Time to get some runs across...

[Parfigliano]

Hoskins and the Mets have had problems for a couple years centered on Hoskins continually over sliding 2B in pretty obvious attempts to injure.

Need to square some of these lollipops up

Very nice Kirilloff!

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

Nicely done, AK.

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

Hopefully Flexen's out of the game now...

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

Come on, Ober...

[Parfigliano]

Another 2 out run by Ober

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

Playing a team 7 times in a week isn't easy...

[C-Gangster]

Do you guys think they can win 10 straight? personally it think they can even tho they are down.

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

At least they got Pham out...

White Sox labor under the same burden, no?

I do, but law of averages - 7 straight against one team isn't easy...

[MMMordabito]

ChiSucks just keep answering.  Keep coming back, Twins!

Sox really are an annoying team.

7 games seeing each other, in 10 days  will do that

I think it says a lot for the Twins, actually. Beating a team 6 straight times in such a short span of time - I think its hard to do.

Well, it is a lot easier if you are playing the team with the worst record in MLB than any other team.

Mostly, it doesn't matter who you play if your pitcher keeps throwing the ball in the middle of the zone. Even a lot of Ober's pitches that are in the high or low part of the zone, are middle. And many times, that is Vazquez's target! The pitches to Grossman were middle targets.

[Parfigliano]

Yea.  Their bullpen

Yup. Not a cleanly pitched game by any stretch.

Would be even harder for the White Sox to achieve.  😀

[RickOShea]

Any update on Buxton?

[Doctor Gast]

IMO Martin squares up Flexin

[h2oface]

So that means that Buxton has now had 2 caught stealings in a row.
