more evidence that the stars are not aligning in...
designaddict: so i still don't have cable and didn't see what our friend inge did last night
but i can guarantee whatever it was, i completely echo your sediments
me: he drove in 2 when we really needed it - especially in the end result
i was only watching gamecast on epsn.com so i cannot attest to the solidness of the hit, but i am still on the "Inge Must Go" Bandwagon
designaddict: yeah i saw 6-5. i still hate him. we need a 3B with some power
me: the end of that game was insane - literally put me into a fit - we went to a bar to watch the last 3 innings and it was unreal...Verlander has a terrible 7th and 8th - Twins tie it up 5-5. top of 9 grandy hits a solo HR - put us up 6-5.
me: Top of 9th: polanco makes a wretched error, puts a guy on. then granderson on the next play, misplays a ball that he catches 99.9999999% of the time. we were really the only 3 watching it and just flipping out - couldnt believe what we were seeing. at this point thinking, "sh*t, rodney needs all the help he can get - and this is happening - 2 of his most sure-handed teammates are messing it all up." we somehow got out of it to hang on to our 2 game lead.
designaddict: grandy must've tightened up. got a little nervous
me: it was bad...never seen him do that before. i will stop worrying when if we take one of the next 2.
designaddict: yeah, i'll be ok with splitting these next 2. up 2 games with 3 to play is a decent position, especially when we're at home for those 3. it just means, win 1 of the 3 and you should be in.
me: if we split the next two, MIN should drop 1 in KC (Greinke game) and as long as we win 1 in CHI the worst we can do is a playoff. caveat to the whole thing is that we have Bonine and Robertson pitching the next 2...not sure how i feel about that. and wtf! the Twins with all of those Lefties...i swear they put 6 lefties in the lineup everynight
designaddict: yeah i noticed that. it's unreal. they have a bunch of them
me: i counted 5 on their roster that played last night - 2 of which are switch. okay, ill stop flipping out and let you get some work done
