Bases loaded, no outs? Right where we want 'em.... (it works against us...)

Pasta diving Donaldson...

Oh yeah. Play Ball!

Typically i woulda gone after the comebacker that send charlie flying, but there are a lot of options...

Am i to be called upon for optimism during this game? I'll see what i can do.

Yeah, grief is supposed to be good... So i am told. Today, i felt it appropriate to honor Charles Schultz. I am sure he would approve Minnesota's baseball team and its stick-to-it-ive-ness in the face of welming odds (no just welming, we only wish they were over) I am too lazy to track down an iconic baseball image, or rather taking a small look, that the series ran almost half a centrmury, i am awed and humbled by the creativity inherent in such a run. Anyway, mad props go to.who ever can track down the image what best represents the Twins season so far. Even as kids we appreicated the strip, as i have vague memories of friends competing to see who could yell the name of the comic strip the loudest. White Sox: 0. Dallas Keuchel ( L) P 1.

I hope they are okay... Anyway, let's give them Windy city folk a taste of home cooking!

Hurray for the Wild! And at least Twins are keeping it interesting late in the game...

Did we win yet?

After yesterday.... Maybe they're onto something?

Thanks! But... um spoiler alert, they were waiting for Gobot, and there happened to be one for sale at the yard sale next door, hidden amongst the transformers. But we don't normally find that out until act 2... I'm still not sure what deal Favley and Levine strike to get it. They might have to give up this for it:

Here's to hoping someday it will be.

Oh yeah. A final out. Winnah!

I don't suppose you could sit there more often, could you?

What is this weird feeling?!

Another out.

Er... not an out.

An out!

I wouldn't have it any other way.

That's a big feather.

That'll do.

I give up. How does Larnach not pinch hit for Refsnyder?

Refsnyder!

That's a smart 5th grader. He should be hired.

Hey look. The boulder is back at the bottom of the hill...

Sano with a hard out. Has the sleeper awakened? Glad Polanco didn't get caught off 3rd.
