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.

One more ball and get him the hell off the mound.

That walk sucked. Pena was mad at the one call and had no chance after that. WTF?

Boy oh boy. This station to station baseball can be tough to stomach.

Hard to believe we may not get that run in after all. Could be the game right here by Getz.

Would AJ have scored? Yes or no?

I can't read all 30 pages, but I'll skim 'em later. What's been our fan board consensus? Please summarize for me. I guess Clayton and Poreda aren't that highly thought of by our people. I sort of liked what I saw from Clayton and all we heard about in the offseasons was Poreda. I'll hope for the best. Little confusing he won't be ready until September and now we have no Clayton to start games. Don't see how that helps us this year.

If Beckham is really starting to get it defensively, there may be no need to move him back to ss. If we don't trade Lexi, that could be a good ss/3b combo for a while. It worked out for ARod. Short is a lot tougher to play. I don't care if it is Gordon's "natural position."
