I was at last nights 9-3 drubbing. It was an awesome game to be at. In my opinion, the Twins have to sweep the Sox to get into the playoffs. They have some momentum going and rarely lose to the Sox at the Dome. The season may come down to tonight's game. So I think this is a terrible spot for the Twin's to be relying on Blackburn. Guillen made some rotation moves in order to get his top 3 throwing against the Twins. Gardenhire did not do anything with the starting rotation and now Liriano is not pitching in this series. Hopefully the Twins can pull it out again and make this next week exciting.

Like the W.Sox tonight but BOLComment -
have a feeling that the sox blow this year one way or another... honestly i'm astounded they have limped this far with a division lead.... the feeling in chicago, is that the sox are gonna choke for sure...its almost as if the cubs have transferred the jinx from the northside to the southside. and after all the crazy breaks and flukes that helped the sox on their way to the 05 title, I think this year things will even out.
no play on this game, but if I had to I would take the twins.... sox are feeling too much pressure..Comment -
on twins it is a must win for them and the crowd will give them the spark they need to win this game IMO.Comment -
just looking at some of the stats closer, over might be a good play here...
both pitchers have been lit up when they faced their opposition tonight
blackburn has been struggling lately anyways (maybe some dead arm issues)
and in 4 starts vs sox this year 6.14 era 1-2 .322 batting avg against..
but blackburn is a lot better at home this year (2.92 era 7-3)
buehrle has been pitching alot better as of late..and he seems to me to be a pitcher (unlike vasquez) who can bear down and focus in a pressure filled game
but in 3 starts vs minn he has a 5.79 era and is 1-2 with a .308 avg.
still not real clear on if there is a play hereComment -
fyi
ump behind plate avg's 10.38 runs per game and has 18 overs to 12 unders this yearComment -
I'm not betting on this game but I think the over is the most solid bet.
MJF, the crowd was crazy last night. It will be another big crowd tonight. Like I said before though, Blackburn has to be on tonight. He might get lit up.Comment -
This one goes Over rather easily. Five runs in the FF, then 6-7 runs in the 2H.Comment -
Go Whitesox!!!Lets get itComment -
Buehrle walks two and gives up a 395ft out. 1-0 Twins after 1.Comment
