vs. TWINS, 8/21

[LA2]

Is it me, or is there no killer instinct with this team as they move down the stretch?

This game proves to me, that while in high school, I could have stepped on a major league mound and won a game. I had the same makeup a Milone does RIGHT NOW.

I felt a lack of it during the 2013 stretch run, maybe.

If we don't play better in this series our season is in trouble based on whats ahead.

Can't really perdict.A's flew all night after losing 4 to the Orioles. Beat the Dodgers two straight. First game was extra innings and next a day game.

Lead off double for the Twins

Parra has a freaking arm!!!!!!!

[MdSooner]

Why bunt there?

Pop up to Manny

1 out

And this is where we give it all away.

Sir, please step off the ledge and back inside. We can talk our way through this.

Chen is way more tired than the pitch count I think.

I've been following this team since 1996, and in that entire period, it seems that lefty junkball starters have given this team fits. I don't understand how a team can perpetually struggle against the same type of pitcher. Aren't major league hitters supposed to be able to recognize and hit a changeup?

[LA2]

I would think Buck considers Parra a nugget.

6-3

Grounder to the SS

#9 hitter up

This is the problem being such a bad road team, little margin for error.

And considering they can't beat good teams, they have to win this series against Minnesota. Minnesota was 9-21 in their last 30 games coming into last night. They curb stomped the Orioles last night and are ahead 1-0 in the 6th right now and this team has looked lifeless for all 15 innings of the series so far. Simply not acceptable.

6 innings, 1 run. Anyone terribly unhappy with Chen's performance tonight simply has their expectations set way too high.

Save your disappointment for our pathetic offense.

Brutal offense. BRUTAL.

Chen doing his job.

I write what I want. You are welcome to do the same.

Now, we can all feel a little bit better.
