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.
Arraez still out. Boy would it be huge to get him back for the postseason. Guessing Cruz is just precautionary. Playoff lineup gives me hope...
1. Buck
2. Arraez
3. Donaldson
4. Cruz
5. Rosario
6. Sano
7. Polanco
8. Kepler/Cave
9. Jeffers/Garver
The Twins win out and they win the division. Simple as that. Chi Sox have the Cubs to end the year, I can't see them winning four straight starting today. Plus they aren't going to move up Giolitto to Sunday instead of start him in Game 1 of the postseason.
The Twins were given a gift, now take it and run with it. Plus they miss Bauer.
Boy....that 11A group is thin on Western teams.
Dickinson, St. Marys, Watford City, Belcourt. I guess they'd make Devils Lake, and Jamestown West teams.
Happy bus trips.
If they walk Cabrera they can play the infield back and that ball that Candelaria or however you spell it hits is a double play ball.
One of these times me yelling at the TV for them to walk Cabrera with a base open will pay off and he will strikeout.
Would love to see a statistic on how much we attempt moving runners on non 3-2 counts. Have to be dead last. I can't remember the last time we hit and ran.
Frustrating game. Better to win ugly than lose ugly. I miss Arraez. Hopefully he's back at some point.
Bullpen not sharp tonight. Day off yesterday coming off limited work against the Sox. Thought they'd be ready.
This is such a big stretch of games. They've got to find a way to win tonight.
Thank you Rocco for taking out Homer and putting in a competent pitcher.
Detroit shouldn't score the rest of the game if Rocco rolls out the right relievers.
Okay.....predict the schedule.
Tennessee....loss. @Texans...loss. @Seahawks....loss. Falcons....loss. @Green Bay....loss. Lions.....win. @Bears....loss. Cowboys....loss. Panthers.....win. Jags.....win. @Tampa...loss. Bears.....loss. @Saints....loss. @Lions....loss.
3-13 is absolutely on the table. If it doesn't get them Lawrence then for the love of all things holy trade away future picks and get yourself some first round caliber lineman.
The Devil on my shoulder hopes Cousins gets dinged up and they have to go with Mannion, which is guaranteed losses going forward.
Four games at home with that staff. If Cleveland can take 3 of 4 and the Twins sweep Detroit the Twins have the lead going into the weekend with the White Sox hosting the Cubs.
I think 4-1 down the stretch gives the Twins the division.
