Game 48 Recap: Oakland Athletics 4, Minnesota Twins 5
sorry, you guys. totally forgot about the recap. i must have thought it was a dream or something with capps (barely) shutting the door (here's proof if you don't believe me). the twins rallied from behind, tying the game on a ball that the mountie knocked the crap out of, and donut gave them the lead with a ball that was about 50 feet from being a home run. twins baseball!
i’m sticking with the “When will teh suck end” tag as i’m unconvinced, but this is an important first step.
