I can't wait for the Twins to begin division play again. I think they are ready for the Indians, Sox and Tigers now!

They are finally a team!

Posted

The Twins test to see if they matter this year is coming up in the next road trip. They win 6 out 9 agst the tribe-sox and tigers (at home) ---- watch out-- otherwise it's going to be 8-10 games behind the DIV leader and 4-6 games outta the WC for the rest of the year. With the 2 BIG Units going , they should win at least 4-- the other 2 games is going to be scary. I know Radke is pitching well,,, but if I had to take a over/under on: # of Radke HR's given up in 3 games (in the first 2 innings) or the # of days Hezbollah has before they run scared into Syria--- I'll take the over on Radke and his homeruns allowed.

I think we will do okay againt the sox and the tigers.1st game at chicago we have Radke vs Vasquez. I think we will squeeze out a win there seeing Radke has pitched extremely well over his last 5 starts. Second game we have Santana vs Contreras. I dont know which way to go on this game. Its a toss up. Last game at Chicago we have Silva vs Buehrle. I see Silva spelt LOSS. He sucks why even bother. Might as well forfeit.

Detroit we have Baker pitching the first game. Oh goody. LOSS.

Second game Liriano vs Robertson. Being we are at home I will pick Liriano. Its hard to beet Robertson and home but we can beet him at the dome especially against Liriano.

third game will be radke vs? which we will win cause Radke is very good on home turf.

So I see us going 4-2 maybe 3-3 thru the next six. It will be a test to see just how good we are playing. God what I wouldnt give for another .500 plus starting pitcher

Actually he has pitched extremely well over the last 10 starts.

I'm guessing Radke get's ripped by Chicago......call it the Due factor.... blush.gif

Ok, well if we wanna be exact he has pitched well his last 7 starts, 8 starts ago he gave up 11 hits in 5 innings to Kansas City for a 6-3 loss. Thats not very well. But anyway I guess we just have to sit back and see what happens. If we could possibly somehow sweep them we would be tied with them in the division race. I can feel it heatin up already.

Anyone got there brooms ready??

He gave up 3 earned runs in that game and 2 of them should have been unearned it's not often Tori Hunter "i know he was hurt" sucks in the outfield...

10 it is...... grin.gif

I am having the same feeling about Radke tonight, he is due to get hit hard. I hate to say it but I can see the Sox taking 2 of 3 just because the pitching we are throwing this series. Radke and Silva worry me, and Santana is a gimme but going against Contreras is going to be interesting.

question answered. Here is my take with Radke. He annouced his retirement. Weight has been lifted off his shoulders. He doesnt have to think oh I need to pitch good so I dont get traded next season. He now just wants to go out with a bang and is just throwing his heart out, out there.

I'm glad I was wrong, you do have a good point about Radke.

Radke's success of late has nothing to do with his presumed retirement it's more to do with the cortisone shot he received in his ailing right shoulder ......

Sorry.....

Posted

Radke was pitching decent even before the cortizone shot. I believe had the shot for the last 4 starts. He's been pitching well for awhile now.

My understanding is that he has a slight tear at the back of his shoulder and is pitching in pain will require surgery and he is just trying to finish out the the year. Good for him. Has been pitching well and winning. Thing about baseball it is a team game. A pitcher can lose it for you and a single player may have a hit to win it for you but a team wins many more games.

      If you fished with me more often, you'd never have to make this statement...   38" of ice - love it. I'm really going to have to dig around for my auger extension. I don't think that I've needed it in over a decade.   Too bad nobody has a locomotive chugging across the ice to do some logging, like the good old days.

      On the South Shore...  Ice fishing remains strong across the south shore of Lake of the Woods out on Big Traverse Bay.  Resorts and outfitters on some parts of the lake have ice roads extending over 16 miles staying on nice schools of walleyes and saugers.  Many fish houses are over deep mud.  Some are on structure.  It is always fishing of course, but overall, February has been very productive for most anglers.   Extensions are being used on ice augers as the ice continues to thicken.  The thick ice this year will be good for the extended ice fishing season Lake of the Woods enjoys with fish houses out through March 31st, walleyes and saugers open through April 14th and a pike season that never closes. Most fishing activity is taking place in 26-32 feet of water.  Anglers are finding a healthy mix of walleyes and saugers, with a good number of jumbo perch in the mix this year.  Some big eelpout are also showing up.  Anglers are reporting plenty of fish for fresh fish frys and usually extra fish to bring home.   The one-two punch of a jigging line and deadstick is the way to go.  On the jigging line, jigging spoons with rattles tipped with a minnow head have been consistent.  Lipless crankbaits and jigging rap style lures also doing well.     Lures with a light have been working well in the stained water.  Please remember, in MN, lures with a light or water activated light can be used as long as the battery is mercury free and the hook is attached directly to the lure and not as a dropper line.     On the deadstick, a plain hook or a small jig with a live minnow 6 inches to a foot off of the bottom.    Some days, mornings are better, other days, it's the afternoons.  There is no distinct pattern, they could come through at any time. On the Rainy River...  The start of the day and end of the day have been best for those targeting walleyes on the river. A jig and minnow or a jigging spoon tipped with a minnow head is also producing some fish. Some big sturgeon being iced by ice anglers targeting them.  It is a catch-and-release sturgeon season currently.   Although ice conditions on the river are good, they can vary significantly due to the current, so anglers should always consult local resorts or outfitters for the most up-to-date safety information and fishing advice. Up at the NW Angle...  Ice fishing has been strong in the islands area of Lake of the Woods. Resorts continue to move their fish houses around, staying on the best schools of walleyes.     Anglers are catching a nice mix of walleyes, saugers, and jumbo perch with an occasional pike or tullibee as well.     Big crappies are still being caught just over the border.  Fish houses are available, check with a NW Angle resort for info on crappie fishing.   Lake of the Woods enjoys an extended ice fishing season with fish houses on the ice through March 31st and walleye and sauger seasons open through April 14th. Perch, crappie, and pike seasons remain open year-round.

      Monday was my worst day of winter fishing on Vermilion in the last 4 years.  Caught only one 14" walleye in nearly 8 hours of fishing.  Missed two other bites and was marking very few fish.  Maybe the fish were taking Monday off after a big weekend.   No more water came up on the ice under my house.  Think it was because I haven't banked snow around it for a couple of weeks so the bare ice around the house is getting very thick.  I measured 38" of ice under my house and the Ion barely made it through even with the extension installed.  Needless to say I banked around the house this time.  Another lesson I learned today is don't drill holes if ice is frozen on your blades.  I did that on one hole and it didn't center properly and drilled at an angle on the edge of the opening.  Hope I can correct the location and angle on my next trip up.   Not much change in the surface lake surface conditions.  The drifts may be a little higher and are definitely harder.  There are still a few bare ice spots on the lake.  Very little activity on the lake today.  There are about 3 dozen houses from McKinley Park out to Birch Island.  Another person pulled there house off today, and I am sure many more will pull theirs off this coming weekend.  Only 13 days left of walleye season.

      Great looking food. So far not much of a game and I thought the halftime show was worse I've seen.
