Ohh my.....this is getting interesting in a hurry.

Could Cleveland just please win so I can cheer harder for the Twins today. Just don't want Cleveland in a best of three.

The true travesty is the o line play at the end. But they won't get better going 7-9 this year. Full on tank mode. Keep players out that are dinged up and try and let Jefferson get better through the year.

And now things get really ugly for the Vikings the next few weeks. After this stretch they'll be 0-7. If I'm them I don't even bring Hunter back. Let him get completely fine and give it a go next year. Zimmer.....its been fun but this probably ends your stint in Minnesota. Speilman too. Its a business.

Lots of scenarios. Yanks lose and Blue Jays win and they are headed to Tampa. Only seeds set in stone are the Rays and Astros.

Not sure who has the tiebreaker between the jays and Yankees, ill assume Yankees. Will go in as the 2nd seed tomorrow which means Cleveland if they win. As of now.... 1. Rays 2. Twins 3. A's 4. Sox 5. Yankees 6. Stros 7. Indians 8. Jays Do the A's try to win? The White Sox have a layup tomorrow, the Cubs won their division. The Twins lose all tiebreakers with the A's and White Sox. If the Yankees do own the blue jay tiebreaker they are 5th for sure.

Then they pinch hit idiot and Rodgers hangs one. What do you know??? Then he hits the .182 moron.

Alright Rocco! Here we go! Lefty heavy at the top and Rodgers comes in the game. Good! Yes! Nice! And after he gets out of this its Duffy, May, ballgame.

Indians down 8...... Sox down 3....long ways to go.....

An approach....my gosh. Sit offspeed and waste fastballs.....shorten your cut to make contact.... How good is Arraez?

Could be a quick night for Big Mike..... No worries, Smeltzer is the first one in....

Buxton sitting out with a head contusion.....sigh......I understand being careful with head injuries, but the guy wants to be in there. They took him out yesterday as a precaution, and he passed all concussion protocol. Its to the point where a mosquito bite gets guys a day off.

Arraez is back, as is Smeltzer. Wade Jr. Goes down as does the kid that pitched last night. I was in favor of having Wade pinch hit for Garver last night, but I guess his time has run out.

So we should be having inexperienced pitchers coming in in important spots these next two nights right? I don't see Cleveland dropping a game to Pittsburgh, and that's okay. Its okay for the Twins to win one game and the Tribe and even Chicago to win out because we win the three way tie. It wouldn't be Minnesota Sports right to take the bull by the horns and win these next two games. I have a scary feeling about what tonight's lineup will look like.

You left out Buxton in the first. Rocco has got to start managing with his head or his bench coaches have to speak up. This year has taught me how valuable Derek Shelton was last season and why he is now a major league manager.

So....Twins win one game the rest of the way and the Indians win out we've got ourselves the 3rd seed and the Houston cheaters. Oakland winning out helps.

I come in this thread for a good chuckle. We all have our beliefs, and expressing them is what is great about America. Unfortunately its gotten to the point where "anyone who disagrees with me is Hilter". The dialogue is gone. At least you and I can talk Twins baseball right?

Devastatingly bad move by Rocco. Awful......

Rookie pitcher in this spot huh Rocco? Guess we only lead Cleveland by a game.

Shorten up here Garver.....just get it in play.

Completely agree. I'm guessing he stays in town though as he plays a multitude of positions. And now Buxton takes one to the head. Can't catch a break.

The Sox will be on the road for the postseason if they don't wake up. Unfortunately they just poked the crap out of the bear tonight, and now the Cubs may care again.

Marwin can't hit a ball in play, and Rosario can't hit the cut off man. At least Cleveland and Chicago are losing too.

All three teams in the AL Central behind at the moment. Big chance for the Twins if they turn this around.

I'd actually like it to be the Yankees honestly. They are dreadful on the road and honestly if we are going to get king kong off our back it may as well be this year. Losing to them again for the &%##* time wouldn't bug me. They own us in the playoffs, nothing we can do to change that.
