Glad to see Nick figure it out, but it's all over.

I expect a loss at the end of the day.

I don't have a good feeling either. The team is suciking this series and Blackburn already has 89 pitched meaning maybe one inning. Plus the only options out of the 'pen might be Bass or Bonser. YUCK!

TT: A loss today would put the Twins at 9 games above .500. A bad homestand and this road trip would put them at .500. The starters are not giving you anything right now, and the relievers are running out of gas. This is not looking good for this team. I think they finish the season with 78 wins. This was a good season one way or another. It's a rebuilding year, and that's something you have to put in perspective. Of course, it will suck when the Bitch Sox win the division.

The good thing is that right now this is just a small losing streak. Hopefully it doesn't turn into anything more.

Some runs would be nice, but I am not counting on that to happen.

I think a small losing streak can turn into a big one.

This team has issues, and it's something that's not going away. The starters and the relievers are falling apart. It's hard to turn the switch if you are not that good.

Where have the two out hits gone?

Damn!

Here's where the Twins start losing it altogether.

Look at that, he threw a strike!

I hope the Twins are learning a lesson. It's hard to rebuild and win a division in the same time. You can't put young guys in a position where they have to win in September. It just does not work that way. You need to learn how to put a team together for that many years. You look at the Angels, Red Sox, and the Yankees. They keep their team together year after year, and as a result, they are a playoff team. With the Twins, you are putting new faces year after year. These kids are facing pressure for the first time, and it's not fair to them that they are in that position.

Lets pull Livan off waivers. At least he can sometimes give you seven innings. He's not afraid to use more than 100 pitches. This is disgusting how the pitching is falling apart with shorting outings.

Awesome job by Blackburn there, I'm glad he proved me wrong. And I'm also glad that I got all that venting out in the past few innings. Hopefully we can finally cap off the win, losing to bad teams really makes me mad when we've been in the hunt.

OMG!

Nick actually does a decent job in the sixth.

Can't believe he had a heart.

Nick has been one of the best pitchers, I think it's just hard to stay positive when they keep blowing leads to the Mariners. He should have more than 10 wins, hopefully we can get him one today and not blow the lead.

I don't miss Livan, TT. He has been garbage. He has showed zero leadership. The Twins signed him for his expereince. He gave them nothing in the end. He got hit hard. Teams figured him out. He stopped competing too. I hope he does well in Colorado, but he wasn't the solution. If he showed that he could win, he would have stayed. He is not a fit in the American League.
