[ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] great game, nice fast pace. oakland might sweep this series. [/ QUOTE ] holy overreaction [/ QUOTE ] oakland has a large pitching edge the next two games. i imagine they will be favorites in both. [/ QUOTE ] Twins had a pretty big pitching edge today, considering Johan is the Cy Young winner and hadn't lost at home in about a year and a half. Calling a sweep is quite premature IMO.

He said they "might sweep." That's way way different than calling a sweep. It's a very real chance now, but I'd be surprised if this ends before game 4.

Shi.t I can't believe I missed this game for a MANAGEMENT test most worthless class ever, I get back from class to see Rondell fly out then I go downstairs and find out I am officially banned from Crypto. This is a Terrible Horrible No Good Very Bad Day.
We need Boof tomorrow, if we lose that game I think we are done.

Re: ***Official Minnesota Twins V Oakland A\'s playoff thread***
Just got home from the game. Questions I have:
1) 8th inning Bartlet double and Castilo @ the plate... - i think it's 50/50 on bunt v swing when he first gets up since if you noticed he had the ENTIRE side of the infield as Chavez was up and in. But I'm ok with a bunt there. -wtf did he miss and barlet fall over and almost get picked off? -why didn't he bunt again on 0-1? that made no sense to me, why should one strike change your mind? please castillo is a great bunter. i thought that was horrible baseball. 2) 9th inning. Bring in Crain? -Neschek is a right handed specialist. That's what he does. If David Ortiz is up we bring in Reyes. Brining in Neschek to pitch to Frank Thomas is the exact same thing, IMO. -crain homerun. standard 3) Twins lack of production -we had some bad at bats at first - Mauer hit a solid line drive (out) his last at bat - Morneau hit the ball hard every single time and nothing to show for it - Phil Nevin is old, fat, and bad - Rondell White baby! Ok...game 2 tomorrow. I'm ready. The A's aren't that good, the Twins just played a pretty bad game, IMO. (Not to take anything away from the A's, but we didn't get a bunt down (something we normally do), we made a strange pitching move in the 9th, we had 2 errors, we swung at a lot of bad pitches. But at least this game is out of our system.
