Recovering addict/current rat bastard Josh Hamilton hit one deep in the 10th to give the Walker Texas Rangers a ten inning win yesterday, taking two out of three at the Dome. This is the point where I would start firing away with a flurry of heroin addict jokes, like how many heroin addicts does it take to screw in a light bulb, what's big, red, and dripping in heroin, a Priest, a Rabbi, and a heroin addict all walk into a bar, etc. but I won't, cause I'm too classy. Twice the Twins squandered chances to put the game away both in the 7th and 8th inning, but alas, we're the Twins and the term "clutch hitting" means about as much to us as "ketchup vacuum" or "Unicorn spaceship" or "French Army". Fucking frogs."You have one of the hottest hitters in baseball beat us, and you never want to let that guy beat you," Justin Morneau said. "But the guy hitting behind him [Milton Bradley, who went 2-for-4 with a double] is swinging a good bat, too, so it's kind of tough. Do you walk him and give the guy behind him a chance? It's one of those things."
Move over Tim McCarver!
Bass said he just left the ball up. He acknowledged Hamilton is one of those hitters that you absolutely cannot afford to make a mistake to.
"That is what you are supposed to do with a hanging slider, hit it out of the ballpark," Bass said. "That's what he did."
The Twins are now 3.5 back with a series in Detroit coming up this weekend. Hope the Tigers already got their "fix" of hitting clutch home runs. Damnit, I was doing so good too.

Also, he just struck you out.
