If Maggs homers here, then Koch can pitch the ninth nothing less

yes, it certainly did this team started gaining altitude when they finally quit waiting for Koch to get the job done as the closer the bats coming alive certainly helped but going to Damaso and Gordon as the closer was the key move this season.

one other thing: The Twins pounded Koch in the final game of the AL division series last year. Minny had a small lead. Koch made it a big lead -- and cost Oakland the game after the As rallied in the ninth NO KOCH

koch might come in, but i think it would be a mistake if he comes in and gives up his usual walk and two line drives, it gives the Twins some momentum to carry in to tomorrow. then you still have to use the pen. plus, I still haven't shaken that image of Carl Crawford out of my mind flashes back every time the man takes the mound

Grandpa Orosco in for the Twinkies Frank Viola and Kevin Tapani warming up

Royals lose thank you Jody Gerut and Friends

WHEW

relievers who walk the bases loaded are not of much value throw strikes cuddyer to hit against Schoeneweis

let's not let these guys have any reason for optimism

Jerry manuel would like to keep his job Koch and Paniaqua might come in if we are 6 down, but not 6 up against the team we have to beat

Schoeneweis should be able to handle the final four outs we're going to need him the final 19 days, too plus, he has post-season experience

Thank you Tribe ain't CC pitching tomorrow? also need the Tribe to smack the Twinkies once or twice this weekend they're capable

sully is going to pitch this inning Schoeneweis might pitch the ninth

this is no time to jack around nail this game down and keep pounding you don't want to let the Twinkies have even a whiff of fresh air. got them down, keep them down. no bullpen mysteries or high-wire acts not in this series case closed

let sully pitch the entire 8th he can handle it two righties and a lefty

let's dial up the message a little louder to the Twinkie staff this ain't 2002 or 2001

LIKE THAT!!!!!!!!! the bats are heating up -- just at the right time

Caballo with a chance for the KO

that's the fastest I've seen Frank motor in five years frank wants to get to October

i think they're using Graff more because he's been really effective against left-handed pitchers and has done a good job hitting leadoff Manuel likes to keep Graff sharp

Balfour in, I believe Also believe he's been wild

Maggs can deliver the KO Let's do it

straighten it Frank -- like you did in July

PRIME TIME ROBBIE TAKE THAT NEW YORK POST!!!!!!!!!!!!!

gotta hold 'em
