CHICAGO -- Paul Molitor says he can look back and point to a few instances when, had things gone even a little differently, the Minnesota Twins season may not have ended up as dire as it did.But as the Twins wind down the regular season against the Chicago White Sox, the reality speaks for itself.With Friday nights 7-3 setback, the Twins dropped their franchise-worst 103rd loss, 21 more than the White Sox, who have dealt with their own disappointments this season. But as two teams finish out the string against one another starting with Saturdays game which pits Hector Santiago (12-10) against James Shields (6-18), much of the talk surrounding the Twins and White Sox centers around making a fresh start rather than playing for anything significant this weekend.I think in this particular instance to be honest, I think a lot of people are looking for a chance to kind of put this (season) to rest and take our time and do what we need to do to try and learn from whats happened, Molitor said on Friday. Hopefully (we can) start to look forward because its not going to be a lot of fun looking back.Like the Twins, the White Sox may be looking at re-tooling after a season that started with so much promise, but then fizzled out. At this point, the White Sox can at best, only get to within one game of finishing at .500. That leaves players like third baseman Todd Frazier to chase after individual achievements.Frazier, who hit his career-best 40th run earlier this week, is looking to reach the 100 RBI plateau for the first time. After going 1-for-4 on Friday night, Frazier remains two RBI short of the century mark.Manager Robin Ventura has appreciated what Frazier has brought to the White Sox in his first season in Chicago.He competes every day, Ventura said Friday. He puts it on the line every day. Hes prepared, he works hard. Hes fun. He likes coming out and having fun, but when its time to play he wants to get after it.Like Frazier, Twins second baseman Brian Dozier sits on the brink of not only a career-high statistically, but history. With one home run, Dozier would establish a new major league standard for homers for second basemen.After going 1-4 with a pair of strikeouts Friday, Dozier remains tied with Rogers Hornsby (1922 St. Louis Cardinals) and Davey Johnson (1973 Atlanta Braves) with 42 homers.Putting his name in the record book, however, isnt what Dozier is concerned with as the season wraps up.Its not like Im trying to go out there and hit one home run or (get) another RBI, Dozier said. I dont care anything about that (stuff).Im just going to play like Ive been playing. Thats not going to change anything. Im just going to go up there attacking. Its not like Im trying to hit a home run every pitch or anything. Jordan 4 For Sale Cheap . "We have always prided ourselves on the way we play defence.

ANAHEIM, Calif. -- Two pitchers who are hitting their stride as the season concludes will face each other when the Oakland Athletics meet the Los Angeles Angels on Monday night to begin a three-game series at Angel Stadium.Rookie left-hander Sean Manaea has pitched 11 shutout innings in his past two starts for the As. Veteran right-hander Jered Weaver posted his 150th career win in his last start with the Angels as he continues his finest stretch of the season.In six starts since Aug. 25, Weaver has gone 4-1 with three quality starts and 31 strikeouts in 34 2/3 innings. Before that surge, the 11-year veteran compiled an 0-4 record and a 7.01 ERA in six starts while getting just nine strikeouts and allowing opposing batters to hit .391.Everything is starting to come together, Weaver told MLB.com. Ive been able to throw the ball the way I want to, and the location of all my pitches has been where I want it to be. Its been promising.Weaver has been fighting numerous physical problems and declining velocity for three years. But in a testament to his resiliency, the three-time All-Star secured his 150th career win Wednesday night against the Texas Rangers. In six innings, Weaver allowed four runs, six hits and two walks while striking out six in the 5-4 victory.He has been incredible for a long time, Los Angeles manager Mike Scioscia told MLB.com. Hes part of the heart and soul of what weve done. Its great to see him reach some milestones.Weaver ranks second to Chuck Finley in career victories for the club. Finley won 165 games bettween 1986 and 1999.ddddddddddddManaea, who missed the first two weeks of September because of a strained back, scattered just three hits and a walk while striking out five and throwing 67 pitches during five scoreless innings in his return Sept. 14.The left-hander combined with three other pitchers in an 8-0 rout of the Kansas City Royals, the team that originally signed Manaea three years ago before sending him to the As last year in a three-player trade for Ben Zobrist.He was great, Oakland manager Bob Melvin told MLB.com afterward. It didnt look like he had any time off.In this next start on Tuesday night against the Houston Astros, Manaea collected seven strikeouts in six innings while conceding just two walks and three hits. But the Astros rallied for a 2-1 win in 10 innings.That was one of his best outings of the season, As reliever Sean Doolittle told MLB.com, and to squander it is incredibly frustrating.When Manaeas rookie season began, he lost three of his first four decisions. Now as it ends, the left-hander possesses a newfound confidence that he seeks to refine.At the beginning of the season, I didnt really trust my stuff and I was shying away from contact, Manaea told MLB.com. Now it just seems like Im pounding the strike zone and I want those early contact swings. Thats been a huge difference from the beginning of the season until now. I feel like Im doing a pretty good job of that. cheap falcons jerseys cheap ravens jerseys cheap bills jerseys cheap bears jerseys cheap bengals jerseys cheap cowboys jerseys cheap lions jerseys cheap texans jerseys cheap colts jerseys cheap jaguars jerseys cheap chiefs jerseys cheap rams jerseys cheap dolphins jerseys cheap vikings jerseys cheap saints jerseys cheap giants jerseys cheap jets jerseys cheap eagles jerseys cheap steelers jerseys cheap 49ers jerseys ' ' '
