annoyed. Aaron Gleven of the athletic. Yeah. Well, it's never easy, John. In in life well i could say i can actually say that most of the time yeah i like to keep a constant i'd say yeah 75% annoyed just kind of a level like and then i like to jump up to 100. But I was- Alex Calame is doing his best.

1:12.9

Yes.

1:13.7

Help you out with that.

1:14.8

I was at the game, and the way it works is we're going to be on the air.

1:18.6

Hello, you're listening to us every Sunday at 5 o'clock now.

1:21.5

Kind of a post-game show here.

We talk about the twins.

1:24.2

We recap the week.

1:25.1

We look ahead.

1:25.7

We'll do all that stuff. I don't know. It's like our 10th season, eight season. I don't know how many doing this. But I was at Target Field watching this thing, watching it all kind of slip away. And I say to Dan Hayes, my coworker at the athletic, I got to, I got to go here. And he goes, why you wait like three batters? And the third batter was the home run that Colome. I'm literally standing up at my backpack on. And Colome serves up the three-run homer. Well, in an ideal world, it would have just been three batters, right? Yeah, yes. Because I'm like, I'm cutting it close here. And so he serves up the Homer. I salute my fellow writers in the press box and I leave, which to their point of view,

much stuff looked very strange.

2:06.2

It's like, well, he can't stand.

2:08.0

I've given up on this team.

2:09.1

I'm done.

2:10.3

2:15.5

I mean, they were up big on a what is not a good team. I mean, this is just a disjointed roster full of, you know, AAA guys and, you know, some decent role players and stuff. And obviously they won two out of three from the Twins, so you have to give them credit for that. But, I mean, there's no way the Twins should have lost this game. No. They were up, what, six. There's certainly no way they should lose this series. Six nothing. They got three really good starting pitching performances and managed to lose two out of three versus the Mariners. Well, they almost got a third one from Shoemaker. He kind of fell apart in the six. But he did well enough. Was this Rocco Baldelli's worst game that we've seen? Well, everybody wanted him to leave the starter in longer. That's what I heard on Twitter. Everybody was all upset that he hadn't left starters in too long. He left him in to give up four runs. But yeah, it wasn't a great game. I mean, but here's the thing. You're up six nothing in the, whatever, fourth or fifth inning on a not good team at home.
