      1. It's a tag. Add the "MLB.TV Free Game Of The Day" tag and the icon will appear on the front page.

  3. Ah
    Mauer and Hunter in the lineup
    Santana on the mound.
    It's like we're still in 2006.

        1. He was named Johan at one time too. Sadly, he's way better than the original Johan at this point.

  4. Butera is on the verge of his first ever season above the Mendoza line. He's at. 204 right now, though an 0 for 3 night would send him back below.

  5. oooh. Bert says Duff-man reminds Bert of himself. And Gordo immediately says its time to go to commercial break. Hahaha.

  6. Too bad I don't know how to kill the TV audio and run the radio audio instead on teh Interwebz.

        1. Ah, can't help you there. I've been unsuccessful getting the radio feed switched over when I watch on anything other than the roku.

  10. The last two nights Provus has said it would be a great time to break a slump: Santana walked, hicks singled home a run.

    1. that seems like an example of an ump being lazy and knowing full-well that his call would be challenged.

      1. He was in really bad position to be making that call. I think he was setting himself up for a play on the base.

        Though yes, he definitely seemed to make that call knowing he had backup.

  15. Hi everybody! Checking in from the BWW in Bellingham, WA where I can watch every game that matters. I have such an understanding wife.

  16. For some reason, mlb.tv keeps crashing my Wi-Fi when I watch it on the roku. Anyone else see anything like that?

    2. That's the nice part about a streaming device. On the roku I can select the audio feed and the radio is synced up with the video.

    1. For sure. Hicks was shading toward left, if he was playing straight up he makes that catch, too.

    3. Buxton probably has that straight up I'd he was playing left, right, or center.

      What I'm saying is I'd strongly prefer he were playing instead of hunter.

  23. Dazz with a low-key Gordo'ing on that can of corn. "Might have a chance...nope, just in front of the warning track."

  25. So...wife gets two tickets for the game tonight from her boss, basically for being awesome.
    Target. Corporate. Suite.
    I'm extremely happy for us, but this is Wed night.
    Thurs: scramble to find a sitter. Call, email and text every person we can think of, including one of the teachers at her daycare.
    Finally at 6:45 last night, we get a bite; my best friend's wife has plans but will cancel them. We say, "Awesome!"
    Kernel wakes up this morning with a sore throat. One of her classmates was sick Mon & Tues, but came to school anyway. Teachers tell us Wed that this kid's parents finally took her to the doctor: Strep throat.
    So, I stay home from work and take Kernel to the walk-in clinic hours at noon. Tell my wife to recruit a replacement - I'll stay home with the kiddo with strep. Text my buddy's wife that she won't be needed after all.
    Get in to see the doc about 12:40 - swabs kids throat (she hates this).
    While waiting, get a text from another buddy, "Got an extra ticket for the game tonight. Interested?"
    Doc comes back says, "Negative for strep, but we'll send a swab to the lab for culture. About 5% of the time, the initial 'negative' ends up positive, so treat her as though she's contagious.
    Wife recruited one of her oldest friends who's a stay-at-home mom.
    She. Was. Thrilled (to get outta the house).

    So, here I sit, watching baseball on my couch with you fine people while my wife - who HATES baseball - takes in the game from a suite.

    2. That's sort of how I got a ticket to that Detroit game(though not a suite). Sister in law got tickets from work for apparently being awesome, she hates baseball, brother asks if I want to go, I get approval since we were coming up anyway. Only difference is my kids didn't get sick and I got to go.

      1. I'm not getting the warm fuzzies here .... Houston up on Arizona early and Young's taking it to the fellas.

    1. giveaway to all fans - tomorrow's a TC Bear stocking cap for the first 10,000 (kids, I think).

  45. prediction: Escobar walk. Dozier HBP, Mauer walk, Sano bops them in with blast that goes over the third deck in LF

  51. Blyleven is such a marble mouth. He can't go two sentences in a row without stumbling over a word. Or three.

  55. Well, that about does it. Assuming Houston doesn't choke, I think we can all bid the postseason farewell. But damn, it was quite the ride.

    Still proud of this team considering what was expected of them. And I cannot WAIT for next year.
