Game Thread: AL WC Game: Minnesota Twins AT New York Yankees 8 PM EST/ESPN

Yes. Waiting for the 4 edible caramels to kick in. Combined with the wine/beer today, I expect to coast on the highway of awesome all evening.

And THAT, my friend, is why you are a winner.

There is no reality where the Twins win this game. They had a 3 run lead and couldn't even maintain it for an inning.

well, if you were a Yankees fan then it was because... well... You can see....

This kid might be special. Watched about 10 of his starts (because fantasy and MLB.TV)

My ticker is going a little fast over this BS game, but other then that all good.

I can understand that. It’s an outrageous game. I'd hate to have a dog in this one.

The only guy in the majors who may be faster is Billy Hamilton.

he is
1. Billy Hamilton, 30.1 ft/sec
2. Byron Buxton, 29.9
3. Bradley Zimmer, 29.8


The elite speedsters touch 30 feet per second, and the slowest of the slow are down around 23-24 feet per second. Olympian Usain Bolt, by comparison, has reached up to 37 feet per second in his first 40 meters.

Great format if you don't have a dog in the race. If you are a fan of one of the teams, this is hard to watch.

Yeah, I just put the kids to sleep and knew it was going to the bullpens, so I figured just a matter of time before the yanks took over, but going to berrios, I’m not sure.

I fucking love these wild card games to start the postseason. Fire up the drama!

I want the Yanks, then Sox, then Cubs.

What if they are a team of Destiny??!

 

[redseat]

hahaha... I needed that. Thank you!

 

[Mondo Jay]

You never know when Destiny will rear its ugly head.

The Twins? Naw.. Doubt it... But anything is possible I guess

Been there. Here is the view I had from my seats at Cleveland’s wild card game, I think in ‘14.


They lost, so I know what that’s like.

Agreed.

Dude has a sharp breaking ball.
