Twins lost three out of four to the white-hot A's this afternoon. It was the same ol' same ol'. I hope you know what I am talking about when I mean same ol' same ol' because I ain't repeating about how they lost anymore. You know the drill now.

The good news was that Kyle pitched a darn good ballgame. He was fantastic. Eventually, every dog has its day so it was Kyle's turn to have that day. Now let's see if he can do it again in his next start. I am hoping he can finish the year strong so the Twins can get trade him and get something for him if that's humanly possible.

Justin has started to hit which is good even though it maybe too little too late now.

Jason Bartlett did not have the series he wants, but I want him to continue to play and grow. There is no point benching him or platooning him. I don't care if he is batting .040. He has to play a lot.

What has happened to Jesse Crain? He has been so inconsistent all year and he is just not getting anyone out.

I hope the A's go to the playoffs. I admire the way they go out and play. The Twins sure can learn from them. Twins used to play like that.

Wins are going to be so hard to come by for the rest of the year so when the Twins win, enjoy em. It does not get easy as the World Champs come to town this weekend. This could get real ugly with the Red Sox Nation making the most noise.

I don't know if there are more than a handfull of Red Sox fans in the whole state, so I would expect the Dome to be the same as it always is.

Red Sox fans travel everywhere. Believe me. Fenway Park is always sold out so what the fans in New England do is go travel on the road to see their team.

Red Sox have a huge following all over the country. In NJ, we got lot of Red Sox fans here. I know several Sox fans in my block. In fact, more Red Sox fans than Mets fans. The pecking order of baseball fans in the NY/NJ area are Yankees, Red Sox, and Mets fans.

Red Sox fans don't travel to Minny. We really only travel to Florida, Cali, warm locales outside. Winter sucks here, why would we want to go to a dome? :D

You guys OWN us at Minny. I'll be shocked if we get 1 win.

Well I see lot of Sox fans on the road whenever they were on the road no matter where they are. Last year, I saw lot of Sox fans at the Dome.

When the Red Sox play the Expos and the Blue Jays in Canada, I see more Red Sox fans than the Canadan fans. There are lot of Red Sox fans in NYC. In fact, there is a bar in downtown Manhattan which is dedicated to Red Sox fans.

There are a few Red Sox fans around but MN is a long way for coast fans to travel. TV coverage has a tendency to show the opposing teams fans, no matter how many there are, since they usually stick out.

As I've said before, the only team that really brings any quantity of fans to the Dome is Milwaukee.
