It could be worse

[DaveW]

If everything holds constant the rest of tonight, as ****ty as the twins have played lately they will be 1.5 games out of the wild card and 1 game back from the Angels. If they can manage to win tomorrow (Sunday) they suddenly are pretty much exactly where they were after the solid road trip.

 

May the least choke artist team win?

Good point - it isn't time to run around the neighborhood with our hair on fire saying the world is ending. 

[Otto von Ballpark]

Astros finally won a game, so we are 2.5 back.

I choose to enjoy the fact that we are still in playoff contention with two weeks left.  Way better than I expected going into this season.

[Kwak]

Sunday's game is win or else.  The Angels travel to Houston for three games--and somebody has to win.

I am worried about beating the Indians.

[Badsmerf]

I've been pretty consistent about keeping the faith. I'm over it. Twins are not making the playoffs this year. The pitching staff is in shambles.

They still have a puncher's chance - they have been in most (if not all) of the games during this 5 game skid. Let's see how it plays out.

Punchers? Our 2015 Twins? I'm sorry, when I saw this phrase all I could think of was this.

True, but it seems they might be better off punching people, instead of trying to hit baseballs.

It aint over till it's over.

 

Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?

Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbour?

FIFY.

I guess I was thinking a George McFly from Back To The Future puncher's chance.

[ashbury]

FIFY.

Fourget it, he's roulling

I am worried about beating the Indians.

 

I'm worried about Indians, too.

[DaveW]

Could you imagine if the Twins make a game 163 and toss out Nolasco or Pelfrey to start the game? That is actually a semi realistic possibility.

I'd say they have a Sano's chance
