And boyer on the mound with the glove!

Got me stumped. If i find out, i'll be sure to pass it on.

Was that a pinch bunt single? That's pretty cool. Hopefully the Twins can handle it.

You could move the tiles around for exercise... Only problem is how many repetitions would constitute a work out? If you solve it, let us know your solution to the rep-tile problem. (Er, i remember this... Duck, and cover)

Ah, i get it! "May the 4th" so the Twins are only have 4 run innings...

Is that a three run lead i see before me?

Is that Twins ball?

Vargas starts it off well, with a hit, and stays at first.

Ladders are so useful. I wish i'd been there!

And i'm happy to have regressed to the mean as a game thread writer, the Twins having won 4 and lost 4. I know i don't really have any measurable effect on the game, but it's still reassuring.

I thought the waiting was the hardest part... Not sure why.

I think that's the Rule V pick from Atlanta.

I haven't been counting, but yeah, maybe the Sox have given us 15 extra outs... Though that sounds a little high.

http://twinsdaily.com/forum/10-archived-game-threads/ I think that works...

There is something elegant about a grounder finding its way between two diving fielders... 9-2 and counting, your CBU to go.

We seem to be keeping the petal to the metal (with an assist to Chicago's D), so perhaps our crack middle relief doesn't need to be so crack.

Was gonna say there's absolutely nothing wrong with this. A creative outlet is its own reward.

Slightly less interesting now, with one out. A 3-2 pitch, foultipped into Herrmann's glove, which gets knocked out by the back swing.

YES! (Thanks, Plouffe)

"Truly you have a dizzying intellect." (I think it has been fairly well established that PB references in game threads are for everyone.)

Hi Riverbrian! Indeed it is!

Vargas hustles into scoring position on a short bouncing wild pitch.

I'm tempted to say the new Punchline Contest requires an Australian accent, and starts with "That's not a jinx. THIS is a jinx..." But which would be worse: the resultant jinx, or that this might win...
