If I can't watch the game - did it really happen?

A new rule, games not available to be watched locally should not count against the team.  So today's game (I have my fingers in my ears so I can't hear all the runs that were scored) was simply exercise for the Blue Jays (and they got a bunch, didn't they?).  ....mumble , mumble, Jays tied team record for most runs scored in an inning........ can't put fingers in ears far enough to keep all the runs out....LNP gets a hit, then is thrown out stealing (I've heard this somewhere before)...... da, da, da, and we were resting RonDL after he appeared in what, 2 games?!?.......mumble, mumble, mumble; and the non-Kubel ends the game by striking out LOOKING - dead silence.

Here we are in the top of the ninth

Torii Hunter standing at third with one out and Rondell White is at bat.  Dick Bremer mentions that the Twins are rapidly running out of outs here in the top of the ninth.  I say "You're right Sherlock, and I predict that Rondell White, the Great Hope, will burn up one of those outs" - and then loe and behold - Rondell strikes out!!!  And he's not a 100%? -oh,  just wait till he gets back to full performance. (heavy sarcasm should be applied here)

And then to end the inning Tyner flys out to center field.

Santana was not on tonight - perhaps the stress of trying to pitch shut out baseball every time its he takes  his turn on the mound is beginning to tell.

Twins out hit Toronto, but of course we had fewer runners cross home plate - and that Baby, is where it counts.
