This game is actually being broadcast live in England.
Thank you, 5-US. Even if there’s a Brit trying to be a commentator in between innings.
They paid him
I think he got like $1 million to go in with a Yankee cap. The Pads paid Winfield $500,000 to not wear a Yankee cap, but he brought one along to show to the fans despite his hatred of the Boss.

He didn't even bat an eye
Just stood there, didn’t tip his cap. Nothing.

Nobody is ever allowed
to bitch to me about bad announcing, ever again. I have a Brit, and the first American they could find that they pulled off the street. This is NOT going to be good.
OH MY GOD
The color man was just talking about how “a couple of years ago, Joe Mauer won the batting title on the last day of the year. He took it away from Derek Jeter.”
SON. OF. A. BITCH.
Not EVERYTHING revolves around the YANKEES. Mauer had the lead all damn year, dipshit. He cooled off in the waning weeks and Jeter nearly caught him…but he didn’t.
If anyone was going
to have to “take” something away, Jeter (or Cano, for that matter) would have had to take it from Mauer. They couldn’t.
This is all SO WRONG!!
“And I suppose we shouldn’t be surprised, becaus all the players are mates and get on well away from the pitch.”
Dammit.
Meh. I'm going to bed.
That way, tomorrow I can watch the game itself, then fast-forward between innings so I don’t have to deal with the Brit and quasi-American.
Goodnight!

7th inning
quote from wife: “why are they using their best closer in the seventh inning?” I have trained her well.
Dang, Morneau almost won the game for the AL!

At this rate,
we may go around the horn again. and again. Heck, Cliff Lee might have a chance to win it for the AL.

Uggla
Yeah, bad day for him. He also booted another ball that he managed to still make an out. And his hitting was almost as bad: an 0-4 night with a GIDP in extras with the go-ahead run on third and 3 strikeouts, including one on Soria’s nasty breaking ball where he was completely fooled.
And Jusitn scores the winning run.
It’s over…finally.

A good
A good two days for the Twins. Justin wins the derby, then scores twice, including the winning run on Tuesday. Mauer gets on base twice in two trips to the plate and Nathan sits bitches down in his inning of work.
Lookin’ good! Can’t say the same for the Marlins and their four errors…
