At least Dozier isn't going to lose a home run. I assume the teams are going to try to complete the game tonight due to being so late in the season. They should postpone it until it's needed. The Twins need all the help they can get to avoid 103 losses.
Had the Hnos up to the house in Scandia tonite to help with chain-sawing, garage clearing, etc.
Quite the dramatic storms, tho, going through the area - line from Elk River, Blaine, Brooklyn Park, to us in Scandia.
The Bros defied the gods and took out most of the trees that were hanging over the garage, despite the rains. OK we're wet, whatever.
NBBW delivered Scandia Pizza (awesome) and we ate it in the garage, watching the light-show over Marine/Stillwater, like fireworks.
Most members of the crowd today appear to have disguised themselves as empty seats.
I'm a 10 minute walk from ballpark and right now it's kinda nice out. I'd so head over to the game if I wasn't going on a 5 day vas stun tomorrow.
I'm not going on a 5 day vas stun tomorrow (or wouldn't talk about it if I were). 5-day vacation.
I still might head to the ballpark however.
Twins play their last series of the year in Chicago. I'll probably check out the last game at least. Maybe another. Tickets will be cheap.
Now Dozier (*checks the weather again*) has broken the AL 2B record.
how about that?? Two and forty blackbirds, baked in a pie
Pepper's really been slacking lately when it comes to catching the pie references?
Gee,I wonder who the Twins M V P will be this season.
They'll probably give it to someone on the 1987 team because the Twins love to live in the past.
I'm surprised they overturned that. I think he was out, but I was far from certain.
So of the 3 Twins to reach base today, 2 have been thrown out stealing. The other was a home run. TWINS BASEBALL!!
Dean looks to be settling in, though.
I have to say I'm more interested in Dazzle's analysis of foul ball catching effort than the TV guys' bunting fascination.
I was home for the first hour of the game, but I still turned down the sound on the TV and listened to the radio guys.
no no no, you see, you try to deaden the ball with the bat.
It's rather disappointing that the best pinch-hitter we have to use is Logan Schafer.
Is the difference between Schafer and Juan Centeno big enough to justify using 2 players? I guess with the bases loaded, it does help that Schafer walks a little more than Centeno, but still, it doesn't seem enough to worry about using 2 players for one move.
Looking at Schafer's career numbers, I would say, no, it definitely wasn't worth it. More like, what were you thinking, Molitor?
what were you thinking, Molitor?

A wild pitch on an intentional walk. Can't anybody here play this game?
Okay, so that explains this in my feed
Erick Aybar intentionally walks in the top of the 9th, Justin Upton scores. The Tigers extend their lead over the Twins 4-2.
Can we give Pat Light back?
I'm waiting for him to show up. This isn't the guy I read about after the trade. Besides the wildness, of course. He supposedly was hitting 100 on occasion. Were they using KPH on that occasion?
Yeah, V-Mart, we knew how that story was going to end.
please, no train wrecks - too close to home
Sorry, call 'em how I see 'em. Or heck, how my phone updates me about 'em
One run score on an intentional walk, another on a strikeout. I've never seen a team want that first pick so badly.
some of us work in the railroad industry. I don't think any Citizens work with waste removal or fire departments, though
or hot messes. That would also be appropriate
We used to do crane Crain wrecks. We could always go back to those.
What the $#&*$ happened to the low-scoring, well-played, tight ballgame that I was watching?
you stopped watching?
I'm gonna assume it was rained out.
No no no, can't lose another Dozier home run.
Santana can't win them all. Twins well on their way to loss 98.
This club can certainly find the most interesting ways to lose ball games.
Oh, and choosing not to play a first baseman at first base (despite the expanded roster) led to those last two runs when Beresford had no chance on that Dozier throw.
Expanded roster... and they run out of outfielders
"What were you thinking, Molitor?"
98 losses and a .359 winning percentage. If that holds, they'll finish at 58-104.
In some ways, I think it's better the Twins finish the season this way. That way, there's no doubt that the front office needs an overhaul and maybe even Jim Pohlad will change his mind on the Molitor ultimatum.
Berrios has thrown 47 pitches through two innings. Not good!
Probably won't matter since it is probably going to be delayed and knock him out of the game anyways.
Cabrera killed that ball. Thank you, wind.
My parents live in Maple Grove. It sounds like they are getting hammered with rain right now.
And here comes the pretzels! (well rain)
