  3. Great, now I have to save my GOMQ load for tomorrow, how am I supposed to hold this in lol.

  13. I drove 5 hrs this morning and spent a couple hundred dollars for that…

    I’m dead inside

  15. IM CALLING IT NOW JOE RYAN THROWS A NO HITTER THROUGH 7 TWINS WIN 3-0 AND PABLO LOPEZ THROWS 6 INNINGS FOR A NAIL BITER 4-3 WIN AND TWINS ARE GOMQ

  16. what dumbass made a potentially series deciding game at 1pm on a wednesday. Do they think people don’t work or have school?

  18. This just means we’re winning by 16 tomorrow

    (please do not extrapolate from this trend any further)

  19. Awful. Just everyone basically. Pagan is probably player of the game. Kirilloff and probably Wallner need to sit. I don’t care if it’s lefty or righty, doesn’t matter….at this point you have 0 reason to believe they’re going to give you quality at bats. Just so so disappointed

  20. Five postseason games complete and this is the first one that was genuinely god awful

    Backs against the wall at home tomorrow. Get the big hits, pitch well, and get a couple of lucky bounces.

    Force game 5.

  22. I see what they did there let ‘em think it will be a cake walk the rest of the way, Big brain play

  23. Not a good showing by Sonny but also not really his fault. When one hitter has a better day than our whole lineup that’s just not a winnable game. We’ll get them tomorrow.

  24. Major stinker. Rebound tomorrow. Joe Ryan will channel his CGSO, twins offense lights up, we gomq.

  25. The Twins lost game five of the 1991 World Series 14-5.

    Some rough play today but also some tough luck. I trust our guys to flush it and move on to tomorrow.
