chased chasing few trying
Now we are trying to get back up there and see if we can get back in the playoffs, so we're chasing them. They chased us for a few years and we're chasing them right now.
guys showing
We'll take them any way we can get them. The guys are showing a little life.
banging definitely guys middle runs start
We definitely need those guys to hit, that's the middle of the lineup. We need our middle guys to start banging the runs around.
nice night
We don't know where to go from here, but it was a nice night.
maybe quit worn
We battled our butts off and didn't quit playing. They had to use their closer, so maybe he'll be worn out tomorrow.
along bring bullpen dominating pitcher pressure seen situations spring throw
We want to bring him along slowly. He can be a pretty dominating pitcher out of the bullpen the way we've seen him throw in spring training. And we could put him in situations where he can go out and not have too much pressure on him.
bad good major positive sort torn
At least there's a positive in that he's not going to have any sort of major reconstruction done on the tendon or anything torn up in there. It's good bad news.
definitely feels good
It's just going to be if he feels good enough to do those things. We like to run. He'll definitely have the chances.
ball fans good heaven minnesota painful puck sure time tough twins
It's a tough time for everyone. I'm sure Minnesota Twins fans are hurting. It's very painful right now. But the good thing is that we all know where Puck is going to be -- he's going to be up in heaven whacking the ball around.
beat guys list share
It's a big list every day. It's probably no different than most teams. We've been beat up. We had a big one with Torii, and other guys off and on. We've had our share of injuries, that's for sure.
effort forth great hopefully ups
It's been a long year. We've been through a lot of ups and downs, so hopefully we'll come out and put forth a great effort this weekend.
baseball best heel pitching support year
It's been our Achilles' heel all year long. We have one of the best pitching staffs in baseball and we just can't support them offensively.
exciting manager middle
It's pretty exciting as a manager to be able to write him in the middle of the lineup.
best doubt runs scoring
It's unfortunate we're not scoring enough runs for him. He's the best left-hander in this league, there's no doubt in my mind. And, he may be the best pitcher.
