The only thing we have going for us is, well, this is Game 2. No, we have better bullpen at this stage. BUT, they have steroids. Steroids usually beats a bullpen.
Oh my goodness.
Twins got absolutely jobbed there. They should have the go-ahead run, if not for that BS call on Mauer’s double turned into a single.

Can I just blame everyone? I mean honestly.
I don’t care how bad the umps are.
If you can’t get a single run in a bases loaded no out situation….
somehow, someway
hmmm.
I wonder if it was that blown call, where the ball was five feet fair and they called it foul. The inside the park ground rule double that was a fould ball.
It’s only game 2.

I don't think I can be more disappointed than I am right now, so why not. :\
Having a lead, blowing a lead, having a GREAT scoring opportunity, blowing said scoring opportunity. I hate this team as much as I love it.

“On October 9, 2009 Phil Cuzzi made a blatant mistake on a fair/foul call in the 11th inning on the ALDS (Minnesota Twins @ New York Yankees). Cuzzi was working as the left field umpire at the time and Joe Mauer’s lead off hit was ruled a foul ball. On the replay not only was it shown that the ball landed at least a foot fair, but the left fielder, Melky Cabrera, had touched the ball in fair territory prior to the ball landing fair. It can be argued that the blown call cost the Twins the ballgame as Mauer did not score and may have scored from one of the 2 hits that followed his at bat.” wikipedia

I don't want to tell anyone how to cope with the loss
But I get the feeling that the ump blaming thing is getting a bit intense. It’s a shit call, but there’s a lot of other things that cost us the game.
like leaving 17 guys on base?
>:(
ugh.

Exactly, on both counts
Blaming a blown call that only might have made a difference (and probably not) is silly.
Maybe Mauer gets thrown out trying to score on Kubel’s hit, for instance.
Oh it would have made a difference.
nathan on second would undoubtedly have scored.

But then do the twins get 2 singles after Mauer's double?
Do the Yankees score another run after Teixeira’s home run? You need a time machine to play this “what if” game.
no you don't.
That’s disingenuous. You simply insert a double instead of a single and let everything else play out as it did.

Lesson of the night...
Twins fans get very testy after a miserably rough game. :)

I know you were also pointing a virtual finger at me, and I was also agreeing with you on that.

I'm not sure what we're talking about now
I was just saying “agree to disagree” basically about the miscall. No hard feelings at all. Tough loss, shake it off tomorrow.
Very true
This thread has taken a very sour note (including myself) I’m done for the night.

he made a mistake
this is dumb. the ump blew a call. happens a lot. that hardly means he should be stalked or whatever. he blew a call. that’s all you can say about it. the other night, inge got hit by a pitch. same deal. the ump blew the call. this is how it goes.
bottom line is that with no one out and three guys on, we should have scored at least one run. we should have scored two – on two sac flies — but one would have been okay. none? unacceptable. intolerable. I don’t care if Delmon hit the ball hard. he didn’t drive it out of the infield. He needed to. And, frankly, if Joe Nathan had done his job, we wouldnt have had this conversation.
But the ump isn’t to blame here. He blew a call, for sure, but umps blow calls. They don’t hit balls. they don’t catch them.
Shape up.
+10

I wish people would stop using the Inge "HBP" thing as an example.
but yes, you make a good point. Not entirely the ump’s fault at all. The Twins are majorly to blame here-leaving that many runners on base is unacceptable in playoff baseball.

Even us Yankee fans agree
it was a God-awful call. Dunno if you would have won had it been called correctly, but it sure as Hell didn’t help you guys out.
Still, and I’m no trying to be a troll here, if you have the bases loaded and no out facing a rookie pitcher you have to score. The ump made a terrible call but that isn’t what cost you in the end, it was the lack of hitting with RISP.
Best of luck in the Metrodome, at least for Game 3. I honestly mean that. I’m a diehard Yankee fan, but I’m also fond of the Twins.
No way man r u being a troll
When we all also agree with wat u said thats not being a troll. Thanks for the support
Ima diehard Twins fan but I cant honestly say im fond of the yankees. I kinda hate them. Sorry man

The Twins mistakes are worse than Cuzzi's
They did not even argue when the guy blew the call on two different levels.
Why not argue the call?
That’s all I’m saying. Sure, umps are human, but he was within 30 feet, the ball hit Melky’s glove AND landed fair.
And the Twins say nothing?
If you go to New York and someone takes your wallet and then pushes you to the ground, what are you going to do?
Say: We’ll see you back in Minnesota and you better bring your “A” game?
I don’t expect umps to get everything right, but when they make a call that bad, I do expect my manager, or the 3rd base coach who had the best view to run out there and let him know he got it wrong—FROM TWO DIFFERENT WAYS!
They said it wasn’t a call that could be viewed by replay, they just started using replays this year on homeruns, hopefully this will help propel the use of replays. Maybe do something like the NFL, have a option to review a call.
Oh God No!
Thats strictly for the NFL. I dont wanna c Gardys old-but runnin out there waving a red flag.
leave that in the NFL

see above, Old Twins Cap, I agree. here is the cut and paste.
There is a time for arguing. And the time to argue is when you are correct. Argue politely but forcefully. It can sway the refs to make sure they understand that they hosed you and be prepared for a makeup call.
Argue like an ass, or when you are wrong and all you are doing is screwing yourself
But if Gardy couldn’t see it as hapshaugnhenssy said, I dunno, what can he do?

Guys Im in a Jam
Should I buy tickets to the game on Sunday?

whoo hoo,

ahahaha
montana! that is NOT helpful! geez…they are clearly just waiting to get home to display their magic tricks. And let’s not forget Tuesday’s game: O-Cab homers, Kubel homers, Nathan pitches a 1-2-3…

You can decide to be pessimistic but I’ve seen enough of this twins team this year to know that they won’t give up until it’s over.

Not giving up
Just taking a deep breath. Trying not to get too worked up about it. I’m sure we’ll all be cheering just as hard on Sunday.
who's giving up?
are you kidding? If nothing else, this team has taught me to never say never. Just when you think they’re out of it, they make some crazy ass run and win the division. :)
