The Twins are destined to find a date with the Yankees in the playoffs. So however that happens, that is what is going to happen. We can't change destiny.

Magic number down to 4. It'll be tough to do. 2012 collapse level bad. 

Just don’t have much confidence in Sox finding a way to beat Bieber, Plesac and Darvish.  Hopefully we get Lester and Q this weekend.

I'd take Engel or Sanchez as DH over EE at this point.

If they're so obsessed with Mazara they could always DH him and put Engel or Dyson in RF

Better to get the slump out of the way now than to have it in a couple weeks.

Hopefully Q put in taking a dive for a bonus in his already drawn up contract.

It seems like we have posters who will turn off game 1 of the World Series if we give up a leadoff single. LOL. You read some game threads that the score is 0-0 and you feel like we're down 10. It's at least a fun read.

I remember when we were 10-11 and had no idea where the team was going. It wasn't looking great. Now we've clinched a playoff spot and people are losing their mind.

Sure Mazara and Edwin stink. And we have some problems with pitching, especially with the injuries to Marshall and Bummer, but if a couple guys can get out of their slump, we can beat anyone.

And Eloy is hurt 

Eloy hurt.  Fuck. 

This is the game from hell

You’re too new around here to have acquired Post Traumatic Sox Disorder. Thank you for the reassurance. I need it and hate being a part of the negative Nancy crowd, even if it’s just for a game or series.

Your welcome! I like to stay positive! Better yet, what helps is to not watch the games until they start winning again. Sometimes you set yourself up for disappointment if they lose a couple and than when they get on a streak again. Bam! 

I dont think he'd be walking if it was his Achilles, no?

Fuck

It was 4 yesterday and 4 today and it will be 4 before the games tomorrow. Hopefully the Tigers give us some help because I don't have faith in ReyLo tomorrow or the Sox against Bieber and Plesac the next two games. 

i think he stubbed his toe. 

He might have hurt his heel/achilles.

Please don't scare me like that Eloy!

I think he’s ok, just landed hard on the bag

You gotta take him out after that. Don't care what he says.

Eloy staying in.  Jogged decently to 2nd after being in real pain.

Hopefully nothing bad. Never try to stretch the last step to the bag that is dangerous, much better to make a short extra step

Why do so many major leaguers struggle with running to first... sheesh.

That's not how it works.

They took out timmy for the same thing yesterday when he wanted to stay in. Surprised not here but I guess they feel they have to go for it tonight.

That negates his only positive, the fact he owns a glove.

Rather have Eloy DH and platoon LF.

Seems to be ok
