Joe Mauer reaches base.
The sun still sets in the west.
Another week, another triple by Rosario.
Triples are cool.
You know, with the Rangers playing the Astros right now, this game tonight feels completely unimportant since they can't lose any ground on the second wild card. Perfect situation for Hughes to return.
Logical fallacy, but I get you
I try to keep my logic and my sports separate. It's the only way I've been able to survive as a Wolves fan this long. Now if only I could do that for a four year old.
I'd prefer they not lose any ground on the first wildcard, actually
There is that, but I find it better to ignore such details en I'm rationalizing.
The Twins need 6 wins to guarantee themselves a .500 season.
It's only the 6th, but it's not feeling like they'll knock one of those out tonight.
I do recall feeling that way in the sixth inning of a previous game against Detroit at Target Field, though....
That wasn't a call ... just a feeling. 😉
Also, I know it's irrational as I've never met the guy, but something about Boyer just bugs the living hell outta me.
I think Boyer bugging you is perfectly reasonable.
A lot of fans complain about Boyer, but he's been waaaay better than anyone could have expected and should be lauded for it more than he has been.
It's the beard, though
I'm not complaining too much about the results. But yes, the beard (and I'm a dedicated beard wearer) and somehow, he reminds me of a red-headed crazy Gary Busey.
Rally inning?
If the previous few years have taught me anything, it's that that is what the sixth inning is for.
81 0-run inning!?!
Now we got something cooking!
A heapin' helping, please
They are about to get a taste of that succulent Detroit bullpen.

I'd like seconds too, please
Man, this already slowly paced game has ground to a halt.
It'd be awesome if Sano could slow it down further with one of those slow trots around the bases.
That was Sano's first hit when the bases were loaded.
Now 1-8 and a walk in his career!
Whoa, Texas has a dude pitching right now with an olde timey windup.
Former Pittsburgh Pirate great Ross Ohlendorf!
He only got to face one batter though, which is a bummer.
ESPN announcer Dallas Braden sporting a vest, like he was wearing a three piece suit at some point tonight. Sharp!
Drink!
Perhaps Rosario should bat fifth and Plouffe 6th so Plouffe will stop hitting into double plays.
Yeah, I love Plouffe and all, but keeping him away from the on base machines would be prudent.
Mmm hmm. Ideal 6th or 7th hitter
Joe probably leads the league in being either out in DPs
A Bullscobar would be pretty great right about now.
Whoops, game day was a little slow for me.
Hi everybody!
Ugh, I guess that's my fault.
No, that's your fault!
Neshek just left the mound for Houston. I'm totes glad he's still in the game.

Sweet baby Jesus to the plate.
And he walks on water.
TWINS BASEBALL!!!TWINS BASEBALL!!!!TWINS BASEBALL!!!
Don't look now, but Joe's been heating up lately.
Where you guys been hiding? I thought I was talking to myself here.
Alright. Let it Sano.
Ugh.
Crud.
Blarfh.
Drat.
Ugly at bat by our man, but we'll get em tomorrow.
Aye
With Sano, they're only ugly if he strikes out without swinging. That was plenty exciting until he struck out.
Heh, wow, you're reaching on that one.
