I didn't watch a ton of the Tigers series, but with this lineup, I will definitely be watching!! Good to see some of the other guys get to play!

I'm at this game and Wednesday's with my boss (an avid Jays fan), for the love of god the Twins need to win this series. Looking forward to seeing Scott D pitch an alternate home game.

[rickyriolo]

twins need to get swept to lock up draft position#4 and with this line-up looks like they are going for it

[Rick Blaine]

No Justin? I was hoping they'd give him chance to hit his 20th home run. Maybe Laffey is a tough match up for him.

[one_eyed_jack]

No Big Canadian in Canada? What gives

[GCTF]

Calling shenanigans, no way a real major league team would intentionally start a lineup like this.

Wow, this reminds me of my one year in the little league minors - I always played the last three innings of the game (in right field) because everybody was guaranteed a chance to play.

I know, but it just doesn't quite roll off the tongue the same.

This lineup doesn't deserve more than a random flip of the remote. Baltimore-TB is on!

C'mon, who knows if we'll have the opportunity to watch Chris Hermann and the Drewster bat back to back ever again.

[IdahoPilgrim]

Hey, did somebody put Capps in there when I wasn't looking? A closer giving up a home run to tie the game with one out to go?

[GCTF]

Bases loaded, extra innings.

Buterrible bats for himself and promptly pops out.

[GCTF]

Twins lose, stunning.

[Brock Beauchamp]

It's in the team's best interest to lose. I'm not shedding any years over a blown save.

I'm actually more upset that Mauer had such a lousy game. The batting race is all but over.
