Bases loaded, 5-3. Only one out.

 

Damn you, Marson.

 

 

I'll give you Crain, but I don't trust Thornton

 

his fastball is down this year and he's been roughed up at times. still posting ~3.00 ERA and about 3:1 K/BB ratio. he's gonna get to his stretch where he's un-hittable. happens every year.

Bases loaded in NY

from about July 1 to mid-Sept is when Thornton usually gets it going.

5-4 NY bases still loaded.

NY wins 5-4

Soriano SURVIVES, barely.

 

Back to a 2 1/2 game lead, tied for the biggest lead of the season. Still 3 games back of the 8 games over .500 mark, but in good position still and with momentum again after surviving Minnesota and picking up Youk.

 

 

hopefully Youk can spark this offense in New York the way he used to when he was with the Carmines. looking forward to an interesting 4 game series vs. the Yankees.

 

3-1 would be great, but i'd settle for 2-2 considering they don't have to face Sale this time around. then off the TEJAS!

First baseman Justin Morneau, now 7 for 73 against left-handers this season with 22 strikeouts, talked his way into the lineup by telling manager Ron Gardenhire before the game he wanted "a piece of this kid," but a seventh-inning single was the only dent he put on yet another stellar performance by the lefty Sale.

 

for a guy hitting .229 that's laughable. oh how the once mighty have fallen.
