Twins vs. Tigers

[yankees228]

The fact that Gomez is in this game makes the decision to bunt even worse.

[suns]

Extras WOO!!

[Optimist]

Extra innings...perfect.:thumbsup:

[Dojji]

The irony of this game going to extra innings....

[Dojji]

The decision to take Kubel out of the game took the bat out of Mauer's hands.

[Cocos Disciples]

The irony of this game going to extra innings....

 

Explain.

[yankees228]

And there you go. I really think Gardenhire has hurt the Twins the past two innings. Now they can't win the game with their closer.

 

Optimist, what would be great is if Blackburn, Jackson, and Verlander find their way into this game.

[yankees228]

The decision to take Kubel out of the game took the bat out of Mauer's hands.

 

They walk Mauer anyway, whether Cabrera's grounder gets through or not.

[Dojji]

Explain.

 

9 innings of game 163 isn't enough to break the tie? There's not irony there?

[Dojji]

I prefer big offensive blowouts when it's the Sox, but this is the best possible kind of baseball to watch when you don't care about either team.

[Cocos Disciples]

9 innings of game 163 isn't enough to break the tie? There's not irony there?

 

Maybe my definition of irony is off, but I don't think so.

 

an outcome of events contrary to what was, or might have been, expected.

No, it would be ironic if this game were meaningless.

 

But that's just arguing for the sake of arguing.

[Dojji]

But that's just arguing for the sake of arguing.

 

There's something wrong with arguing for its own sake?

 

No! Why didn't anyone tell me this!!!

That's exactly what I'm hoping for. Need an epic extra inning game, with Blackburn and Verlander getting the decisions...

I also meant they walk him even if Kubel is still in the game.

[Dojji]

Tigers go ahead on a double by Inge.

 

That was the wrong place to put that fastball.

[msubulldogs21]

SAAAAAAFFFFFFFFEEEEEE

[yankees228]

Brandon Inge, playing injured, might have saved the Tigers' season.

[Dojji]

But then you at least have Kubel hitting and not a noodlebat like Gomez.

[Cocos Disciples]

3 more outs for the Twins' season...

[Dojji]

It's gonna come down to what Cuddyer does leading off the inning. If he makes an out, it's pretty much over.

[Optimist]

Got to hope for some more Metrodome magic...

[yankees228]

But then you at least have Kubel hitting and not a noodlebat like Gomez.

 

I agree, but there is a significant difference between Mauer and Kubel. If I'm the Twins, I'm not going to give the other team a chance to take the bat out of the hands of the league MVP.

[Spudboy]

Come on Twins!

[suns]

Soo What will tigers rotation be?

[yankees228]

Soo What will tigers rotation be?

 

Jackson-Verlander-Porcello-Jackson-Verlander

 

Cuddyer has chased a couple pitches.

[yeszir]

HOLY s***! Terrible terrible play.

[Dojji]

And... a leadoff triple/3 base error on a total boner by Raburn.

[Spudboy]

Pinch runner?

[suns]

Terrible slide by the guy who got the triple and also I would have got a inside the parker.
