Twins Club Boston

Boston has now lost five of their last six games.

It's nice to get a team on their down-swing for a change.

That first inning set the tone for the game. You get excited that the Twins scored four in the first and then you turn absolutely sick inside when you see the Sox score 5 in the bottom of the inning. The top of the second? SEVEN more runs for the Twins.

You breathe easier when Pressly takes over in the third and stops the Boston bats cold for 4 straight innings.

Then you just wait for it all to be over.

A great hitting display by one of the worst hitting teams in the American League, you think just maybe all of these guys will finally break out of season long slumps. But, realistically, you just figure that Boston's pitching last night stunk as much as it possibly could.

That seventh inning double play that killed another Twins rally was the saddest play in baseball history. I don't blame any of the Twins involved because it was the third base umpire's call. it's just too bad that the second base umpire, you know the one EVERYBODY on the field was looking at, didn't relay that information so the base runners had a chance of knowing what to do next. This is where baseball looks like such a hick-sport. Instead of a nice hit off the Big Green Monster, it became a Keystone Cops movie. Knowing we had a HUGE lead at the time made the play seem laughable. I'm just glad it didn't effect the outcome of the game at all.

The series finale is TONIGHT. Odd that it's not a day game. Correia, who was horrible his last outing, gets the nod for the Twins. Here's hoping the twins bats stay hot for one more night. They have a .500 record to defend again.
