    Nice to "see" you JB. You were missed.

    Rangers and Angels: Rangers are at home and need two to win the division. That means they win two. A 2-2 split gives Los Angeles 85 wins. That's exactly my prediction. No way do the Angels come into Texas and sweep. Anyway, count on LA with 85 wins, Texas 87 and the division. D-Backs and 'Stros: The Astros are a lousy road team. Arizona was surprising until September, but I don't know much about them. History says that teams out of the race usually lose to teams that have something to play for. But also, that this is much more pronounced when the team that is out of it is playing on the road. My verdict: The Astros win one of three, so a 4-0 finish for the Twins squeaks them into the wild card game. 3-1 nets a three-team playoff with the Twins drawing the short straw.

    Texas wins, Astros rallying.
  4. stringer bell
    Yup. And everyone knew the Twins wouldn't win their last nine or ten games. Now they need a comfy little four-gamer to make at least a Game 163.

    I've said it before and I'll say it again, give me Rosario's throwing over Hicks. Rosario charges better and throws quickly and accurately. Hicks has a cannon, but he's not as quick getting there and releasing the ball quickly. I'm not sold on the accuracy either.
  6. stringer bell
    Slow on the draw, two people beat me to it.
  7. stringer bell
    Go Zito! Oakland up 3-1 early on LAA.

    Hey, they only hit one ball hard. The thing about Pelfrey is not that he doesn't strike out guys, but he doesn't finish them off. Batters don't chase and they foul off a lot of pitches.

    So Gibson goes "only" six scoreless innings. Dave, I think you owe him about six months without criticism. What do you say, Dave?

    Hicks is my most improved. It shows how bad he was when this year's stats are considered so good. I still have questions whether he will ever hit enough to be a regular corner outfielder, but he has established that he can hit and field well enough to be a starting center fielder.

    To quote the late, great Yogi "it's deja vu all over again". Hopefully the results will be better than a week ago Saturday. But if they aren't maybe we'll see Buxton and Kepler in the outfield.
  12. stringer bell
    Good news! 6-0 gets the Twins (at least) to Game 163. Technically, the Twins control their own destiny.
  13. stringer bell
    Sano is already a fine player, but I don't think he's the MVP or Twins Rookie of the Year. My vote for MVP is Dozier, Rookie of the Year Rosario and Pitcher of the Year would be Gibson.
  14. stringer bell
    They added Cotts, as well, but I would have liked to have seen him here in July instead of August. I like the bullpen a ton more with May, Cotts and Jepsen in it.
  15. stringer bell
    I'd say the losses on Pub Crawl Saturday, particularly because I think the Angels will win the Wild Card or be the last team the Twins climb over. I was crawling so I didn't see all of the first game, but IIRC, the Angels scored all of their runs without hits.
  16. stringer bell
    The women would have a long trip to Venus, but most of us guys only have to go around the block.
  17. stringer bell
    Great point about the back end starters. Looking solely at ERA, here is the Twins rotation:Gibson 3.96, Milone 4.04, Pelfrey 4.09, Santana 4.10, Hughes 4.43. No dominant starter for the season, but no embarrassments either. I left Duffey and May off on purpose--too few innings, but they were both good (Duffey better than good) in their starts as well.
  18. stringer bell
    Schedule note: The Angels close with four at Texas. That is four more losses to be "shared" by two teams ahead of the Twins. Also it was written that the Astros won three straight on the road. Nope, they won last night-the other two wins were at home.
  19. stringer bell
    As Oakland was tying the game, so did the Mariners. 11:00 approaching, both west coast games are tied, Texas has lost.
  20. stringer bell
    Monday September 28: Texas down 7-1 in the 7th to Detroit. Houston up 2-1 to Seattle in the second. Angels down 1-0 against Oakland in the second. Twins 81-75, trail the Angels by half a game and Houston by a full game at this moment. Behind one game in the loss column to both.
  21. stringer bell
    I see 2016 as a free-for-all in the Central. The team the Twins beat tonight might be the team to beat next year.
  22. stringer bell
    Cleveland is basically dead. Now roll over the disappointed Tribe. Big win! Let's go Oakland, Seattle and Detroit (up 6-1 in the sixth)!
  23. stringer bell
    A little more than seven months to go.
  24. stringer bell
    Molitor is a genius!
  25. stringer bell
    Geez, I was kidding!
