3 runs in the bottom of the 9th against the worst team in baseball

If you are taking a round trip on a train, make sure you buy an all day fare on the way out. You have to push the all day fare button at the very start of you transaction - make sure you do that first. I think it is button G on the first screen:Another vote for the MOA and taking train in. We go to about 6 Twins games a year and drive up from Iowa. We did this the very 1st time and it is just so dang convenient and cheap. Spend the night in a hotel near the MOA and train in. We usually eat at the Mall before the game, catch the game and then do whatever after the game then train back to the Mall after the crowds go away.
We bought Saturday August 10th and Sunday the 11th tickets against the Indians a few months ago because it was convenient calendar wise and we wanted to get the kids up there again before school starts. Well now didn't that suddenly turn into a great series to catch 2! Sometimes luck is an odd thing.
Terrible loss today. Bullpen mismanagement at its finest between yesterday and today. You should never have to go to Rogers up 7-0 in the bottom of the 9th, which in turn leads to him not wanting to use him to start the 9th today.
At least Dyson can only get better, yikes.
Flipped over after the Yankee game and I thought the plate ump was bad in that game. Just saw ball four to Kepler that may be the worst ball/strike call I've seen all year. And, Joe West is behind the plate. Surprise, surprise. At least the call went to the Twins but, man, oh man.
I have always thought that even as terrible as major league umps can be and with little accountability, Joe West must have something on Major League Baseball and they can’t get rid of him after all these years. That guy is an asshat above all asshats.Flipped over after the Yankee game and I thought the plate ump was bad in that game.

Dyson arrives at the ballpark in the third inning, gets sent to the pen in the fifth, then gets thrown in there to start the 9th. Welcome!
Still, they're professionals. Making lots of money to throw a ball past other guys. Dyson summed it up perfectly when he said "I didn't do my job".
Good news is, next 10 are at Target....warm up with the lowly Royals, then Atlanta, and then 4 chances to gain ground on the Tribe.
It'll be all right. You'll see.
I was unaware his contract had a club option for a second year. That is some great news. Looked into it briefly and looks like they would pay him 12 million for next year to keep him which is 2 mill less than this year I believe. Barring injury since he is pretty old, I would say Falvey and Levine can go ahead and plan on picking that baby up the moment they can this off season.Boomstick is the hottest player in the majors. Very happy the Twins have an option on him for next year too. He's carrying the team right now.
How did Buxton get hurt this time?
Arraez looks like a really good player. I like the comparison to Rod Carew when he is batting.
How does he always get hurt? Slamming into the wall. This time it sounds bad though. Will miss all of August.
