We need to score 2.
Crede leads off in the bottom of the inning.

six would be better
It wasn’t enough the first time, but should be enough now.

I hope you’re on your game today!

thoughts on how leyland played that
I did like the fact that he walked M&M. I think that was wise.
I did not like the fact that he left Zumaya in there to face Cudayer OR the fact that he left Zumaya in with a bases loaded, no margin for error, situation (is it twice he’s walked in the winning run this season?). I think we dodged a bullet on that one but as they say, I guess it’s better to be lucky then good.
Rodney in the bullpen now

that looked like eye level on gameday

now that I think about it
I had this weird ass dream where Leyland was pitching against the Twins …
How many innings would this have to go to make my dream come true?
???
That was odd.

Good for Biggy
we’ll take ’em any way we can get ’em

bwah ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
who woulda though BigMig coulda beat out a throw? Crappy as it may have been
Didn't think he'd make it.
He seemed distracted by Mauer’s sideburns for a moment.

Raburn walkoff power?

As a Northwesterner I'd be remiss if I didn't say it's just the nature of being from the Northwest.
The team is just the little paper umbrella in the cocktail of hate.
the cameraman has gotta be exhausted, too
Official BYB Juju Consultant...now accepting rally creature applications!
I've noticed that too
They’ve changed angles, messed up on zooms, etc.

Holy crap
I had a couple of call back in the 9th….. Just turned this back on, can’t believe its still 7-7 in 12… geez

Defibs are for wusses
I prefer the revitalizing tears of my true love, right as the music starts to pick up.
That takes too long and it’s an emergency.
Plus it’s late, I’m tired, and not in the mood to mess around.

not my fault
I’d have more energy and be less testy if the stupid Tigers had held on to their 6-0 lead at some point.

The Twins
could always forfeit and go away, right?

you know, I really wanna go home now
I’ve been done with any useful workiness for like 40 minutes, but I feel the moment I leave this office, the Twins will win…

yea I'm with you

Good morning, everyone!
And Happy Fourth of July!
Now we just need some fireworks.

Welcome to Detroit>>Where the weak are killed and eaten.
good number of fans still there
i can respect that
The frustrating thing is that it's clear they're running out of arms in the 'pen
Yet we make it easier on them by swinging at EVERYTHING. They can pitch well into the 20th when we give them these 10-pitch innings.
anyone else notice we just got shut out
well, if the game had started in the 5th inning, we would have been
Official BYB Juju Consultant...now accepting rally creature applications!
I'd put the odds at winning at about 10% right now
Even if Rodney gets these guys 1-2-3, he or Dolsi will have to face the M & M Boys in the 14th if we are to win.
Very frustrating night.

The last time we were desperate, Leyland said his first choice would be Santiago.

I love Ramon.
I was sad when he was traded to the M’s but happy Bavasi gave up on him. I hate Bavasi though.
WE GOT SPAN OUT!!!!!!!!!

dear fernando
Harris is a light hitting shortstop. Joe Mauer isn’t. Choose wisely…

hey, he listened! SWEET!
Dear G-$,
HIT A HOME RUN!

We've gotta get something here.
Don’t see any way Dolsi makes it through the meat of the order unscathed.
Off topic
I can’t believe I have 3 Orioles starting for my fantasy team and I’m in first place…. Not a prediction I would have made before the season
I bet Rod and Mario
are sick of sitting in that booth by now.

Voices still in the same shape as when they started, though.

you saved yourself from an angry male chorus with that strikethrough

Now the question is...
do you throw Rodney back out there for the save?

I wish I could even begin to describe the pain of getting hit there
Words just don’t really do it justice
Coulda left Rodney in
If Zumaya can throw 53…

I'd take my chances with Rodney.
Too late

On MLB Gameday they have "Loves to Face" and "Hates to Face"
For Mauer, I expected the Hates to Face to say “Nothing”
I've been scared for a couple hours now.

We should start a club.
We can have laminated membership cards, a secret handshake and fear induced nausea.
We really need this win.

A triple play would be nice

This game is never going to end.
Except for Crede. Did you hear the tone of voice for Rod and Mario?

Laird's knees are probably screaming right now. Man's caught 14 innings and probably more.
He’s going to just bury himself in ice, I imagine.
