......hopefully the twins will win today and send you back to NYC w/o another broom.

Worthless thread I know, but I had to vent a bit.....

Twins had chances last night...they just kinda got blasted Tuesday night

I hate the Yankees more than anything but the Hawkeyes and Huskers.

They are still underachieving in my book with their money and players they have.

Wait until the playoffs start and Sabathia wilts under the pressure.

I sure would feel better with the sox having a 2.5 game cushion going into the metrodome starting tomorrow....

I guess I'll see if that happens or not

Yup, we definitely had our chances last night, even with the rookie (Sworzak - sp?) starting in place of Perkins.

I just hope Liriano can hold down the fort today and we won't have to play catch up again......ughh......DANG YANKEES!!!

Rookie pitchers can occasionally be a blessing. A month or so ago the Yankees got dominated by the Nats and Marlins during a span of 8 days where they'd never seen the starting pitcher before that game. They didn't exactly light up Sworzak last night either...

Today's game could have a loooooottttt of offense. Liriano hasn't exactly been all world this year and Aceves has been in the 'pen all year. Then again, both could show up with their A-game and it'll be a pitcher's duel. I'd however bet there's more offense than pitching.

Aceves is on a 65 pitch count today. Hopefully the Twins can get a couple early runs and get to the bullpen even sooner than they're are planning on today.

I wish they'da just let Hughes start.

**CyDude16** · 07-09-2009, 11:54 AM

Yankees suck, and i love watching all the underachieving by this team...

**RayShimley** · 07-09-2009, 11:56 AM

Twins will win, put it on CyBookie!

**IcSyU** · 07-09-2009, 11:57 AM

I actually don't think they're underachieving against anyone other than Boston (something like 0-9 or 1-8 or something on the year). The Rays need to get outrageously hot to catch either the Yankees or Red Sox, who have been awesome this year even without the services of their front of the rotation guys (Daisuke and Wang).

And CyDude16, let's talk underachieving. The Cubs.
