Brian Dozier is not an All Star. Yet. He finished second in the fan voting for the final spot. but as we all know, there will be injuries and pull outs before the game so I am not shedding a tear for him.
Lets get a win tonight!

Once more the Twins are throwing at batters far too few for my liking.
Max Kepler with a shoulder injury, missing the Futures Game? WHY CAN'T WE HAVE ANYTHING NICE?!
Another opportunity to throw at a batter wasted. And the deficit increases.
I gotta admit, I don't really understand your fascination with intentionally trying to injure people with potentially lethal projectiles.
Carries over from Strat-O-Matic days. A HBP is as good as a BB, and fewer pitches, too!
Not sure why you believe I'm wanting to injure anyone -- these guys all have major league plunkable backsides.
Looks like I'm taking one for the team here. Unless things improve drastically, stay away from this stinker.
I'm watching. More or less. Nothing to comment on though.
You all left to early.
I however got here right on time
Who left?
My timing was perfect too! Turned it on with bases loaded down 6 - 2.
That was a rocket by Sano. Too bad it bounced before leaving the park.
The Joe and Sano Show
Too bad they took so long to start a rally, probably a good chunk of the attendees have left by now
Things getting interesting. Suzuki doesn't move from the HBP to score the run. Winning run at the plate now.
Well a grand slam would make my day
There just weren't enough runners ... not your fault Beau!
SEND HIM!!
Not a grand slam but it is 6-5 now.
okay, I think we'll take that.
Dozier really upset about not making the All-Star team.
!!!!!!!!!
Tigers with the coveted SOC and BS in one game.
I think that a Tigers GOSO?
Just came over to say ......
Holy cow. I can't believe what I just heard. That was awesome. And that is under stating it
Just insanity here. The most fun moment I've attended since the end of game 163. I called it before the Santana at bat to my brother.
You weren't wearing a LeCroy jersey, were you? Because Atteberry commented on seeing one.
Nope sadly not me. Random jerseys I saw today :
Diamond, _elm_n, Blackburn, and Michael Bennett (Vikings).
I told my brother they had an eight run inning in them. That was my first ever walk off home run I've attended.
I "called it," I guess you could say, but I was mostly just making jokes about the coolest things that could happen. When Suzuki-Santana were up, I shrugged and said "he'll have to get hit by a pitch. It's his best case scenario at this point of his career. And Dozier will bail us out with the home run."
I rarely see home runs period for some reason, and I've never seen a walk-off. I actually can't remember any walk-off hits, period, that I've ever seen in person, though it has to have happened.
I was in attendance at the Metrodome when Torii Hunter had a walk-off walk.
I saw Doumit's walk off double a couple years back
Sorry I was too distracted by all the yelling, mostlyine
How huge was that replay.
I feel like the bandwagon just got a turbo boost
And Trevor May with two relief appearances and two relief Wins, both on Dozier walk-offs. I like this combo.
Didn't even think of that - pretty cool. I just hope they didn't use all their series bullets in the 9th ... first Twins game for Kernel & Niblet tomorrow.
Also at the game. Spent several innings BSing with cheap (didn't see Will's message until he was gone)
Best game I've ever been to. Nothing comes close.
And until the 9th, a bad game. But of course, the worse a game starts makes it all the more fun to win it.
That last inning and a half was so much fun. We also sat in the wrong section when we went back down so we weren't near those terrible fans.
Also, my throat is a little scratchy now.
Yep, my throat's toast as well.
Mine too
I was watching this game at the bar and it was 6-0
I got in the car 2 hours later and the post game show was still on I thought that was odd. Then they said the Twins scored 7 in the 9th and I was like whoa.

Same source:
I came this close to turning the game off. Instead, since I was watching online delayed for a couple hours, so I just watched the Twins' half of each inning, which, of course, got me through the game very quickly until the 9th. I can't remember winning a game trailing by 5 or more runs. 5 is such a magic number because you have to score at least 1 run before you can bring the tying run to the plate. As the inning kept going, I figured the whole goal for the Twins should be to get Dozier to the plate (although it would have been funny if Santana homered instead of singled to leave Dozier on deck). What shouldn't be lost in all the excitement is the Twins' bullpen shutting out the Tigers for five innings. Also, the Twins clinched a winning homestand.
This game brought back some really nice memories.
I had forgotten about this one. A lot of help with wildness, but drama nonetheless.
I was at that game, too! Alex Rios's throw to end the game was hilarious. It ended up about 50 feet away from home plate.
I can't remember if it was this one or not, but I remember a similar game against the White Sox. I remember them being down 6-1 and coming back and winning, but I remember the score being 8-6.
Wow, I didn't think it was that long ago, but I think this is the game I was thinking of.
I noticed it last night, but watch the replay of Dozier's home run and pay attention to the stairs about half way up.
Ha, that's awesome!
I don't see it
Here's the video. Assuming this is what the other three mention, go to 1:49 and focus halfway up the stairs on the left side for a guy in a blue shirt and dark shorts.
I see it now
Oh snap. That had to be unpleasant.
