At least score a run!!

Also Blackburn pitched great last night. Just one hanging to a vet was the game all in all the season was fun and am looking forward to next year!

cuddy over kubel in the line-up had nothing to do with the outcome of the game.

I agree.

Tough seeing them lose that way ... but it was worth watching just to see Cuddy take out Pierzinski!!!

Congrats to the TWINS once again on making it interesting despite playing teams like Chicago choked full of vets and 2x the payroll ($59 mill vs $120 mill). They gave us way more entertainment this season than any team in there situation had a right to.

After losing Johann, Tori and most of their fielding positions, I think many of us were thinking that we would be happy to be above .500, instead they almost pull off winning the division.

I can't wait for next season when all of their key players should be returning. Gardy is way over due to have everything come together at the right time to get us back a World Series Championship. My bet is on the Twinkies for 2009!!

For what its worth, heres my take. Cuddy over Kubel, gives a left handed option for a ph (didn't work). Loved the Lefty being used and used for more than the 1 batter. Cuddy/AJ play, had to be done.

Didnt like : not stealing, not many baserunners but it is AJ.

Not pinch hitting for Punto in the 8th. Could have left Harris to run and play ss and had Tolbert/Bucsher at 3rd. Reason? I thought we needed an extra base hit at that time. Probably would have went with Redmen.

The 6 pitch 7th with Mauer,Justin and Cuddy wasn't great either.

Oh well, I may have to like Punto a little better next year. Decent year but still a utility player.

I know, everyone has issues, but please SCORE A RUN!!! It is just tough to sit and watch when you don't even give yourself a chance to win.

Punto is a free agent, so we'll see! For some reason I can see the Twins letting him walk and plugging Tolbert into the "play anywhere" utility guy because we are cheap.

Unfortunately, after not running until 0-2 in the first inning and Casilla lining into a double play, I figured we were in for a long night.

Good season for the Twins.... I just wish the SOX weren't the ones in the playoffs!

"Why does the stats of this game count against the season stats?"

The game is considered an extension of the regular season and not a true playoff game. Regular season stats apply. Just the way it is and always has been.
