1-0 minnesota.

 

 

No matter how you slice it, if the Sox are more than 3 games down in the lost column by next tuesday, forget it

while it would be best to be 3 or less down in the loss column, that series and the one to close out the season (us vs. indians, them vs. toronto) will be huge even if we are 4 out. Blue Jays are very good.

LOL at Thome with 1.022 OPS.

 

2nd and 3rd for Twins already with one out. Delmon Young strikes again.

 

We have to believe Bannister will beat Liriano? Yikes.

 

Seems the Twins ALWAYS score that runner from 3rd with less than 2 outs since the ASB. Must be a 75-80% conversion rate compared to the MLB average of around 53%.

Twins winning....made me vomit hearing KC announcers go on about how much Thome has meant to the Twins

1-0 minnesota.

Hardy SF scores THOME.

Harrell's offspeed pitch isn't good enough for Little League. He needs to just throw 100% sinkers.

Blue Jays are going to be shutting down Cecil, and they've already shut down Morrow.

Hopefully somehow KC will win one of these and if the Sox don't come back tonight, they will take the next 2. You don't want to be in the situation where they have to sweep Minnesota next week to have any chance. 7-0 on this trip. 4-3 could have meant death to the playoff hopes. I sent my playoff money in today. I don't think I would have if they were 6 out.

2008 taught everyone not to count any team out before the final day of the season, if 2005/2006 and 2009 didn't also do the same in the ALCD.

 

Although I truly believe this Twins' team is much much better than that 2008 team that was competing again one year ahead of schedule after "rebuilding" with the losses of Santana/Hunter.

Why is Detroit running with a 5 run lead?

Why not? What's the shutdown point? The Sox were running down 5.

Isn't Greinke starting tmrw?

 

As someone else mentioned, it's going to suck if the Twins batter two AAA pitchers for the Blue Jays when Cecil and Morrow should have been out there. Although it has a funny way of working out that pitchers a team hasn't seen previously can have some uncanny performances, and maybe the Twins become overconfident. One can only hope.

Up 5 and you're pitcher is dominating the opponent.

 

Well at least this should be his last inning. Maybe their bullpen falters.

you guys make it sound like they won't lose again

Not in the 5th inning with the Detroit bullpen.

They are probably going to have a tough streak still. So might the Sox.

I doubt it was on purpose, but its time the Sox drill someone. Harrell is a perfect guy for this.

okay, enough of this bulls***. leyland's pitchers always throw at hitters and he whines when his own get hit.

Two outs. Man on first. Manny's trying to steal, right?

that wasnt on purpose. the fastball just ran in.

Paging Jon Garland or Sean Tracey to drill someone on the Tigers...preferably Cabrera.

I'm sure your right, but it seems a lot more Sox hitters get hit than the opposition. Its time to hit one of their guys just to make a point. If anything it might get a warning.

 

Hawk always b****es about the warnings, but it seems the opposition throws tight more often than the White Sox. It could just in my mind.

I'm sure they'll lose again...but it would be nice if they lose more than once a week. Their starting pitching is doing an amazing job of keeping them in every game and allowing their offense a chance to win the game. Can't believe they're all the way up to 24 games over .500
