1. Dozier's K is the Twins' 37th of this series. Good Lord.

   1. Funny how that corresponds with the bunch of home runs the Twins have hit this series, too.

      1. Bremer can't make sense of a team winning two of three when so many of its runs are scored via the long ball.

         1. Everyone knows that you need sac bunts to score runs.

2. I'll admit to still liking the unis the Hosers are wearing today.

3. E-1

   good golly

   1. Didn't look like Morneau called it, or if he did Correia didn't listen. Definitely should have been Mornie's play, but Correia still should have caught it.

4. Corriea with 2 strikeouts in one inning. thats gotta be a record.

5. YDNROJM
   Mauer having a tough time throwing to second

6. I thought Garcia was out at first, but Bert was talking about pinwheel fireworks from 30 years ago so we'll just say the ump must have gotten it right.

   1. actually, it was from 40 years ago.

      1. The important thing is: Bert admitted to being frightened of fireworks.

      2. Yeesh, my math skills have deteroriated. Or I can blame it on getting dumber from listening to Dick'n'Bert.

7. this 4 man booth needs more Hawk Harrelson.

   1. You know, I wouldn't mind a retired player coming in every now and then and causing the conversation to totally devolve into stories of the past if that wasn't 90% of what Dick and Bert focused on already.

      1. I nominate Kent Hrbek

         1. Yeah. There's a good chance he'll come in semi-loaded and just hurl playful insults around. Nothing wrong with that, occasionally.

8. nice baserunning.

9. Tom Paciorek, in the booth, asked how to pronounce Sano's last name. Bremer offered that it rhymes with "Cano." Is that right? No tilde over the N?

   1. rhymes with Cano is correct.

      1. Whoa. That's gonna take some getting used to. I remember assuming the pronunciation of "Cuddyer" incorrectly for years, too, until I was straightened out upon his promotion to the big leagues. IIRC, the radio guys mispronounced it, which is most of the reason why I did.

         1. They're from the same hometown, so chances were it was the same even before their confirmation on that

            1. They are. Huh.

               1. Yep.

                  

10. KKKKKorriea!

    1. Yeah, what's gotten into Kevin? All these strikeouts are starting to worry me.

       1. he's been watching our batters

11. not baseball related, but awesome

    lightning strikes as Usain Bolt crosses the finish line

12. it was a walk, but having Colabello on the running end of a hitnrun seems silly

13. HOMERDOZIER

14. spookied that one.

15. not a homer
    

16. I spookied that, too. GUYS! IT'S BACKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK

17. MAUER WITH POWER!

18. 

19. everyone is hitting homers today

    Cedar Rapids Kernels ‏@CRKernels
    Adam Brett Walker with a towering 3-run HR over the batters eye in center! Kernels lead 6-1 as we head to the bottom of the 5th.

    Walker now with 26 HR and 102 RBI. Franchise record for RBI is 121 by John Tanner in 1949.

    1. Can of Corn has enough kids to form an entire team?!

20. what the heck? With that many K's, it's gotta mean that the Sox batters aren't even trying.

    1. Are they intentionally losing? Get the band back together for Eight Men Out II: The Curse of Shoeless Joe!

       1. Say it ain't so, Konerko!

21. F8-7-6-4 DP in the Yankees/Tigers game. I think Brett Gardner got a concussion on the play too, or at the very least got the wind knocked out of him. Wild stuff.

    1. Apparently, Gardner is OK after hitting a walkoff.

22. Heh, i like how, after reading the game log so far, i was shocked to see it was 5-0 Twins.

    1. Ha, yeah. "Wait, spoons has gone back to spookying Twins home runs?!"

       1. It's great that you rediscovered your gift when they're only hitting home runs.

          1. Yeah, that's probably the one and only reason the feeling came back. The Cell is good for somethin', it turns out.

23. Dick Bremer dropping BABIP knowledge. wow

24. Those outs were much closer to the fence than I like.

    1. Reminds me of every single Rick Reed out.

25. probably a good time to get Corriea out of the game

26. Just noticed that I, too, have correctly picked seven playoff teams so far. Well, for fun!

27. aw, there goes the shutout

28. 3 of 4 in ChiTown, a winning road trip
    let the good times roll!

29. I fell asleep in the 3rd. It was nice to wake up in the 9th to a 5-0 lead.

30. EVERY run in the series by homer?

    1. So, obviously, the question needs to be asked whether the twins have ever done that before.

       1. FSN is the first time in MLB history a team have scored 19+ runs in a series, all by HR.

31. lost one of our best relief pitchers

    Phil Miller ‏@MillerStrib
    Carroll traded to KC

    1. Whoa! Inter-divisional trade immediately following a game? What is that?

       1. Well, it should ratchet up their average age quite a bit.

          1. Not if he's replacing Miguel Tejada in the lineup.

32. I like it when the Twins hit home runs. I like it when our starting pitcher pitches seven shutout innings, too. We're still on track for 99-63!
