Minnesota Twins @ Chicago White Sox


Pregame

Because 18 times just wasn't enough, this year we need to play each other 19 times.  You don't need to read anything into this one, for the first time in a few weeks--it's the beginning for one team, the end for the other.  One last time...

If I went w/ away uni

I’d have to pick btwn a Viola or Santana jersey

otherwise I can slip into a Dougie M, Mauer, Hunter, Puckett (powder blue), or Killer jersey

funny how you have more money to blow before kids….

I’m watching the game alone though (my last local Twins fan buddy moved this summer) so I might skip the jersey and put on my fav Twins cap and a large glass of scotch

?

Anyone listen to Mike and Mike this morning? They said the Twins got ripped because they won the season series. There shouldn’t even be this 163rd game, and it should at least be at the Dome. They both picked the Twins because they thought they would be angry.

Thoughts?

Well...

He’s coming off of a horrible outing. 2 in his last 3 in fact.
He’s still recovering from tommy john surgery.
He has thrown over 180 IP already this year.
Historically pitchers don’t do well on 3 days rest. At least in this era.
I’m sure Blackburn will have a short leash, and Liriano won’t be far behind

Twins need...

to come out firing tonight. If they come out playing flat like the KC series we have no shot. We need to get some runs early. Hopefully Justin will relax and get some big hits for us. Go Twins!

im not as big a kubel fan as a lot of people here, but he’s gotta be better than Cuddyer right now. Cuddyer should be a pinch hitter the rest of this season.

If it turns into a double that scores Punto I wouldn’t care…but it didn’t. In this game, against a guy who’s clearly doesn’t have his most accurate arm, I’m making him throw a strike before I think about swinging. But, oh well…

He’s relying on his slider, which is good. Like Neil said it is moving great and is a great out-pitch for him so far. His fastball looks great as well.

Damn

Young looks awfully powerful scary with that little bat in his hand. But he sure can’t seem to capitalize on that size.

What a shame, he should have slid around AJ instead of jumping over him.

Random thought:

How did these guys get to where they are? Gardy really is one of the best managers in the league.
