Ranger picked a good night to come back. Read the end of the game thread for some hilarity regarding Paulie.

He's serious. He made the big out in the game. In this day and age, he's a bum (for now; fortunately in baseball they play bout every day)

The guy hit a home run and went 2-for-4. I love message boards.

There's also no way to spin how he knocked in our only two runs and got two of the team's seven hits. A split would be great; losing 3 of 4 would be pretty bad, but this game isn't Konerko's fault. Quentin, Kotsay, AJ, Lexi and Gordon go 2-for-16 in the final five slots of the order. We need a split. That game took 1:52. Amazing how fast Mark's games are.

Post of the decade.

I agree with you, but I don't think many others on a message board will agree with us. We lost ... so blow it up, baby!!!

Never a wrong time to talk about Dewayne Wise. One of my favorites. I guess Reed could be last man on a roster like Wise. I never said Wise was great, just a better ballplayer than many on here think him to be. I saw Reed play in Vegas this year. He continues to not pass the eye test.

We may have to stand pat. Hope Kenny doesn't trade any of the minor leaguers who are projected to be impactful at the big league level.

We're in the same boat we are always in. teams know we're desperate so if we are going to acquire anybody, it's goodbye to the last of our top prospects. Is it worth it to just make the playoffs? I don't like our chances of WS w/out Peavy. I guess Oswalt could take on that missing role. Dunn: It'll take our biggest minor league prospects or Viciedo/Beckham. Ozwalt: See above. It's probably not worth it. KW made too many lousy acquisitions in the offseason instead of meaningful ones.

Nice to see Cleveland beat Detroit since they've handled us pretty well all year. I think if we acquired a DH and another starter we by far are the favorites to win the division by 3 games.

Poor Reed. He's just another of the many ballplayers not good enough to make it.

That makes more sense.

People that call for Jones playing ... Stop and think about what you are asking for. It's Andruw Jones for gosh sakes.

Royals will really make us overpay for DeJesus. It would take a really bad trade on our part to get him. KC GM is under fire. He can't give us DeJesus for one or two non prospects. He'll want real prospects and David just isn't that good.

We need another starting pitcher and a big bat. Can KW get them without trading our huge parts for the future? Should be interesting.

To be a good to excellent starting pitcher for that long ... he's one of the top pitchers in franchise history. Got to love Mark Buehrle.

That RBI double was sweet, going with the pitch again. Truthfully, I thought he might do it again in the ninth, but it was very astute pitch selection to Paulie. I'd be disappointed if we don't play well in Game Three. Not a good game tonight. It'd be nice to guarantee at worst a series split by winning Saturday. Don't you agree with me that because of the loss of Peavy and lack of a good DH, this is a 3-team race all the way. The Tigers and Twins pitching also likely guarantees they won't be running away, either. All 3 teams have weaknesses that should prevent running away with it.

QUOTE (Real @ Jul 17, 2010 -> 04:27 AM) This team is seriously incapable of winning OR losing a game to the twins in normal fashion, i.e. 5-4 no errors, no miscues on defense or the other 20-something things that happened the last two nights They are without morneau and still have no problem scoring runs off of our staff I'll take 1-1 after our history in the twinkiedome where we stood no chance compared to the new park. The key is splitting this series. Losing 3 of 4 would be bad; winning 3 of 4 would be incredible. A split would be fine.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jul 17, 2010 -> 03:18 AM) Gordon, how do you not score? Testing testing. We lose. Bummer.

I woulda swing at that 2-0 pitch, but that's just me. Can we hit a gapper somehow?

With all due respect, Kotsay stinks. In all seriousness, how do I do the quote function correctly? I can't make it work.

You know Minnie will be in the race all year. Minnie always is in the race and prolly always will be. All losses hurt, William Tell.

I'm not giving up on this game, but a split in this series would be good.

I'm not crazy about Kotsay. Some people on here have had a major love affair with Jones all season.

Who are you? My dad? Ask politely.
