5 things to think about...

 

1. I got a friend who closed on a house earlier this week. So please forgive me if i have a one track mind.

 

2. Final regular season Twins home game. I hope we win.

 

3. Scoring runs by getting home. Sorry! That was too easy.

 

4. High Culture. See game thread title.

 

5. Pop culture, an incomplete list:

 

"Slimey? Mudhole? My home this is!" Strong are we with the force, but are we yet Jedi?

No Sunday Funday lineup...Rocco goes for the win After last nights Debacle

 

Rocco clearly going for the win here today, like this lineup. Here's hoping the Twins bash and mash.

 

Perez is a wild card here. Crossing fingers!

After that____fest last night, Rocco better want to win this one and every game to come! No Kepler:( Even a blind dog finds a bone, so congrats to Mr Wade on his Bomba. Let's get to 300 today!

Kansas City sure is fielding a right heavy line up.

 

Not sure how much that means...

Pérez needs a good game. It would be nice to reduce the magic number again today.

Magic number's at four. It takes the whole team to win. Yesterday it took the whole team to lose -- we hit well for one inning and pitched well for four innings, and that was it. Win the series today and we're pretty much golden.

Dozier has 2 h,r,s  off perez,  Cruz has 2 against k,c, guy,  be nice to see 400  today at home

Cmon Perez! Prove me wrong!

If the Twins hit 400 homeruns today, I'm confident of a win!

Good AB from Merrifield. Too bad he's wearing the wrong shade of blue.

Didn't watch last night, eh?

*sigh*

Did that ball hit Polanco on the foot?

*sigh again*

Even for a bloop, that was kind of a weird play.

Perez is such a bozo. I really hope that his option is declined, but knowing the FO, he'll be picked up since he has Texas ties to the FO...

Nice play, Sano!

The Twins are attempting to win the division and go to the playoffs with no starting pitching.

Looks like a Bullpen game again

It helps to catch the strikes...yeesh

Time for a McChair

It helps to catch the strikes...yeesh

1B was open too. Should have run just to force a throw.

30 pitches and a lot of nibbled fingernails.

 

It was ugly, but it was scoreless.

whew. season almost over.

 

Looks like a Bullpen game again

 

What do you mean? Perez is on track to complete 3 whole innings with his pitch count.

Goofy inning for perez,  lucky to get out of it,  Did he check the runners on that double steal  ?  anyone notice,

Good damage control, will cost him an inning, but I guess five is all you expect from starters nowadays
