OK, the Twins have had all the BaBIP luck they have coming.

Buxton scares me. Healthy, he's a very good player. Very good.

Riley oppo taco! another one that's just fair in that corner.

[Tigermojo]

Foul pole fun!

[Tigermojo]

Tork oppo hit. Now I know I'm dreaming.

During the rain delay, Jason was doing a Vin Scully impression. It was pretty funny.

[Crazy Cat Gentleman]

Keith flies out, though it seems like he kind of got ahold of it. Vierling tries for his own opposite-field HR but only gets it to the wall (and caught).

Melton gives up another jack, now tied at 2.

[Crazy Cat Gentleman]

long out to and the inning. ball is carrying.

[gehringer_2]

humid air feels 'heavy' -- is actually lighter than dry.

Aug of 88 was an especially hot summer. I remember it well.  I played baseball in a travel league and also had soccer practices that started in mid august. It was rough. I had a paper route and recall one day with the headline “104” which was the temp the day before 

That whole summer was no picnic.

One day that June I went to Oakland Mall on the day tickets went on sale for Frank Zappa at Meadowbrook Music festival that August. We had to wait outside until Hudson’s opened at 10, and  it was already, like, 90. Blessed relief to get inside. I decided to stick around and go to the Abbey Theater across 14 Mile and watch the new Roger Rabbit movie, where more air conditioning ensued. I think it got up to 104 or something that day, too.

Is that paragraph 80’s enough for you? 😄

Karp somehow Ks against Bradley.

[gehringer_2]

Kerry too aggressive in that AB, swung at 3 balls.

[Tigermojo]

Just missed.

[Crazy Cat Gentleman]

Riley smokes one to left but just gets a sac fly out of it. 3-2 Tigers

[Sports_Freak]

Terrible situational hitting by Carpenter. Just terrible.

[gehringer_2]

Tork swung at ball four then popped out.

[Tigermojo]

One dog, one beer and one run for nine innings? 

[Sports_Freak]

Jason said it best...Bradley really has no idea where the ball is going.

[Crazy Cat Gentleman]

I thought splitters were supposed to be down.

[Crazy Cat Gentleman]

lotta pitches for Bradley. gotta capitalize before he gets pulled.

Got an 11 mile bike ride in.  My shirt was half drenched by the end from sweat.  No rain.  Jumped in the shower, got out, and now it’s pouring on there.  Good timing, I guess.

Me too! Eleven almost on the dot!
