I'd feel worse about checking my fingernails four times in the past 2 innings to see if they need clipping if it weren't for the fact that a ton of people who paid good money for infield seats have gone home or didn't show.

Offensive bullpen holding the lead...

Wake me up if MLB institutes a pitch clock during this at bat.

Will Detective Coulombo come out for the 6th so the Twins can give up "Just one more run..." Edit: Answer to my question is looking like 'Yes'...

Can we call the other bullpen dudes by the names of delicious pastries as well? Ralph Glazed Jr.? Luke Fritter? Tyler Muffin? It might make it more enjoyable to talk about them getting lit up, at the expense of an occasional drive to the neighborhood convenience store for 2/99¢ bismarcks

And now I feel silly for wondering if it would be worth it to turn on the Twins game and pull up the TD game thread... Probably wouldn't have picked up on this until tomorrow otherwise. Thank you, possibly in Australia twins fan!

"Season ain't over yet..."

Seeing the slow motion replay, I'm suddenly disappointed that I didn't have 'Opposition's 9th inning rally stays alive because high throw leaves Miguel Sano suspended weightless above first base' on my 2021 Twins bingo card.

You don't fully appreciate your team's cross country coach until you've seen another school's morbidly obese coach chasing his runners for 3 miles up and down the hills of an 18 hole course and yelling at them from a golf cart. We found out afterward from one of their guys that the only reason he didn't smoke while doing it was that it was against school policy.

Found Squirrel's flight on Flight Tracker...

If you find a new-looking Titleist x-out it's probably mine, but keep it... you can see how much good it did me.

Great picture! If you zoom in on the golf course and squint a bit, you can just make out Bonnes playing hooky from work...

Sano with a brilliant throw to fix a mistake so bad that most managers wouldn't bench you for it because they'd be laughing too hard...

You Chicago types, always bragging about your skyscrapers...

Twins have taken over sole possession of third worst run differential in the American League, and with a 5 run cushion. Sorry, that should read "negative 5 run cushion". Now that I think about it... probably doesn't really enhance the overall Game Thread experience. Back to the drawing board.

Some smelling salts and a J to get him warmed up and I think we'd have a worthwhile upgrade.

Polan-kozee!!!

It's getting past my ability to enjoy baseball...

Yup. Like much of this season, the only good news is that it won't matter this season or next.

Two things can make an error look worse than it is... costing you the game, or being one of four (or five, or six, or... uhh, how many innings are left again?) more errors. Twins have a great shot to do both.

Can somebody help me out here? I thought I just heard Bremer say the Twins' starting pitching should be the least of their concerns next season, and my brain tried to punch itself in the brain. Pohlad could give Falvino an extra 100 million and MLB could let them pick any 5 SP prospects from the rest of the league and we would still have to be concerned.

Official scorer giving Twins 25% off their error total tonight thanks to their use of Promo Code APATHY21

Who? Sorry, couldn't resist. I got bored waiting for Donaldson to strike out again.

The good thing about the really bad April and July the Twins had is that they make very likely that the inept baseball they're playing tonight won't matter to the outcome of the season.

Now, now... go easy on Caveman. Your world of XBH's and slugging percentages frightens and confuses him.
