The guardians are losing, and the twins are losing

All their base are belong to us

No, no no no not that. No no no not an error.

I never asked her for a spelling. Apparently there were too damn many with anything close to that name coming to America.

Phew. That was tense.

Sit down, Santander. Ha!

I don’t want Santander to beat us. The last I heard he was on a ventilator and in traction in the hospital. i’m only following this on game day. I’m away from home. Is he only wearing a hospital gown?

Looks like they’re going to have to actually not allow the Jays to score runs.

And then he steals the base

Baddoo singles to do whatever his part is in closing this thing out.

I try not asking for more than what the part of me that enjoys self torture and suspense is willing to endure. I want one or the other, not both just to be safe.

Why are our relievers so averse to the strike zone?

Can we shut down the Blue Jays for the next three innings or do we need to score 3 more runs? Hmmmm……

Tork rbi single

My wife’s family moved here from Sweden, and their name was Anderson and apparently at Ellis Island it was thought there were too damn many Anderson‘s coming to America so they renamed the entire family Just. So it’s been a long line of people since 1870 with that name.

So, did the Blue Jays pitcher Fluharty get renamed when his ancestors landed at Ellis Island because they were too damn many Flaherty‘s coming to America?

Six innings is enough for the kid, let’s score some runs and get him a W. I know a W doesn’t mean much for us for any particular pitcher, but apparently it’s a big deal to pitchers themselves or so I’ve heard. I don’t know if this means pitchers are a bit on the dense side or not…

A homer by Torres right now would be nice

I wonder if he likes his pad in Detroit more than his pad in Toledo…

And he walks to put runners at first and second.

Before the Boise Hawks were left out of the northwest league they were the short season class a team for the Rockies. And I was at a game once where all the front office people from Denver were there and it was pretty impressive. I gotta tell you. We sat right behind them because we decided to splurge that night for box seats. For better or worse these guys all carried themselves like they were masters of the universe.

I checked the weather for Toronto and it will be 60° but my Yahoo weather app displayed a photo of snow because it’s powered by not very intelligent artificial intelligence and it gets Canada mixed up with Siberia. Apparently, Yahoo weather thinks everywhere is long way from its own driveway.

What would be best is that all the Minnesota Twins mojo would momentarily transfer for a week or so to the Colorado Rockies and that the Twins would lose something like seven games in a row and the Rockies instead would win seven games in a row. The Twins are due for a biblical Book of Job sort of correction.

Don’t get me wrong. I’m glad we beat them, but I hate seeing another team and another fan base suffer this miserably. I’m glad they were able to squeak out a win of such monumental import.
