brijames Posted September 17, 2003 Share Posted September 17, 2003 A team without any character doesn't discover it overnight. I fully expect this team to finish without much of a fight, and i wouldn't be at all surprised if they finish behind the Royals. Too many individuals and not enough team.

Capn12 Posted September 17, 2003 Share Posted September 17, 2003 You got it....like i've said all year, once this team gets behind by 3 or more runs, it turns into a Home Run Derby contest for everyone in the lineup. Very irritating for us fans, knowing that everyone is going up there and popping everything up, trying to hit a ball 400 feet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, that's bad. and then you have one guy hit a solo homer and everyone thinks its their turn. Props to Carl for actually connecting tonight.

greg775 Posted September 17, 2003 Share Posted September 17, 2003 It's also a disgrace how we let the Twins off the hook this season. This wasn't going to be their year. They had dissention and sucked for long stretches, but we've had some horrific stretches of our own and let them stay in it. Now their fans get into it, the Twinks decide to wake up at the end, and it's curtains for us. They are treating this like the Series and I see little hope of winning any of these 3 games. I'm not giving up but it don't look good. If we don't win it, I hope the Royals do. f*** Minnesota. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick Allen Posted September 17, 2003 Share Posted September 17, 2003 One constant for this team this year has been whenever you are ready to give up on them, they bring you back in. Of course the other constant is when they look like they are going to win it all, they break your heart. I'm sure Twins fans felt like most of us after the first 2 games of last week's series. We definitely have a disadvantage with JM calling the shots, but there is still hope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sox are out of magic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan4life_2003 Posted September 17, 2003 Share Posted September 17, 2003 The Sox play KC and NY after this Twinks series. Twinks play CLE and DET. Sox are out of magic. That's pretty much what it comes down to. I don't see how 2 teams who were expected to battle for the division title all year long get completely different schedules in September when the gms count most. I realize in the end everybody has played the same schedule. But somethin just ain't right about us playing the Yanks and Red Sox in Sept while they're playin the Tigers and Indians. Look at the Cubs in their division. They've been playin cupcakes all month. It just doesn't seem right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To blame the schedule is foolhearty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sox and the Twins had the same schedules. The Sox played all of the same teams earlier than the Royals and Twins did. Just because of the timing of when specifically some teams are played doesn't make a difference. We played all of the same teams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonkeyKongerko Posted September 17, 2003 Share Posted September 17, 2003 I have to agree. KC lost 100 games last season and nobody including schedule makers would guess they would be a tough opponent down the stretch. They have also beaten up on Minnesota for us a few times this season.
