We don't know for sure yet, but I think I'd rather have the Guillen type player with an Allen-like attitude, assuming Allen has a good attitude. Aren't middle relievers a dime a dozen in the free agent market every year? This Pena doesn't seem much better than a lot of hacks around baseball.

This is what I thought would happen with Mark when we got the 4-3 lead. Thought he'd start mowing em down. Didn't think it'd be CC settling down.

Hard to believe we have five innings worth of at bats left. Knock out CC like they finished off Mark!

A homer there woulda been the game. Thanks Dye. We're still breathing.

How many hits are we gonna give up today? What's the record number of hits in a game against us at the Cell? My god.

Funny how we get a nice laugher and it's against the Yankees. Crazy game this baseball. Too bad Detroit won. That's a problem that they've played 3 fewer games than us. We're tied in the win column. They are playing with the house's money in those 3 extra games.

He's a good prospect. How old is he, anyway? With Buehrle as his mentor, he might have done big things in Chicago.

I love Lexi, but Nix is doing well. It's Lexi's job obviously. Go Lexi.

Does bobby look good?

Kind of dumb to put in Bob though because he ought to just be throwing meat over the middle of the plate and let them get themselves out.

Obviously they want Bob to get some work with his woes of late.

I don't know how they are in first; they certainly have a lot of hacks on their pitching staff. And some weaknesses in the order obviously. WTF?

Yeah we're happy. Let anybody pitch the ninth. Somebody funky would be nice. Pick a guy, any guy.

A grand slam would be phenomenal.

Yeah I realize the dome stuff. But it is amazing how the Spankees routinely drub the Twins, even in the dome. I hope we keep this up. A four game sweep would be monumental and unexplainable to the baseball world considering the Yankees came to town on top of the world.

Is Paulie hurt big time? That would suck.

Baseball is wacky. We are owning the Yankees (albeit at home). We can't do squat with the Twins. The Yankees routinely bombard the Twins. Go Sox! Finish this one off and don't play the Sunday lineup tomorrow.

I don't get the game in kc today; the bad rays-kc game was on.

If thornton keeps this up, i'd let him close the ninth. if he blows away this guy to go 1-2-3

I bet he moves down in the order when Alexi comes back.

I hate to keep this thread alive, but Nick Swisher sucks. There I said it. Never liked him; never will. Some of you hate Wise; I hate Swish. Or really dislike Swish as a player.

Exciting day. Great game. Interesting trade.

Thanks Balta, just read your post. Makes sense.

How? He can't pitch til September. Who are we gonna trot out there in Richard's place? It doesn't help us if he can't pitch can it?

Nice job, Pena. I'm surprised the leadoff walk didn't hurt him/us.
