2010 American League Central Champion

[Big Tom]

45 Games left Twins up by two games

Twins 8-2 last 10 White Sox 4-6

In what I expect to be a recurring theme, the Sox relief corps gives up another one after a strong starter performance.

Heck of a game by Duensing.

Yep!.....the sox keep.......

It would be nice to have Justin back but the Twins have done an outstanding job keeping them in the run with many, many injuries.

I watched a few ESPN shows this past week and the majority of the analysts are thinking the Twins will win the division as they have more depth and better pitching overall.

I guess we will see.

Go Twinkies.

[greebs]

they are playing good ball right now and starting pitching is the key. getting justin back would be basically like a major trade at this point. duensing looks like he might be a good starter and while they should have used him earlier in the year, they figured it out before it was too late.

not only do they need to stay ahead of the sox but sure would be nice if they could work it out so that if they make playoffs they can avoid the yankees in the first round. knowing our luck though, we'll keep ahead of the rangers and then they rays will pass the yankees and we'll still have to play them. guess at least we'd have home field advantage in that case.

lots of games to play yet though and pretty slim lead over the sox....

i can't wait for windy to start contributing to this thread. i could use a good laugh

[harvey lee]

I listened to a show this am and one had talked with family members and they thought Justin would not be back this season due to his head injury.

Makes sense as one cannot continue to have concussions. The next he may not recover.

Home run Jim Thome!

[Big Tom]

Putz lost another one. Glad we got Capps as insurance. Bobby Jenks back looks to be costing the Sox big time.

Hope the Twins hold onto the brooms. May need them again on Thursday.

Both team's pens blew it.

Playoff-type Baseball

Nice walk-off Bomb by Thome

[Duffman]

How'd that feel Windy?

[Big Tom]

How'd that feel Windy?

Time to file a missing persons report? J/K He'll be back; assuming the Sox win one of the next two. If not, all bets are off.

[Big Tom]

Capps sure likes to make 'em interesting. Let's get the Brooms ready for Pavano tomorrow.

[SledNeck]

you mean the FORKS

[soldoncass]

Not sure which thread to put this on, but The MN TWIN'S sure are looking more at home in Target field. Good for US......maybe NOT SO GOOD FOR THEM

[thatoneguy]

It's too early to talk about any fork-sticking. Six+ weeks of baseball left, and as the Twins have shown over the past few years, anything can happen.

The Twinks are sure looking good, but unless they get a little more consistent pitching (and unless Capps somehow finds a second pitch besides his flat fastball), they can't be considered locks yet. It sure has been fun watching this run and watching them break the Sox backs though!

He relayed this message to me.........
