Guest Princess Leena Posted October 3, 2006 Report Posted October 3, 2006 Bartlett's fucked up 3 times now. Release him. Mauer not clutch!
Guest Princess Leena Posted October 3, 2006 Report Posted October 3, 2006 Damn. And if Bartlett didn't mess up, Santana may well still be in the game. Boo.
naiwf Posted October 3, 2006 Report Posted October 3, 2006 Twins fans cheering the ball being thrown back is just bush league. You're losing the series right now fools. With Boof going in game 2, and the Twins phobia of taking pitches Johan might not get another start.
EVIL~! alkeiper Posted October 3, 2006 Report Posted October 3, 2006 Here's wonderful strategy. You're down two and you can't afford to give up another run. So you give the ball to the guy you called up from AAA.
EVIL~! alkeiper Posted October 3, 2006 Report Posted October 3, 2006 It works though. In fairness, Neshek is no slouch.
Brett Favre Posted October 3, 2006 Report Posted October 3, 2006 They should've kept Johan in to begin with. He only threw 92 pitches.
Guest Paul Posted October 3, 2006 Report Posted October 3, 2006 Now let's see some those clutch M&M boys!
naiwf Posted October 3, 2006 Report Posted October 3, 2006 Johan had thrown 107 pitches in this game. Zito was the one with 92.
Brett Favre Posted October 3, 2006 Report Posted October 3, 2006 Oh, nevermind then. I would've put in Nathan. And oh shit, Bradley just messed up big.
Guest Princess Leena Posted October 3, 2006 Report Posted October 3, 2006 What the heck happened there.
Guest Paul Posted October 3, 2006 Report Posted October 3, 2006 He lost it in the roof...or something.
EVIL~! alkeiper Posted October 3, 2006 Report Posted October 3, 2006 NEWSFLASH: Hitting is difficult.
Brett Favre Posted October 3, 2006 Report Posted October 3, 2006 Only if you don't have the intangibles.
devo Posted October 3, 2006 Report Posted October 3, 2006 Great game. I don't think it's unfair to say that the Twins are in considerable trouble.
Guest Paul Posted October 3, 2006 Report Posted October 3, 2006 Newsflash: Your Cy Young just went down, Twinkies. Not so good.
Guest Princess Leena Posted October 3, 2006 Report Posted October 3, 2006 Twins win tomorrow and it's all forgotten. Fight.
Guest Paul Posted October 3, 2006 Report Posted October 3, 2006 Santana's first loss at the Metrodome...game 1 of the playoffs.
naiwf Posted October 3, 2006 Report Posted October 3, 2006 NEWSFLASH: Hitting is difficult. True, but you don't have to swing at the first pitch every time. Zito was not pitching well and yet the Twins would not make him work. He threw 52 strikes and 40 balls, but most of the strikes were by the Twins being overly aggressive and popping out on the 1st or 2nd pitch of the at bat. Don't get me wrong, Minnesota didn't deserve to win this game, but some patience and a timely bunt would have given them the chance.
Guest Paul Posted October 3, 2006 Report Posted October 3, 2006 They were WAY too anxious with their bats.

Don't get me wrong, Minnesota didn't deserve to win this game, but some patience and a timely bunt would have given them the chance. The Twins absolutely were poor at the plate as a team. I'm just pointing out that you can't judge Mauer and Morneau as clutch hitters based on one game.
Guest Felonies! Posted October 3, 2006 Report Posted October 3, 2006 Twins fans cheering the ball being thrown back is just bush league. Hey, fuck off
Guest Paul Posted October 3, 2006 Report Posted October 3, 2006 Damn... They made Zito look far better than I think he is.
snuffbox Posted October 3, 2006 Report Posted October 3, 2006 That was a pretty fun game to start off the playoffs.
Vern Gagne Posted October 3, 2006 Report Posted October 3, 2006 Great game. I don't think it's unfair to say that the Twins are in considerable trouble. They'll be fine. Game 1 nerves from the lads.
