Someone has got to run into one. No way we string together hits

[David Dennison 17804]

Gonna get this one in under two hours.

[Rip76 4883]

Solid, solid effort 

[Scraps 13490]

Go get on the plane already

[David Dennison 17804]

4-2 road trip.

Let's go home.

[Pimphand 5525]

I really hate the padres 

[HOOKEM4 4949]

Hello darkness my old friend.  Dammit.

[UTPhil2006 3773]

Back to 3rd inning mop up duty for Ort 

[UTexasFight 9304]

Ridiculous 

[tx 3 putt 75570]

is it too late for an abORTion ???

[runthebone 7894]

I'm not as excited about having an Ort any more.

At least we squeezed out the win yesterday.

[UTexasFight 9304]

And now we’re going to burn Abreu?!

Phew. King

[D3zii 3621]

At this point he’s point shaving 

[perfectchaos007 6542]

Ort may need an assignment after that outing

Get three on and see what they do when Yordan comes up….

 

they’ll pull cease even though he absolutely owns Yordan 

[runthebone 7894]

Ort had the opposite of an immaculate inning...9 pitches, 3 HRs

 

Shithead

[David Dennison 17804]

Solid AB, Jake.

[Scraps 13490]

Lol jake

[UTexasFight 9304]

You had to give up 3, Ort? THREE!?

[David Dennison 17804]

[Scraps 13490]

Oh please king dong Yordan

[HOOKEM4 4949]

Some dueling point shaving going on. What the shit.

[Rockethorn1978 6059]

Gooooo Yankees!

This team gives me zero hope we can string together a great postseason. Hope they’re getting all the shit out of their system before the real baseball starts up.

[UTexasFight 9304]

Correa drives in 2 in the 10th.

twins need 3 outs in the bottom to keep up from dropping a game to Cleveland 

[tx 3 putt 75570]

go yankees and let’s sweep the angels

Minnesota gives up 3 only recording one out.

take the 3 seed, hope they hold on to the 6 and use the back of the rotation to win 2 games in the WC round 

[UTexasFight 9304]

Turner solo blast with 1 out in bottom of 8 tied it up 1-2 in seattle

[Pimphand 5525]

BWAHAHAHAHAAH picked off at 3rd with nobody out and runners on the corners in the 10th then 2 straight Ks to end it. Jesus the Mariners suck so many balls

More excusable than the previous night's idiotic attempt to steal home, but still amazingly stupid. I guess Servais wasn't their only problem. Yet somehow they're still pretty comfortably holding off Arlington for second place. Glad we're in a division of dunces. 

[UTPhil2006 3773]

Magic number 6. I’m guessing it will be 2 or lower by Monday but would be nice to finish them off ourselves 

[Wulaw Horn 18919]

OK- so if we don't catch Cleveland and have to play in the WC series- this just in- the fighting AJ Hinches are now only 0.5 games back of the Wild Card. I doubt anyone has the slightest concern about playing them.

Also- holy shit looked up Correa's stats yesterday after the Twins lost 5-4 and Correa was 4-5 with all 4 RBI- they are awesome. He's playing good defense and he's got a 920 OPS.  Stud.  Then I looked at games played and it was like 78 and I laughed. Stud, that's made of glass. I wish him well. I really really liked him on the Astros. I hope he finishes out his career really well in Minnesota and ends up getting indcuted into the Hall of Fame (he has 44.5 WAR and he's going to be 29 for another 2 days so he is absolutely on that kind of pace) and has a great career and life. All that said, damn dude, mix in a 150 (or even 140) game season every now and again.  

Dudes games played:

99, 153, 109, 110, 75, 58, 148, 136, 135, 78 and counting

[Scraps 13490]

and hasn't missed a playoff game.  That is all that mattered.  

[UTPhil2006 3773]

After yesterday we ain’t catching the Indians

Agreed…but… can the indians lose 2 out of 1 vs Minn, 3 vs STL, 2 vs Cincy?

if so, we have a shot.

angels we can easily sweep, even in a 4 game series.

Mariners we can easily sweep, they are inventing new ways to lose

Indians: a sweep won’t be easy. But if we can pull it off, they only need to lose 2 out of the next 6.

so there it is! 10 game winning streak to end the season and Indians lose 2 of their next 6 before we sweep them.
