Wow they relieved Duensing with Slowey, guess they are trying to win this game, hope they don't kill the bullpen before we get swept by the Yankees.

The old reverse psychology trick huh?

Not really, more than a little pissed at the Twins, although that was a nice win at home today after falling behind 4-1 early, wish they hadn't had to go so deep into the bullpen to do it though.

Sure, Mr. roll his eyes at every single post dissing the over-rated Yankees. That may be the ugliest post-season series this year, still think the dang Yankees will win.

Don't play that reverse psychology nonsense on me. I'm on to your diabolical scheme.

They could come back, how badly do they need that one? We came back from down 4-1, clutch performance by our bullpen to hold on until Alexi Casilla hit a 2 RBI single. Kid was the hero of the day with 4 RBI to help us beat the Jays.

Dang they already yanked the starter, Navster had me convinced the Giants had one of the best pitching staffs in baseball.

I'm of the opinion that owners like those of the Pirates should be kicked out of MLB.

Hell I didn't even look at it from that standpoint, but yeah your right.

And a big thanks to the Giants for losing and for giving baseball fans an exciting series that might come down to the last day!

What a great way to end the season! This is what baseball is all about. Hopefully the Pads and Braves pull it out tomorrow to force some Monday goodness.

[Wingman1977]

Well, we took the 1st game. Hopefully AJ remembered how to pitch so we can take 2 (yeah, I know I'm asking for a lot from him).
