Pavano is 1-1 with a 2.63 ERA over his last 3 starts, G is 1-1 with a 5.27 ERA.

 

Gavin is going to have to keep us in this one.

 

JUST WIN!!!!!!!! Knock the Twinks down a few pegs.

G!

 

Take game 1 of this series. Come on. Take it.

If ever there was a time to start kicking the Twins ass, it would be now.

Twins have had the best pitching in the league the last couple weeks.

Pitching is the one thing I am not worried about for us.

Time for Gavin to go on his annual midsummer rampage which starts in June. Go get em!

f***ing ozzie - no lillibridge. what an asshole.

"He's the first guy in the clubhouse and the last guy out," a Miracle team official said this morning.

 

In seven games for the Miracle, Mauer - a three-time American League batting champion - is hitting .261 with one home run and six RBIs.

 

Mauer will work out again today, then face rehabbing reliever Joe Nathan in batting practice on Wednesday before the Twins decide whether he's ready to return to Minnesota.

I have a bad feeling about this series.

Because of the off day, their recent success, and who knows what else - I haven't been more anxious awaiting a game since the first week of the season.

Don't worry, he'll go 2-4 with 2 little league singles with 2 CS and at least one misplayed ball in left, but ...hey..... 2 WHOLE HITS! More PA's!!!

 

Oh, yeah, he's also the hardest working guy on the team. Don't you dare forget that...

Well that is some luck.

Heavy rain forecast for tonight.

2005?

2006 even moreso for me, because we were the champs.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooo!

This series worries me. I hate that the Twins are still around. They looked a lot better when their GB was double digits. Can't say that this wasn't expected.

Their GB was double digits for the same reason ours was big...one team at the top on fire. Their GB was bound to decline once Cleveland slumped.

I'm seeing 20% chance of precipitation until about 10 pm, then much worse. We will probably play this game.

Heavy rain forecast for tonight.

Yup. 30% chance of showers at game time, rising to 1000% by 12:00.

 

Should the game run into extras the rain will get it, and an early delay could hurt.

Yeah, I just hate looking in the rear-view mirror and seeing this frigging team, especially given the Sox recent history against them. They've been winning ballgames lately, 9-3 in June. In six of those they've score 6+ runs (Sox did this as well).

Well, that and the fact that they were like 16-33 at one point.
