Dick reminding us that thanks to roster expansion, the Twins have an 11 man bullpen, and I'm like 'yyyeah, that should eventually get us through the 7th and maybe part of the 8th, but what about the rest?'
Sensing autumn in the air, the Corgi savors one of the last Twins pitching performances of the season... http://doz.h-cdn.co/assets/16/35/1472869094-3poyupa.gif
Not a good night for either of them, but Gibster is looking pretty hittable too. He's about to throw pitch #100 and it's just the 5th inning, although it's admittedly pretty amazing to rack up that pitch count without giving up more than 2 runs.
Twins have been stuck on 98 wins for an eternity, almost 24 hours now. What an incredible season. Hard to believe there's barely a week le... Wait, whaaaat? 98 losses? This team? http://invisiblebread.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/brucewillisdoubletake.gif
Best Partridge Family episode ever: After hearing strange voices in his head, Luke finds out that it's Laurie's braces causing a disturbance in the Force.
Bert's confidence in Tommy Tutone being a starter somewhere in MLB next year would be a little more credible if Tommy were able to crack one of the worst rotations in baseball this year.
Every game thread, the RB story comes a little more into focus... http://66.media.tumblr.com/0cc121b5ad3783f00a803d8b9f0779fa/tumblr_o8070hr6tX1us88awo3_500.gif
Rats. I have an hour and 10 minutes to watch my Red Box movie on fast forward before they charge another day. Saying something cynical and paste a ridiculous gif for me, everyone.
And as another interminable season of Twins futility winds to a close, my patience for even the between-innings commercials wears thin. As much as I like Paul Giamatti, for example, I am no longer able to watch the satellite TV commercial in which he utters the phrase "set top box" in such a way that it sounds EXACTLY like the aliens in Mars Attacks! saying "Ack! Ack! Ack!". When do pitchers and catchers report?
