We need a sweep

[Down to Earth]

Two games left with the D-Rays and have Radke and Santana to round out the series. Hopefully we can pick up the wins and gain some ground, before we head off to Cleveland.

Liriano seems to have gotten over his bump from last week. Looked awesome again last night.

Radke did his job now Santana has to get it done in the afternoon "12:00" game Thurs hope he doesn't lay an Egg.......I'm pulling for Detroit we need to catch Chicago first......

Go Twins.....

What's with Punto... he's on fire!

Radke is looking like he deserves a 1 more year contract.

Not sure how long that cortizone shot's going to last but it sure is nice to see Radke pitching well again.......

Pier-

I respectfully disagree,, we need to win--- and catch DET. Otherwise we will never catch the SOX when you look at the Aug sched. PLus-- it doesn't really matter who wins between the sox and tigers if we don't beat up on at least one of them if not both when we play them.

Well, so far its looking pretty good this afternoon as the Twins are up 6-3. Start a big series against the Tribe tomorrow as they always seem to play us tough, especially in Cleveland. Then the money series start. I believe we have 20+ games against the Tigers and Sox the rest of the way out. How we do there will dictate where we go. Hopefully the pitching holds up and the bats continue to come around.

Is it me or do we seem to be playing our best ball when Stewart is out of the lineup? Anybody else picking up on that?

[nofishfisherman]

We are playing our best now but I don't think its becuase of Stewart being out.

OUr pitching has been outstanding and I doubt Stewart plays much of a factor in how the pitchers perform.

Also everyone is hitting right now and I doubt Stewart plays much of a factor in how the bottom of the order hits.

I think getting Batista out is the bigger factor. Punto is hitting over .300 with good defense while Batista did nothing and I mean nothing at 3rd.

[Down to Earth]

I forgot about the Batista factor. Good point there as well.

We got our sweep! And the White Sox lost again!!

That puts us only 4 behind the Sox for the Wildcard. Hopefully we can keep it going on this next road trip. Like I said, though Cleveland always worries me. Wouldn't it be nice to over take the Sox next week in Chicago though?

It is broom time.

Sweet.

It's been a fantastic turnaround by your ball club this season and I hope it continues and you guys can land the wild card. Nothing would suite me better if the Yanks don't make the playoffs. My Cards are barely keeping there head above water.
