This is not a good lineup we have to face him tonight.

 

Not much else you can do. My biggest problem is seeing Cintron batting right handed.

Another changeup hit hard.

If he keeps this type of development up, him and Mauer are going to be an amazing 3-4 hitters for the next 10 years. Also, if you want to know why the Twins are rolling, look no farther than their 1-2 hitters right now. Those guys have been getting on base at tremendous rates lately.

1-2 guys won't be able to keep getting on base at that rate...but Mauer and Morneau will continue to rake.

Randy's thrown 58

 

That's not good.

 

HR for Melky Cabrera. You know, it's kind of funny. The Yankees are supposed to have no depth because of their gigantic payroll, but they lost two OF's and hardly lost a step. If even one of our OF's went down, we'd be absolutely screwed.

 

Also, the Yankees really have an idea of what they're doing with the bats. You'd think the Yankees would be the HR-or-nothing team, but that's us.

Another changeup hit hard.

Nothing new. Every hard hit ball has been a high changeup.

We're...uh...we're not good at building on momentum.

 

How many times this year have we said, "that win is going to spark the team," or something like that?

 

I keep going back to that thought....

I'm so impressed with the Yankees. They definitely go about offense the right way. IF, and I know it's a big if, they get Matsui and Sheffield back healthy, I think they're going to win the WS.

I've been saying this for 3 years now, but for a sinker ball pitcher, Garland gets hurt far too often with his changeup.

I'm willing to bet that they don't.

this umpire crew is a friggin joke

We must walk or give up more hits to guys with 0-2 or 1-2 counts than any team in baseball.

thanks hawk. good teams overcome things like that

this is a dangerous inning - would love to see a sinker for a DP right here

 

thanks hawk. good teams overcome things like that

whatever

thanks hawk. good teams overcome things like that

Yep, this team isn't good at all. They SUCK.

No, good teams get calls. Just ask the Yanks

It feels like it but I'm sure the cellar dwellers have us beat in that department.

I am still not that overly impressed with their pitching though. Bullpen is relatively weak minus Rivera and their rotation is not that strong either. Not that the Sox pitching has been great but I would still take our staff over the Yanks.

Ask the Sox, almost all of them were on a good team last year.

Ugh...I just realized that the Twins play Toronto in a 4 game series, and they're not going to have to face Halladay.

They are awful. Last night was bad and tonight isn't looking much better from the umps.

This guy is a damn good hitter.

Ouch...that hurts.

nice call

Cue that music from Sonic the Hedgehog when you die.
