The WGOM

For reasons beyond me, the game between the Seattle Mariners and Minnesota Twins is blacked out in Buffalo, NY today.

Glad to see that I have mlb.tv

Light Rail throwing a lot of pitches in the 1st.

Jesus!

Man muscles!

20 years ago that ball hits the plexiglass

Morneau channeling his all-star winning run!

The Mountie looked like he was running in the pool!

I am really starting to fall for this team..

Coaching visit to decide how to pitch to Everett....

Nice footwork by Everett on that DP. Harris does not make that play.

Alright gents, carry this one on for us this afternoon.

For all the hype, Light Rail is just not that efficient.

Inconceivable. How did Beltre know the bunt was coming?

Wow, Span with a great steal off a lefty. No chance to get him

Delmon got robbed on that call at 2B. Robbed, I say.

Hi everybody!

Nice call, Blue...

5-0 Twins???? after two, with Baker on the mound. Is this...the Twilight Zone?

Nice stop in the hole by Punto there.

lessee, two in the first, three in the second. Does that mean four in the third?

btw, I totally screwed up yesterday. The A's on thursday announced a $1/ticket special for certain seats on Aug. 29 (vs. Twins) in honor of Brad Ziegler's record for "run-less" innings to start a ML career, with tickets going on sale yesterday morning. Damn.

Carlos smells his bat. It doesn't smell like hits.

I'm getting the bitch sox game here, so I'm forced to watch the game via game cast. Looks like the Twins are doing fine without me.

Who is the color guy with Stockton? He's got a big, ol' crush on our ballclub. Can't blame him, really.

I've noticed that innings that involve Mauer or Morneau at the plate seem to result in more runs. You guys think there's anything to that?

(really, I am listening to the game, just happen to be scouring http://www.pricewatch.com for a wireless print server as well)

Twin-killings rule! (When it's us turning them.)

Scott Baker the double play maker. That will help keep the pitch count down.

Ah, the DP, a pitcher's best friend.

Boggs!

Hello everyone.

Harry smokes one.

Step right up, guys -- everyone gets a hit!

Oakland with a threat - 1st and 3rd 1 out in the 4th inn.

Loaded up 1 out in Oakland.

I love DazzL's use of the word elected- 'joe elected to back hand that pitch and it got away from him'

Thomas hits into DP.

Ok, need to get out of this thing without giving up a big number.

Damn, Danks is getting so lucky in Oakland. Wiggled out of two bases loaded jams in back to back innings.

Sam Adams Summer Ale here, replacing lost fluids after some yard work. Tacos at the county fair tonight for dinner, after crockpot pulled pork tacos last night (mmmm).

Jesse coming in. Hopefully, they won't try to sweep the leg.

11 Base runners in 5 1/3 innings for Baker. Not a good outing. A base runner in every inning against a poor offensive team.

Boy, I hate to see our starters coming out before the 6^th...

cripes.

fuck fuck fuck.

God, I miss those days when we had a bullpen

holy hell...the fucking Mariners

Ah, frack.

Jermey Breslow on to pitch for the twins.

Good lord. What have you guys done?

Could Dyoung have gotten to that ball?

There's no fucking excuse for this bullshit. The Twins have gotten lazy in this game. We need Morneau to step it up.

God hopefully we can hold them under 10.........

well, that was 40% less disappointing than that other inning.

Can you believe Rowland-Smith is in line for the win? Incredible.

The boys are just thinking about Joe Nathan's save opportunities. Relax.

I think we could use one of these.

I hate to bring it up now, but that bad out call on Young at 2B did cost us a run in this game. Didn't look like it would matter at the time, but it sure does now.

Theres a good solid come from behind inning......

Twins haven't lost a home game after having a lead of at least 3 runs since June 30 when they blew a 4-1 lead to (surprise) Detroit.

Good inning by Breslow. May be what the Twins need to get their heads back in this game

I'm predicting a run here. just one. no more. one. only.

Ill make it 2.

there's my run, just 3 more TB.

Seattle wary for a Morneau bunt here.

c'mon Delmon!

EDIT: d'oh.

Does that count as an UNO?

Lets at least get another baserunner so we get the middle of lineup for bot of 9th.

This and the 2 debacles in Seattle last week are going to really hurt if the pennant comes down to 1 or 2 games. i know I know....this one isn't over yet......

Hell, Monroe coulda done that.

Remember the last time we were ahead and Chicago was behind and it was all good? And then we lost and Chicago won? Well, we're behind and they're ahead. Fate's going to turn today

"Books" Breslow looking good.

Good work by the bulldog out of the pen today.

Green couldn't find home plate with a Geiger counter.

I leave to go to Wal-Mart at 5-0, come back and it's 6-5. Gah. Now I know why nothing pissed me off while I was there. I have to take the blame for this one, sorry guys.

ball 6.....

Going out on a limb here.

DUDACIOUS!
