I suppose I could "Sell hope" and say that the Twins still have a shot of getting back into thing because the next week or so, they play the dregs of the AL and NL. But I'm not doing that. This team does not have the bullpen arms to make it.
But I also hope they don't trade off the good players for pennies. If Ervin Santana is pitching for us in September thats fine by me. If he gets flipped for Mike Trout, thats cool too.
Jaime Garcia gets his first (only?) start for the Twins. We'll see how his stuf plays in the American League. The A's are tossing out a rookie named Daniel Gossett. (insert seligshrug.gif here)
They still need a
defense against the dark arts teachershortstop, too.I was just listening to the interview with Molitor, and he seemed excited to get Buxton back on Tuesday.
Also, Smalley's in the booth! I don't know if I could've taken much more Black Jack.
I recognize 3 players starting for Oakland.
DONT BUNT
Ullger'd
No, he was jogging. Get your ass moving, Eddie.
That, too.
Ugh, not a good send there.
Looked like ball 4

NO FREAKIN' HITTER!!
Sano is playing shallow on Lowrie.
Pitcher's best friend. Nice turn.
Wiggle, wiggle inning for Garcia.
Smoov, Joe.
A's baseball!
how does a wild pitch go into the stands? impressive.
That was a weird send
Wow. More A's baseball.
A's. Freaking. Baseball.
Feeling sort of bad for Lavarnway here.
Wow. This is getting Little League.
uhh...
TWINS BASEBALL!!fine, A's baseball.Haha, Roy Smalley just said "A's Baseball"
SEND HIM!!
now you're on the trolley.
That was a pretty weird sequence.
double double, y'all.
it's fun to watch the video with the radio audio feed just to see how much the announcers stretch the truth (both dazzle and provus).
No matter the method or context, I'll take a Twins win over a Twins loss 6/6 days, and twice on Sunday.
