1. oooh, baseball kind of snuck up on me today

   2-0 Baltimore after 1

2. well well well now. Martinez HRs x2

3. Is there anybody cheering for Detroit?

   1. I assume most of the baseball fans that live in that city and the surrounding suburbs.

4. Tillman and Kinsler goes 15 pitches into an at bat to get the out, Torii is the next batter and bunts on the first pitch *facepalm*

   1. They've had a number of long at-bats against Tillman. His pitch count is getting pretty high.

5. Tillman threw 105 pitches. Thirty of them were to Kinsler.

   1. That..... is amazing.

6. Everyone thought that was a HR, the batter the pitcher the announcer, I mean everyone. Pearce thrown out at second base. hahaha

   1. It's the playoffs, son. Don't take anything for granted.

7. Miller going 1.2 tonight may make him unavailable tomorrow. Shows the importance Showalter puts on trying to win Game One when he has the chance.

   1. I remember a few times when the Twins won games 1...

      1. 1965 for instance!

         1. 1987, 1991...

      2. 2002 twice, 2003, 2004...

8. Wish the Twins could ever get a shortstop like Hardy.

   1. probably just trade him for a proven closer

      1. Would take that over a couple unproven middle relievers. But he throws hard!

9. Tigers announcers have been complaining about the ball/strike calls. Warranted?

10. I last saw the score as 4-2 Orioles. Now it's 11-3. O's wearing out the Tig's pen early.

    1. wait, Tigers have a pen?

    2. Didn't everyone wear out the Tigs bullpen early this year?

11. It's an eight-run inning!

    1. In the eighth!

12. My twitter feed is blowing up over Christian Ponder. Why they just don't with over to a pretty compelling LAAAAAA v. Royals I just don't understand.

    1. This doesn't bother me much. The argument about baseball dying is that it's more regional and the game doesn't involve the local nine. Perhaps more importantly is the football game is on CBS but the baseball game is on TBS.

       1. the football game is on CBS but the baseball game is on TBS.

          nailed it.

       2. Perhaps more importantly is the football game is on CBS but the baseball game is on TBS.

          I can't watch TBS, but I still didn't watch the football game.

13. This game is going to take a while if both teams score the same number of runs every half inning.

14. Angels walked Butler.
    Pinch Runner time!!!

15. runner on 2nd, 1 out, automatic bunt here, right? =p

    1. yost has to keep them guessing

16. Troutober

    I kind of like that.

17. I've been in and out of this one while taking care of Spookymilk Survivor duties. Who's still awake?

    Marble Brewery Red Ale here. They're touted, but it's...well, it's a Red Ale. There's no denying that. If I went to the dictionary and asked for the definition of Red Ale, this would probably be it. Unfortunately, I ache for the weird.

    1. I hear ya, milk man. This beer only has interesting hops and malt? I wanted something with some unusual yeast characteristics, too!

    2. I shoudl be sleeping, but cant turn this game off.

       1. I'm not watching.
          Not even listening.
          Just reading the gameday classic.

    3. Marble IPA is one of my all time favorites. The rest of their generic offerings are well made but meh.

       1. Yeah, I bought it on the strength of their IPA.

18. A KANSAS CITY HOME RUN
    WHAT THE WHAT

    1. yost has to keep them guessing
       he called for that homer from the dugout

       1. Ahh yes, the element of surprise.

19. WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

    I'll stay up for that, sure.

    I suppose it's only 10 here, but I'm tired. Sue me.

20. Going with Holland over Ventura in a save situation?
    I don't think anyone will disagree with that tomorrow.

21. Suck it, Scioscia!

22. Just another run-of-the-mill Royals playoff victory.

    1. 5-game winning streak!
