dagnabit! The idea was not to have to face Merrill.

EDIT: no harm, no foul!

WOOP WOOP!

Stay tied with Seattle.

I feel like a heroin addict who swore off junk and just found a little balloon of it in the alley and it’s the sweetest stuff ever.

And Parker catches the final out. How poetic.

This might be a key defining moment in the transformation of this franchise.

Kept this season from seriously slipping away tonight.            I think he's figured this out.

You’re optimism is fetch, but you still can’t sit with us in the lunchroom.

Twins and Royals play a 3 game series starting tomorrow. We have Skubal going in Oakland. Win...we'll be within 4 or 4.5 games.

I remember that game. Listening on the radio in Chicago, where the signal wasn’t always that clear.

And while we're at it, whiffing on two 1.1 picks are absolute franchise killers. The difference between a team finishing with 70-75 wins every year and a consistent playoff team every year.

Who do you think they should have picked instead?

Detroit radio was too far away in Idaho back in 1988. In Indiana in the 1960s though I could pick up Boston radio pretty clearly and I remember listening to some guy who I think his name was Jerry Williams.

Bert—quit trying to make fetch happen, you little skeez

[Jim Cowan]

Wow, from the jaws of defeat.

[Tenacious D]

Hard not to like Parker. Kind of a poor man’s Gibby.  Lot of power and speed and make things happen. 

Doesn’t hit as well as Kirk did, but fields much better. Also, seems much more approachable.  ****, they’re nothing alike.

Please disregard this post.

I woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning and was grumpy as heck and didn’t follow this game very closely, especially after I saw we were down 3–0. Forever it seemed… then I picked up the phone 10 seconds after the slam.

After the fact, I went back and watched that last inning on mlb.tv and noticed how jubilant and certain the crowd was that they were going to win. Their faces were glowing with a nearly childlike joy, and I almost felt bad for them, but only almost. I know what it’s like to feel crushed, and it was basically their turn. Baseball is a zero sum game, and there actually is crying in baseball, but not for us tonight.

The cool thing is that all four runs were scored by rookies.
