T minus 4. Dozier with a sunball to left field for a double. Chasing Bass (the Texas pitcher)

T minus 6... wait. I messed that up. T minus 5 (11-6) W/ a Robinson double down the left field line.

T minus 7 runs... (Nunez, Herrmann double to right, Escobar singles up the middle)

One batter at a time...

Nunez is on second, pending review of whether his double went out and came back, as it might have. Never give up, never surrender!

Nevermind about the weather. Game's back on. 3 fewer outs for the Twins to come back from an 8 run deficit. Regarding Buxton, the Stauffer DFA freed up the 40 man space, i assume? And we're still wondering where the 25 man space will come from? If Hicks is injured, that's probably it, but could be other moves too? 25 is a pretty good number...

I figured it out. Ring wraiths as umpires... Maybe not. That could end very badly... Anyone out their have insight on the rain delay? Too lazy to look at a weather radar...

I expect Frodo draws more walks. And that ring might make stealing bases a little bit easier? I guess that'd might make it to a rule committee. If the batter goes invisible on his way to the plate, how do you know he didn't beat out the throw?

And now everyone cowers as a black rider flies somewhere overhead, shrieking. Er, i mean there's a rain delay.

Cirith Ungol? At least they DFA'd that Smeagol character...

Then we can stand up? Or was it put our arms out the window? I forget. Anyway, for those into this sort of thing... CBU Texas ahead, many-3. But only like, halfway through the game.

I'm almost more sad they didn't turn a double play than that they let in 5 more runs. It'd be cool to have a double play per inning. Especially if we had 9 double plays without going to extras.

Would that be a long stop, or a tall stop?

So that's what a crooked number looks like. Hope the Twins bats have been paying attention...

Note to self. When Hunter is back, i can probably make some joke about him being crazy like the forks... It might be funny. Maybe. If i don't mess it up.

Does that mean Escobar now gets the forks?

What was it... 3-3 after 3? That's 3 3s. CBU is pernounced cube. (er, half an inning late... i type slowly...)

Punched to the beat. And they scored to make it 3-2. That'll learn me...

"Surely you can't be serious." (to quote an oft quoted film once more...)

Scratch that. third. I came in an inning late...

Ok. Setting default opinion to... "I hadn't thought of that." (or was it people aren't serious? Shoot, i knew i should be paying closer attention)) 3-1 halfway through the second. CBU.

Oh. I hadn't thought of that... My bad.

Oh, yeah, good job with the double barrel anti-jinx. Seems to be working (if i can say that without affecting anything)

Rosario is clutch, no?

Robinson on with an infield single. I wonder where he'll go from there... (Oh, we're down 1-0, i think. It might be over, but there are still outs left to get, so i'm still hopeful)
