Coming off a very dissapointing series with Boston, particularly after winning game 1, the Tribe heads to Target field.

Minnesota, imo, is the worst team in the MLB, so they have to take advantage here, and every time they play each other.

Game 1 is tonight at 8:10pm from Target Field.

Starting pitchers:
Tribe - Jenmar Gomez (4.66)
Twins - Carl Pavano (5.02)

And for the record, though Im sure everyone is aware. This is a 2 game set, followed by a 2 gamer versus Seattle (of course, we draw King Felix).

If they hit like they did this weekend we could draw Felix the Cat and it wouldn't matter.

If anything can cure our starting pitching woes, it should be the Twins lineup.

Hopefully for you guys, Ryan Doumit starts behind the plate for the Twins. That'll give you some extra bases!

They gotta sweep the Twins and take 1/2 from Seattle, minimum.

Agreed. Gotta beat up on teams like the Twinkies.

I do not believe what I have just seen.

And Choo gets HBP. What else is new?

Choo needs to embrace all the free bases he's gotten from being HBP.

Choo needs to petition the league for his HBP to count as base hits.

Damnit Pestano. But then, why Hagadone and not Joe Smith with the right handers coming up for the Twins.

Come on. I show some faith, put him in my top 10, and he rewards me for my vote of confidence.

See my post to start this thread. I think they are the worst in baseball.
