No, we can't. You'll yell at us.

 

But can you imagine the emotional lift it would give the team

Sox are awesome against the central

I am sorry but, no way we shouid be losing this game to a AAA team this is flat out horrid.

Bad Gavin tonight

Ladies and gentlemen...We could very well be looking at our 'ace' going into next year.

 

 

Who, Humber?

 

He's starting? Because he's had all quality starts and the two that weren't, he only gave up 4 in both those games.

 

Although against the Twins, he'd probably give up 7-9 runs in the first inning.

Go Bruins!

4-1 CLE

1-5 DET

0-3 MINN

1-1 KC

 

6-10=.375

 

About as good as the 1962 Mets in the ALCD.

 

Cue Greg meltdown/diatribe.

Don't tell J4L that Morse has two more homers

Gavin's 2009 ERA vs Twins: 5.27

 

Gavin's 2010 ERA vs Twins: 8.06

 

This shouldn't be all that surprising. Though this lineup is similar to the Jordan Danks-led Charlotte Knights.

In what inning do we get the gratuitous solo homer?

The Twins pitch our hitters the same way every single year. High and in with the fastball, low and away with offspeed pitch. That has as much to do with their success against us than anything else.

that and the fact that they can actually control their pitches

Are you serious? Damn. Jose 2.0. Zimmerman is back. Harper will be there next year. Rendon the year after that. AND I've read they'll be a major player for Prince Fielder come winter.

Well that should just about do it tonight for another summer heartless effort by the sox. You could strap a twins uni on some girl scouts and they would frighten and beat our team.

 

That is a good point. If you put the entire Twins AAA team on the field and let them use a ML pitcher, would they still own the Sox?

Maybe so.

Sox can't touch the Twinks. Don't know what it will take for it to change.

Sox look beaten already with their little pop ups and weak grounders compared to good, grinder baseball.

Well....I'd almost rather lose 8-1 against Minnesota than having Santos and the season shattered by blowing a 2-3 run lead in the 9th.

 

Maybe we can slowly peck our way back into this one instead of our usual losing the lead in the last 3 innings trick.

 

I'm just thankful that we can't have two THREE game sweeps on our record....when you lose a series 0-2 it doesn't seem so bad psychologically.

Yup and here is the wearing out of the left side and some occasional popups. The Sox are behind the Twins and have put it into cap tipping mode. If we cant beat this crappy lineup, wait until they get their full strength team.

 

They must wait every year for us to come up so they can just beat us to death. We are their jumping off board for the summer.

 

 

 

 

and he'll steal 2nd in about 30 seconds...

that'll teach you gardenhire

And that contract will be the worst in baseball the back half of it...but they really do have a chance to do some damage while Fielder's 28-32.

 

I still wouldn't pay $200 million to a 1B unless it was Pujols in his prime.

 

 

AJ has now thrown out 7/52 on the season, including 1 for CoCo Crisp out at home.

Are you counting today as a loss, because this is the Sox 3rd game against the Twins.

The Twins pitch our hitters the same way every single year. High and in with the fastball, low and away with offspeed pitch. That has as much to do with their success against us than anything else.

 

Thats because our team goes into hero mode the minute we go down. They scratch a few early runs, then allow us to get ourselves out. We are a wildly undisciplined team.

already into the 5th

already into the 5th

 

1 f***ing hit on our side. Pathetic.

 

 

Ozzie needs to be fired for the simple fact that his team can no longer beat any AL Central opponents on a regular basis.

 

This is embarrassing.

The question is, why do all of our pitchers die against the twins? Whether it's by power or small stuff, we give up everything. It wouldn't look worse if they had our signs.
