Twins Win

QUOTE(jackie hayes @ Jul 4, 2006 -> 12:06 PM) Why would you wish us luck? I'm hoping you guys crash and burn, myself. And the Kitties. But I do hope you have a lovely day. As for Liriano, well...yeah. Was anyone questioning that? I was wishing you luck because I was just being nice. I'm not going to get too excited about the way the Twins have played until they're about 2 games back.

I would just like to make a couple points. Every forum including the Twins one I'm active in has negative posters. There are even some negative now about the Twins and Mauer over there. The Twins are not the same team they were at the beginning. Personally I thought Liriano should have started at the beginning of the season and that Kubel should have also been a starter for my beloved Twins at the start of the season. There have also been other changes. I really don't see them falling apart. They started this streak with a sweep of the Red Sox. Yes they did play a lot of games with the crappy NL Central but if you look at most of those scores the games were not close. As for Liriano. I've followed this kid pretty heavily since last season. Myself along with a lot of other people believe that he is the best pitcher on the Twin's staff. Read comments about him from batters after the game. They're unable to pickup his pitches, they all look the same. The true test will come when he starts facing teams for the second time. Then we'll see just how good this kid is. He leads the ML in era with a 1.99 era. It doesn't get much better than that. With that all being said, I'm looking forward to an exciting finish in this division. July 24-26 will be a fun series and I personally can't wait. Until then good luck to the Sox.

They started rolling with a sweep of the Red Sox. I just hope they can still get back in it. They dug themselves a huge hole at the beginning of the season.
