Article: AL Wild Card Game Thread: Twins @ Yankees, 10/3@7:09pm CT

Is the fifth like the center space on bingo card?

I'd rather not say what #5 is.  It might make the three or four people left on this site that like me turn on me :-)

[Aggies7]

We got one of those, too.  Let's get some more.

Technically we haven't. Buxton groundout came with 1 out

[wavedog]

Looks like we will need 11 pitchers with these pitch counts going up

[spinowner]

 

I don't think there's going to be a game against the Natives Americans until next year...

Your anti-jinxes worked last Tuesday against Cleveland. Keep them coming, and then leave the thread in the 7th inning like you did before.

[jimmer]

BTW, my 2nd favorite baseball team is the #2 wild card in the NL.  So more blood pressure medicine on order for tomorrow ;-)

[kusko_andy]

I don't understand why it's so hard to get these guys out.  They're not all superstars or something. 

[Vanimal46]

Man, this is going to be a loooong night.

[LaBombo]

 

No.

I'm not sure which realization is more disturbing... that I'm old enough to remember when yellow blazers were cool, or that his face cost more than my house.

[Riverbrian]

I don't totally understand this mound visit unless it was specific to pitching to Ellsbury.

 

 

Berrios was sharp against Hicks. Hicks nubbed a hit.

I have a list of 5 items I check off every football weekend.

 

UCLA win?

Notre Dame win?

USC loss?

Redskins loss?

Three kinds of people - those who can count and those who can't

[Pius Jefferson]

 

That and third down conversion.

 

And penalty killing.

 

And maintaining a lead in the 4th quarter.

[Aggies7]

put gee in

[DocBauer]

Only thing worse than being a Twins fan is being a Vikings fan. [sarcasm alert]

Why choose?

If this goes extra innings we might see Gimenez on the mound with the game on the line.

[FlauerPauer]

Will the front office guys actually get some pitching this off season? Same old problem for the last twenty years.  How many times is this going to happen?

[snepp]

Uff-dah, I need nicotine.

I purposely left off #5.  The whole 5th amendment thing ;-)

[Vanimal46]

There we go... I'm already emotionally drained.

[Pius Jefferson]

 

Man, this is going to be a loooong night.

 

It already is. 

 

[AlwaysinModeration]

Ok, Grossman and top of the order. Rally time. Grossman work a walk, Mauer getting a hit.

[Aggies7]

There we go... I'm already emotionally drained.

Thankfully we don't have 5, or worse, 7, games with these guys. Maybe next year

[gil4]

 

...I'm old enough to remember when yellow blazers were cool...

That would be right around never. (+/- a couple of years.)

Hahaha talking about jinxes, my Dad posted a silly video on facebook of Donald Duck getting the hook off stage when Severano got pulled... boys give up 3 runs next inning.

[DocBauer]

Great post I saw a few weeks again on Vikings website. Two comparative circles: 1] People who have nice things...and...2] Vikings fans. Lol

[sampleSizeOfOne]

What i miss?

Yeah... I kinda agree but you'd have to say that Yankees went out and got pitching. Yet they can't keep the Twins off the board. 

 

The bats are alive tonight. Hang on to your butts everyone. 

[glunn]

The game is now one-third done. Unless the forces of evil steal all of the Twins' bats we are still in this.

 

Patience at the plate could still win this for us.

Glad I had the week off
