QUOTE(Jordan4life_2006 @ Jun 19, 2006 -> 01:01 AM) Twins' offensive rankings: Runs=11th Hits=10th HRs=13th SLG%=12TH That's not gonna change anytime soon. Be careful what you say. Just a couple post above you just said noone expected the Indians to have the bad pitching they are having this season. I'm just giving you a heads up..

The Tigers are almost on top of the league in every reasonable statistic except hitting. This is also considering their best record in all of baseball I don't know how the hell (unless they put the sox there who are 5-1 against them) can they not be #1.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Jun 19, 2006 -> 12:53 AM) Nearly would have been a better word than basically. Ya my bad. Good call. I've been out of school for a year now and I'm going back this summer so I'll work on my grammar..

Why the Tigers are not number 1 just boggles the mind...

I love comparing Garland and Erstad (the two who were basically traded for one another) almost all the time as players. Both are mediocre, both have and probably will, live off one GREAT season, then turn back to mediocre (good lookin contracts for both after that GREAT year) Been saying that ever since this season ever started (I wanted to look stupid as Garland proved me wrong, hasn't happened yet) And both are getting overrated quite a bit. (Erstad's D, Garland's potential)

QUOTE(peanut33tillman @ Jun 18, 2006 -> 09:20 PM) At least 2 out of 3?? Wow....little overconfident here are we chief? This Cardinal team is a very good ballclub with or without Albert They are a pretty good team, but I know everyone in their right minds know they are a completely different team when Pujols is in the line-up. That man is a beast. Completely changes a team's strategy or a game.. period.

QUOTE(BobDylan @ Jun 19, 2006 -> 12:22 AM) Exit Millwood, exit balance. I can't see how Cleveland didn't see that coming. I still don't believe they knew how much of a loss Coco Crisp was. He really got them going in that lead-off spot. Nothing against Micheals (or even Sizemore leading off) but that was a HUGE lost. Crisp-Sizemore-Blake would have killed us (and every other AL team) defensively.

I wonder who is going to win the A.S. game this yer to set it up for the sox again...?

Just copied this from knight's sig. About 3 months away from proclaiming Myself, Rowand, Greasy, and DBAH0 as geniuses. It ain't over yet, but it's looking good even though I didn't agree that the twins would win the WC. Sig bet with Rowand44 12/29/05: Finishing higher in the AL Central in '06: Rowand44 - Twins knightni - Indians Wanna side with me or Rowand44? PM me. Indians: knightni, 3E8, rangercal, ScottPodRulez22, TheBigHurt, chitownsportsfan, rventura23, Felix, Texsox, SoxFan1, santo=dorf, sayitaintso, Jordan4life_2006, TheDudeAbides, Steve9347 Twins: Rowand44, DBAH0, greasywheels121, SoxAce PS - He also thinks that the Twins will win the WC. I say they could get passed by Detroit and fall into 4th.

I'd tell ya what, I'll look nice seeing a nice young group of trio (Buehrle-McCarthy-Madson) for a long time. Add some vets like Count and Vazquez for a couple years, wait for a Broadway/Lumsden/McCulloch to develop and this team is really lookin good with or without Garland/Garcia. But I don't really want to look to the future too much.. Every sox fan should enjoy what we are seeing in our lives with this team, this century.

Well.. you'll have some fans here since you introduced yourself in the Sex, Lies, and Music forum.. Welcome aboard..

Josh Howard..

QUOTE(danman31 @ Jun 18, 2006 -> 11:22 PM) De Los Santos 2-4.

The Reds' fans are seriously giving us props. They are praising our team for executing on the fundamentals and playing great D and always calling us the Champs. I like it.

No Pujols=no problem..

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Jun 18, 2006 -> 05:49 PM) Fixed. This is why I need to go back to school..

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Jun 18, 2006 -> 05:42 PM) He hit a blast last year in interleague play. He's also been praised ALOT by Cleveland's ownership, some announcers around baseball and by C.C. himself. He could hit 2 times better than Dontrelle Willis/ Mike Hampton which is saying something. He is that good.

Garland's era went from 6.01 to 5.58 (-.59) lower thanks to this outing.

If Mariotti is a hineybird, what nick-name should this guy be?

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Jun 18, 2006 -> 05:23 PM) I sort of wonder sometimes whether or not there might be a couple of pitchers in the AL who might be able to hold together a .250 average if they were given the chance to hit every now and again. I'll tell you one cat... C.C. Sabathia is a hell of a hitter. FWIW.

QUOTE(danman31 @ Jun 18, 2006 -> 12:42 AM) It was a rough game to watch with my two favorite teams facing each other Felt that same way when The U.S. faced Mexico. Very, Very hard to watch.

QUOTE(Maverick0984 @ Jun 18, 2006 -> 11:27 AM) Pablo has 1 career home run, i love the guy, but he\'ll never hit for a cycle. With his speed, he could get lucky and have a ball hit a part of a pole or something, then see it bounce around and he can get an inside-the-park homerun. If Konerko can do it, anyone can do it.

QUOTE(Maverick0984 @ Jun 18, 2006 -> 11:22 AM) no crede Or BA... I'm very surprised Widger isn't starting considering he caught Garland his last start when Garland pitched pretty well.

Anyone know if the hot bats (Anderson, Uribe) are starting? I know Thome is today.

QUOTE(Dam8610 @ Jun 17, 2006 -> 11:16 PM) But that's a great hitter, isn't it Victor Martinez? Whoa.. don't compare a .293 career hitter to a .258 career hitter ever again. Victor can go hot and cold, but not like Uribe.
