It's Linds and I's fifth anniversary today, so we're going to be sitting right up close to the first base line for this one. The good news is that we'll get to see one of the best pitchers in the major leagues, the bad news is that he'll be pitching against us.
Justin Verlander takes on (digs hand in starting rotation box and pulls out random slip of paper) P.J. Walters.
Oh, yeah. This should be wonderful.
It's the last Saturday game of the year. I expect this game log to be packed when I get home.
I would try to pack it, but I have a wedding this afternoon. The rest of you will have to handle Verlander without me.
I did spend the morning helping someone pack up their stuff for a move, if that counts.
Nibbish is watching a no-hitter in the making!
bandbox
Tigers PBP guy, but Tom Verducci as color man. He is not shy in through in modern stats like Defensive Efficiency
With luck, Walters can ratchet up his pitch count while the score is still relatively close.
Walters K's Cabrera twice now. wow.
PBP guy gets Florimon and Escobar mixed up (Says Florimon came from the Sox in the Liriano trade). To be honest, I think most Twins fans do that too.
Wait, I thought his name was Escobar Florimon. I see now that There's a P Florimon and an E Escobar.
I rocked that trivia question; we'll see in anyone else is awake or not this game.
a hit!
SEND HIM!!
(yes!)
that rally disappeared like a fart in the wind.
Wow. Losing the no-hitter really pissed off Verlander.
*forehead slap for a strike*
The Lead Off Double For No Runs just never seems to get old."elm'n Young is the key to the Tigers offense." - someone on tv.
*takes a deep breath* SEND HIM!!!!!!
its getting to the point where Joe Mauer needs to get a hit every at bat to pass Miggy
aw, son of a ... I looked up the trivia answer for 1969 instead of 1968. well, that's about par for this game
Justin Morneau has been getting hosed on that outside strike all day long.
leadoff baserunner...no runs scored. Twins baseball!
Burnett? GOSO
serious.
EFF
No Christmas card from Joe this year, Casey.
Suck it, Nibbish. *sigh*
86 walks on the year for Mauer, thats a career high.
Thats the 19th time in Twins history has a batter walked at least 86.
The last time was in 2000 when Matt Lawton walked 91.
Mauer might surpass that in this series alone.
Come on, Winchells!
DUUUUDDDDDEEEEEE!!!!!!
Suck it, Nibbish!GRAND DONUTS!!!
That was a 'wait, what'? kind of moment for me.
8 RBI for Doumit in the last 2 games
Well this game suddenly got interesting. I almost turned it off but I wanted to hear how Mauer did this inning first.
Joe'll get another chance to walk in the 9th now, too
Time to beat Danceypants again.
Joe Mauer can has walk off?
Sorry, Joe doesn't speak LOLCAT.
at least they made it interesting
Another comeback falls short. Last home game of the year coming up. Let's make it count. We'll just have to settle for 70-92.
