Circus Boy

Love these recaps! Thank you!

And over at Indians Daily, they're probably wondering if the Twins will ever lose again.

La Tortuga, natch.

Some day! That would be a hoot. My wife says I spend too much time on these blogs. "They're my friends!" I tell her. She: "No they're not. Not one of them will show up for your funeral." I say to you all, prove my wife wrong and come pay your respects when my time comes. And, yes, you're all in the will.

Enjoyable analysis. Thanks!

Twins have the 4th-best W-L record, 2nd-best offense in MLB and is pretty much tied for fifth-best in pitching. It's a long season. If we were going to fade, it would have happened by now. Let's enjoy the last 54 games left and then the playoffs. Go Twinks!

I think he just wanted a little challenge. We got this.

Just realized that we've won three straight. The last time that happened was June 13-15. But the good news is, we ended up with a winning record in July of 13-11.

Read that as a "LaLaPalooza thong." Must. Get. New. Glasses.

You nearly broke the TD Golden Rule for game threads, that we talk about anything but baseball.

He does give off a young Brad Pitt vibe.

KC still up 9-5 in home 7th. Rookie Bubba Starling wearing a golden sombrero today. What's it called if he strikes out a fifth time?

Bases loaded, no outs for the Pale Hose. A situation, to be sure. CBU

Couldn't bear to watch last night after the Yanks closed to 7-5. Checked back and... pleased to see Duffey, Thorpe, Harper, and Rogers shut down those big city boys. Let's do it again.

One strike away.

Except for HRs, Adrianza is every bit as good as Escobar was.

Gamecast sez we have an 89.8% chance of winning this game. What do they know that we don't?

Crystal ball, aka Future CBU: Cruz homers here.

Aw, nutz. Davis decides to strike out a day late.

I say play for the wild pitch.

Definitely felt that way last night after scoreus interupptus.

If the Oakland pitcher is going to go full count on every batter we may be here 'til midnight.

Today I'm hoping for a complete shut-down performance by JB and early runs to support that. That is all. P.S. Last night on the game thread Mr. Walcott asked "Where's Circus Boy?" Still here. But my home computer for reasons unknown won't let me sign in, so I remain silent most games. Otherwise, I can comment while at work prior to first pitch or during afternoon games.

Excellent job, Mr. Sano. Last couple games the Twins bats have turned to mush with runners in scoring position.

No question, this was a gift win for Cleveland. The boys will remember. They know they're the better team and will play smarter down the road. Can't wait for Rosie to get back.
