Re: Minnesota Twins 2010 Season Thread
My optimistic thoughts towards the postseason are spiraling downhill in a hurry. Can they quit giving up 10+ runs per game? I'd feel better if they were losing 2-1 because I know the lineup has been in shambles for over a week. I can't imagine that the starting pitchers have mailed it in. I would think they would want to stay sharp.
They could have easily clinched home field by now. It's good the Yankees and Rays have not played well in the last week either which gives some hope, but if the starting pitching is going to be this poor against either of of those two, it's first round and done...again.

Re: Minnesota Twins 2010 Season Thread
The 'virtual waiting room' for postseason tickets finally panned out for me today (for the first time ever). If the ALDS goes 5 games, I'll be at Target Field for the clincher!

I'm a little surprised they have the best record in baseball, but not surprised that they won the Central. They easily have the best roster in the division as I said in the first post in this thread

They're 3-5 against Tampa for the year, but only 1-3 at home.
Personally I think the Twins would fare better against the Rays in the first round, but then they have to hope Cliff Lee can take out the Yankees. I'm convinced they are still psyched out by the Bombers, even though they finally beat them this year. Josh Hamilton with broken ribs isn't going to help Texas against NY, though.
The Twins have dominated Texas at home (not so much there). But they would have home field (brrrrr) against Texas. That's the ideal ALCS.

As long as the Twins dont completely fall apart, they should open up at home against the Rays. As the Rays have dropped a couple games to the Yankees and now trail by 2.5 games. I hope the Rays win the East and we can open up at home vs the Yankees. Our best shot I believe would be a short series at home vs the Bronx Bombers. We were 2-4 against the Yanks and those games were early and we were 3-5 vs the Rays with those games being in the middle of the season.

Re: Minnesota Twins 2010 Season Thread
they need to get the home field to have any chance, i think. they were 2-4 against the yankees and 1-6 against the rays. they'll be playing one of them in the alds.

Minnesota Twins, 2010 Central Division Champions.
Now, maybe this year they can win in the playoffs.

Bring on the Rays...please. Go Yankees. I just threw up in my mouth a little.
The Twins deserve their division win but the Sox have been professional, courteous, and respectful all year. Konerko, epitomizes this, getting hit in the face with a pitch, next at bat homers, next day says he didn't think Pavano was throwing at him. How many other teams or players play with that type of integrity. You may like to dis the Sox but just like the Twins, they play the way your supposed to.

Heard Crain talking a while back and he said that he compared video from when he was going good to when he was going bad. Found a couple very minor mechanical adjustments and things started working again.

If the Twins go 9-9 the last 18,the White Sux need to go 16-2 to tie ! It was amazing to see the fans cramming the exits after their CF dropped that fly ball with the bases loaded.
