Into the 6th, there has been a pitching duel: the intrepid and noble Twins 0 and the hated Yankees 0.
The Twin have finally struck and struck first.
End of the inning, Twins 1 Yanks 0.
Go Twins!
About this blog…
“This blog is like a fusion of the Baroque ‘salon’ with its well-tuned harpsichord around which polite society gathered for entertainment and edification and, on the other hand, a Wild West “saloon” with its out-of-tune piano and swinging doors, where everyone has a gun and something to say. Nevertheless, we try to point our discussions back to what it is to be Catholic in this increasingly difficult age, to love God, and how to get to heaven.” – Fr. Z

Middle 8th
Twins 3
Yankees 1
WOW! Another nail-biter now begins in the 9th!
Pitching duels are the best. And the easiest on my scorecard. And you gotta love top 10th!
Another nail-biter.
…is right.
Will no one rid me of this team?
DOUBLE PLAY!!!! 163 all over again!
THAT was a foul? The ump missed THAT?
Twins were robbed in that inning by the umpire.
Always Remember: The Yankees NEED this more than the Twins…If the Yankees do not get their way, people lose their jobs and injustice is served – its the Yankee way after all.
If the Twins lose, we live on and get up the next day, aware that true treasure is not in World Series rings, but in heaven…
Dang.
John Sterling: “Ballgame over! Yankees win! Theeee Yankees win!”
The agony of defeat. It’s never worse than when it happens in OT.
Okay… next game in Minnesota.
Gosh, Father. I love your blog, but this anti-Yankee sentiment is disturbing. Everyone knows that God wears pinstripes. :)
D . . . Yankees!
Since I was born in Da Bronx (on Sedgwick Ave. of course), my heart is still with Da Yankees, though their collection of millionaire egos does get pretty tiresome. But don’t worry, Father Z, they’ll run into a buzz saw when they play the Angels.
Reading these updates is as close as I can get to baseball.
Pittsburgh……..
home to seven bishops of US dioceses, including one Cardinal….
Super Bowl Champs…..
Stanley Cup champs………..
and the worst baseball team in the majors.
And how many Papal Masses have been said in the Metro-Gnome?
grrrr! stupid Yankees! Well, they’re coming to our house tomorrow and we’ll get them then. You were right though Father, we were robbed in the 10th.
And how many Papal Masses have been said in the Metro-Gnome?
The same number that have been said in the current Yankee Stadium: zero.
