I don't understand why certain posters take it upon themselves to be the conscience of this thread.  I may be negative, but I don't have this fetish to be in constant chastisement mode.

Get your 10s up in the Magic Number jersey thread! And get your 9s ready and cheer on the Giants! Blizzard winner!

Cincinnati beat Detroit so the Twins magic number against them is already 9. I suspect that the Tigers will be the last team eliminated in the Central race.

That's a nice win, bout time we beat those guys. Let's get the sweep tomorrow and send a message! 

I'll give you 3-1 against. 

Beer at TF?

magic number for the playoffs is 10.

Magic number is 7 for over 83 wins on the season.

I think Willie Castro is the MVP of the Twins for the season.

As long as my beer is in your other hand sure. I mean, I've been seen with worse. There was a modcon once.

Castro-Taylor have provided far more from the CF position then Buxton could

No, should have if not for our fielding, baserunning and relief pitching.

So glad we pulled off the win tonight. Got home and had to get the kids to bed so didn't get to follow at the end. I was listening when Willie hit his HR and we took the lead. Nice to find out our bullpen held up. Great efforts by Varland, Thielbar, and Duran!

Here is a pointer for you. Strikes are also pitches that you swing at that are out of the zone.

Like the 2 vazqeuz did that were at his eyes. Watch the game and leave me alone, you argue to argue never provide any actual input and border on harassment.

I do watch the game. A helluva lot closer than you do. Littell threw 1st pitch strikes. The Twins hitters were taking the approach of swinging early in the count. The problem was execution. You named 2 players out of the first 23 hitters who swung at pitches our of the strike zone early in the count. Vasquez and Correa and that justifies your moronic statement. And then to top it off you claim how right you are when Castro connects for a homer on a 1st pitch out of the strike zone golf shot. Duhhh

Rest my case.

Kepler and Castro get goo pitches to hit and we score.

Correa didnt and we struck out in between

Rest your case on what? Castro swinging at a 1st pitch that was out of the strike zone.  Mr. Politician. Change that narrative to prove your right.
