Good out by Hicks on a close play and got Suzuki to second. I'm seeing a little more confidence by both Hicks and Santana at the plate.

Detroit DFA'd Chamberlain and another pitcher recently and now they're going after Feliz? Desperation, thy name is Detroit.

Today's game should be interesting. Will the comeback last night be the one that breaks the back of Detroit or will it inspire Detroit to play even harder? I edited this post to see if it would change CRArko's post. Edit two: Drat, I was hoping as I had visions of fun and frolics with quoted posts. I think this is a flaw and should be addressed by the web site owners.

I watched the Detroit broadcast replay and I cannot dislike the Detroit broadcasters. If only it was Chicago. Hawk is always priceless in these moments.

Wow, they pulled it out..and I turned off the game when it was 6-1 top of the ninth or so. Teach me a lesson. Meanwhile, May is probably wondering why work 7 innings when he can pick up a win working only 1.

It is no longer referred to as "snuff film." The correct terminology is "performance art." Although, the Tigers seem to be performing while the Twins are faking it.

And you gained experience with maladjusted chimps how?

I guess the Twins battle tailed off.

Time to get after it and battle those tails off, Twins.

So, her candidate resume must include somewhat arcane baseball knowledge. I'm cool with that.

More importantly, DH or pitcher flails? (Flails - Fails..one letter difference. Coincidence? I think not)

Somewhere, Joe Mauer is smiling.... Seriously, though, I don't like seeing a player go down like this. Hopefully Gordon is able to come back in time to help the Royals.

Unless it's Coastal CA, then it's nuts, toffu, kale and kiwi.

I remember a story from years ago when Frankie V. was supposedly screamed at by an opposing hitter because he threw 3 changeups in a row (or something like that) and struck the batter out.

Jiminez keeps flirting with disaster and the Twins aren't getting the job done.

So, I get home after running around for a bit and the Twins are up 3-zip. More mlb.tv magic. I sort of thought that Mr. Sano might have hit his first home run. I was not disappointed. The run scored by Joe was heads up baseball.

"Vulture" May? Seriously, though, seeing May come in made me realize the Twins had a chance. That was a cool win.

Uh huh, and I won the lottery last night.

And the abuse thread is the next door over.

I see Hicks is going the opposite way this game. Rather than a spectacular play in the outfield and then a home run, Hicks decided to get take care of the home run first. I can hardly wait to see the catch.

Seriously? Lead off home run? Come on, Hughes.

Santana tried to avoid the bullpen by going 8. Figure starters go 8, Perkins for the close. Presto! No bullpen issues.

Dear Mr. Santana. Welcome to the Twins and, specifically, the Twins bullpen. Sincerely, Me.

Spectacular catch followed up by a spectacular home run. Buxton, Rosario and Hicks..what's not to like about the outfield of the future?

Wow, that didn't take long.
