MurcieOne

we've had this discussion many times before...... old news.

After sounding the alarm bell practically after the first KC series and taking some heat for being "too negative" on these boards.....I have been strangely positive ever since, especially after Minnesota series in which we got swept, but could have easily--familiar refrain, isn't it---taken 2 out of 3. We are healthy (knock on wood) and are FAR from out of it. GO SOX, WOOOO!!!! My feelings exactly

If you cant figure out what to do on a 75 degree day in summer IN THE GREATEST f***ING CITY ON EARTH...... you shouldn't live. My suggestion: Suicide

i know it's a hard thing to do with our team 7.5 out..... but lets givem the benefit of the doubt and support em till the Twins Magic Number is 0. I still have faith that this team will be the 2003 AL Central Champs. - Murcie Out

I got 31 my first time..... you all are mental midgets before me.

Im gonna name mine Roman in honor of u.

even the Marte one...... I cant really argue... Marte has been the only day in and day out reliable reliever this year.

I think he wanted to build excitement for the 5 run btm of the 9th that never came.

All this time spent commiting internet fraud and he still has time to f*** 8 girls in school during class....... how does he do it?

Just in case anyone was wondering....... The J. in Mark J. Jacobsen -- The name i use when i publish work for this site -- is Joseph.

So what's your point? As a Texas Lit major, you should now of all people. This is Joe Mauer and Jeremy Reed were talking about correct?

I think that it's him getting wasted in the pen. Alot of these guys havent pitched much lately it seems like to me. Koch/Marte/Gordon/Wunsch are the only ones i ever see.

Agreed.....assuming Thomas either figures out how to hit as a DH again, or he is off the team. The Twins infield defense is worse then it actually is. They thank Douggy M for a lot of their non-errors. But unless they flat out release him....we aren't getting him. I wouldn't mind signing him...and I'd actually pay about $2 mill for him. He's a very good guy in the clubhouse, he's got an OK bat(he can probably hit like .280 15 70 a year....JT Snow-esque numbers) and he has stellar defense(also JT Snow-esque). Also....it would be awesome to sign him....us getting back at the Twins, and Mientkiewicz getting back at them as well. Why not just get JT Snow......he's J.T. Snow esque.

Ron Coomer was never.....let's say "slender" man.... but jesus when I saw him in the LA series... it looked like he had been locked in a closet with a few dozen boxes of Krispie Kreams. Bart made him look bad in his pinch hitting role as well.

and it was paco martin and lyle mouton.

I miss Rock Raines...... guy was a juiced up maniac.

A rookie who has had 2 productive months....... and a un-signed draftee who has exactly 0 professional at-bats.......all that for the best player on our team.

Unless the Sox promote Backman soon....... Im afraid that we're gonna lose him to another organization.

Well, it's good to know that if you dont like the list, we can atleast entertain everyone with a good laugh.

The NBA is fixed.

When they realize that this building a team around scoring runs idea has failed....... they're going to figure out that pitching and defense are going to win you that. Colon Buehrle Loaiza (and hell I'll throw Garland in there as well he's been strong lately) they equal the first part of the equation. now sure up that defense and I think we'll still have some of our hitting to be sufficient.

DONT TRADE COLON!!!!! we need a core

Cruz is considered to be the next pedro in the eyes of many, and I dont think they wanna be the montreal expos in the respect of being the ones who trade away a superstar.

its gonna take more than faith and positive attitude to turn things around here.... its gonna take an act of God, congress, miss cleos hot line, and anyone or thing else who has magical powers of sorts to get this team going again...... Mrs. Cleo won't help us much, she got busted for smokin the wacky tobacky last year Ms. Cleo wasnt arrested, however she is in court for fraud. Because she is actually not a old tribal dashiki god...... she's a struggling actor from brooklyn.

I have got to imagine with Nomar at SS, this guy is prime trade bait. Any idea what Boston thinks of him? Are they willing to deal him or would they try to move him to 2B or 3B? I'd really like to see him in the Silver and Black........ I saw a piece on him on BB2Night a long time ago....... guy seems like he has what it takes. Maybe we can entice Boston to take someone off our hands in exchange for this badass.
