GameChat – Seattle @ Minnesota #3, 12:10pm

It sure feels like Fall out there already even though I guess that’s not technically until tomorrow. That being said, it should be a nice if cool day for baseball. The Budweiser Clydesdales are visiting Target Field today… yeah I don’t think that is enough to get the Twins a chance to win either. But here’s hoping!

So the Twins finally pulled off a WIN!!! Hard to believe I know. I wasn’t sure it was ever going to happen again this season but at least we denied the Mariners a sweep. There were a LOT of opportunities that the Twins didn’t take advantage of and quite frankly, Seattle basically handed us this game but I’ve seen our team refuse to accept gifted games before…

And given that there was only two of us in the chat today, it was hard to even remember that task of assigning a BOD!  But today, there was a single player who really made an offensive difference including the walkoff double for the win: Rene Tosoni. So for that standout performance, Rene, you are the Knuckleballs BOD!
