

Polanco is making Hughes suck, too? Quite a reach for the young fella.

Is the injury that Perkins has contagious and is it possible PH gets it too?

 

I'm ruining the game thread apparently, so I'm out.  Enjoy all and GO TWINS!

 

Naw....... it's all Polanco's fault.

He's clearly been convinced by the national media that the Astros are unbeatable

Not possible.

If Phil had any integrity, he'd negotiate a buyout and retire.

Twins pitchers would have better luck facing the 1927 Yankees lineup
