Game #1 prediction...

[CALVINIST]

We'll get to Zito early. He'll settle down. But with Johann on the mound it'll be too late.

Twins 4

A's 1

Anyone else care to guess?

[irvingdog]

Ditka 127

Twins 5

A's 1

Ditka wins in a landslide.

[buzzsaw]

Twins 6

A's 3

Johan has been giving up a few more hits and runs his last three starts... I always fear pitchers who throw all that offspeed stuff against us as we seem to fair better against fastball pitchers. Mauer will get a big hit as will Cuddy!

[mnwild]

3-1 Twins... Your right about the offspeed pitching and Zito is good at it. I can't wait for the game to start. I will be watching the game at my desk while I am working, nice having the boss gone on days like this..

Twins 4, A's 3

Johan goes 7 to 8 strong innings, nathan shuts em down in the 9th, bullpen hopefully gets another day off, cuz twins will probably need them after game one

[Eric Wettschreck]

Right now it's A's 2 twins 0. Start hittin the ball, fellas.

[mnwild]

I know this is a dumb question but Im going to ask anyway, where can a guy buy homer hanky's?? Do they sell them at Cub??

[CALVINIST]

I might need one to wipe the crow from my face if the twinks lose...

[mnwild]

thank you Rondell White....

[MNice]

No win for Johan today..Crain is on in the 8th. We need some hitting!!

[ozzie]

Frank Thomas ouch!!!

[MNice]

Maybe some 9th inn magic??

[not_nuf_time]

Thomas a second dinger 3-1 A's 9th

[MNice]

Ouch.. will be a tough series when we can't win with Santana on the mound

[rundrave]

our hitters need to learn and be patient and work the count. im tired of all these first pitch outs...(mauer 8th inning runner on 3rd)

better hope the bats come alive because our next couple pitchers are going to need all the help they can get

[buzzsaw]

Nice move putting Crain in in the 9th inning!!

[Spinner1]

The guy dealing for the A's had a few wins this year too. We'll get em tomorrow.
