9th Inning FG can't put Sox over the hump


Down to Earth

Recommended Posts

Despite missing an extra point in the 3rd inning the Twins managed to pull out a 20-14 win this afternoon. Are you kidding me? I bet the Vikes and Bears don't score that many in each of their games this season.

Was that some truly pathetic pitching today? 39 hits? I was waiting for Ozzie and Gardy to pitch an inning. It couldn't have been any worse. And five errors for the Sox. When's the last time a team had 18 hits, and were never really in the game? If that wasn't their worst game in decades, it had to be right up there.

Fins,

Are you kidding me? One Sided? The score was 20-14!!! I wonder what the Twinks record would be for the year if they gave up 14 runs every game. One Sided? Spinner would be more on the right track with pathetic. I don't know of too many Twink fans who would sleep tight knowing that their pitchers were going to give up two touchdowns every game.I think some of your compadres out there can come up with some better words than one sided. OK guys....Fire Away!

That was a serious two-game beat down. But that is going to be hard on the Twins with Redmond hurt and Mauer needing a day off tomorrow...I wonder if Redmond will try to play, or if the Twins will make a roster move...

Most people would consider 12-0 a one sided game. The afternoon game could be called "pathetic', or "disgusting", or "slugfest" , or just "poor pitching", or in the W.S. case "poor defense", take your pick! Whichever you choose, it is 2 wins for the MINNESOTA TWINS! smile.gif

the key was "tonight's game".- at least for those with a 2nd grade level of english and above. still 32-14 in runs scored for the day, and 12-0 in one game = big time beating.

windy- at least the cubs lost-- and I mean on friday for correct grammar for those lacking in that field.

Tonights game was one sided as Morneau's 3 homers led the way.


Yes, now game two was a beat down. Although a W is a W in the standings, I couldn't enjoy game one when the Twins struggled to hold a ridiculous lead. That looked like a Reds-Nats pitching performance, not a contending team. But on the bright side, Garza is certainly showing improvement.

Well that had to be the most "one sided" series split I have ever seen. Funny game, that baseball game!

that is a good way to put it. man, what a weird series. Entertaining however. I do like games like these once in ahwile. i get sick of 1-0 and 2-1 games in a hurry.

by the way, what has happened to Jermaine Dye?

Not sure Dawg,

Some people think he might be on the trading block. Some people think he is doggin it after he signed his deal. I have never been a huge Dye fan but he was hot in 05!

One sided series? winning 6-3 and 3-1 is no way close to winning 12-0 and 20-14 even though they split the low point of the season for the Sox's has got to be two back to back snack downs within hours of each other. The 20-14 game as I saw it was the Twins just putting runs on the board when they needed them almost like a church softball game.. Only thing good about the Sox's is Ozzie

Bobby,

That's why I put the post in, are you reading the words. I think it is funny that a team can get beat down so bad in a 4 game series and walk out of it with exactly the same number of wins and losses as the team doing the beating. Hence, my comment of baseball being a funny game.

      I'm not there, so I can't tell exactly what's going on but it looks like a large area of open water developed in the last day with all of the heavy snow on the east side of wake em up Narrows. These two photos are from my Ring Camera facing north towards Niles Point.  You can see what happened with all of snow that fell in the last three days, though the open water could have been wind driven. Hard to say. .

      Black Bay had great ice before but a few spots near rockpiles where there were spots of open water. It looks like the weight of the snow has created a little lake in the middle of the bay.

      On the south end...   Thanks to some cold spring weather, ice fishing continues strong for those still ice fishing.  The bite remains very good.  Most resorts have pulled their fish houses off for the year, however, some still have fish houses out and others are allowing ATV and side by sides.  Check social media or call ahead to your favorite resort for specifics. Reports this week for walleyes and saugers remain excellent.   A nice mix of jumbo perch, pike, eelpout, and an occasional crappie, tullibee or sturgeon being reported by anglers. Jigging one line and using a live minnow on the second line is the way to go.  Green, glow red, pink and gold were good colors this week.     Monster pike are on a tear!  Good number of pike, some reaching over 45 inches long, being caught using tip ups with live suckers or dead bait such as smelt and herring in 8 - 14' of water.   As always, work through a resort or outfitter for ice road conditions.  Safety first always. Fish houses are allowed on the ice through March 31st, the walleye / sauger season goes through April 14th and the pike season never ends. On the Rainy River...  The river is opened up along the Nelson Park boat ramp in Birchdale, the Frontier boat ramp and Vidas boat ramp.  This past week, much of the open water skimmed over with the single digit overnight temps.   Areas of the river have popped open again and with temps getting warmer, things are shaping up for the last stretch through the rest of the spring season, which continues through April 14th.   Very good numbers of walleyes are in the river.  Reports this week, even with fewer anglers, have been good.  When temps warm up and the sun shines, things will fire up again.   Jigs with brightly colored plastics or jigs with a frozen emerald shiner have been the desired bait on the river.  Don't overlook slow trolling crankbaits upstream as well.   Good reports of sturgeon being caught on the river as well.  Sturgeon put the feed bag on in the spring.  The bite has been very good.  Most are using a sturgeon rig with a circle hook loaded with crawlers or crawlers / frozen emerald shiners. Up at the NW Angle...  Ice fishing is winding down up at the Angle.  Walleyes, saugers, and a number of various species in the mix again this week.  The bite is still very good with good numbers of fish.  The one two punch of jigging one line and deadsticking the second line is working well.   Check with Angle resorts on transport options from Young's Bay.  Call ahead for ice road guidelines.

      With the drifting, kind of hard to tell for sure, but I'm guessing about a foot and still lightly snowing. Cook end!

      How much snow did you get on Vermilion? 
    • Mike89
      lake here refroze too...  started opening again yesterday with the wet snow and wind...  very little ice left today...
    • Hookmaster
      A friend who has a cabin between Alex and Fergus said the lake he's on refroze. He texted me a pic from March 12th when it was open and one from 23rd when it wasn't. 🤯
    • SkunkedAgain
      I don't think that there has been any ice melt in the past few weeks on Vermilion. Things looked like a record and then Mother Nature swept in again.   I'll give my revised guess of April 21st
