You forgot to mention how he has 22 homeruns which is first among al shortstops or the fact that he's come up clutch hits time and time again or the fact he's been absolutely awesome defensively. He f***ed up today no doubt about that but he's still a very good player.

Honestly, nobody knows who can or who can't go deep into the playoffs. This team isn't playing well right now but if they get hot right around october, going into the playoffs with a hot streak, throwing garcia and buehrle out there the first couple of games, who says they can't go deep into the playoffs. Get in and anything can happen.

Is Mike Caruso available?

That's not kenny's philosiphy. They're 2 games back in the loss column, they still have a great chance to get into the postseason. I doubt he's going to sit back and think well maybe the twins will collapse, maybe will get frank and maggs back, he'll most likely go out and try to put this team over the top like he always does.

He's made quite the impression on me.

He can vent all he wants but saying the team is done, if they're done then why even hang around here?

OK, c ya later. Don't come back, the team is done, so just go away.

All I'm going to say about this game is :puke

Nuke, you make no sense, we've lost 3 games in a row this season is over, next season is over, the future is doomed.

I was just about to say, you know a guy is a real idiot when you have to give him props for basically saying Johan Santana is good.

Meh, I wouldn't go that far. I think everyone expected Johan to dominate the guy is a stud and he's on one hell of a hot streak. Sure these first two games have definitely been ugly but I wouldn't say that it's corpseball, more of good pitching.

OK Mr. Know it all.

Yes, we got Sully August 21st of last year. Unfortunately I agree with you about the bandwagoners.

AKA He's good.

That is hilarious. But thinking of Ricky retiring still makes me .

Well I think most of us agree that Arow should bat 2nd as of right now so hopefully ozzie will find this out. As for the bottom of the order yeah it would still be a little weak but not as weak.

^^ Yeah, That ^^

Yeah that one I'm going to change, I think it's more of an equal thing right now. Shingo has been awesome but so has nathan he does have more saves but shingo hasn't had the opp's yet(obviously).

I even gave you more then one.

Cookie?

I'm not a huge fan of comparing players by position to figure out what team is better, also Mullholland is in their rotation right now and I think Seth is in aaa but anyways if I had to do this mine would be like this: Koskie > Crede Guzman Rivas = Harris/Uribe Morneau Jones > Borchard/Perez/Gload Hunter Stewart Radke Santana > Garcia Silva > Loaiza Lohse Mullholland > Schoeneweis Nathan = Takatsu Romero Rincon > Politte Roa > Jackson Fultz > Cotts

Yeah your right, I just meant the top two guys to get on for Carlos, Carl, Pauly, Jose but yes he is at the top of the order and a .300 hitter. You win, I lose.

Ditto, 2 .300 hitters at the top of the lineup would make this lineup damn solid.

Agreed 100 percent and we beat their two aces up in minny. What's weird is we've won both series in minny and they've won both series at the cell. First things first is we definitely need arow at the top of the order. Lee has become a great hitter, I don't care what his stats say he's 10 times the hitter he was last year, and there isn't a guy I'd rather have up in a clutch situation then carl, to me those 3 aren't the problem and I think most people would agree. Something that has been bugging me about pauly. While Pauly is obviously having a great year, he has to start shortening up his swing when the situation calls for it. Almost all of his hits lately have been solo homers and when someone is one base he's always grounding into dp's. With runners in scoring position he has to shorten up and just try to drive in the runners on base.
