MLB Extra Innings

*UPDATE*

Amazing game ends 14-13 when Mike Cuddyer thrown out at home plate trying to score from 2nd on a wild pitch. Only problem is that he was safe at the plate and the ump got the call wrong. Nice job ump ruining one of the best games of the entire season. Thanks a million

For the first week of the second half of the major league baseball season, MLB extra innings is giving a free preview allowing all comcast subscribers to watch every out of market game. This is obviously heaven to true baseball fan and all other activities for the week will have to be postponed until the free baseball is disabled.

I bring this up because I am watching one of the craziest games ever. The Twins were leading the A's 12-2 in the 3rd inning. Former White Sox prospect Gio Gonzalez allowed 11 runs in 2.2IP and the game was all but over. Fangraphs win projection had the Twins winning at 98.9% in the 3rd and even 98.5% in the 7th inning. Well Oakland responded with a 7 run 7th behind a Matt Holliday grand slam to tie followed by a Jack Cust homer giving them the lead. Fangraphs has the A's now winning at 75% but given the craziness of this game, who the frick knows.

Holliday has 2 homers and 12 total bases, while Morneau has 2 homers and 7 RBIs in the 3rd inning. Joe Mauer isn't even playing today. Does DME still think Morneau is overrated? How you like them apples?
