Wait, is Dotel warming up?

Well, it's the same game as last night. You guys confident in our pen or do the Athletics have us right where they want us, ready to choke like yesterday? You make the call before it happens.

Seattle blows it, nothing new.

Twins tied it, now they're probably gonna win it.

Twins just can't lose at home.

This game is there for the taking. Our pen has sucked. Let's hope.

Sit down, Cust.

Seattle blows it, nothing new.

 

 

Not only that, but they had to throw through to the plate, allowing the winning run to get to 2nd.

 

Dumb play.

That's how you pitch to Cust!

Two up two down by Thornton. Keep it rolling Mr. Thornton.

Sit down, Crosby.

Uribe's foot was about a tenth of an inch from going out on him on that double play.

Annoucer kiss of death. How soon till Thornton implodes after Mazzoni annoints the best lefty set-up man in baseball?

The M's better score in the top of the 9th...because Mauer, Morneau and D. Young are batting in the bottom of the 9th.

 

I wonder if Gardenhire will go with Nathan here? He still has Guerrier and Reyes to use...but Guerrier has been REALLY shaky recently.

You think Thornton will be a starter someday? If he has control he might be good.

Insurance please

Daaaaaaamn. Thornton just blew away everybody.

Thornton's pretty f***ing amazing on Fox Saturday.

I think it's more likely he becomes a closer.

This is where baseball is crazy. Thornton obviously is on. Do you pitch him in the ninth against a bad team like Oakland or bring in the closer? Obviously you bring in the closer, but is that truly the right call? Has baseball outthought itself?

Pinch run Anderson please.

This may sound dumb but is Wise still on the team? Isn't he faster than BA?

You've been using this term a lot lately.

Horrific at bat by the god. Had a productive day, though.

s***. Twins have a great shot to win the game in the 9th with their big boys up.
