Joe, sweetheart, you know how you hit a double to lead off the ninth in a tie game? And you know how you scored the winning run? That was cool.

Posted by Batgirl at August 14, 2005 05:12 PMWooHoo!
We won a Road Series!
Let's go hand the Bitch Sox their sasses!
Posted by: talldrinkowater at August 14, 2005 05:20 PMThat was pretty sweet. Pegs, brakes, shocks . . . lucky! Rock on Chairman!
Posted by: Hannah (the second) at August 14, 2005 05:21 PMI know, I know! Joe Mauer should be the catcher AND the hitting coach! it'll work! I promise!
Posted by: kafumbly at August 14, 2005 05:28 PMGosh, Lew, let's pick it up. Batgirl and Joe are hot on our tail.
Posted by: Jeb at August 14, 2005 06:42 PMyay!!!! GO MAUER!!!!!

I may waiver when Johan is dominant like he was the other night, but its clutch performances like this that remind me why Joe is my NSMC.
Posted by: neutrino boi at August 14, 2005 08:47 PMof course the Chairman rocked on the fine afternoon in California. And, yes, we sure did need his double and run. But Carlos Silva, Rincon, and Nathan--well they, for but one run, shut down that hot offense of Oakland. I, of course, realize that I am NOT the great and wonderful Bat girl and so I of course defer. But geez the pitching was marvelous today.
And more importantly we won, we won a series no less. I am

Posted by: kal at August 14, 2005 08:53 PMI don't know about anyone else, but I've had this nagging feeling for a week or two. And in the back of my mind this thought has been nagging at me. That thought is this, it's not out of the realm of possibility that we can catch the ChiSox and still win the division. It's not uncommon, in baseball, to make a run like that. All we have to do is get hot.
Posted by: mmmarkiep at August 14, 2005 08:56 PMOK Markie I with you but we have to blow the Bitch Sox out of thier socks for the next series we play them
Posted by: mas at August 14, 2005 09:14 PMYeah, mas, sowing the seeds of doubt and hoping they fester and bloom into a full fledged flower of failure is key.
Posted by: mmmarkiep at August 15, 2005 12:20 AMWell if we want an easy way to beat the Bitch Sox, someone should sneak into their hotel rooms and put David Ortiz cardboard cutouts at the end of all the pitchers beds. He thoroughly terrorized them at Fenway this weekend.
Wow, we won a series, on the road, against a hot team, by winning 2 one-run games...
AMAZING!!! Let's keep it going.
