At 4 AM tonight, Jeremy Bonderman will still be awake.Because he lost a game that, for 7 innings, was the game of his life.
If not for Luis Castillo's bunt single to start the game, Bonderman would've taken a no-hitter into the 8th inning.
And then in that 8th inning, 2 errors, 3 infield hits and a balk helped the Twins score 6 runs for their most important win of the year.
Has anyone else considered that, as cool as a new stadium will be, that the Twins are really, really going to miss the Dome - at least from a competitive standpoint?
Because this was another one of those Dome wins.
A bunch of little-league shit leading to a victory.
You almost felt bad for Bonderman, but things just started to snowball (Shelton was horrible), and you almost knew that Cuddyer was gonna get a big hit to add some insurance runs.
Yeah, it feels kinda cheap to score the tying run on a balk, but ya know what?
He fuckin' balked.
That was a big time mistake. What was he thinking?
Who cares?
The Twins may have won only 1 of the 3 games, but the way they stole this one, it almost feels like they won the series.
They're certainly in a better mood tonight than any of the Kitties.

Of course the Twins feel better. Why shouldn't they - they're the ones who are 9 1/2 games behind the division-leading Tigers. And still third in the wild card chase.
Meanwhile, Detroit is cruising toward the title. I'll take 2 of 3 the rest of the way from the Tigs - they'll still beat the Twinkle Toes by 10-plus games in the division.
Fuck you sitting at your desk
Tigers are paper champs
They're the 2001 Mariners - awesome regular season, out in the first round
Is there still hope for the Twins?
