Let's Go Twins! Live Blogging.

by Jeni



A live update.

Dane, Ingrid, Colin and I are watching the Twins in the top of the tenth.

People keep calling Dane afraid that the Twins won't win. Ingrid consoles them (and Dane) by answering the phone saying, "Don't worry Dane will hold you like he did on Naboo." The phone call ends.

Nathan Strike-Out. Boom. 1 Out.

Punto runs out of his way to catch a mad fly ball, 2 Out.

Nathan is behind in the count, 2-0. Ingrid consoles Dane, who is trying to endearingly mock Joe Nathan's ticks. Colin joins him.

A strike. A ball. 3-1. Nathan wipes his brow. Jeni thinks to herself, "Choke, Konerko."

High Pop-Up...Gomez, the game's stand-out catches it, ending the inning.

Dane laments Gardenhire's affection for Nick Punto. Jeni disagrees (but would rather dis-concur.) The line-up for the bottom of the 10th is Harris, Punto and Gomez.

Harris is gone on one pitch. Jeni thinks Punto will bunt and slide head first into first. Dane remarks, "Alright Punto, if you get a hit, the team will buy you the Blizzard of the Month: Banana Cream Pie."

Punto is on first with a walk. Will Gomez get his 3rd triple of the game?

Foul Pop Up. Gomez kisses his bat. Dane hopes Gomez gets a home-run to complete the cycle. Gomez is out but advances Punto to 2nd. Dane notes that Span, now up to bat, could also complete the cycle with a home run.

Punto steals third. It appears that Jeni is more right about Punto than Dane.

Intentional walk of Span, who will reach the bag for the 5th time tonight. Methinks, "lame."

Casilla hits a liner to center. TWINS WIN!!! TWINS WIN!!! Twins are number one in the division!!!

Punto, you get the banana cream pie.
