Game 158 Thread of Optimism

Yes, we're down 7-2.  Yes, this game could be the end of our season.  Yes, it's sad and heartbreaking. 

 

And the positives: you're watching Joe Mauer play baseball.  He'll be MVP, and win another Batting Title.  Ummm...Pavano, at one point, sent down 11 in a row.  Hey, guys, I'm trying here, ok?

Star-divide

Your lineups are:

Twins
Denard Span, CF
Orlando Cabrera, SS
Joe Mauer, C
Jason Kubel, RF
Michael Cuddyer, 1B
Delmon Young, LF
Jose Morales, DH
Matt Tolbert, 3B
Nick Punto, 2B

Tigers...um, I don't care enough to find it again. You know...the funny shaped head guy, the one that keeps screwing us over, and Miggy.  Damn them all.

 

OPTIMISM!!!

Game over.

Oh well, barring a total Tiger collapse, that’s it.
I don’t care! We came from 7.5 GB to 1 GB and almost took it all from Detroit, again! After so many people wrote them off in July/August, we we’re in in right to the last week! I’m proud of them!

GO TWINS!!!

that's a good point.

who ever thought the Twins would come back as much as they did? That is something to be sort of proud about…

did you conveniently forget about all of those .500 games ALL SEASON long? I won’t stand and ovate this group of semi-underachievers. But I will be happy with the way they kept trying and earning their HUMUNGOUS paychecks.

Yes!

you forgot Perkins injured too.

and he’ll only have $625,000 this year to ease his pain, and it might keep him at $675,000 next year.
