harvey lee Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 Very poor pitching. They will really need to work on the whole staff before next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SledNeck Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 7th in era in the AL with a very young staff isnt too bad. We have given up the least walks in MLB. We need a solid set up man in the bullpen. The staff isnt bad, you dont have a record like the twins do on hitting alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PierBridge Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 We'll be back next year even stronger, lots of promise with this young team. They exceeded expectations for this season by far. I would like to think so but you just never know. Clearly Cleveland and Detroit were the pre season front runners in our division and look what happened to them.That's what makes this more difficult to deal with if we don't pull it out and that doesn't look to good right now.

mnwild Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 Well I think the brooms will be out tonight in Cleveland having to face Lee. How many times in last nights game did they have basesload?? Sure would of been nice to see a grandslam on one of those occasions but it never happened imagine that. Then the bullpen blows a game once again very nice. Have fun golfing October 1st in Arizona or Florida. And Pier let me correct myself from my last post in another thread its the Minnesota Stinkies I think I can be negitive in this thread right??

Windy City Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 Let the negatives fly wild! I thought you were going with the Yankees but if you want to go with the Stinkies instead of the Twinkies, by all means do so. I won't stop ya!

Windy City Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 Wild,Let me know the next time you are in the Windy City. I will take you out to dinner at Commanche Jim's place, the Stoney Point Grille. We got to take care of the one reasonable voice out there in Twinkie-ville!

Scott M Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 Dangit Twins. You know the best they can do is split with Tampa, take 2 of 3 with Chicago, and pray for Sox losses while playing KC, but the way they are playing right now you can't count on much of anything.Oh well, who wanted to see an in and done team anyways. Get better before next year. Maybe I'll go see them during Spring Training. Still was a fun team to watch. Upper third of MLB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coach1310 Posted September 17, 2008 Author Share Posted September 17, 2008 I agree with what has been mentioned... you just never know about next year!! I think it is unfortunate that they Twins went cheap again this year and didn't go hard after Bradford from Baltimore instead they settled for Eddie G! It is pretty tough to swallow when you overachieve and then seem to just run out of gas down the stretch. I can already see us sweeping the Chi Sox next week to bring the division to even and just melt down on the weekend. For the record...I lept off the BANDWAGON along time ago, but there is still a slice of me that wants to get back on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like that thinking.....My son was at a game when he was about 10 years old...The Twins lost 10-3 and he said..."Dad, at least we got 3 runs". 34 now and still a Twins fan. It might be the only thing right I taught him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mnwild Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 Lee didn't get the win but Cleveland sure did. Alot of opportunities last night and they couldn't cash in. Now They travel to the Ray's, I bet they (the Rays) will take 3 of 4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Windy City Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 Wild,I have to give the Twinks props for manning up against Mr. Lee. True they lost but he didn't win. I think we may face him the last game of the year. Magic number is now in single digits, I can hear the fat lady warming up....Me Me Me Me!Windy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hamrej23 Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 if we keep it where it is at now (2.5) I can guarantee that the Sox will be worried when they come to the dome.... everyone knows that, even the twins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Crichton Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 Again way to many left on base. Got to Lee early and often, but could not knock him out. Oh well the sox lost too, so no gain for the sox. We are still looking in Windy's rear view mirrior, and we won't go away.G.C. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
