[Pierre.Suave]

1. Tied going into the 9th!!!!!!1

want to bet on extra innings?

[Oeditpus Rex]

2. Dayum!

Vinny said just a little bit ago that they were down 6-3. :crazy:



GO, TWINKIES! :bounce:

[Pierre.Suave]

3. twins had a good 8th

we are going into the bottom of the 9th now.

[Pierre.Suave]

4. Say hello to the 10th Inning!!

battle for first place in the AL.

[KitchenWitch]

5. OMG Twitchy is out there for a second inning!

He is extra twitchy tonight!

:woohoo:

[Pierre.Suave]

6. hey You@!!!!!

Is this a good game or what?

[KitchenWitch]

7. No kidding.

I had to leave (soccer practice for K) and the Twins were down 6-3. I came home to a pleasant surprise.

:woohoo:

[Pierre.Suave]

9. they should cancel soccer practice for this...

Seriously.

[KitchenWitch]

11. No doubt.

But this is kind of the Angels territory, so I am doubtful that they would cancel anything for a Twins game.

[Pierre.Suave]

14. you need to set them straight

!!!

[grannylib]

8. Quite a change from the fourth...not so much fun

[KitchenWitch]

12. I was literally throwing stuff at the TV during the fourth!

:banghead:

[Pierre.Suave]

10. bottom of the 10th

here we come!

[KitchenWitch]

13. Time to "put one on the boooooooaaaaaaarrrrdddd!"

[Pierre.Suave]

15. yes

I see a HUGE homerun in our future.

[KitchenWitch]

16. I hope I didn't jinx it by channeling Hawk Harrelson

[Pierre.Suave]

17. I have no idea who that is

but Punto is on 3rd base!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Oeditpus Rex]

18. Okay, I don't understand that

The wild pitch puts Punto on third, so they walk Span intentionally?

:wtf:



Must be some AL thing. :P



Edit: W00T! :bounce:

[KitchenWitch]

22. LOL

:woohoo:

[KitchenWitch]

19. First AWOOOHHHHOOOO

[Oeditpus Rex]

21. Su Casilla es mi Casilla

:D

[Pierre.Suave]

23. rofl

:P

[KitchenWitch]

24. I LOVES me some Alexi Casilla!

:woohoo:

[Pierre.Suave]

25. yeah me too

I like him even more after meeting him back a few months. A really nice kid.

[Oeditpus Rex]

26. And don't you just loves you some September baseball?

This is why Dog invented April. :D

[KitchenWitch]

29. If I could have September and October baseball year round...

I would be one happy woman.

[Oeditpus Rex]

32. You've heard me say this before

but every March, this is all I hope for — a good pennant race. Winning the pennant is actually slightly secondary to that late-September excitement.

O' course, it's even better if you get to play in October. :)

[KitchenWitch]

34. This certainly does make it all worthwhile

Our Magic Number is 4!

:bounce:

[Oeditpus Rex]

37. Oh, shit — I just thought

What if you end up tied and there's a one-game playoff Monday? :D

[KitchenWitch]

42. We will just have to win in Chicago then!

:D

But Chicago is missing a game with Detroit (a rainout about 2 weeks ago) so I do not know how that works out.

[Oeditpus Rex]

46. Oh, yeah

I forgot the lead was half a game.

Looks like they may end up playing it Monday — by which time they'll be pretty tired. :)

[KitchenWitch]

51. And Detroit would love to be a spoilier!

:D

[Oeditpus Rex]

57. I bet the Giants are pissed off right now

They've been out of it since about May 3, but that wouldn't matter if they had the chance to knock us out of it this weekend, especially at their place.









Ha-ha! :evilgrin:

[KitchenWitch]

58. Poor widdle Giants.

[Oeditpus Rex]

59. Eh, I don't hate 'em anymore

For a long time, they were the only baseball I could listen to, after the Dodgers dumped their 50,000-watt station for a 5,000-watt station — before Gameday Audio and XM, o' course. So I got pretty familiar with 'em, and the old hate just faded away.



I still hate Dave Kingman and Dick Dietz, though. x(

[Pierre.Suave]

20. HELL YEAHS!

TWINS WIN IN THE 10TH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:beer: heres to first place in the AL!!!!!!!!!!!

[KitchenWitch]

27. Oh, and back to Hawk Harrelson

He is one of the TV guys for the White Sox, he is really obnoxious and "put it on the boooooaaarrrrrdddd" is his homerun call.

Both DJ (the other White Sox TV announcer) and Hawk are known to whine the whole game through if the game is not going the White Sox's way. To the point of denigrating the other team playing. Kind of like Ozzie Guillen.

[Oeditpus Rex]

28. He had a bit of a life before that

Young'uns. :P

[KitchenWitch]

30. Yeah.

True.

But he is a shitty commentator.

[Oeditpus Rex]

33. Most ex-players are

Rick Monday's one exception I can think of off the top o' my head. He and Charlie Steiner work really well together. They're even funny when the game's loose; Monday has a really good sense o' snarky humor.

Oh — Ray Fosse's pretty good, too.

[CatholicEdHead]

35. Not former Twins Bert Blyleven (FSN North) or Dan Gladden (KSTP-AM Radio)

They are very good. They shine when comparing Fox, TBS, or any Brewer announcers.

[Pierre.Suave]

36. yes they do

they are really top notch!

[Oeditpus Rex]

38. I've never heard them

The Boozers, though — why doesn't Uecker let a little bit of his "Major League" persona come out to play? He puts me to sleep.

[Pierre.Suave]

39. "Just a bit outside..."

Greatest line in the entire movie...

:rofl:

[Oeditpus Rex]

49. I kinda liked 'How's your wife and my kid?'

And "You sayin' Jesus Christ can't hit a curve ball?" :D



The end, though — the way they won the game. Utter. fucking. BULLshit. :thumbsdown:

[Pierre.Suave]

50. that line was pretty good too

but the line Bob Eucker delivered when Charlie Sheens character threw the ball about 5 feet to the left of homeplate was pretty damn funny.

For the life of me I cant remember the ending right now.

[Oeditpus Rex]

56. Two out, Willie Mays Hayes on second

Jake Taylor, the old catcher with bad knees, gets it in his head he can bunt Hayes in if he suckers the defense with the old Babe Ruth "pointing" bit. So he signals the bench, and Lou Brown goes, "That's a helluvan idea, Ricky" and gives the bunt sign to the coaches.

Taylor points to the seats, Duke Temple (played by former Dodgers catcher Steve Yeager) knocks him down, Taylor gets up and points again, then drops the bunt. He beats it by half a step (yeah, the old catcher with bad knees legs out a bunt), and while Haywood, the Yankees' first baseman (played by Cy Young winner Pete Vukovich), is arguing the call with the ball still in play and a runner moving, Hayes turns third and scores.



Yeah. That could happen.

[CatholicEdHead]

40. That is what surprised me when I have been in WTMJ range

Also the FSN Wisconsin announcers put me to sleep. It is day and night difference between Twins and Brewers coverage.

[FKA MNChimpH8R]

48. Dick Bremer and Bert Blyleven are as good as it gets

unless Vin Scully or Jon Miller is your regular hometown TV guy.

[Oeditpus Rex]

53. I really like Miller

He's much better on Giants games than on ESPN because he's unconstrained. He's made me laugh out loud several times, and I love his impersonations of Scully and the Phillies' dude. The Giants' entire crew — Miller, Mike Krukow, Duane Kuiper (I forgot about them — two ex-players who are just excellent) and Dave Flemming — are the best in baseball, for my money.

Weird, though — I've been listening to Vinny for more than 40 years, and it's getting old. Guess it's the sound of one voice talking constantly, but it's somewhat of a relief in the fourth when Steiner and Monday take over on radio. Vinny's the best there ever was, but maybe I've had enough of him.

Also, he's a Republican.

[KitchenWitch]

52. Even Jack Morris is pretty good when he stands in for Dazzle

[Pierre.Suave]

31. Ah, I see now...

thanks.

[Pierre.Suave]

41. perfect youtube for this thread...

baseball tribute!

[CatholicEdHead]

43. A good companion

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sShMA85pv8M&feature=related

[Pierre.Suave]

45. HAHAHA

I actually have that one saved in my youtube favorites!

[FKA MNChimpH8R]

44. Now that was a ballgame

What a way to finish a series. The Twins did it every way, blowout in the first game, a tight tense second game and a classic, against-all-odds comeback to complete the sweep. That was wonderful baseball!

:woohoo: :applause: :toast:

[Pierre.Suave]

47. Yes it was Indeed

I wonder how far they will go this season!!!!

[KitchenWitch]

54. I am reading the White Sox Interactive board

They are in full meltdown mode there.

I am evil.

[CatholicEdHead]

55. All the way of course
