***Twins @ Tribe 6/4-6/6*** Cleveland's last stand.

[boxter432]

Meatball

This is no bueno.

And another.
Indians can’t hit and now have 4.

[Miley Cyrus]

It was a good run.

[A Kickass Offense]

i'm kind of surprised rocco sent alka-smeltzer man out there for the 7th.

Elite baseball take from WF.

[A Kickass Offense]

It was a good run.

He actually pitched fairly well.

Twins offense limp dicked him yet again though.

[weimy froob]

rocco needed to be satisfied with six good innings and then go to the pen.

[Jimtown guy]

Speed kills

[boxter432]

I don’t think I’ve seen Polanco look so bad. 92/3 mph and he wasn’t even close and swung out of his gear.

And these pitches to Cruz should have been hit 420ft but bat is stuck to his shoulder until the last pitch that was 3 feet above the zone. Wtf.

[A Kickass Offense]

Ump rings up Kepler on a pitch that wasn’t a strike to help snuff out a Twins rally.

Fuck this guy.

[A Kickass Offense]

I don’t think I’ve seen Polanco look so bad. 92/3 mph and he wasn’t even close and swung out of his gear.

The umps inconsistent strike zone is fucking with them.

Hard to blame them.

[boxter432]

even if there isn't a come back, at least we didn't have to blow through the pen, and berrios will stop the "bleeding" (1 game) tomorrow night!

[boxter432]

gross.

how many times have we been outbomba'd?

[feekdogg]

Just chalk this one up to a weird night in MLB. Miami is up 15-0 on Brew Crew in Milwaukee. ChiSox put up 5 runs on Strasburg right out of the gate and now trail 9-5. Boston is getting shut out by Glenn Sparkman and the Rays started Snell in Detroit and are losing 9-2.
On to tomorrow.

[Jimtown guy]

Win some lose some and fortunately for the Twins they win twice as many as they lose

[boxter432]

Wait!!!!

What was that promo about a ticket and a beer for $15?


That caught my eye.

"First Drink is on us"
$15 for a SRO (I think..it's called ballpark access, assuming that just means SRO) and a prefilled card with $10 to use at concession stand.
neat, but since its sponsored by bud it's kind of a lie since good beers are $10.50...

In a 162 game marathon, you're going to have a few nights like this., no matter how good you are.

[Miley Cyrus]

Not expecting the guy to be anything more than a Brian Duensing or Tommy Milone, but yeah, teh Biebs got the best of 7 out of the 9 hitters.

[Sidewinder2k2]

This is not even a bad loss, it's our #5 rookie starter against a guy that is now their #2 starter on the road. Kid didn't get his brains beat in, he just got victimized by the long ball and he still got into the 7th.

[Self High-Five]

Correct...You'll win 60 and lose 60. It's what you do with the other 42 games that will define you as a team.

I think Tom Kelly said something like that.

Those two had ok careers. Hell, Milone is still pitching in the big leagues. He just pitched on Saturday for Seattle.

well I am not one to cap us at 102 wins when we are still on pace for 109-10

Almost forgot about Milone til I saw he was going up against Lynn last week. Maybe Andrew Albers is a closer comparison.

[The Replacements]

I hate days off when you're playing well.

What about the former great Twins LHP Scott Diamond?

Kinda vague.....
I honestly hope it's no big deal.

[Sidewinder2k2]

Not good. I hope everything works out for him and they can get him right. Is this possibly the reason that such a talented pitcher like him has had such a poor year?
