IS IT OVER YET?
You know what might possibly make Twins fans more suicidal? That's right: Insurance runs! Nick Swisher leads off the ninth inning of Wednesday afternoon's loss with a double, and Marco Scutaro -- just say the word, OHHH!!!!! ... Scu-Scu-Scutaro! -- could bring him home. Look! The Twins have...remember they have Joe Nathan! He's just warming up, though. Scu-Scu-Scutaro grounds Swisher to third. And now Nathan is coming in.
How come no one has mentioned how much Marco Scutaro looks like Scott Baio??? This is an egregious oversight.
WILD PITCH! Another run scores. We don't mean to imply that the Twins are toast, but there are buzzards being vivisected by the Metrodome's air conditioning system.
Joe Nathan doesn't look so hot, which is probably because he plays for the Twins, who, at this rate, will be hit by buses as soon as they leave the dome. Kotsay doesn't hit an inside-the-parker this time, fouling out. To the bottom of the ninth....eh...two on, two out...Punto pops out for the Twins.... over. Poor kids.
A's 5, Twins 2
(A's lead best of five series two games to none heading out West)
