Re: Twins pennant race
I told a co-worker today that since neither the Twins or White Sux wanted to take control and win the division when they had a chance, that it would only be fitting if this game ended 1-0 in extra innings.
So I missed on the extra innings part of it. Looks like Ozzie will be around at least another year to entertain us ...
Blackburn gave the Twins more than a chance to win. I tip my hat to the kid. But the offense -- or lack of it ? The big guns have to step up when the season's on the line. Tonight they didn't.
I don't have a problem with sending Cuddyer in that situation. Not the speediest guy on the team, but Junior doesn't have the arm he once had and the throw had to be perfect. Unfortunately, it was. On the road with the season on the line, you have to be aggressive and make something happen.
I hope the Twins watched the Sux celebrate, and I hope they think about it all off season ...
Maybe it's because I've been fortunate to experience Wrigley Field, but I gotta pull for the Cubbies.
