Joe Morgan calling the A's @ Twins game. This should be interesting.

[JoeH33]

A's draw first blood on a solo shot by Thomas.

Here's a nice preview of the Twins-A's series

 

Gleeman: ALDS Preview: Twins-A's

 

Thomas didn't wait very long to flex his post season muscles, did he?

[BrewCityUnit]

Does anyone think the Twins are going to score?

[hawing]

I was just eating lunch at Memorial Union (at UW-Madison) and upon seeing more than the usual number of people wearing Twins swag...got rather jealous. I want a turn!

 

Sorry, that's kind of veering off topic.

That's actually my selfish reason for not wanting the Twins to win. I can't stand seeing all the Twins garb on the UW Campus. I'm sooo jealous.

[BrewCityUnit]

Leadoff double and you can't get the guy in....I thought only the Brewers did that? That is brutal.

[JoeH33]

Frank Thomas is a beast. Thats two HR's today.

[endaround]

Zito pitched like crap and the A's still look to win the game.

[Team Canada]

I'm not watching the game, but if I throw a 4-hitter, I'm pretty happy with myself.

[wisconsinfan47]

Zito didn't strike out as many as he is used to because in the later innnings he was taking advantage of the Twins swinging early. He had a couple 8, 9 pitch innings in there. Kendall called/Zito pitched a good game, IMO.

 

It's now the A's series.

[endaround]

The Twins pretty much self destructed at the plate. Zito couldn't place his fastball for a strike and he hung about 1/3 of his curve balls. It was ugly.

[thefutureishere2006]

shoot... game one to the a's

[thefutureishere2006]

so both branyan and belliard start for playoff teams?

 

funny stuff

[burniebrewer]

Any further word on who the Mets are starting tomorrow?

 

It was reported that El Duque either cramped up or strained a calf during a workout this afternoon and may be scratched. Last I read, they were considering John Maine the best available option if Glavine is against going on three days rest.

[Team Canada]

Anybody else checking out the new Enhanced Mode on MLB's gameday?

[brettac1]

I know that Russell Branyan will never start for a good team, or especially in the playoffs.

[Oldcity]

Why do they keep calling Branyan a young hitter?

[BrewCityUnit]

Sit DOWN Branyan....

[BrewCityUnit]

I know that Russell Branyan will never start for a good team, or especially in the playoffs.

 

 

Yeah, what is Bochy thinking.

[brettac1]

Why must you hate? It was awesome watching him help that team to the playoffs. A few clutch hits and HR's, it was great.

[thefutureishere2006]

"why call branyan young"

 

because ... berman also thinks cans of corn are getting out of the ball park

[BrewCityUnit]

I don't hate Russell, I just think its funny to watch him strike out time and time again in big situations. There is no way the Padres win this series with Branyan starting at 3rd for the entire series.

The Cards seem to have a pretty good hold on Game One- they're up 5-0 in the 6th.

 

Unfortunately, I think this will have a good impact on the rest of the series. Pujols won a good battle with Peavy to hit a two-run homer, and it seemed to turn the momentum. The Cardinals look good, but it's still only the first game. Go Pads!!!!
