DTE Andy,

At 10:05pm CST tonight, it'll be official.

Fishy,

Thanks for those records. I had a feeling that the WSox were not that much better than the Cubs although the Windy-spin would like you to believe so. No wonder the Cubs are still Chicago's favorite team.

Windy,

No wonder the WSox "fans" booed Jenks the other night, the WSox are ONLY 3 games better than the Cubs since the All-Star game? And the Cubs had to lose 16 of 18 to do that. Now I know what that stench is that is coming from the SSide.

What's your latest prediction, o great Carnack?

PS I noticed how Harrelson PUT IT ON THE BOARD after Iguchi's HR, but wonder why he never even mentioned all those goose-eggs Sabathia PUT ON THE BOARD in the final 8 innings?

PPS I don't really like rooting against the WSox to see you in pain, but for Harrelson to shut his, what did you call it?, Pie Hole, this is GREAT!

Just be nice for Windy to realize that the Minnesota Twins are the best team in baseball right now.....there is no arguing that. And if you even try to fight it...you are just putting yourself in denial! Sorry Windy no way you can fight that FACT...no matter how many numbers you throw at it......sometimes the simplest truth is the biggest fact! "You can but THAT on the board...YES!!"

Good reading:

They have shaved 8½ games off the lead since star pitcher Francisco Liriano went on the disabled list with arm problems. The rookie is set to make his return on Wednesday, and Punto says Santana is the reason the Twins are still in it.

"That's why Santana is my MVP," Punto said. "It was a huge letdown losing (Liriano) in Detroit. We could have easily packed it in. Santana didn't allow that."

Only four pitchers have won an MVP award since 1971, with Oakland closer Dennis Eckersley the last to do it in 1992.

Santana, who leads the majors in wins, strikeouts and ERA, said individual awards are nice, but "I'm more about trying to win a World Series."

And now we get Liriano back!!!

The one thing I've noticed being talked about a lot is stats of teams from this point on, or prior to this point in time, etc. etc. The beauty of baseball is that it's not a sprint...it's a MARATHON! And the Twins are gaining speed down the long stretch coming to the finish line. I just hope we don't run out of gas. With Liriano coming back, we should have some renewed arm strength in the pitching tank and if I were any team in the AL, I'd be nervous about the Twins. They've battled through lots of injuries this year, some key ones at that, and still they just keep coming and coming and coming. That along with being nearly 100% full strength toward the end of the season ought to be big cause for concern among any competing team.

Jim Leland knew this all too well in a post-game interview he gave after a Twins game in Detroit. His concerns then are being realized now.

I wonder if Windy is still glad about his team's pitching staff (and if he would still take it over the Twins')? Who is his next CYoung candidate from the WSox - McCarthy? Yeah right, what is he, 3-7? So they better rush him into the starting rotation over Buerhle.

If Liriano really is strong enough to come back, you Twin fans can buy your playoff tix. But none of you should forget the main reason the Cubs aren't in it: no TIMELY hitting and no TIMELY pitching. Takes both an offense and a defense to do it. Right now both the WSox and Tigers don't have much of either.

Where's Windy now? I don't think will be hearing from him again this year. Twins are going to win wild card with Detroit hanging on to the division. It would be so nice if the Twins could catch Detroit just so we can face Oakland in the Division series.

    • got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out
    • By The way that didn't work either!! Screw it I'll just use the cellular. 
    • It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.
    • 😂 yea pretty amazing how b o o b i e s gets flagged, but they can't respond or tell me why I  can't get logged in here on my laptop but I can on my cellular  😪
    • I grilled some brats yesterday, maybe next weekend will the next round...  
    • You got word censored cuz you said        B o o b ies….. haha.   Yeah, no… grilling is on hiatus for a bit.
    • Chicken mine,  melded in Mccormick poultry seasoning for 24 hours.  Grill will get a break till the frigid temps go away!
    • we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
