Tweetcap: The Best Tweets from Game 27

First, let's do beat writers. Both the A's and Angels have some excellent beat writers, but the one I really enjoy when games start getting out of hand for any reason is Jane Lee. Her tweet stream just starts becoming more and more snarky over time, and this morning, she was at her pinnacle. Here is a sampling of some of her best ones:

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p>Turns out they saved "Call Me Maybe" for the 12th inning. Grrr.</p>&mdash; Jane Lee (@JaneMLB) <a href="https://twitter.com/JaneMLB/status/329121528614625280">April 30, 2013</a></blockquote>

There are plenty of other ones on her timeline. Take a look for some laughs. Here are some from other writers:

There are plenty of others. If you don't tweet, then you missed out on a lot of solid comedy last night. Shout out to everyone who follows me and the @athleticsnation account for making what should have been a tedious game to watch be an enjoyable thing that kept me wired through the night and into this morning.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to adjust my IV coffee drip.
