July 23, 200421 yr s***, they just keep rolling along. I feel a little better when I compare schedules, but this could be a fight all the way.
July 23, 200421 yr Over the next month, they will go away. They are finally playing some teams over .500(Besides us and we know how that has went!).
July 23, 200421 yr They go away when we play up to full potential and widen the gap...not so much them going away as us pulling away, i guess.
July 23, 200421 yr They aren't going away, this race will go down to the final week of the season. Santana and Radke have been lights out lately, if they can keep pitching like that, and they acquire Benson, that's quite a rotation they've got.
July 23, 200421 yr The Twins will go away when we sweep the Tigers out of Chicago and do the same to the Twins next week.
July 23, 200421 yr Author What do you consider their weak spot? Confidence and knowing how to win seem like the intangibles that I have to give them the edge.
July 23, 200421 yr What do you consider their weak spot? Confidence and knowing how to win seem like the intangibles that I have to give them the edge. Lack of a real run producer in the middle of the lineup, the back end of their rotation ain't too grand either.
July 23, 200421 yr Lack of a real run producer in the middle of the lineup, the back end of their rotation ain't too grand either. Outside of Nathan the bullpen is young and erratic.
July 23, 200421 yr Outside of Nathan the bullpen is young and erratic. Joe Nathan's been a godsend to them, but the rest of their bullpen has been overworked, and it'll show in the next few months.
July 23, 200421 yr Joe Nathan's been a godsend to them, but the rest of their bullpen has been overworked, and it'll show in the next few months. Yeah, Juan Rincon gave up the granny to Rocco yesterday, I wonder if he has been overworked because he has looked so good against us.
July 23, 200421 yr The twins aren't going to go away.....they may slowly lose ground, but they'll still be relatively in it in september. You guys seem to think the twins have the '2003 white sox' mentality.....they don't, these are the twins, the little pesky b****es called the twins.
July 23, 200421 yr If I'm not mistaking, Buehrle, Garcia, and Loaiza will go against the Twinkies for the 26-28
July 23, 200421 yr If I'm not mistaking, Buehrle, Garcia, and Loaiza will go against the Twinkies for the 26-28 If you're right, then it looks like we'll take 2 of 3! Loaiza........OUT!
July 23, 200421 yr If you're right, then it looks like we'll take 2 of 3! Loaiza........OUT! Well, a lot of people mention Buehrle, Garcia, and Loaiza our three Aces, which is pretty good. If Esteban can treat us to a good performance tonight, he better do the same in Minnesota. We swept the Twinkies last time (Buehrle, Garcia, Garland) so let’s do it again!
July 23, 200421 yr I bet KW will be gauging ELo and Garland vs Det and Minny before the trade deadline to see if he needs to make a move.
July 23, 200421 yr I bet KW will be gauging ELo and Garland vs Det and Minny before the trade deadline to see if he needs to make a move. Garland hasn't been the problem. Granted, his last start wasn't great, but he only gave up four runs, in what, six or seven IP? And, against the Rangers too - that's pretty good for your number 3/4. Loaiza really, really needs to go get those Tigers tonight - he cannot have a let down tonight.
July 23, 200421 yr Exactly Garland has been all i've expected of him. I think some people have this unrealistic expectation of Jon where he has too be a 20 game winner and dominate every start.
July 23, 200421 yr Lack of a real run producer in the middle of the lineup, the back end of their rotation ain't too grand either. If the Twins were to wise up and bench Dougie Baseball and Corey Koskie for the rest of the season and start Justin Morneau and Michael Cuddyear they will start producing more runs.
July 23, 200421 yr If Santana and Nathan keep performing like this, the twins will be there until the very end. book it, danno
July 23, 200421 yr If Santana and Nathan keep performing like this, the twins will be there until the very end. book it, danno But the other side of that coin is if Garcia, Buehrle and Shingo keep pitching the way they are, it won't matter...
July 23, 200421 yr If Santana and Nathan keep performing like this, the twins will be there until the very end. book it, danno Santana only pitches 1/5 games, that doesn't guarantee them anything.
