wow did that Getz error really hurt. I know Linebrink needs to over come that, but they scored 4 runs on 2 outs.

might as well let Wise try to steal.

2 outs.

it always looks like Dye is just jogging down the line. now Wise is in. We're losing bench players.

haha it's been 8 years since Dye has successfully laid a sac bunt.

way to start it off Alexei!

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 18, 2009 -> 03:34 PM) Were the homers cheap or crushed? Oh, and it's a good thing we completely wasted Thome in the 8th. Ozzie's addiction to R/R and L/L match-ups is killing us today. Lee's just made the basket. I forgot what Soto's was like, I was just extremely pissed.

what the hell?

Damnit. Bring in Jenks.

gotta get an out here.

0-5 Podsednik? You're terrible!!!!!!!!! haha

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 18, 2009 -> 03:14 PM) IBB? Thome was announced as a pinch hitter and the Cubs went to the bullpen to bring in a lefty, so Guillen brought Fields to the plate and now he walked.

I guess Thome is done before his day even started.

the rookies putting it together.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Jun 18, 2009 -> 01:47 PM) I might get some resistance for saying this, but I think Morneau is really overrated, and his name has become bigger than he is. The guy is very good, definitely All-Star caliber, but not MVP caliber, probably not even great. Aside from the fact that they bat together in the lineup, I have no idea why he is mentioned in the same breath as Mauer, and as an MVP candidate all the time. He put up an offseason pretty comparable to Dye last year... Dye wasn't in MVP talks for some reason, yet Morneau was the runner-up, WTF? People were talking about how Morneau carried the Twins last year, but he faded in September. Dye did the exact same thing except his team actually made the playoffs. I really didn't see what he did last year to get all that credit. I guess he benefits from being one of the two only real threats in the Twins lineup, and people always saying "Mauer and Morneau" when they talk about the Twins. But they aren't in the same stratosphere IMO. I've been thinking the same thing about Morneau. I would've been extremely angered had he gotten a second MVP. I didn't think he deserved the 2006 MVP. I thought Jeter deserved the MVP in 2006 and I think he's somewhat overrated.

Woohoo Alexei!

there's the DP

not sure how Bradley's ball 2 wasn't a strike, this sucks now. Come on Gavin.

Joe Mauer is hitting .520 on turf and "only" .346 on grass. I'm one of the people who believes the Metrodome enhances batting averages for the Twins. While I think Mauer is one of, if not the best hitter in the league. I also think this might be his best shot at .400 because this is the last year of the Metrodome.

I hate the Twins and Indians more than I hate the Cubs. But I do hate the Cubs.

Good to see, milk would've came out of my nose while I was dying of laughter if someone a month ago would've told me this was going to happen.
