long rain delay where Cole cannot come back would be great to see. Want to see how gardy/andy handle it.

[sbknudson]

Boy, I wish we could end the game now and call this a win!

[glunn]

Rain, blessed rain.

Maybe the Twins won't lose today after all.

[Top Gun]

How can you lose when you are ahead?

If the rain stops, you will see the answer my friend.

... and then some.

[Willihammer]

Revere pads his lead in the cumulative hussle index (inf hits + sb's).

edit: also successfully-evaded rundowns.

His score now stands at 60

On the other hand, the Rangers are making a lot of errors. So anything can happen.

[Willihammer]

I wish Revere would start sliding feet first like Mauer. He is going to break something

[greengoblinrulz]

How is it that the pitcher with the 'worst stuff' (not my evaluation, but seemingly team/media's view).....can be the only one who can seemingly pitch to this Rangers lineup???

Are you deducting points for base-running mistakes? I've seen him make several this year.

[greengoblinrulz]

If we're doin baserunning mistakes.....I wanna see Denard's score

[Willihammer]

61...............

[Willihammer]

Did anyone hear how far Morneau's home run went yesterday? I know Duenslinger gave up a 463 footer to Moreland which was 3rd longest ever at Arlington. Morneau's couldn't have been far behind that

[JB_Iowa]

Rangers fielders must be allergic to rain ... good thing they don't see it very often.

Announcer just said (for real): "Jeff Gray has done a nice job for the Twins."
