If you had to choose one . . .

Play of the game?

1) Griffey’s throw to home
2) Thome’s HR
3) BA’s game ending catch

Not just the throw – but the tag – and the ice cream-coned ball in AJ’s mitt.

And specifically – AJ standing up holding his mitt out to show Cuddyer the ball.

Big props to Cuddyer for not punching AJ in the face.

You had to figure he would.

Ozzie’s gonna try to steal game 1 and get all the “real” pitchers back on normal rest. At minimum, Javy ought to be able to keep the bullpen fresh. Also, if he’s going to start, it’s better that he do it on the road than in front of a hostile home crowd.

Owens, I think will be there and then probably Q! depending on if he can even swing a bat, but i think that’s overly optimistic. Fields is an interesting choice in case he wants to pinch hit for Uribe at some point. More I think of it, it will probably be Macdougal, Carrasco, Owens and Fields.

a gem from the twinkie town recap:

This was a game that the Twins could have, and probably should have, won…but didn’t. John Danks was the windshield, Minnesota’s offense was the bug, and John Danks was also the windshield wipers smearing us across John Danks the windshield. John Danks was also driving, laughing maniacally while smoking a cigar and running over kittens. He was also talking on his cell phone and not wearing a seat belt. JOHN DANKS IS A MANIAC!

i expect thank you notes to larry's mom from each of you on my desk by thursday morning.

i’m sure a lot of you were struggling during the game. was larry lying to us when he assured us victory? why can’t the sox score runs? what does natalie punto look like? why is ken griffey in center? who nick blackburn? how does larry’s mom assure the sox victory? what does SSH2005 think of all of this? and, why can’t the sox score more runs?

i thought this was implied but larry’s mom is old. likes the low scoring games. likes things to be difficult, like when she had to walk backwards to school uphill and then swim home in a shark infested lake michigan. she said tonight’s game was a lesson: even midgets (who she assured me are “people”, too) can do great things if they try hard enough. normally i’d argue with her about how midgets aren’t people and use nick punto as a counter example. but she was all tuckered out after the effort she put in tonight assuring victory. i think john danks’ nut sack descends all the way to the ground and provided the millimeter required for the sox midget to out-tall the twin midget.

it's all about john danks.
