Morneau with a big RBI double
but the Royals have tied it. End of two innings, 1-1 tie.
Lirianos line through two:
2 IP, 3 H, 1 ER, 2 SO, 32 pitches
Reddog drives a hit
past Callaspo for the second hit for the Twins
and the Busch is up with his mighty RBI bat!
Buscher lines a hit
off the glove off Duckworth. That ball was hit HARD! He wasnt going to miss a changeup twice in a row….
Gomez lines a base hit
and Reddog scores! GOMEZ!!!! 44 RBI for the young man! and of course he could pick up his 32 SB now too!
it was a blown call by the umpire
the umpire just decided to call him out even though he wasnt tagged when he tried to get back to the base when he overslid it
Umpire giving a few inches
on the outside corner to lefties today, no question. All 3 Ks (Morneau, Kubel, Span) have been out there.

Liriano not sharp?
I’m “watching” on Yahoo GameChannel and it looks like they’ve hit the ball hard off of him.

Now Aviles with a triple
Definitely not vintage Liriano so far.

bad play by Span
he tried to make it flashy and ended up misplaying it. Tried to make an overthehead catch and fell down….instead of just playing it off the wall.
Shealy Ks
German flies out to Span
and Teahan says Goodnight after saying Morning and Afternoon!
4 KS for Liriano through 4 IP
DeJesus grounds out to Busch
nice play too….backhanded it, squared up and made a strong throw across…..
Another quick inning for Liriano
I’m liking this…I’d like it more if some runs are scored
Yes, now it starts...
For pity sakes, this is Brandon “Ducky” Duckworth we are facing. Lets get some runs.
Dazzle just said Mauer runs well
Which normally, I agree with… but this is the time of year where Joe will really start to feel those innings behind the plate. We were at the game, and when he grounded out last night, he wasn’t pushing it any harder than he had to. Had a little hitch in his giddy up.
Redmond and Buscher
Need a hit or two from those guys.

I can dig the left vs. right thing...
But Buscher was 1-1 with two walks.. he’s obviously seeing the ball well today.
Roy Smalley says
that Gomez should work on using the whole field. Good point—how many gappers to Right Center has he hit? It would be an automatic triple every time, but I recall only one or two.

Time for a big hit
from Mr. Excitement.

Send Punto?
Versus the strong armed Olivo with a lefty throwing? Actually, I think not.

Lexi was golden in these situations
Right after his recall. Lately, not so much.

yeah I know but Liriano wont get credit for his brilliant pitching performance
by means of a win……..
Three innings in a row... we have shot ourselves in the f...... foot. crap...
This John Bale pitching folks not Cy Young. crap…
four innings in a row... sometimes we look worse than a tball team.
come on Nathan we need one more 1-2-3 inning.
That didn't last long... DR must be our designated run man.
and now Crain…. don’t we have anyone else. where is the Kman?
This isn't a negative comment, it's just observational...
But if the Twins can’t win games like this, they really don’t deserve to be in the playoffs.
Reyes
He really has been pretty good against lefties. When he fails, though, it is out there in front of everybody.

Casilla
All right, let’s not make it 0-5…. please?
Thats the game folks...
Our offense was bad but our bullpen was worse. This is like a broken record but when you run the same pitchers out there game after game this crap is going to happen. We aren’t a playoff caliber team yet. It was good to see Nathan back in good form. Lets go stomp some birdies….
Guerrier, Crain
How many games is Gardy gonna let them blow. At some point don’t you just say what the hell and try somebody else. Cant hurt to give Korecky or Humber a shot in a situation like the 10th inning. I hope Neshek is healthy next season
Well even playoff teams can't sweep terrible teams all the time
At least we took 2 out of 3. Let’s win the next one and the one after that and keep hoping.
