Mauer finds the hole in Trout's glove for a double. Almost got played over the wall...

Looking at bracket schedule, 7/13 is the finals of the world cup. Though from here on, ~4 days of rest between rounds, and it is a strict tournament so each subsequent round has half the number of games of the previous round (excepting the runner up game the day before the finals)

A time honored tradition of backing into the playoffs...

Wow. Them west coast teams really have it in for us. Other than perhaps the Padres. Anyway, thanks for the company, and sorry i'm not so quick at the clever comment.

Though i think i failed to comment last night, all them pictures were fun to see. I don't know if it is fact or not, but i am under the impression rhinos actually put fires out, or something like that. So maybe we should have a Rhino Pen, rather than a bull pen. Anyway, i don't care what we call it, i just hope to see Twins score runs.

Good recovery by Willingham. Amongst the general carnage, one minor disaster averted doesn't seem so much... Still, let's see if we can reenact last night's resurgence? At least a little?

How do you like them rubber bands?

Go Burton!

I wanna find out what TP stands for!

Don't Pout.

Well done, Mr. Mauer (and Mr. Dozier and Mr. Santana of course)

Thanks! I'm a fan of the beeker version myself... (too lazy to look up that there youtube link at the moment, but could do it if ya want me to...)

It was indeed exciting! Thanks all!

I'll take "What time is it?" for the win...

Sorry i put my foot in my mouth there...

Yeah, not the ideal 9th inning so far. But not the end of the world either... It was good to have an insurance run this time.

Sorry. I'll try not to let it happen again... I might jinx something.

Yes. There is. Just don't ask me "on what?"

Well, Toronto came back only once in three attempts against us from a 2 run first inning deficit, i sure hope we can do it once in well, one attempt, i hope.

Sounds like Chicago is giving us the Toronto treatment...

Yes. I am okay with it. Good game all! And kudos to Pino! I look forward to his next start!

I'll let ya know in another half inning...

Yes!

Nice play by Suzuki on the bunt!

I'm also curious 'bout the etymology of the phrase. I'd say it is also a favorite of mine, though i couldn't say why, other than it sounds good. Anyway, i dig it; it is dug!
