He better play that clip for the team, just b-4 the game. A.J. said that, hmmmm it doesn't suprise me though.

I too am worried, I checked both his personalities, he hasnt posted since 9-23

[Gary Crichton]

I guess we need to put out an APB on the guy.

heard this on the radio earlier;

10 times in the history of MLB has a team had the chance of beating 3 different teams in a row. (ex. White sox beating Clev, DEt and now maybe the Twins)

It's never happened. 0-10

The Twins will need everything they got,, and maybe a bouce or two.

I pray the Twins play the field like the can, and that the SOx throw a few in the dugout.

[Gary Crichton]

Has it happened that much. I would have thought a couple of times, but not 10. WOW.... It is kinda of a interesting stat.

Not to often will that stat come up.

Windy said he was coming to the Twins - White Sox series and was going to be flashing around $100 bills... Hopefully, he didn't get rolled coming out of the dome. That or else he might have liked our fine state and decided not to go back to the Windy City.

They did a coin toss and chicago won the toss, so the game is being played in chicago. They did this a while ago, just in case.

3 hours and 15 minutes

Win or lose the Twins over performed their expectations this year, and we have a solid team with a good group uf youngsters to build on for many years. Good luck Twins!

[dan z]

i hope the white sox are ready to play there best ball because i think the twins are going to give everything they got and with are speed on the base we have a better chance with the win.

no metter what happens it will a good game both are good teams and hope make some good calls. GO TWINS. we sweep them once what is one more game.

[Gary Crichton]

Good Good point 4wanderingeyes. So we have to play in chicago. We also have to play Tampa on the road, so we better learn how to win now.

2 hours and counting.

GO TWINS...

A great season by a Twins team that was not expected to contend. Two 22-year old outfielders, and one of the youngest starting rotations in baseball. Like I've said before, a team built for the new-stadium season of 2010.

The fact that they were in contention down to the end bodes well for the future. And being in contention...including the playoff game...will also prove a valuable part of the learning curve. Now they know of the danger of a let down after a big series (Kansas City after they swept the Sox) and how important each game can be.

Congrats to the Sox. They earned it. The Twins should watch the Sox celbrate...and remember it.

I am of the opinion that the future is very, very bright for the Twins. They are just not quite there yet.

[Scott M]

Yup. Different game at the dome. A.J. was right about that concrete in front of home plate. Anybody notice how the dirt infield was nice and combed up and watered down? One home run too many. If they kept the HRs at 0, they win the game.

But what were they playing for, other than a division banner? Not much as you gotta think they will get bounced. I know Tampa is young, but they have some veterans and loads of talent.

Nice job by the Sox, gotta give them credit. They had to win 3 straight and they did it.

[BID2]

I hate when people treat second, third, fourth, fifth place like its some sort of accomplishment. "Oh, we did better then expected" or "oh, this team is young" or "oh, we still played good" or "They made us proud ". This isnt little league. Either you WIN THE WHOLE THING or you arent sheeat. This team CHOKED and they suck. If they cant even win the division the they can save their "pats on the back" for next year.....when I EXPECT them to win the world series.

[Chisox]

What a great ball game!!! How can you not love an old fashion pitchers dual? I give my hats off to the Twins for a great year and battling all the way. The probably have the best manager in baseball. One question though, why the h. e. double hockey sticks is Mauer bunting in that situation? He is leading the league in hitting and he tries to bunt, does not make sense to me (unless he is self-fish and doesn't want to take the hood). Any way great game and GO SOX!!!!!!!!

He maybe lit up by now and cant type...

[dan z]

gonna be tough to win playoof games in tampa if you only have five hits and one run. I will be watchun the angels and RED sox

[Gary Crichton]

Mauer Struck out as was not seeing the ball well I guess, so he tried bunt his way on. No one told him to do it, but sometimes it can help a player who is having issues in any given game.

Sometimes that can jump start a team and fluster the pitcher a bit. He just didn't get it far enough down the line.

GO TAMPA.
