    Every pitcher should wear Gibson's jersey and number from now on. It seems that makes the batters score runs. We dropped a game to the Yankees during this series. But we can still sweep in NY and be within 1 game of home field for the wild card game. Plus, we are up 2-1 on the season series for a tie-breaker. Then on to sweeping Cleveland, who are due for some losses. Positive waves, man.

    Hey.... I can't stand Colon getting starts at all! I was screaming for his exit after 5, before he was left in to give up the second solo homer. When it was 3-1. You are pressing your luck to even start him. If you get 5 and have a 2 run lead, it is a total no brainer to get him the hell out of there. Wins are really up to the offense with this team and their pitching. The goal should be to score 5, and hope.

    Garver one voter from unanimous first place votes. One spoiler.

    I have no idea what that even means......

    Well I don't. Not right then. I want to watch them celebrate, and not have to listen to some blow hard announcer/interviewer ask the same redundant questions that have the same cliche answers. It always looks like the young player is totally uncomfortable, and usually it is all wound up and repeating themselves and isn't enjoying being put on the spot. " Well, I saw the pitch, and I swung at it, and got the barrel of the bat on the ball, and it went out. I was just looking for something to get a good swing on." It is uncomfortable for them, and I feel that. And the announcer is usually lame, and wanting/needing attention, trying so hard to make the question of "tell us what happened" sound different. I feel that too. But maybe I am not the typical fan. But that is what I think. It is a relatively new thing, in the last several years. Putting them on the PA and all. Play the damn Twins song and all sing together. Show the highlights. Dance. Shut the damn PA off. It's not about getting off my lawn, or anything condescending and grumpy. I miss the sounds of baseball, and dislike the ever increasing desire of the admins to shove all that incessant loud volume from the PA at us in the form of advertisements, promotions, etc.

    They really need to stop this stuff of interviewing the players on the stadium PA after the game. It really is lame.

    Hey..... it was only 0-1. Does that make it OK?
  8. h2oface
    All three pitches to Joe, right down the middle of the zone. Some would call those mistakes. They seem to be when our pitchers throw pitches there.

    To be fair, we haven't had a closer all year. If Kintzler was a closer, he would be closing for the Nats. Belisle certainly isn't one either.
  10. h2oface
    Well, it may. Here's to hoping for continued win one lose one...... win one.

    Now 6-6 in September, and all against teams with losing records when we entered the series. Gonna have to do better now, even if 6 are against playoff teams.
  12. h2oface
    As we celebrate this great victory tonight, I see that our Twins are 6-6 in September. This is all against teams with sub .500 records. I hope the boys can bear down and the manager can field the best team and not worry about checking out prospects for next year. Coming up - 6 of the remaining 17 games are against the Yankees (3 games at Yankee Stadium, and now 3 games back of the first wild card and home field, and in case of a tie, we lead the season series 2-1) and 3 on the road against Cleveland! After the upcoming 4 game series against Toronto at home, 10 games on the road. We have not taken advantage of gaining ground on .500 against losing teams. It will be imperative to be more than a .500 team to close out the schedule.

    I get that it's not prospects. But Tonkin has spent multiple years in the show for some time. I think that would disqualify him more than all the others. Thanks for the (non?) clarification, though. Fuzzzy voting, I get it, now. Thanks for the reply.
  14. h2oface
    I don't quite understand how Tonkin can be considered, especially since he had spent so much time in the show. He certainly has as many, and without looking it up, I would say more innings in the majors than Hildenberger. So I am not saying either shouldn't be considered, but I don't understand what disqualifies someone from your award. Busenitz has been wonderful in his appearances in the show, Curtiss pretty awful (and I see that two of the voters didn't even have him in their top 5, and Cody Christie didn't have Curtiss or Anderson in his top 5), and Wimmers, Rucinski, and Turley, also saw time up, but were still in the mix. What was the line drawn that made someone ineligible? And congrats to your winner, Curtiss.

    Moya is either not set, or he is set several times. There is really no difference and enough time still.
  16. h2oface
    And we play the White Sox and Tigers 38 times a year (almost equal won-loss records as the Giants and Padres) and are only 5 games above .500 and the Diamondbacks are 22. So what's your point? That this means nothing? Mybe not, but it is to our credit that we beat the Diamondbacks, who just swept the Dodgers, twice. I certainly to not underestimate the Diamondbacks, at this point, and the Padres have been doing OK lately, and it is again to the Twins credit that they are pouncing on this team. And....... I remember the KC series with the 17-0 win in the middle of two losses.
  17. h2oface
    Garver..... I call Garver going yard in the 8th.
  18. h2oface
    idk, I guess one should just discount that they are 83-61 overall.
  19. h2oface
    Tonkin looks like a tall Opie Taylor with a beard.
  20. h2oface
    This is the same Padres that just took 2 of 3 from Arizona, and swept the Dodgers, who swept us..... but then, everyone is sweeping them now.
  21. h2oface
    or .... french fries.
  22. h2oface
    Or keep him on rhythm, confident, and strong.
  23. h2oface
    And Cleveland with a massive need not to have him pitch the innings. Good for Francona. I hope Molitor pays notice.
  24. h2oface
    All that time Perkins had to get himself in shape, and he looks softer and 20 lbs heavier.
  25. h2oface
    Gibson in total control, with a low pitch count, and gets no chance to pitch a shutout. I get it, and why, with all the pitchers there is to take a look at, but it still blows. And as a die hard Gibson supporter, never giving up on him, I say for him once more to all those that did and have..... while I have the opportunity...... "Bite Me"!
