Bruiser Chong 0 Report post Posted October 6, 2006 Maybe it's because I'm a Cubs fan, so I sympathize with most losing, or because the Twins' run from June on was so remarkable, but I feel pretty bad for the Twins right now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Felonies! Report post Posted October 6, 2006 So much for that late-season push for the division title. Are the BB2N guys gonna say that they exhausted themselves by not "aiming for the wild card"? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Man in Blak 0 Report post Posted October 6, 2006 Morneau with a homer to cut the lead to five. You know, I hate to say that the Twins "choked" here, since they weren't necessarily overwhelming favorites, but I think it's plain to see that they're playing about as badly as they have at any point this year. Credit to Oakland for capitalizing on every mistake and completely shutting down the "pirahnas" at the plate. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest NYankees Report post Posted October 6, 2006 Congrats to the A's for winning their first playoff series of this decade. I would have never guessed that Santana, Morneau Mauer and Nathan would get swept in the playoffs. It's funny how things look so promising for your team on Monday and by Friday they are eliminated.

Guest Felonies! Report post Posted October 7, 2006 You've even sat through the Cards-Padres games with Chris Berman jabbering all of his nonsense? Like seven innings. Even I have my limits. Chris Berman, for a professional broadcaster, whose job it is to talk into a microphone, really struggles with his phrasing. That is to say, he never knows when to stop and take a breath. It boggles the mind. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
