stretchstretch Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 this team is the undisputed king of expect the unexpected: Angels at home with their best pitcher on the hill, looking like a AA rookie, the Twins who usually can't buy a win on the road lighting him up, and of course catching the Angels at a time while they're cold Sox coming off a red hot series, stay at home, with their best guy on the hill, against a very good team that lives, however off homecooking, and we looked plain aweful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I appreciate the optimism however I just cannot recall Twins losing games they need to win while they are in a Pennant race. This reminds me so much of 2006 where they didn't lose since May no matter what (even on the road) it's sickening P.S. 5-0 Twins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MexSoxFan#1 Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 I remember all my fellow sox fans talking about how it was the end of our team back in 05 when the tribe cut our once huge division lead to a half game with about 15 games left and the sox got in a late season run and swept them at their house,how likely did that seem back then???Not saying it s gonna happen like that again this year but s that s what so great about baseball,you never know!!

And we have BOS and NYY at their place. This isn't good. I am tempted to say we're done but that's just the pessimist in me...I am SO SICK of the same old story with the Twins. It would be different if you knew they weren't going to be swept in the playoffs, but they don't even have a chance, and you know the White Sox teams would be more suited for this type of play....oh well....
