Cup of CoffeeThe Spurs and Heat are going to a seventh game after by far the best game of the series (and most series). Let’s just avoid a blowout in the end, alright? WGOM FitnessLast night I played tennis with a 15-year-old girl (my wife’s cousin), and was beaten pretty soundly. Read more… Quest for 73-89

the Twins lead the AL in fielding DP’s by 10 over the Blue Jays coming into this game.
It’s easy to get a lot of DPs when the opponents are getting a lot of runners on base.
And the pitchers never strike out anyone.
we are not getting no hit tonight.
For only the 48th time all season!
Warning track Mauer.
Top of the Twins order batting .304, .304, .305
And they still can’t score. Bums!
Is that a slash line?
Morneau has 29 hits. 17 of them are for extra bases (8 doubles, 9 HRs)
Anagram fun -- Cole De Vries
Decries Love
Device Loser
Covered Lies
Iced Resolve
Sled Over Ice
Eviler Coeds
Elder’s Voice
Levied Score
Discover Lee
Eviler Coeds. Redundant?
Walking the guy hitting .156 does not seem like something the smartest pitcher in baseball would do.
He was clearly due, so can’t risk losing the no-hitter.
Hmm, didn’t know that was going on. I’m sure a homerun will take care of that and the shutout pretty soon.
At The Cafeteria in Uptown for Daughter the Elder’s birthday. I hope we win.
Lotta walks for Old King Cole.
200 pitch no-hitter. Let’s see it.
Then send him to Rochester and let them worry about it.
Enough with the walking!!!
Just got back from Another Bike Shop’s group ride (don’t tell my shop!). Kept up with the upper B’s for most of the ride, then bonked with about a mile to go, weirdly so. When I got home and put my bike away, I found that the back brake had gotten stuck and had been applying pressure all that time -- kak.
I’ve done the same. The discovery is relieving and annoying at the same time.
Yeah, this guy kept coming back to stay with me so I could keep the route. He: Nice Guy. Me: Slug-bunt.
Has Cole been getting squeezed all game, or just on that first pitch to Smith?
Nice. Ice the pitcher.
Back. From. The. Edge.
The no hit dream lives!
Twins baseball!
Dazzle says the SS made a 380 spin before he threw that ball.
It was more like 290.
That’s what happens when you give 110% effort out there.
Simple math tells me that’s only 105.555555…% effort.
Correct. See what happens when you give 110% effort in math!
I think that’s a 95.959595% effort though.
DW: had the in-laws from A.L. here this last weekend. Low key, couldn’t do too much due to knee problems -- played cards -- watched movies. Did you go to school in A.L.? FIL was asking.
From what I can recall, nobody there actually went to school.
I find myself eagerly anticipating the radio commercials so I don’t have to listen to Dazzle drone on about his playing days.
Mexico, Puerto Rico, Venezuela, Japan. It’s like a dream to me now…
Now that the no-hitter is over, maybe Cole will stop walking everyone.
A double is definitely not a walk.
Ô Canada!
Protégera nos foyers et nos droits.
Has an arm fallen off yet?
WebGem?
The coors light ads with ice cube are terrible.
It’s hard to believe that’s the same guy who wrote “Today Was a Good Day.”
He certainly doesn’t need to use his AK to punch the top of his coors light can.
I really hope I don’t have to fix that for you.
I came in here almost specifically to Dothan, but then decided it was a bit too easy.
Auto correct is a bitch.
Blast! I’m new at this iPad shit.
That’s gold Jerry!
I’m enjoying it just the way meat wrote it.
I don’t like it when the road team wears their home jerseys.
Cole DeVries with “five pretty good innings” according to Bert. I imagine of Light Rail had tossed those same five innings, he would’ve absolutely destroyed him.
Well, Baker wouldn’t have kept the ball down, though. Or something. Blech, now I’m hearing Bert’s voice in my head.
We’re supposed to get some nasty weathah tonite. I heard tornado warnings for Western Mass.
I’m assuming this was for Greek, but I kind of like it below a comment on Bert’s commentary.
Yeah -- not sure how that happened.
I’d blame autocorrect
Beryl is coming! It’s scheduled to hit Charleston at almost exactly the same time my class starts tomorrow. It’s already dumping a bunch of rain on us and it’s pretty windy out.
Captain Jeff’s Pitchin’ Ship.
That looks eerily like the ink on my shoulder…like, I’m having trouble figuring out how you got the pencil from my artist, eerie.
Ed Ruscha is your tattoo artist?
Most excellent, thanks for the link. My guy does have his MFA so it’s entirely possible that the piece we developed was influenced by Mr. Ruscha, though mine’s not nearly so spectral.
More AAA pitchers! Call them all up!
I feel like Justin Morneau would be a kick butt tennis player.
I’d love to see him helicopter his racquet over his head after a slam.
Fun fact. Not all world class athletes are good at tennis. In fact, some of them are downright terrible.
A lot of bald guys. Just saying.
I’m not bald, I’m a decent athlete and I am very not good at tennis. That sport takes a lot of practice.
Et ta valeur, de foi trempée.
I like this version of jason morneau.
Hey Bert, this is not a pitching duel.
It’s not exactly a hitting duel, either. It’s more like a battle of “who wants it less”.
Oakland with as many hits as errors. Clearly, they have no chance with their .040 winning percentage.
Damn, something better than .040 now.
Dang, A’s need more errors now.
evening, all.
I can only speak for myself, Dick, but I don’t have a bone sticking out the side of my foot.
Grrrrrrrrrr
So that about does it for the Twin’s chances this game, eh?
As long as they give 110%, they have a 130% chance of winning.
Now that’s math everyone can use!
Boooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooo ooo. Ooooo. Ooo. O o
Slugbunt. Heh.
That may be the worst bunt single I’ve ever seen.
Uh, only Derek Jeter and Michael Young hit lefties better than Mauer?
Booooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Carp
On an unrelated note, the Spurs just brought down the house in the WCF.
Is that like when the Metrodome collapsed?
Gonna need at least 1 run tonight. Who knew?
From Weather Underground: Overcast with thunderstorms and rain showers. Low of 68F. Winds from the SSW at 5 to 10 mph shifting to the West after midnight. Chance of rain 90% with rainfall amounts near 1.2 in. possible
We’ve seen worse.
Why can’t we have runs?
Too messy.
+the
Diarrhea is very dangerous!
Finally, all that Spanish is paying off.
Looks like this kid has a crap load (no pun intended) of food coloring in his diet.
Clean water and basic sanitation?
Booooooooooo
Time to drive home. Maybe changing my location will help the offense get going.
the ass bats would still find you, bhiggum.
I was about halfway home when Willingham walked off. Evidently the ass bats got lost somewhere near Norway Center, South Dakota.
the key was having you on the move, bhigs.
If this was instead a mildly successful game, we would have a chance at 90,000 comments. Have to wait until tomorrow I suppose.
I imagine if they make a comeback we can get to 90.
I hope we hit 90 tonight!
I feel good about this Morneau AB.
I’m guessing Mountie walks, Doumit hits a dinger, Capps blows the save.
Base on Balls good.
Not my first choice for a result for that PA, but I’ll take it. Let’s pinch hit Thome.
Too bad he’s on the DL. He is available in the WGOM fantasy league though!
Sweet! I’ll take two.
Hit a donger Plouffe, you’re our only hope.
Bleh.
Balls.
I’m blaming Magoo.
YDNRORD!
Nice throw.
Perkins balls balls.
so, this OKC-SA game is still a thing.
Did somebody tell Perkins the no-hitter is over?
Brandon Inge, no like.
These A’s pitchers used to be Twins.
They can’t be that good.
Let’s win this thing!
I’m busting out the rally lobster.
Time for Revere to hit his first home run!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Oh yeah!
Revere? Gotta be a bunt.
Nick Punto School of Not Bunting Well
Probably into short center.
I really wish Revere wasn’t such a horrible bunter.
That’s why you don’t bunt. Fielders are way in, making it much, much easier to get a hit.
Revere, if it’s at your face don’t bunt it.
My god…that is just awful.
We really needed an error on that play.
YES!
WILLINGHAMMERRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THRILLINGHAMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So, did Mags stay for that one, or not?
I thought he will be attending Wednesday’s game.
His loss!
Winning streak!!
YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
How about that.
GTFOUTTA HERE!!!!211123!@#@!4r
Day game tomorrow with a chance to sweep. Who knew?
And we do hit 90,000 tonight!
I’m so excited my pants just exploded!
I felt a disturbance in the force.
I really wanted that to be 90,000, but HomerDome screwed me.
I felt that, too.
Yes!
aw man, fuentes was one of my closers…
You should have went with Capps.
I was really tired and ready for bed like 5 minutes ago.
just watched the highlight. i like bert’s casual “that’s a helluva call” remark.
That was actually pretty awesome -- very conversational.
Less “hell of a call” when you consider that Dick does the same thing just about every game, but still.
Bert makes a homer call a lot more often, if memory serves.
Watching the replay’s this morning, this was in regards to Dick saying that there has only been 1 walkoff HR at Target Field.
Hey, that was a pretty exciting finish. We should do that more often.
Still on track for 130-32!
