yeah this game is over already....we're tied...ugh terrible

Add to the fact that we have to play more games than them in the same amount of time means they are at a big advantage. Although we still have less losses, but I am very pessimistic now. It would be so sucky to have led this division pretty much since April and to have the Twins overtake us the last two weeks. Kinda like the runner who drafts behind the leader and beats him in the last 100 meters.

I'm so glad the Sox took the Baltimore games lightly. Nothing says killer instinct like starting Horacio Ramirez and trying to use him for 3 innings.

 

You might need to keep track of the Twins magic number.

 

I hate the Twins with a passion, but the deserve credit for never being out of it. Plus whenever they have an injury, the replacements seem to do better than the originals, minus Mauer or Morneau. We don't get that luxury.

I'm still ticked about that. One of Ozzie's worst decisions this year.

Guys I'm close to assuming Minnie is going to win the division and lose in the first round again. I'm close to just being pleasantly surprised if we make it. It just seems like it's Minnie's year. Go ahead and flame me but it just seems like teams get up for us, and don't get up for Minnie. See the O's and Royals. Until people forget about our 05 title, we catch their best shot and the Twinks don't.

Hope the Sox surprise me. I will be rooting all the way.

I just hope the team isn't like me, shipps, and close to assuming it's ova. I just hate the fact other teams can't get up for the Twins. You wait and see how hard the pissant Royals play against us in KC. I mean there's no way we'd have swept Baltimore tonight like the s***ass Twinks are doing. No way.

I'm praying that you're wrong, but I think you're right. I will be pleasantly surprised if the Sox make the postseason.

Horses***. This in combination with our healthy lineup and prize-winning play gives me the heebie jeebies. I can't see us sweeping a double header against anyone let alone a division rival tomorrow and Minny gets the team they outscored 73-4 today. This is the moment I've been bracing myself for. Please, don't even start with the "way to support your team" junk either. We're injured, face a relentless schedule thanks in part to this rain, and get to pay our beloved Twins a visit. If we take but *one* out of three up there I'll consider it to be a major victory. Additionally, when was the last time we swept a doubleheader? Before the time of Christ? I know some scientists just started up a spiffy new collider in Europe. Maybe they also seek the answer to that question.

 

I'm prepared to eat my words, but I'm not expecting I'll need to.

last July 24 against Detroit

 

The Twins bullpen is terrible. The starting pitching staff cant pitch 8 inning everynight for the rest of the year. The division lead will bounce around until the until of the year.

Anyone have any idea who's pitching in the Minnesota series? I'm not even going to try to figure it out with all of the rain delays happening. Please no 5th starter, that's all I ask. I would prefere no Vazquez either because I don't like how he performs in big game situations.

Hope I'm wrong as well, but today's DH sweep says a lot about Minnie again. They don't have the players we do, yet they are the likely division champs. Hope I eat my words as well. I will continue rooting as hard as I can. Twinks are so resilient they piss me off.
