do we start santana before game 5?

I realize we are not done yet, and I hope we can come back on these guys. In reality Oakland has to win 1 of the next 3 games to seal the deal. Im not throwing in the towel yet and hopefully the team doesnt either, but odds are not in our favor right now.

Remember what Boston did to the Spankees last year! Gardy said if they get to game 4 they'd start Santana... atleast thats what they said on ESPN radio.

I would start Radke for #3, he'll give it his all. Problem with the team is silent bats and nerves of jell-o. I believe they can win the next game, but they are going to have to approach it all somehow differently than they have. I mean c'mon, 3 runs in 2 home games is PATHETIC!!! confused.gif

Start Radke game 3. He's the guy that's played on the road, in Oakland, during the playoffs, and played well. Tall order but I really think if anyones up for the task, it's Bradke.

HOWEVER, the rest of the fellas need to HIT THE BALL!!!!!!!

It's a typical Gardy team. They get soft the last two weeks of the season and have nothing in the playoffs.

Pretty simple here, Have to win the next one. Season is done if you don't win the next one. Nothing you can do about the first two just need to win the next one now.

Alright everyone, PMA....It CAN happen.

But not you Buzz...you start LAMBASTING 'em for the ol' reverse rooting psych.

I think they are hittin' (9 today?) so they just gotta bunch some together and DON'T PITCH TO FRANK!

I really believe the good news is the fact that the As are NOT a better baseball team. Now if the Twins can just get the mental collapse stopped. One thing is for sure. They deserve to not be given up on this year until the very last out. This team has earned that much. I can only think of a couple teams that have shown this kind of character. Geno remembers one of them.

The answer is simple...Just ask JoeBoo.

Radke is throwing Game 3. I think they should go with Silva in Game 4 and save Santana for Game 5 at the dome on Sunday. Make a few less mental mistakes like Castillo missing the bunt sign in game one and striking out looking 3 times in game 2. Hunter just keep the ball in front. Get a few guys on base BEFORE you have 2 outs. The bottom line is they have a tough task just to get it back to MN. Haren pitched the twins tough last time 1-0 A's won and Harden is probably the best pitcher on the A's staff(he is starting game 4) he has just been banged up. The gotta pitch, hit and play the d. One game at a time.... 3 times in a row....I have tickets for game 5.......don't want to have to fish instead!! cool.gif

Two days of vacation wasted watching the Twins play bad A ball. I'm going fishing, the Twins are toast. If they play Sunday I'm not going to waste my time going to the dome and watch them screw up another home game.

Hey Buzzy,

Actually, last year the Sux swept Boston.

Now, I'm gonna go cry and watch the World Series DVD because I know the Sux could have made a statement this year if they just got in.

Oh well, there's always next year.

Commanche,

I was thinking the same thing but didn't want to post it just yet. So far the Central has been punching bags to their opponents. I know the Pale Hose would have faired better against either opponent. Windy

It's very easy to "know" your team will win games you didn't even qualify to play for. I enjoyed your posts until very recently. Now get a grip and display just a little class. This isn't an MLB message board.

actually sox went 2-4 against the yanks and 3-3 against the a's this season....what was all that talk about the twins not playing well against .500 teams, the twin split with the yanks and were 6-4 against the a's, not to say the twins are doing any better now but atleast their in the playoffs

      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

      As I get older it's really not just about sending bullets down range.  Some of it's just the workmanship of the gun and the wow factor. The other two guns I have really wanted which I'll never have now because of their price, is a 8mm Jap Nambu and 9mm German Luger.   Just thought they always looked cool!

      I had a guy hit me with a lightly used 1969 BAR, he wanted $1650 with an older Leupold scope. More than I think they are worth, I made an offer, he declined end of story.   You know if you look at the old brochures, a grade II BAR sold for $250 in the late 60s, $1650 would be a good return on your investment.    Why would anybody want a 50 year old gun, they are heavy, have wood stocks, and blued metal.  I guess mainly to keep their gun safes glued to the floor. lol   You can probably buy a stainless rifle that you never have to clean, with a synthetic stock you never have to refinish, is as light as a feather, and for half as much money, perfect.   I'm too old for a youth gun, although I've shrunk enough that it would probably fit. lol   No Ruger 10/44s.   Jim
