jmacomber68w Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 I predict the Twins will win this world series, and then never win again until they figure out how to get a retractable roof on their new ballpark. What MLB needs is a 21st century curse. Link to post Share on other sites

IATTBYB Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 The Tigers are killing me, that 10th inning where Rayburn starts it off by botching a routine fly ball into the tying run on third with no outs and then capping the inning by gunning the dude down at home was too much. C'mon boys, win it for Ernie in the 12th. Link to post Share on other sites

uncool2pillow Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 Woot!! I don't expect the Twins will do too much against the Yankees, but I'm enjoying the moment! Link to post Share on other sites

The High Heat Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 I knew the Twins have been to the playoffs a few times the last few years, but I didn't realize they have half of the Central Division titles this decade. Very impressive, but I guess it's easy to not realize their accomplishments because they haven't been to WS with all those titles. Kind of a shame, really. The Twins do things right. I'm disappointed I didn't get to see/listen to tonight's game. It sounded exciting, and I bet it was loud as all Hell, too! Link to post Share on other sites
Sir Stewart Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 I watched innings 7-9 at a bar and followed the rest at home via ESPN's web thing (no TBS at home). The two innings I watched were incredible. Just what I hoped for: everyone bringing their A game. Wish I could've seen the whole thing.Tigers' ninth: Santiago's bunt/dive into first, barely safe, then the strikeout and followup double play that ended the inning and Nathan pumping his fist - probably the most exciting half-inning I saw all year.A Boston reporter wrapped it up well: "now the Twins are heading to New York to face the Yankees...good luck with that."

Winston Legthigh Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 A friend of mine was at the game and left a VM for me - it must have been after Orlando Cabrera's homerun put the Twins up 4-3. The voicemail sounded like he was yelling over a jet engine. Great game, and good luck to the Twins. Tigers choked it all away, and the Twins played so well down the stretch.

jenbobblehead Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 I think the best thing about the game was that it started early enough that you could go 12 gut wrenching innings and be done by 10 pm. That is magic. Link to post Share on other sites
The High Heat Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 One advantage the Angels will have on the Red Sox will be that they run alot and the Red Sox catchers cannot throw Rusty Staub out. If they get on, they will steal at will. The Rockies' catcher, Torrealba, is just as bad. He only threw out 14 baserunners all season. Today he tried to throw a runner out at third with a left-handed hitter up, and, despite having a quick release and nobody blocking his throwing angle, almost threw the ball into the left field corner. Defense usually becomes a significant factor in the post-season. Link to post Share on other sites

Moss Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 Wow, you have to feel for Matt Holliday but that was one of the ugliest outfield plays I have seen in a long time. Rockies won! Link to post Share on other sites
Moss Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 Ouch. Miss the important catch, get hit in the slats with the ball, then trip on your shoelaces and fall down. Brutal. Link to post Share on other sites
