1. My twitter feed says the Brewers scored 2 early runs.

   1. Now three. They have to be feeling really well scoring off Scherzer.

2. I cant wait to hear how loud Target Field is going to get when it hosts the Playoff game

   1. Especially when they close out the sweep there!

   2. Yeah, we really haven't had too many moments where you figure it would be like the playoffs this year. Closest I can recall is Garver's 3-run homer against the Indians. That was the only game of that series the Twins won, and then they went on the road, and the only teams left were the White Sox and Royals, and we had a pretty commanding lead at that time.

3. Ron darling sucks, by the way. I really hate that part of the playoffs is on tbs.

   1. Also, Ernie Johnson is not the best play by play guy. Make me long for ESPN's crew.

      1. Yeah, he's terrible too. Even calling basketball games. Guh, TBS is just crap in general.

         1. Ernie is great in the NBA studio holding court with Chuck, Kenny and Shaq.

            1. Hard no.

               But I'm not claiming any objective truth on the matter.

4. Every run has scored from a homer. It's as if hitting a lot is good.

   1. I was told by a salty Cubs fan than it has ruined the game, though.

      1. Are there salt free cubs fans?

5. That was a pretty embarrassing plate appearance by Robles.

6. Remember when Marwin hit a 3-run homer off Hader to put the Twins back in first place?

   1. He he, that was awesome.

   2. I said it then, and I'll say it now:
      Eat shit, Hader.

7. Hard to overturn that call

8. The moral of the story here is: don't choke up, kids.

   1. Even if they get the call wrong.

9. !!!!

10. Wow.

    That was something else.

11. Oh, man. Nightmare for the right fielder

    1. I'm having flashbacks to 2006.

       1. same

12. Oooops. Though considering the pitcher this does not upset me.

13. Ho-lee Cow!!!

14. I just turned the game on just before this half inning, so I'll take credit for it. Did they PH for Strasburg?

    1. Taylor HBP for him.

       1. Get in there and take one, Dorn!

       2. I thought Jake was supposed to bunt for a hit.

15. Eat shit, Hader

16. Well that was a quick turn. Single, inning over, 11 pitches later game over. I especially like how little Soto cared he TOOTBLAN'd.

17. Well, that's who I figured would win but the way I figured it would happen. If anyone would have taken an early lead and blew it late, it would have been the Nats. Hader had a 0.00 ERA in 10 previous postseason innings in 7 games. If Hader can have an inning like that, then anyone can. That's why I love the drama of the postseason but don't put much stock in "Count Da Rings!"

18. So. I was reading a story of free agent pitchers. Strasburg can opt out this year. The crazy thing is he is listed as 31 years old!? Why did I think he was so younger? I am getting old. Players careers seem to fly by compared to when I was in my 20s or 30s.

    1. He debuted in 2010 and completed his tenth MLB season.

       1. Yeah, I realized that. I was just commenting on how fast time goes. Seems like less than 10 years in my aging brain.
