Fien has been good to us for most of the year. Machado and Davis are on pace for 35-40 homers. It happens.

I agree with the Mauer and Dozier assessment. With guys like Rosario and Hicks helping at the bottom, or even unknown catchers, Minnesota's offense becomes quite decent.

Tommy Milone undefeated in the day, ERA near one.. we might have day playoff pitcher.

Glen Perkins breaks Joe Nathan's consecutive saves record, and tied Eddie Guardado for 4th in total saves. A good day.

The only thing I am 'worried' about right now is our pen... will it be good enough to compete down the stretch?

Actually Fein has been awful lately. Really only Perkins can be rellied on.

Also our offense is still very, very poor. But the issue is the guys to replace can't really be replaced. Out biggest log jam is Of/DH and that's what all our good minors players play.

Rotation and Perkins are studs right now though.

I say Polanco for Santana and Arcia up here to protect Sano. Now you've got a lineup.

Made it more interesting than he had to.

Heh... unusual control problems, walking 2 of the first 4 batters, the second one on 4 pitches. But as long as he somehow gets the LAST OUT of the game, I'm okay with it.

Do you guys know the full totals on the final vote so far?

Twins site is goddamn worthless. Only shown Moose and his leading total with Doz in second. Then imply it's cespedes, Gardner, Bogaerts.

Yesterday they had moose at 7.4 and now 11.8 today. But the article says "dozier closes the gap, second baseman closing in on Moose" and stats that he got "4 mil Wednesday alone"

Well apparently so did Moose lol.

Lol I understand the "don't wanna jinx it mentality" that most sports fanbases have(Doug and his Tiger cronies not withstanding)

But you guys ain't getting caught. Still a real tough loss though.

And the Rays just suck. Fuck those guys.

I'll bet you are. Being 2 1/2 games back that would put you ahead of the Twins going into the all-star break. Of course, if the Twins were to win 3 of 4, that would mean you are 4 1/2 back at the break... of 2nd place.

I think I like that better.

oops. i meant to say it would NOT put you ahead... my mistake.

Beating Price would be a good start to the series.

Gordon has been a rock for the years, still a tough team but he is a key part to the fab 7.

Hard to be confident against a team we just haven't beaten.

But we got the pitching edge in the last 3 games.

Caught a break that we send shitty ass Pelfrey vs Price. Price owns us always. Might as well not waste Santana or Gibson.

If we somehow stole this..

Mr. Dickhead4242, cum eater4242, I mean hockey4242 you are the big winner ''in your own mind'' . Your team sucks balls and that's how it is. No matter what happens this season the twins won't make the playoffs

CBS ended chats has me looking for a home. As for Bud, guys like him are why CBS ended chats. I am confident we can split, I am hopeful for more. Of course, Detroit has had our number this year. Last year, as bad as we were, we had the edge. Price v Pelfrey is a must win game for them, because after David it gets a LOT easier. We have like six number 4-5 starters, no one is really that good. Pelfrey has pitched very well... hopeful it continues.

Dyson is a nice fall back option.

I'm assuming Gordon is done for the year. Really sucks he went down. Helluva player. (Coulda been worse. Hosmer or Sal going down would really have hurt KC, imo.)

Royals fans on CBS were making fun of Miggy getting injured and I told them karma will get them... It did.. but I have a feeling Gordon isn't the last one to get hurt...
