1. A-Stud getting the day off today.

2. Dazzle says we're seeing some poor at-bats and poor approaches from the Twins batters lately. I don't dispute that, I just think it's remarkable that he said it. I've been generally impressed with the professional job Provus and Gladden have been doing on the games during all this losing.

3. Still tied after one inning!

4. We got a hit!

5. Among the other things the Twins don't do well, they don't seem to steal bases very well, either.

6. Solo home runs don't hurt you.

7. Well, I guess the tone of this game is set.

8. Old friend alert
   Carlos Gomez Can't Hit The Ball, But He Can Hit This Water Cooler

9. E4. Dozier is not helping his trade value.

10. Dazzle says of the roof, "Once they close it, they can't reopen it." Why would that be?

    1. So as not to give either team an advantage re: wind impact on batted balls.

       1. Think of the fun Bill Veeck could've had with a retractable roof! Until they made him stop, anyway.

          1. The Twns were once accused of manipulating the fans at the Metrodome to blow in or out when advantageous to the Twins.

             1. I remember that well. Funny how it only worked in 1987 and 1991.

                1. Whoever didn't have it blowing in while Eric Fox was at bat in 1992 hopefully was fired.

11. Sounds like the Twins got a break on that challenge. Well, we need all the breaks we can get.

    1. I think so. The play was so close you can't really argue it was a bad call either way.

    2. The umpire was so quick and certain about the out call that I figured he saw something that the TV didn't see.

12. Mauer double!

    1. ties puckett.

13. The Chairman gives the People extra bases!

14. Productive out!

15. Unproductive out.

16. Polanco "can run a little bit".

    1. And he does!

17. Why would they not have put air conditioning in the stadium? Just trying to do it on the cheap?

    1. That's why the Dome was under budget: no AC.

18. Come on, Cave-Man. We need a clutch hit.

    1. Nope.

19. They're getting people in position. They just need any kind of clutch hit.

20. Consecutive innings with a man on second, none out, and zero runs.

21. And apparently they can open the roof up again after all.

22. Now the roof opens, in flagrant disrespect of the rules of God and man.

23. 20 scoreless innings.

24. Dozier double!

25. So far, the Twins' run expectancy with a man on second and none out has been zero. Let's see if they can change that this inning.

26. Productive out. But they've not scored with a man on third and one out, either.

27. A RUN! WHERE ARE THE FIREWORKS!

28. A run!

29. I'm out. I may be back, depending on how long the game goes. Let's get some runs!

30. Who's in the booth with Dick?

    1. LaTroy Hawkins

    2. loaded question

31. Time to eat a rally burrito

32. WOW what a catch! Robbed Dozier of a HR

    1. Would be a tie game without it :-/

    2. I wasn't too thrilled with the two-minute, chest-pounding "look at me, everybody" celebration after the catch, but then, I'm an old man. It's also quite possible I wouldn't have minded it nearly as much if it had been done by somebody on my team, rather than on the other team.

       1. You're part owner? 😉

          1. I would guess that I probably follow them more closely than the owner.

33. ESCOBAR!!!!!!!

34. woohoo, spookied that one.

35. LLL LLL

    1. Made it another one-run loss.
