July 28, 201015 yr Mr. HGH cuts it to a 5-4 lead, but Brayan Pena (who?) can't keep the rally going. On to the 9th

July 28, 201015 yr I havent heard much about Hudson since he went on the DL. It was kind of a freak thing where he swung and then grasped his side. When he has been in the lineup, hes been good, and defense seems to be as advertised
July 28, 201015 yr QUOTE (chw42 @ Jul 28, 2010 -> 03:41 PM) Rick Ankiel's back? You know it! They called him up from his rehab stint right about the same time that they announced HGH testing in the minors.
July 28, 201015 yr QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jul 28, 2010 -> 04:30 PM) The Twins lineup really, really scares me. We were saying the same thing back in April and May. Every team goes through the motions. There were times where the Twins offense looked like ours.
July 28, 201015 yr The Twins lineup is currently 5th in the AL in runs. The Sox are 8th and probably would be 7th if the Angels hadn't played 4 more games than us. They're a good lineup, but they're by no means putting up an awe-inspiring season like I thought they could.

If he goes 2009 the rest of the way it could be curtains. Edited July 28, 201015 yr by Jordan4life

The Sox are 8th and probably would be 7th if the Angels hadn't played 4 more games than us. They're a good lineup, but they're by no means putting up an awe-inspiring season like I thought they could. There are doing this with Morneau on the DL mostly this month, Hudson missing time on the DL, Punto/Hardy's .366 OBP vs lefties on the DL at one time, and about a 40% Joe Mauer since May. Their line-up is legit. Young is having an incredible year, and I don't expect that to last, but Kubel and Span are having down years for their perspectives. They need a 3B though.. but the way Valencia is hitting, they might be even more dangerous and don't need to trade to get one. Their pitching is what I never would have thought would be this good. (though I told wite a while back Liriano was going to be very good or "back" this year) Thank god Joe Nathan is gone for the season. Rauch would have made for an excellent set-up man (or a solid MR in the 7th inning to turn to Guerrier). Edited July 28, 201015 yr by J.Reedfan8

If he goes 2009 the rest of the way it could be curtains. Everyone has down years. Let's hope this is his and he stays there without Morneau's protection.
July 29, 201015 yr QUOTE (Benchwarmerjim @ Jul 28, 2010 -> 03:20 PM) wow, for some reason I thought the Sox played the O's during that month were you won 40 games Punto just left the game, sound like a pulled hamstring That's only bad for the Twins if he is out against the Sox...
July 29, 201015 yr QUOTE (Swingandalongonetoleft @ Jul 28, 2010 -> 06:30 PM) Tigers got Jhonny Peralta. They're in free-fall at this point. They're pretty darn desperate.

If he goes 2009 the rest of the way it could be curtains. Morneau pretty much did what Mauer did for them earlier in the year and then some. Now he's got this concussion issue and might not be the same player you saw in the first half. It's only natural that Mauer would then go on and rip the s*** out of the ball. So things even out I guess.
July 29, 201015 yr QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 28, 2010 -> 07:02 PM) That's only bad for the Twins if he is out against the Sox... Yup, Danny Valencia is absolutely killing the ball.
July 29, 201015 yr QUOTE (chw42 @ Jul 29, 2010 -> 11:18 AM) I would love for us to be 6 games up on those Tigers. Think they might even unload a player if they're 7 back after tomorrow?
July 29, 201015 yr QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jul 29, 2010 -> 11:21 AM) Think they might even unload a player if they're 7 back after tomorrow? That would be funny as hell. "Hey, we just gave up a good prospect for a bad 3B, but now we suck, so you wanna unload now?"
July 29, 201015 yr They sort of remind me of the Angels right now. From buyers to potential sellers at the flip of a switch. They have too many holes to fill IMO.

July 29, 201015 yr Price pulled about 2 batters too late. Hopefully the pen comes in to finish the Tigers off.
