Game 159: Sox vs. Twins

Morneau_mvp_tiny by 33MorneauMVP on

Twins down 6-4....top of the seventh and Crain is on for the Twins.

Gomez has had a great day and has two triples on the day.....we really need to ride on Morneau's back though.  He NEEDS to come up big in these final innings!

Mauer is 3-4 but failed miserably in the bottom of the sixth with a little grounder to second.

LETS GO TWINS!  LETS GO!  RALLY!!!!!  ITS RALLY TIME IN MN!!!!!!!!

Just a note:The Twins weren't scheduled to face Greinke anyway.

So the news that he is being shut down doesn’t effect us at all. He actually doesn’t have a scheduled start for the rest of the year, regardless of his injury.

Morneau pops up

come on guys

play like the season depends on it… b/c it does

Are you kidding me?

They haven’t quit. You can’t just blame a guy for quitting when he gets out.

That's the most ludicris thing I've heard all night.

These guys are pros. They don’t say, “Well, we’re down by two with three innings to do. We have really sucked tonight, so I’m about ready to head back home. It’s no use. We can’t do this.”

I don't like Cuddyer pinch hitting

here. The best he can hope for is to make it 6-5. And I would rather see Kubel facing Jenks than Cuddyer.

Don't let Thornton

Have an easy inning. Get somebody on base!

by Alexi Casilla All-Star on Sep 25, 2008 10:38 PM EDT   0 recs

I bet Ozzie

Send Thornton out for the eighth. There is nobody else that has been as good he has.

by Alexi Casilla All-Star on Sep 25, 2008 10:40 PM EDT   0 recs

1 out

and 2 innings to get 2 runs

by caluofmn on Sep 25, 2008 10:43 PM EDT   0 recs

doubt if its Buscher

if Thorton comes back out…

Harris probably
Ruiz maybe for Punto (Everett Subs)
and then Gomez

by 33MorneauMVP on Sep 25, 2008 10:45 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

that doesn't sound like a bad inning

good time for Slim (Ruiz) to get a hold of one

by caluofmn on Sep 25, 2008 10:48 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

I also doubt they bat for Punto

He does have very good numbers as a RH hitter.

Breslow Ks AJ

Great performance! lets not waist it!

Huge inning

coming up. How about a crooked number? It can be done.

nervous here because I know we can tie this game

but pessimistic because I know the Twins

by 33MorneauMVP on Sep 25, 2008 10:51 PM EDT   0 recs

Need a hit

From Punto. A 6-5 game would be a lot different than 6-4.

by Alexi Casilla All-Star on Sep 25, 2008 10:51 PM EDT   0 recs

Probably. ;)

LETS GO CARLOS!

by Tony_O on Sep 25, 2008 10:53 PM EDT   0 recs

he should just sit back and wait

he should not press…I worry about his young nerves and the noise from the crowd getting to his head. just a base hit Gomez that is all! that is all! just a texas leaguer that is all!

by 33MorneauMVP on Sep 25, 2008 10:54 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Jenks for Thornton

Gomez is a K candidate, then it would be up to Span.

by Alexi Casilla All-Star on Sep 25, 2008 10:54 PM EDT   0 recs

a SINGLE will do

only 1 down boys and Chicago gots no one else

by caluofmn on Sep 25, 2008 10:57 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

yes it works out very nicely

and we know Gomez…he can turn a single into a double via steal!

by 33MorneauMVP on Sep 25, 2008 10:58 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

From Gomez? No. From Span? No.

Gordo and Gladden

Are prattling on about advancing Harris. It is nice, but giving up an out is much, much bigger. Especially with the bottom of the order up, it is much more important for Punto/Gomez to get on. Hopefully, Gomez gets Harris in one way or another.
