Looks like we're ahead, 2-0. I like seeing that. I also like that I couldn't watch the game last night, so as I was getting massively hammered, I checked the score on the news crawl at the bottom of ESPN. Go me!
Baker is pitching! EEEEEE! And Dickey is in the bullpen ... teehee. I love Dickey jokes, because I'm a 7-year old.
And a game-tying homer by Roland. Awesome?
BOTTOM O' THE 2nd:
This guy says the Jay's pitcher studied Baker in the offseason. No big deal ...
Redmond is up. Like I said before, I think he sort of looks like a burn victim. Like, in a good way ... ? I know that sounds judgmental, but that's okay because I'm judgmental.
Here comes Dirty Punto! He looks like he's pocket-sized. Oh cute, he's 5'9" according to MLB.com. You could fit him in a teacup with a lump of sugar. Bounces one to short and is tagged out.
TOP O' THE 3rd:
Merle Harmon died today, who was an announcer for Twins, Brewers, etc. games. Aw. This has been a bad, bad couple of weeks for baseball.
OH SHIT, another two-run homer for the Jays. I'm annoyed. 2-4 now.
WHAT, AND ANOTHER??? Baker is not amused. Why do all these players have #42 on the back of their jerseys?
Gomez ends the inning with a catch deep in center. Finally. 2-5.
BOTTOM O' THE 3rd:
And here's Gomez as the lead-off batter, but is put away at 1st. He did a sweet slide, though.
Span is up, lookin' fine. Hits it to the gap in center, makes it a single.
Oooh, Casilla. Span is getting a little Denarded, trying to sneak another base. Please, if you can manage to get on base, that's really all you need to do. Most Twins can't even do that, so don't screw it up, mister. Casilla is taking his time. And he's walked.
MORNEAUUU! Some chick had a "marry me, Morneau" sign and Dick's like, "a little late - he got married in the off-season." Please, girl. You're wasting your time. He hits one, but Casilla is tagged out at 2nd and Morneau makes it to 1st.
Kubes hits one, but gets a third out and the inning's over.
TOP O' THE 4th:
Baker is still pitching. Oh, spectacular, there's another homer. That's the 4th off of Baker. I just threw up in my mouth.
OH DUH, #42 is for Jackie Robinson, because today is the 60-somethingth anniversary of him breaking the color barrier. "The color barrier" is a lame, lame term. But you go, Jackie.
BOTTOM O' THE 4th:
Cuddyer, obviously, is put away quickly. Here's Crede, but he's retired too.
Aaaand here's Redmond, fresh out a burning building.
TOP O' THE 5th:
Phillip Humber? Who is this clown?
BOTTOM O' THE 5th
Dick, Burt, and Ron are discussing Gomez being too young and too eager to hit the ball. I agree; he'll just get buck wild on the first pitch, rather than being patient like Span or Mauer and taking it in stride. Still, he's fun to watch.
And that inning went quick.
TOP O' THE 6th:
Weird; the ball bounced off the foot of a Jays player while he was running, making him automatically out. I have never seen that before.
And then some wiggity-wack business happened ... Casilla misses a hit, Gomez grabs it and tosses it to 3rd, which hits a runner in the back of the head - he goes for home then runs back to 3rd, and finally Morneau tosses it back to Crede at 3rd, but he's called safe. SHENANIGANS!
Okay, the bases are loaded with 2 outs. Can we please get this 3rd out now so I don't have to have a heart attack?
Oh sweet, they scored twice. 8 to 2. Is it too late to be a Yankees fan now?
Dickey's on the mound. Teeheehee. Oh, and what's that? The Jays score again?
The inning ends with the Twins behind, 9-2.
BOTTOM O' THE 6th:
Morneau is put away, and here's Kubel. And he's put away at first, too.
Ohh, CUDDY. Hits one high into center, but it's caught. That was quick.
TOP O' THE 7th:
Oh my goodness, we're missing balls left and right. Our fielding is embarrassing tonight.
And it's now 10-2. Why am I still watching?
BOTTOM O' THE 7th:
Gomez is getting all frustrated and worked up. C'mon, GoGo. And he's put away.
My Man Span ... aw, and the inning's over. Christ.
FINAL: 12-2, Jays.
VERDICT:
Um, where did our fielding skills go? And batting ... where's that?
