Kubel: K'd
Mahay owned Jason right there. That’s disappointing, although not exactly unexected.
Bummer. At least we tied it up.
Soria
If they put soria in for the bottom of the ninth, lets just hope he’s a bit rusty and M&M can win it for us.
I doubt we'll see Soria...
unless the Royals grab the lead.
Or we get to the 14th inning…
"I'm gonna make you cry...I'm gonna make you cry and dip my cookie in your tears!!!"
Its been a great game
now lets go out and win it in the 9th!

Looks like...
we won’t get 2 innings out of Joe. Unless he can lock it down pretty fast here…
"I'm gonna make you cry...I'm gonna make you cry and dip my cookie in your tears!!!"
Nathan's fastball??
Only 91?? I thought he had 95 or 96…….

The gun has been a bit slow the last few days..
They had Slowey throwing 87-89 when batters were late on his fastball last night.

Willie Bloomquist...
has never been this lucky in his life. His ass has bailed out on every offspeed pitch this series, yet he has found a hole. Good luck keeping that up Willie!!!

This is a common thing in MLB right now..
Holding a runner is fast becoming a lost art in Major League Baseball
"I'm gonna make you cry...I'm gonna make you cry and dip my cookie in your tears!!!"
Good bases running by Bloomquist.
Crede looked him back, then threw on to first for the out. Buscher made a good decision by not trying to nail him. Crede maybe could have held him for another second, but I’m pretty sure he was going no matter what.
I love how managers are slaves..
to the Left-Righty thing. Statistically speaking, you only improve your chances by 2% by adhering to “The Book.”
"I'm gonna make you cry...I'm gonna make you cry and dip my cookie in your tears!!!"
It worked this time...
but I can’t wait for the next doofus to leave a mediocre LHP to face our good LH hitters instead of a good RHP.
"I'm gonna make you cry...I'm gonna make you cry and dip my cookie in your tears!!!"
We finally got the "great"
Alberto Callaspo out. The worm has turned!!!
"I'm gonna make you cry...I'm gonna make you cry and dip my cookie in your tears!!!"
Pena is terrible
3 straight in the dirt will do it. NO more pitches over the plate Einstein…
"I'm gonna make you cry...I'm gonna make you cry and dip my cookie in your tears!!!"
He's also terrible
because Guerrier keeps missing his spots and hanging good pitches right now the middle of the plate. And all he can do is foul them off.
Matt Guerier...
just hung about 5 pitches to a terrible hitter. We got away with it this time, but holy Joesus, was that bad…
"I'm gonna make you cry...I'm gonna make you cry and dip my cookie in your tears!!!"
Two feet from winning the game...
Nice shot Buschy!!!
"I'm gonna make you cry...I'm gonna make you cry and dip my cookie in your tears!!!"
BUSCHER!!!!!
ALMOST hits it out of the park, bounced it two feet from the top of the baggie!!!
Leadoff double baby!! Let’s win!
Dear Carlos,
When bunting it is customary to put the ball on the ground, not in the air. Also it needs to be fair.
Thought you should know,
Jesse
Why is Mahay still in the game?
"I'm gonna make you cry...I'm gonna make you cry and dip my cookie in your tears!!!"
I think it's time for Go-Go...
to go through what Torii went through in 2000. Great D, but couldn’t hit. We sent him down…he spent a few months down there…came back and started hitting and never looked back.
"I'm gonna make you cry...I'm gonna make you cry and dip my cookie in your tears!!!"
Horrible AB by Punto...
he was trying to walk you!!!
"I'm gonna make you cry...I'm gonna make you cry and dip my cookie in your tears!!!"
DP
Need a DP BAD!!!

Three walks...
Bye Craig…enjoy Dinosaur Barbecue in Rochester…

A master of understatement
Dick called it “an unsightly inning for the Twins.”
The only stat that counts is W
had to step out for awhile and was hoping it was in extra innings,
but I didn’t think Dickey would have given the game away.
Dickey deserves this:

Breslow
Really I can’t say much when a guy comes in with the bases loaded on him.
Peyton's good but have you ever heard of Jeff George?
Oh. Sorry Dickey!
Breslow, apparently that pick was for you – next time I’ll review the box score before I call you out.

Lost our chance when Gomez failed to get down the bunt, you could tell we were in trouble at that point. There is a reason games seldom go past 11 innings. MLB bullpens aren’t good enough to shut a offense down for long, and our bottom guys (Breslow and Dickey) are not really fit for a major league roster.
