For all our Twinkie scoreboard watching. Nobody wants to hand out in the AL Central thread with me.
Royals have the tying run on 2nd in the 8th.
Full Version: Twins Watch Thread 2008
Mark Teahen will hit bombs off us but goes down in the clutch to Reyes.
I like the idea here. I'm following the game on gameday. Royals can't deliver but they outhit the Twins already, I still like their chances.

4-1 now with Kubel still hitting with nobody on.
Game over.

Bases Loaded. 2 Out. Guillen up

And he does nothing.
Seems like KC looks good against us and no one else.
Michael Cuddyer broke a bone in his left foot while during a rehab assignment. Big break for the Sox as he is a pretty good bat.

Michael Cuddyer, who was rehabbing a finger injury in Triple-A on Friday night, broke a bone in his left foot when it was hit by a line drive and is now likely out for the season.
Cuddyer will have the foot placed in a protective boot today. The injury will sideline him for at least another four weeks, and since Cuddyer has already been out for five weeks it will take him some time to get back in the swing of things. Perhaps he can be ready if the Twins make the playoffs, but the odds of Cuddyer contributing are highly unlikely even if he beats the odds and does manage to get back into uniform.

That is a huge break for the Sox, however ... his replacement will probably do twice as good, damn Twins.
Denard Span has been a more than capable replacement for Cuddyer so not that big of a blow, only other guy he would replace is Gomez who seems to kill us despite his overall poor numbers.
Greinke crapping his pants early, runers on the corners nobody out top 1st inning. Get it together Zach.
It will be interesting to hear if Grienke's suspension is reduced. He drilled Delmon Young. Young hit a homer earlier in the game, and the batter before drilled a triple off the wall

Reduced or extended?
well, usually on appeals they are reduced. Im thinking he is not getting that reduction. he may get it extended..I dont know. But it seemed a bit odd to go out and drill a guy when you have an appeal not taken care of
7-3 MIN and KC has 2 guys on with 2 outs. 
Buck grounds out. S***.

There's no LOSS thread tonight, I think everyone is concerned because now Crede, Linebrink and now Jose are not available.
Tough times coming up.
If they hit .314 or whatever it is with RISP (the best number in like 40 years or whatever) the rest of the year, then we are going to lose the division. It's just as simple as that. It's tough to overcome a team setting record numbers like that. If that is the case, then hopefully we can compete for the Wild Card.

And deal with the crap I got last Sunday?
I was hoping so much that Young would charge the mound or throw a bat again (as long as he didn't injure anyone) and get a major suspension.
The Royals scored 2 in the 6th to tie it against the Twins, then they give a run right up so it's now 3-2 Twins.
Damn Twins...
Damn Royals...
Damn Red Sox...
Damn Sox pitching...

4-2 MIN w/bases loaded
First man on in the top of the 10th. Seems like the Twins can always manufacture a run with a runner on and no outs. Cmon Soria.
Hawk's boyfriend Gomez strikes out after Morneau strikes out and Mauer singles.
LET'S GO KC
And Young flies out.
LET'S GO KC
And Young flies out.
Beslow walks Teahen on 4 pitches.
Tony Pena Jr. is batting .148 this year and is 1 of 16 against the Twins. I wish Billy Butler was still in the game.
And what does he do, get a base hit. Winning run at 3rd. 1 out.
And he singled!
2nd and 3rd, 1 out for KC. Come on Gordon!
Come on, Gordon. Fly ball.
Strikes out.. Common ROSS.
We got you a ring, Gloady! Come on, brother!! 
can't get a hit.
Gload would of got a hit if he was facing us.
SOB
Goddam royals!!
Lamb at 2nd, 1 out. Harris, the double king, is coming up to bat. Watch the left field line please.
1st and 2nd, 2 outs, for Punto.
Maybe they can go 20 innings and use all their pitchers, so the Yankees can kill them at the dome.
Bot 11. come on Royals, get er done.
Punto, one of the original Piranhas, is really sucking. 0-6 with 4 strikeouts and 0 for his last 9 with 6 strikeouts.
Olivo singles, lead off man aboard.
Olivo singles, lead off man aboard.
Olivo pinch hits and gets on.
Picked off at 1st, close to a balk though.
Damn Royals.
Top of 12th, Mauer and Morneau up, Twins prolly gonna score one or two.
