    I'll agree. We'll take it. Bux did put some mustard on that ball though.
  2. bighat
    Buxton's flipped the switch back to "on" the last couple days! Woohoo!
  3. bighat
    Ruh-roh.

    Agreed. They say something like "nobody's done this before" or whatever as the boat pulls away. Not sure what it's about.

    Keenum looked absolutely awful - and judging by his history, he's been pretty awful for most teams he's played for in the past, too. The Vikes have no chance with Keenum at the helm. Not sure if they should trash the season just yet, but geee whiz what a bummer. What gives, Bradford? You're just fine the first game, tossing TDs, then your knee gets sore after the game and you're out for a month? I don't get it! Too bad about ole' Teddy B, eh?

    Just keep winning. Molly needs to showcase his managing chops tonight and do what he did last night - yank a pitcher who is in danger of melting down!

    Angels play 4 games against the White Sox beginning next week, at the same time the Twins will have 3 against Cleveland. That's a dangerous stretch. Liked how Molly freaked at signs of disaster yesterday with Mejia and pulled 'em. This is essentially playoff baseball at this point, wins are more important that building character right now. Don't take the Tigers lightly, they lead our season series 7-6 right now and can beat the Twins on a given day. Just win. Looks like the Twins are going to have to hit their way into the playoffs, scoring 12 last night was a good start.

    For as frustrating as it's been for Twins fans the past few days, the Angels fans have to be pretty peeved watching their team struggle to take advantage of the huge door the Twins opened while in NYC.

    Twins are pretty much in "must win" mode. Mejia hasn't earned himself much of a leash, given his recent history. With a lead on the road, it appears Molly's going for the win today, and will worry about tomorrow...tomorrow.

    Escobar cost us a run by fouling out with the bases loaded and 1 out. Absosmurfly amazing how many of those gimme runs this team refuses to take. They don't have the ability to make "good outs".

    "The Twins are cursed!" "The Twins just can't beat the Yankees!" No. The Twins can't beat good teams and are a very average squad. It's not the Yankee curse, it's just that this team can't hit lefties and has trouble with good pitching in general. Red Sox, Astros, Dodgers, Yankees, Indians...you name it, they all pretty much routinely crush the Twins with ease. The Twins have kept in the hunt this year by beating up on bad teams, and catching good teams (ie: Milwaukee, KC) during bad stretches. They will need to continue that against Detroit immediately. Demoralizing sweep, demoralizing series, just a gut punch and a big middle finger to the fans given to everyone by the listless and drifting Twins. Had 2 of our best 3 pitchers going this series and got swept. Now what, we have to rely on Mejia and Gibson (who pitches best with 10 runs of support) to get us back on track? Yikes.

    7 games against Detroit left. 7 games against Detroit left. Keep repeating that mantra. That said, hasn't Detroit kind of battered the Twins this year? I know it would hurt to play a WC game in the Bronx....but can we please stop pretending that making the playoffs is just a bonus to a nice lil' year? Please Twins, don't blow this. Not now. Not after the white flag trade, the comeback, the Buxton emergence, and holding the WC lead for so darn long here. Sneak out of NYC with a win today, and don't look back. A sweep at this time of year is just killer.

    Yanks teeing off on Pressley here. Doors look ready to come off.

    They've been doing it all year, in bunches. They had the bases loaded with 0 outs in the 1st, don't forget. That was the real chance the Twins had to take this game. Coming out of that inning with a 1-0 lead was the death knell. Wanna beat the Twins? Put a decent lefty out on the mound. Game set match.

    I get a bit edgy too about this stuff. My friends think I'm a crazy conspiracy theorist and laugh when I say stuff like this. But there might be something to it. The umps aren't willing to risk making bad calls against the Yankees. So instead of risk calling a borderline pitch a strike, they call it a ball. They sleep better at night knowing their calls didn't hurt Big Baseball.

    Joe struck out with the bases loaded and 1 out last night too. Rough series for Joseph Mauer of St. Paul.
  17. bighat
    Gwwwuaaaaaaagh! Say it ain't so, Joe!!!!
  18. bighat
    When you're in a jam with the wild card on the line, turn to....Buddy Boshers?
  19. bighat
    Big stretch for a silver lining! Props to your creative optimism!
  20. bighat
    If this score stays this way, there's no coming back in the 9th off that fireball lefty. This is a 3-inning game at this point.
  21. bighat
    Yanks lead. Darn it, Berrios and darn it, wild pitch by Busewitcz.
  22. bighat
    Berrios really flying open and missing that outside edge almost every time, sheesh. C'mon kid, throw strikes.
  23. bighat
    Keplah!
  24. bighat
    Gardner is the Yankee version of Josh Donaldson. The guy just kills us.
  25. bighat
    This ump is squeezing the heck out of Berrios here. Ump star-struck in NYC?
