TWINS 1, DODGERS 0
Rubby De La Rosa went an admirable seven innings (take note, Ted Lilly!) and only gave up a single run (take note, Ted Lilly!), but that was more than enough for the Twins. Minnesota starter Scott Baker had 9 Ks on the day to hold the Dodgers in check; Andre Ethier was the worst offender, going 0-for-4 with 3 Ks. Even worse, however, is the fact that Juan Uribe (1-for-4), Marcus Thames (1-for-3), and Dioner Navarro (1-for-4) aggregated for 5 LOB and yet all three of them raised their batting averages. Criminy.
For a series that started with such a flourish, it's depressing (but not altogether surprising) to go down so meekly in the finale.

Limp? Quick, someone get Delino's bobble-celery!
^Not a euphemism...I think.

I flung my wireless keyboard into the wall in my cube from frustration.
I think I broke it.
We suck, but at least I have thus far retained my capacity for hijinks.
I got some good distance on this throw, actually.
I bet PPR flung his keyboard farther than Loney hits a fly ball.
My favorite keyboard-smashing scene was this one, from Wanted.
but yeah, I wanted to smash a keyboard as well.
these Dodgers.
sheesh.
WE SUCK
Andrew Baggarly of the San Jose Mercury News reports that the Giants have had discussions with the Dodgers about trading for Juan Uribe.DO IT, DO IT, DO IT, DO IT!!
we'll throw in dioner navarro and a dozen dodger dogs (which will be gone by the time uribe and navarro arrive in SF)
the badges have been rolling in lately. They've taken the dates off, so I'm not sure when the floodgates started opening, but I've got 169 badges as of this second (including Scott Baker from his five strikeouts today (he had nine total))
cubs were up 1-0 in the ninth against the giants and blew it. it's now 1-1 with two on and one out for SF.
great.
stupid cubs.
epale everyone!
are we winning yet?
*cries*
it's not the ASG yet, how can anyone lose hope?
Cubs ended up winning it with two out in the bottom of the ninth!
Dodgers are only 9.5 GB!!!
Badge lovers: "turn on" the Marlins/A's game, you've got a shot at a Ricky Nolasco badge (though you've missed the Guillermo Moscoso 4 Ks badge already)
whoops, sorry--we're 10.5 GB. I assumed we were in fourth place--we're in FIFTH PLACE
