Is everyone loosing their minds? The season is not over. This is one game and Cleve boy is pitching the game of his life. We have a 2 game lead now. IF we loose tonight it's a 1 game lead. If we win the next 2 were up by 3. If we get swept so be it. The boys need to grow through some adversity.

The Twins don’t have to face them again unless they actually beat someone in the playoffs, something they haven’t done in 17 years.

I mean, I always thought we’d be avoiding the WC

By the time the next series with the Indians rolls around, Corey Kluber will be pitching again. The Twins simply have no answer for the Indians starting pitching. They will have THREE better than ANYONE the Twins have.

 

On paper.  But get them in the game and let's see what happens.  By a number of people's opinions here, we should just pack it up and we'll see ya in Ft. Myers in February.

Actually, this is a very normal game for Clevinger. Somebody pin a Cy Young on that man's chest. Yeah...um, he's slightly good.

Cy Young not this year. But if that man doesn't win a Cy Young in the future, I would be surprised.

Bullpen scaries making an appearance

If things don't work out for the Cimber fella, he'd probably work out well on my fastball team. 

[operation mindcrime]

One batter at a time!

[twinsnorth49]

Hmmmm.....

[Aggies7]

Well well well, welly well well well

[twinsnorth49]

They should have tried this earlier.......oh wait, they did. 

[TwinsCD]

And now we're one swing away!!

[Aggies7]

Absolute BS strike 2 call. Total BS

[Bandit34]

Strike two in the words of Bob Uecker: "Just a bit outside."

[twinsnorth49]

How the hell has he earned that benefit of the doubt!!

 

Bull****!

[nicksaviking]

[twinsnorth49]

[TwinsCD]

Cederstrom's been there all nite so it's the 8th inning, no need to complain about it.

This figures to be Oliver’s last year. loogy’s won’t exist next year.

[nicksaviking]

Funny how the umpires I remember from 20-30 years ago are the ones who seem to get the most calls wrong.

[twinsnorth49]

Back to base running school kid.
