:BUMP: looks like the Twins are getting thier way, as a good stadium bill clears the last conference committee http://www.startribune.com/587/story/442967.html

well, the Twins didnt really want give him $4mil they went to arbritration, and the judge ruled the Lohse is a 4 million dollar pitcher Lohse got pulled from the game last night mid inning, and instead of cheering on his replacement on the bench, he stormed into the lockerroom, which is a no-no in pitching coach Rick Anderson's book. Last year, he got pulled from a game and punched the managers door to his office, hurting his hand So, it wouldnt surprise me if something is done soon about Lohse

not at all I am fed up with Lohse. I would trade him for a rosin bag right now

I dont think Lohse can be demoted without clearing waivers first

QUOTE(Jordan4life_2006 @ May 16, 2006 -> 09:57 PM) The Tigers are getting some fine pitching. I'm starting to think these guys might be for real. you get fine pitching, because the Twins late in the swing at every first pitch its like they wanted to get the game over fast

2nd time this game bases have been loaded and 0 outs

Kyle Lohse sucks cant even hold a 3-0 lead Tiggers up 7-3 in the 5th I hope they just out right release him and call up Boof Bosner and groom him for a starting gig next year

according to the Twins Tv crew, Silva does great in the bullpen sessions, but get excited during the game and his mechanics break down, so his sinker goes flat and becomes more hitter than it was

oh yeah they switched to rotation on me well.. the Twins wont sweep then

you all are Twins fan for the next 3 games, for its Min at Det (if there is not any rainout) Santana pitches tonight

Well, his bullpen stint was all about 'getting his feet wet' type of deal But I would of made the move last week all I know is that Lohse is a terrible pitcher and something is mechanically wrong with Silva

yes yes, I am part of 'the enemy' but after watching Crede this weekend rob what seemed like 15 extra base hits I have to tip my cap that play on Cuddyer earlier today (Mon) was one of the best 3rd baseman plays I have seen

QUOTE(greasywheels121 @ May 10, 2006 -> 10:01 PM) He probably did great in his mock press conference. wasn't he the one who traded Scott Kazmir to the D-Rays for one of the Zambranos?

I would laugh at the Indians, but my team is way under .500 and got shutout by those Royals last week

Scott Kazmir has 5 strike outs in 2 innings so far today

109 pitches in 6 innings

Twins win 4-3

QUOTE(kyyle23 @ May 10, 2006 -> 03:53 PM) completely hypothetical situation, right? you are correct

say your team is up 3 runs, but during the 8th inning the set up man melts down and allows 2 runs in. Why do a lot of managers keep thier bigmoney closer in the pen and hope that the lead is still there in the 9th?

4-3 going to the 9th Morneau screwed up a double play ball by completly having a mental breakdown and letting the ball get by him. *grumble*

yeah, I forgot to update you guys the Twins scored 2 runs on no hits (2 walks, 2 hit batters and a runner scoring on a 0 out double play) 4-1 Twins in the middle of the 8th (Hunter rbi)

Keith Olbermann had one of the authors on his show the other day you can see the video here: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/3036677/ and scroll down to 'Video:The Book on Barry'

ahhhh gotcha

Twins -Rangers tied at 1 in the bottom of 5 -- I have a Sox question... why, when Conteras went on the DL, didnt you slide over McCarthy to the rotation. I heard on the radio that you guys called up a knuckleballer

QUOTE(RockRaines @ May 5, 2006 -> 12:56 PM) ESPN power rankings: Yankees are at #3 4 games over .500 They arent even the best team in their own division. Who writes this s***? wow what was their reasons for such a high ranking?
