Currently in the 3rd of 3 WC spots. 

Let's go, boys.

Sox have lost 17 in a row. That's effing amazing! They're putrid, but at some point, obviously they'll win one.  Who else here thinks they take a game or two from us this series? I sure hope I'm wrong, but I just have a feeling that they do. I think Rocco-Ball lets them win one. KC is in front of us by a half game...time to put the pedal to the metal now!

Not to be confused with mediocre Vazquez.

I don't think I've seen a betting line of -325 when the favored teams starting pitcher has a losing record.

HEY HEY！   All the way from H. K.!  

I'll be at the game tonight- Sec. 120, I believe.  My Twins Cities portion of summer journey turned into an ad hoc adventure, but got in yesterday, and got tix for tonight!  If you're at the game, give a shout, let's meet up in the concourse for a pint!  (Unless it's $20 or more...)  

Toying with going on Sunday as well, but then I'll be at Wrigley the next 3 days, catching even more Twins!  

[David HK]

So, what food venue, etc. should I not miss?   And do they have Summit there?

Holy cow!

And we were so happy when we won... how many in a row did we win?

 

It is distinctly opposed to the doctrine of averages....

[David HK]

By the way, I may wander downtown area tomorrow in the afternoon, and park myself at a pub, in case anyone would like to come by and say hi!

By now it's apparently to me that we can't rely on 'someone else' to beat Cleveland (goes for KC nearly as much.) If we take good care of our owner business (including games against them) we will be fine. Lineups like tonight are the way to go. We may not sweep the Sox but a B team lineup would be disrespectful for the Fans, for the Sox, and for the Twins. Let's go.

I'll drink to that... Let's make their losing streak 20 in a row!

I've always disliked the White Sox even though an uncle I really like is a big fan.  He used to buy me baseball cards when I was a kid.

They did when last I was there

Scrabble, i presume...

 

(setting aside the proper noun restrictions... and assuming similar multiword or letter score squares and new cross words)

Fired up the old Xfinity box tonight and, yep, my cable package doesn't include Bally. Any good will this team has built with me over the last 40 years is dead. Time to choose a new team (and TV provider) that actually cares about its fans/customers.

[Parfigliano]

Now that Bally and the cable companies have decided to play nice are TC games watchable in TC Territory?

[Parfigliano]

Still dislike these city connect uni's and hats

White Sox could use some fans.

[Parfigliano]

Hahaha...1 guy starting with .700+ OPS and several in .400-500 range

Every thing.

That's probably because they are hideous looking!

It was only Xfinity customers that lost the games. Spectrum (which I have) wasn't affected.

Only if you upgrade your cable package. So my choices are the Savannah Bananas (I'd rather die), Red Sox/Rangers, Royals/Tigers, or Stink Town/Nationals.

 

So likely no baseball for me tonight. Again.
