The record for playoff losses in a row among professional sports teams? I doubt it.

you fans act like the past doesn’t matter. It does, it’s miserable and not getting any better 

Geez man if it's so bad stop watching, don't wanna be a downer, right? 

[KirbyDome89]

What is going on with Lopez and giving up all these hits as a Twin.....

They’ll be lucky if they get the chance to add to that streak this year

Lopez just isn't what he was in Baltimore. 30 hits in 48.1 innings.

 

Since with the Twins.... 12 hits in 11.2, and TONS of contact. What did Baltimore know that the Twins didn't?

Twins got hosed on this chump. Steer already looking like the best player in the Mahle trade too. Maybe Terry Ryan was into something when he never participated in deadline trades. People running the twins have failed at this again, and again, and again.....

[howeda7]

Terrible loss. Lopez melting down is concerning. 

[h2oface]

And Lopez not aware of his infielders position, and punching the ground with his pitching hand after the double play is not in time because of the defleciton. Smart. I guess he didn't hear about Plesac..... again........

Terry with his great post season record.

I thought people wanted more aggressive baseball, moving the runner, stealing bases? What did they get Hamilton for then anyway? This seems like a case of damned if you do, damned if you don't. AKA whining.

If thus sucks so bad why do you watch? I think you would feel better if you left

[h2oface]

It's right in front of us.............

Time to push the shiny red button on this season Ren and Stimpy style.

I'm not sure who's worse right now, him or Pagan.  Either way, we lose.

Please. Terry Ryan sitting on his hands and not helping the 2006 Twins was criminal. Steee's played one game. I'm not a fan of Falvey but this is a ridiculous rush to judgment.

Hamilton is already in scoring position…. you don’t need the extra base 

[Montdak]

Lopez hasn’t really been very good since coming over.  Tonight no walk so hits a guy instead then gets in the way of an inning ending DP.  Shouldn’t he know where his fielders are?  Makes it a lot easier not to stick out your glove reflexively.

[Peter]

Terrible loss-how do they recover from this??? This will have long lasting effect rest of season ?????Damn damn damn!!! Ruined my whole day?????

[Parfigliano]

Tomorrow should be fun if someone gets HBP

[rwilfong86]

Squandered.

So never steal third base?

Pagan still being on the roster is a joke. Even if we'd made it to the 10th, he'd have lost it then.

Just be you, buddy. Everyone else can be them. Control issues?

[Winston Smith]

Best thing the twins have against the Sox is LaRussa. He's out now which is bad for the Twins.

If Hamilton successfully steals 3rd and Urshella walks, he scores on Cave's fly ball.

Don't disagree with that assessment.
