  1. We’re back and we’ve always been back. And we’ll never not be back again.

  2. #TWINS: WIN

    #As: LOSE

    #CINNAMON: ROLLED

    #KEPLER: BUM

    #WINNING: IS COOL

    #WERE: GOMQ

    #LEAGUE: FUCKED

  3. # I AM ONCE AGAIN ASKING TO FIRE RESIDENT SHITTER DAVID POPKINS

    # THE A’S CANT SAVE YOU FROM MY WRATH

  4. The twins heard everyone in yesterday’s PGT say “let’s never do this again” and they really tried to do it again

  5. HALLELUJAH! My home team curse lives. 🙏🏼🕯️🙏🏼🕯️🙏🏼🕯️🙏🏼🕯️🙏🏼🕯️🙏🏼🕯️🙏🏼

  6. Offense picking up the pitching staff when they have a rough day, just like we’ve been seeing all year

  7. i would like to petition the league that we only play the A’s and the royals for the rest of the season, and then only play the A’s and the royals in the postseason

  8. Missed the 1st 3 innings. Took a break when I saw it was 6-0 and started watching figuring it’d be stress free…..I’m sorry for almost cursing us tonight. Turned it back off at 7-5.

  9. This is the first high scoring game of the year that I can remember where truly the offense carried us

  10. Buxton seemed surprised and excited when he didn’t strike out with the bases loaded. Progress?
