    Perkins stuff looked pretty good. As far as the emotion and attitude, it's a long season and a pennant race. The emotions are pretty raw. Look at Dozier and Plouffe, Both seem like nice guys, but have shown frustration on the field.

    Here's some baseball thoughts after the game: I like a bullpen with Cotts, Fien and Boyer in the middle and Perkins, May, and Jepsen at the end. Cleveland is just about done. They are behind three teams by three games or more. I hope the Twins can take advantage of an emotional letdown tomorrow and next week. Dozier's oppo homer was huge. Escobar's 2-run single equally as big. Hughes performance was pretty good. He'll probably get two more chances. I just about gave up all hope after Saturday, but I'm starting to believe again.

    Don't make this like Milone vs.the Angels.

    Still hate to leave the bases juiced, but a real nice inning.
  5. stringer bell
    Esco!

    But oh! Those cheekbones!

    Here's a look at the schedules of the teams in the hunt for the wild card and Western Division: Texas: At Oakland tonight and tomorrow afternoon. Next at Astros for the weekend, then three at home with Detroit followed by four against the LA Angels. Houston: Off tomorrow, then play Texas at home for three, then on the road at Seattle for three and at Arizona for three to close out the season. Angels: Home for three with the Mariners, then home for three with the Athletics, finish the season on the road for four at Texas. I think I am becoming a big Texas Rangers fan! Unless they are swept by the Astros, they will go home in first place against a last-place Tigers team, then face off against the Angels. I think the Astros are in trouble. They only have three more home games and they are 15 below .500 on the road. If they aren't leading after the Texas series, I think the Twins can catch them.

    Angels-Astros matinee going on now. It is the top of the ninth and the Angels lead 6-4. A win for LA puts them in a tie with the Twins, and leaves Houston only a game and a half ahead. Edit: Game Over. Angels win 6-5. The Twins are indeed 1.5 out of the wild card and again tied in the loss column. Angels in a virtual tie have played two more games, one win and one loss.

    Pelfrey did hold the Angels scoreless for five last outing. While he got nicked for three in the sixth, I think "five and fly" might work for him. I hope the shoulder fatigue that Milone suffered is gone, and also hope that it occurred before his last two ineffective outings. He's a good pitcher, but it seems he needs to be 100%.

    I don't think Kluber is any better than Sale. The Twins owned Sale this year, so logically, they should also own Kluber, at least for one start. I wonder is the ambush approach might work. See a fastball early in the count and swing, don't let the count get to two strikes.

    Four game series in Cleveland before returning home to face KC for three. Agree that Cleveland would be out with a sweep this week.
  12. stringer bell
    I wish he'd look into the camera.
  13. stringer bell
    Rubio might be the GOP's best hope. I don't know, but I think Bush has baggage and Fiorina just doesn't hold up to scrutiny.
  14. stringer bell
    Rangers score two (I almost said "drop a deuce") in the fifth to close to 4-3, bottom 5.
  15. stringer bell
    Well, no. Bert was pitching for the Rangers then and he had left Minnesota firing double barreled one-finger salutes to the few fans left in the stands for Twins' games. My daughter was born that day and I got home just in time to hear it mentioned that Bert had pitched a no-hitter.
  16. stringer bell
    Cleveland's top three hitters went 1-11 with an ill-advised sacrifice bunt, while the top three Twins hitters were 5-11 with two walks, two doubles, a triple , two runs scored and two RBI.
  17. stringer bell
    4-3 Angels going to the ninth. 4-1 Athletics in the third. I'm tempted to say "keep it up boys".
  18. stringer bell
    I started a thread for this.
  19. stringer bell
    Angels score one in the eighth to go up , 4-2. Astros threatening in the bottom of the eighth 2-on one out. Athletics up 3-1 on the Rangers in the early going.
  20. stringer bell
    On the 38th anniversary of Bert's no-hitter, the Twins win to stay alive in the wild card race. It also happens to be the 38th anniversary of my oldest child's birth.
  21. stringer bell
    Perkins pitches to contact and escapes the 8th.
  22. stringer bell
    Plouffe apparently saw a couple, one too many.
  23. stringer bell
    Jeff Manship has a 1.06 ERA? Cleveland's pitching coach needs a raise.
  24. stringer bell
    Very nice seven innings from Santana. 100 pitches on the button. May in the eighth?
  25. stringer bell
    Stros scored a couple. Down 3-2 in the sixth. Twins lead 3-1 in the bottom of the sixth.
