Yes they lose the series, or yes they win it?

Yes.

[Brock Beauchamp]

Francisco Vasquez on the mound tonight.

[Brock Beauchamp]

Vasquez is looking pretty good so far. Good movement, keeping the ball down, throwing strikes.

Way to go, look what you've done now.

[Brock Beauchamp]

The bases loaded walk is the most unacceptable thing in baseball. Throw a friggin' meatball. Make the hitter beat you.

The bases loaded walk is the most unacceptable thing in baseball.

Bases loaded walk > Jeff Gray > Drew Butera

[Brock Beauchamp]

LOL. A single.

[snepp]

LOL @ Beckham nearly ****ing up a 6 foot toss to 2nd. That would have made my night.

[Brock Beauchamp]

The Twins are getting solid contact on Sale but it's getting them nowhere. Another night of bad luck for a bad team.

[USAFChief]

By opening day, the Twins really need figure out how it has become so ridiculously easy to steal bases against them, and take some steps to fix it.

[Ultima Ratio]

Good effort Drew baby!

[glunn]

I only caught the last 2 innings. Another game where the Twins never had a chance?

Dang. Not much to lament about. It is the last month of play in a uber losing season - sad as it is. I'll leave this thread post with a Bukowski poem...

there's a bluebird in my heart that
wants to get out
but I'm too tough for him,
I say, stay in there, I'm not going
to let anybody see
you.
there's a bluebird in my heart that
wants to get out
but I pour whiskey on him and inhale
cigarette smoke
and the whores and the bartenders
and the grocery clerks
never know that
he's
in there.

there's a bluebird in my heart that
wants to get out
but I'm too tough for him,
I say,
stay down, do you want to mess
me up?
you want to screw up the
works?
you want to blow my book sales in
Europe?
there's a bluebird in my heart that
wants to get out
but I'm too clever, I only let him out
at night sometimes
when everybody's asleep.
I say, I know that you're there,
so don't be
sad.
then I put him back,
but he's singing a little
in there, I haven't quite let him
die
and we sleep together like
that
with our
secret pact
and it's nice enough to
make a man
weep, but I don't
weep, do
you?
