    Oh, I'm not that hung up on 90 losses as compared to say, 89. I just don't want continued failure to be treated enthusiastically. And I don't think the Twins are doing that- my problem is just with Churchill. I'm reasonably optimistic about the future. I'm even more optimistic about today.
  2. big dog
    Sorry, but I'm not going to be feel enthusiastic or successful if the team lurchs through 3 or 4 more 90-loss seasons. Churchill probably wouldn't have enjoyed 12 consecutive lost battles in WW II either...
  3. big dog
    Yeah, although the "good" unexpected makes it worth a lot more than the "bad" unexpected.
  4. big dog
    Kendrys Morales for Stephen Pryor is looking like an awfully good trade right now.
  5. big dog
    The Tigers optioned last night's starter and Ian Krol to the minors and brought up two more lefty relievers. Fresh meat!
  6. big dog
    I bet the mods have been at a bar since 12-5...
  7. big dog
    Wow, Zuke has to be wondering what on earth happened to everyone except him tonight.
  8. big dog
    I wouldn't be surprised if Arcia gets buzzed inside tomorrow. Without the flag pole that one might well have gone over the gates into the street. So three batters, and it's double-homer-homer. You just know Eric Fryer wants a bat in his hands.
  9. big dog
    I'm just kind of sitting here in shock. Sixteen runs??? That's about four games worth. I hope we used up some of the ones we didn't get recently, instead of ones we would have gotten tomorrow.
  10. big dog
    I can't believe it's 10:19 and we are in the sixth inning. And we're actually the ones winning? Weird.
  11. big dog
    Hey Chi-town, have the moderators started talking about leaving early with the game in hand? Worse yet, are they talking about WAR?
  12. big dog
    And here comes Al Alburquerque. Maybe we'll get Nathan in the 8th. That would be fun. If we can get to a starter early in Game 1 tomorrow.....yowsah. We've batted around and a half!
  13. big dog
    The Tigers still have 3 relievers yet, but I think this guy might be in for a long night at this point. GO TWINS!!!!!
  14. big dog
    OK, two-run single, I'll take that.
  15. big dog
    Brad Ausmus must think he's Terry Francona with all this bullpen activity. I wonder if the Tigers are planning to send down 3 relievers tonight and replace them with AAA guys. Very, very relieved to have Dozier knock in a run there. Boy, how often do you see a guy make a great play to end an inning, then come up the next inning with the bases loaded? No wait, that's not how that goes. Never mind.
  16. big dog
    That was an incredible turn by Dozier on that double play. Holy crap. I guess at 6-1 that double play isn't nearly as exciting. Good thing we gave up 4 more and made it interesting!
  17. big dog
    Well, it's really three errors now, though they might rule it a hit. He laid back on that- he let it take a bad hop.
  18. big dog
    OK, that's two errors from our shortstop and two balls our centerfielder at least could have caught. I was hoping for at least 9 runs in the second inning. Come on, Milone, move somebody's feet a little bit.
  19. big dog
    Yeah, agreed- I didn't get that move at all. I was worried Millone was going to try and live on the outside corner all night, but he's changing location fairly well. Coming inside a little wouldn't hurt, though.
  20. big dog
    So you all had a pretty good view of that home run, huh? I bet the view of Hunter striking out was better yet.
  21. big dog
    Sounds like somebody wants to be challenged...
  22. big dog
    To answer your first question, I don't care too much about who gets in the playoffs. I will probably pay a little attention but won't have much invested. I need to hunker down, take a break after this looong season ends, reconnect with my family, and heal up from some in-season aches and pains. Then about January I'll start doing some real training, get in the cage, try and get ready for spring training. I may even start working with a nutritionist, try and make sure I can keep my energy up during next year's sure-to-be-successful season.

    I'm watching the Indians broadcast (one of the few positive things about being a Twins fan in the Chicago region). The infield hit wasn't all that close. Aviles was deep in the hole and tried to throw from his knees. He got nothing on the throw and the first baseman had to take a couple steps off the bag to catch it. Vargas would have beaten it even if it had been accurate. He definitely made it down the line faster than I thought he could. My self-imposed ban for jinxing Hughes is over. So far.
  24. big dog
    Yup, that's right. I jinxed it. Now banning myself.
  25. big dog
    Wait, we have a lead? We're WINNING??? I like this. Let's hope Hughesie can make one run hold up.
