Well played, big guys.

I remember as a kid, I had an imaginary friend. Finally, I came to realize it wasn't good for me to have such a friend, he was kind of mean. Like, for instance, he always teased me that at least he had a real friend.

The only glimmer of hope I really see against the Yankees is the way Maeda and Pineda have pitched so far this year. If they can go 6 or 7 innings giving up <2 runs and May/Romo/Duffey closing the door then the Twins have a shot.

Polanco last 7 games: 2/21 .095/.240/.095

Have any other good news?!

It always comes down to pitching

 

That can’t be true

Thursday vs White Sox -- 3 runs -- 2 dingers by Buxton and one by Donaldson (3 of 3)

Wednesday vs White Sox -- 5 runs -- Rosario solo, Buxton 2-run, Sano 2-run (8 of 8)

Tuesday vs White Sox -- 2 runs -- Buxton solo (9 of 10)

Monday vs White Sox -- 1 run -- no dingers (9 of 11)

Sunday vs Cleveland -- 7 runs -- Gonzo 2-run, Cruz solo, Jeffers 2-run, Donaldson solo (15 of 18)

9/12 vs Cleveland -- 8 runs -- Gonzo 2-run, Tortuga solo, Buxton 2-run, Rosario 2-run, Sano solo (23 of 26)

9/11 vs Cleveland -- 3 runs -- Buxton 2-run, Jeffers solo (26 of 29)

Tonite vs Cubs -- 1 run -- Rosario solo (27 of 30)

 

Hopefully the whole last third of the Twins' lineup tonight is gone next year

It's looking like it - all three's contracts are up, and I don't think re-signing them should be on the table. Avila is not a bad backup catcher, but it's pretty clear that Jeffers will be ready to back up Garver, if not step ahead of him.

Don't really wanna see the Twins against Cole.

Sounds a lot like having internet friends with whom to have virtual conversations about baseball games.

How many pitches has big Mike thrown

Shared lots of chicken dinners with those virtual friends!

Maybe elephant mountain?

93 ? 

Do you keep Avila on the play-off roster over Jeffers? I don't. Frankly if Garver doesn't hit in the next week, he should be the one left off.

Garver has to prove he's ready in my opinion.

I am the walrus?

Rocco looks good on the pinch runner move.

I still have NO idea what they're singing in those TRIA ads.

 

Anybody?

Knock me over with a feather 

Pinch runner paid off.

And the decision to pinch run pays dividends.

 

edit: ninja'd. By an OLLLLDDDDDD man, too. sheesh

OK, so that's a manufactured run. Now I'd like to see a 450-footer over Waveland Ave.

Unbelievable

Never a dull moment- EDDIE
