Big Game Santana Tonight!!!

[Durango53]

Big game tonight for the Twins VS white Sox :thumbsup:

[Durango53]

Sounds like some pitching going on right now!!! Just got back in from mowing the lawn

[Timberwolf]

This is a very big game and a big series. It's important the Twins get this game tonight. I feel a win could get this team going in this series. If they don't win, I have a feeling this loss may deflate this team a little bit. With Cy-tana on the hill tonight, it's important to get this win tonight.

It will be the battle of Venzuelan pitchers tonight in Garcia vs. Johan. God I hope Johan beats the crap out of Garcia. Garcia is a punk like his fellow teammate, Buherle. It's funny how the Sux team can influence players to be bad human beings.

Speaking of bad human beings, I read Jim Souhan's piece on the White Sox. It was a great article and the best article that Souhan ever wrote as a columnist. I agree with him. White Sox got bunch of choke artists. I knew they would fall apart and I am so glad they are. I thought they have been overrated all season. Just exactly which great team that they have beaten. They have wilted when they play teams like the Twins, Yankees, Red Sox, Cubs, Angels, and Rangers. Jay Mariotti, my favorite columinst of the Chicago Sun-Times, really exposed that team as the losers they are in Sunday's paper. He is so right on the money. She-ca-go may be a playoff team, but come playoff time, they are 3 and out. I will enjoy it for sure.

Here is the piece:

BTW, seeing Jerry Reinsdorf, who is one of the worse owners in sports, squirm along with that loser, Hawk Harrelson is so priceless.

[Timberwolf]

Durango: Man I am sweating big time tonight and when I am sweating, it's not a great thing. Johan has done great, but Garcia has been excellent as he is throwing a no-hitter. Twins gotta get some guys on the base.

[Durango53]

Great catch for Stewart!!!!

Come on get up!

[Timberwolf]

Oh man! That was awesome. Shannon saved the day. Webgem right there! He saved a two-run HR by Knoerko and probably saved the ballgame.

Nice to see the fans give Shannon a hand.

Unfortunately, Shannon had to leave considering Jacque will not play today and tommorow due to his uncle passing away. Michael Ryan will be on the field.

A great catch, but that's the price you have to pay. Still I wouldn't want any other way.

[Durango53]

Stewart out of the game :(

[Durango53]

Change up working for Santana!!!

[Timberwolf]

It stinks, but the Twins can't afford to lose him for an extended period of time. If he can miss a game yet play tommorow, that's okay. With Jacque not being available, Twins can't afford any more guys to be absent especially Shannon. They gotta take a caution.

I am still buzzing about that catch Shannon made. That catch saved a two-run HR and the game right there.

Johan is looking awesome so far. Let's hope we can get a hit off that punk, Garcia.

[Durango53]

Joe is just a get on base guy right now

[Timberwolf]

Scoreboard update:

D-Rays lead the Tribe 4-2 (WOOHOO!)
Yankees and the Jays tied at 2. It seems the Jays pee on their pants when they play the Evil Empire as evident with the Jays leading 2-1.

[Timberwolf]

Joe is just a get on base guy right now

I hope for a two-run HR right here.

[Timberwolf]

So much for that HR. I got a DP.

Garcia seems like he is mouthing off at the Twins dugout. I guess C.C. Sabathia and Mark Buherle has a great influence on this guy. I have been watching his body language and his lips in that inning.

[Durango53]

Grab some bench!!!! Johan strikes out one more!!!

[Durango53]

1,2,3 inning for Johan

[Timberwolf]

I like He Gone better, Shad. You know what's funny? Hawk said "He Gone" the other day when Johan struck out a White Sox batter.

Johan is looking very good.

Now let's see if we can get some hits.

[Timberwolf]

No offense, but Garcia is getting a generous strike zone by the home plate ump. That was not a strike to Lecroy. I wonder if Garcia tip the umpires tonight. Johan is getting squeezed a little while Garcia is getting a genrous strike zone.

[Timberwolf]

CRAP! Indians lead the Rays 5-4.

God I don't know who annoys me more. The Indians or the White Sox. Can't stand either for sure.

Garcia is throwing a no-no.

[Timberwolf]

I swear Garcia is getting a huge strike zone that would make Eric Gregg's strike zone to Livan Hernandez pale in comparision.

Tigers beat the A's 4-1 tonight. Twins could gain a game in the WC. Indians could take the WC lead tonight if the Yankees lose.

[Timberwolf]

Johan is looking great tonight. IMO, he is the better pitcher tonight. At least, he does not have to rely on the umpire to help him with that strike zoen.

[Durango53]

Johan makes a winner of some guy in my birth Town in the Snapper Mow them down inning!!!!

[Timberwolf]

CUDDYER WITH THE DOUBLE.

Let's get this one in.

Garcia's no-hitter ends. Here's hoping he gets a loss soon.

[Timberwolf]

Good job by Brent to get Michael C to third.

Shannon will have X-Rays tommorow. Let's hope he is going to be okay and be ready for Thursday or for the weekend series at Arlington.

[Durango53]

cud at 3rd!!!!

[Timberwolf]

Nicky needs to come through now.

That was not a good at-bat by Michael Ryan BTW.

[Durango53]

Dang nice almost hit for Nick

Still leaving runners on :(

[Timberwolf]

I thought that was a HR there.

Stupid Jermaine Dye. Still that was a great catch.

Dye's catch was as good as Shannon's catch.

[Timberwolf]

After 6 innings, no score.

Garcia and Johan have been awesome all night.
Two great webgems by Shannon and Jermaine Dye. Those catches are the reason why we are scoreless.
I think the bullpen will play a role in this game like last Tuesday's game.
BTW, that was a nice acting job by Dye there.

[Durango53]

Ya I love good defense and pitching games!!!

[Timberwolf]

Yankees 3 Jays 3
A's lost
Indians 5 Rays 4

Pressure is on the Twins. I expect Yankees and the Indians to win their games.

[Timberwolf]

Johan is absoultely amazing. Dick Bremer was just speechless just now.

This is his time, folks.

Tonight, he is putting on a show and that's the fact the umps have tried to screw him a little bit.

[Durango53]

Sit them down Johan!!!! KKKKKKK!!!!!!!!!

One run could do it!!!

[Durango53]

Come on joe!!!

[Timberwolf]

Garcia still has that no-hitter in tact. I thought Cuddyer got a hit, but it was an error. God if the Twins lose and Garcia get a no-hitter, that would piss me of to no end especially since the umpire aided Garcia tonight.

Tonight is a postseason buzz. The crowd is so into every pitch and it's a great crowd.

[Timberwolf]

What a dissapointing seventh inning.

[Durango53]

Naw it adds to the excitment of the game!!! ;)

[Timberwolf]

Blue Jays lead the Yankees 4-3. WOOHOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Durango53]

Nice catch Ryan!!!!!

[Durango53]

Yankees tie....

It dont matter though the Twins are hunting the Div lead!!!

[Timberwolf]

What A Catch By Lew Ford!

What A Catch!

Omg!

[Durango53]

Lew!!!!!!!!! Nice Catch...

Hunter who?!?!?!?!!? ;)

[Timberwolf]

Lot of webgems tonight, Shad. Shannon with a fantastic catch to rob a HR by Knoerko. Dye robbing Punto of a two-run HR. Lew making a ramming catch to keep the scoreless game in tact.

Glad you are here BTW for this game thread!

[Durango53]

Ya a rare night off from nothing to do...

Got the lawn mowed and wanted to get a Twins game in...

HR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Timberwolf]

Jacque Jones With The Hr!

1-0 Good Guys!

You Can Put It On The Board! Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Durango53]

lets bring this one home!!!!!

[Timberwolf]

Shad: I am off tonight from work. I am glad I got to see this game. It was a fantastic game and I hope the good guys prevail

[Chisox73]

Out here,Hawk just said that this game is one of the best pitched games from both pitchers that he's ever seen.

[Durango53]

This is a great game!!!

[Timberwolf]

Hawk has been in baseball for such a long time. That's awesome if he feels that way. One of the best baseball games I ever watch for sure.

[Durango53]

And the Twins bring in the Hammer to nail it down!!!!!

[Timberwolf]

Dick and Bert has done a great job calling this game tonight. Bert hasn't rambled much knowing that this game is a great one. Those two have let the pitchers do the talking and let the fans do the talking with the cheers and oohs and aahs. That's the way it should be with a great game like this.

1-0 Good guys with the ninth inning coming up. Last licks for the White Sox.

[Durango53]

1 down

[Timberwolf]

I think Gardy did the right thing in having Joe pitch the ninth. This is Joe's time.

Fresh arm too.

[Timberwolf]

Yankees won. God I hate NY!

[Durango53]

Ya When you have a closer like Nathan you bring him in... And when you are pulling the sox in closer

[Timberwolf]

Joe better come through here.

I do not want to see Johan lose this game. He pitched his heart out.

[Timberwolf]

It's great to see Jacque hit that HR. Why? Because this was for his uncle, who passed away today. That HR was as dramatic as last year in the ALDS when Jacque homered the day his dad died.

Never on a web forum have I done this before, but I am actually putting you on my ignore list, it is that sad. I didn't realize how immature and ignorant some people could be, but you sure have shown me.

[Durango53]

Grab some bench!!!!!! 2 down!!!!!!

[Timberwolf]

2 outs now.

Let's get it done.

[Vince10984]

So how about my boy Jacque! LMAO!
Jacque 'Ill be watching baseball from my couch in October' Jones?

[Timberwolf]

GAME OVER!

Twins won 1-0.

What a game!

[Durango53]

Twins win again!!!

Nice win for the Twins!!

[Timberwolf]

Jacque 'Ill be watching baseball from my couch in October' Jones?

Oh what's the matter you upset that the White Sox lost. BWAHAHAHA! Twins lead the season series 5-4. Stop acting like a sore loser and just take this loss as a man. Your team wasn't that great to begin with.

[Chisox73]

It's that She-ca-go BS again.You've been told about that time and time again.

[Vince10984]

Oh what's the matter you upset that the White Sox lost. BWAHAHAHA! Twins lead the season series 5-4. Stop acting like a sore loser and just take this loss as a man. Your team wasn't that great to begin with.
Did you read what you wrote? That Garcia is a 'bad human being'

Have you met him? Have you had conversations with him? Or do you just soak in everything the media of a rival city writes about him and use their opinion as your own?

[Timberwolf]

That's how Bert Blyleven pronounce it though, Eric. I am just mocking Bert. If you have a chance to see Bert mispronounce Chicago, you will know I am just imitiating him.

I think Vince is upset about the article Souhan wrote.

[Durango53]

WOW White Sox pitcher throws a ONE hitter and gets the lose!!!! What a great game all around!!!
