I know it didn't matter in the scheme of things that inning, but Omar running home on that grounder was terrible baseball.

That was a pathetic excuse for an AB by AJP. He lost his focus after the first strike call. Also, Konerko was too busy trying to hit the ball to the right side, and then he pulled that crap of pulling the ball to 3rd. We should be up 4 or 5 to nothing right now, but our hitting with RISP has been awful today.

That Kotsay AB could end up being the turning point. Also, be nice for Juan to start getting hits again.

What in the heck was Rios swinging at? You never see someone chase a fastball in the dirt as badly as that.

Those last two pitches by Sale have been strikes all game for Lackey.

QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Sep 5, 2010 -> 12:43 AM) Beckham having a game to forget. What has he done?

A RHP with a good offspeed pitch should never allow Bill Hall to get hits. We cannot afford to keep walking bottom of the order hitters.

This Twins lineup is brutal (compared to what they normally have). However, they just find ways to keep winning.

Great job by pitching staff today! Let's not settle for one win though.

Inexcusable...once again, way too many outs given to opposition.

QUOTE (Mr. Showtime @ Sep 4, 2010 -> 08:43 PM) I'm guessing Bobby in the 9th, and I'm not sure if I like that or not. I guess now that you have got past Beltre and Oritz it should be ok. We could be facing a LLWS team, and it would still be scary. Great inning for Santos!

QUOTE (chw42 @ Sep 4, 2010 -> 07:53 PM) Way too many DPs. Rios has killed so many rallies the last two months. If anything, let him bat 2nd and put Pierre in motion if he gets on.

Gonna need a few more runs...nice job of chasing Bucholz!

Seems like we've been walking way too many #8/9 hitters as of late.

Q gets to be in the lineup against Lackey, a pitcher that I know he hit two bombs in one game against.

What I want to know about Borbon's single to right that Repko threw out the runner on was why wasn't Repko playing deep in "no doubles position"? Every other team in baseball would have their outfielders playing no doubles there.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Sep 4, 2010 -> 03:44 AM) Is there any doubt anymore than the Twins are going to win the Central? They just find ways to win. Where we do the exact opposite (unless we knock the ball outta the park). Gardenhire has done a brilliant job with that team considering the injuries.

I've never seen a team win more games that they were outplayed in than the Twins since the ASB. That's at least 5 games they've won that they had no business winning. I hate that team and that boring ass ballpark.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Sep 4, 2010 -> 03:41 AM) Unf***ingbelievable. Alex Cora vs Mark Kotsay would be a good running contest

Twins win...absolutely crushing win for them considering how much they were outplayed. Hey Rangers, that's why you don't play everyone on the warning track.

You have to be kidding me...Jason Repko's defense continues to help the Twins win games. Also, Rangers have got to have someone faster than Cora on their bench.

Bears waive Iglesias....someone remind me how Angelo still has a job?

QUOTE (Friend of Nordhagen @ Sep 4, 2010 -> 03:32 AM) MLB Gameday says Josh Hamilton left the game with a back problem. So, maybe he could be out the rest of the series? Awesome. Lower back spasms, considering he was going to sit on Sunday, it seems likely he's out the rest of the series.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Sep 4, 2010 -> 03:28 AM) sometimes i just wanna puke at how they win these games Twins have hit one ball hard this entire game. Rangers could have scored 4-5 runs in the first few innings if not for the Twins defense.

Capps continues to be a godsend for the Twins. Twins still lead 4-3 afer top of 8th is over
