QUOTE (greg775 @ May 14, 2010 -> 08:30 PM) Farmer is annoying. What else is new.

Could be Meche's last inning as he is close to 100.

Kotsay having himself a nice little game.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ May 14, 2010 -> 08:23 PM) Frank's arms are the size of very big legs. He is the stay puft marshmallow man.

Twins come back to take the lead and threaten to score more.

QUOTE (TitoMB @ May 14, 2010 -> 08:21 PM) 18 up, 18 down + 1 hit. 15

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ May 14, 2010 -> 08:21 PM) Mark's pickoff is WOW. More like wowaweewa!

doh!

14 to go.

Looks like there's another nice pitcher's duel in Skydome.

QUOTE (sin city sox fan @ May 14, 2010 -> 08:15 PM) Lets hope Vizquel is trade bait at the deadline. There should be quite a few teams lining up to make a deal for him.

AJ!!

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ May 14, 2010 -> 08:10 PM) how's Frank been in the both? Yeah not too bad for a fill in.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ May 14, 2010 -> 08:08 PM) 12 up, 12 down for Mark. Knowing our lineup tonight we might lose if he pitches a 2 hitter.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 14, 2010 -> 08:06 PM) 2 hits in 4 innings, about what to be expected from the lineup. Teahen is just the definition of mediocrity. At this point he isn't even at the level of mediocrity.

Why oh why was he extended?

f***. Just bring back Dye at this rate.

It's just amazing that in a weekend where the Twins and Tigers face good competition, giving us a chance to gain ground, Ozzie puts together one of the worst lineups I've ever seen.

QUOTE (greg775 @ May 14, 2010 -> 04:03 PM) So you want Nix to DH over Omar? Nix reached base 4 times the last time he played. Vizquel will reach base 4 times over the span of two months.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ May 14, 2010 -> 03:22 PM) Ain't that the truth. Mark might have to pitch a shutout, even with Meche on the mound for them. Just imagine the pressure that puts on Mark before the game starts after he sees that lineup.

QUOTE (jeffro2525 @ May 14, 2010 -> 03:20 PM) Jayson Nix gets on base four times Sunday...hasn't played since. Vizquel our DH tonight. Unbelievable. Might as well skip the DH and let Mark bat. It really can't be any worse than what Omar will give you.

QUOTE (jeffro2525 @ May 14, 2010 -> 03:19 PM) Kotsay, Ramirez, Teahen, Becks, Visquel...smells like runs!!! When 6 of 9 batters are automatic outs you know you have problems.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ May 14, 2010 -> 03:16 PM) Vizquel at DH tonight. Pierre lf, AJ c, Rios cf, Konerko 1b, Kotsay rf, Ramirez ss, Teahen 3b, Beckham 2b, Vizquel dh, Buehrle p. What an awful lineup. Ugh

QUOTE (jeffro2525 @ May 14, 2010 -> 02:56 PM) I thought the same thing. Sometimes there is a "honeymoon" period with a new coach where the team actually performs better for a while...hopefully this is not the case in this instance. Hopefully the only honeymooning going on in KC is Yost and the team having a nice romantic dinner after they get swept this weekend.

QUOTE (Tex @ May 14, 2010 -> 02:42 PM) After the Tejanos defeated Mexico and gained their independence there was a dispute over where the boundary was between the Republic of Texas and Mexico. The US claimed the Rio Grande River, Mexico claimed the Nueces River. Since Mexico did not recognize the Republic as legal and valid, they never really pursued the issue. Later, when the US annexed the Republic of Texas, tensions started. With manifest destiny on every one's lips, the US basically taunted and provoked Mexico into a war. After winning the war, the US took over about half of Mexico's land. Whether you want to use the word stole or not, we were a conquering army. The public believed that God wanted the US to stretch from sea to shining sea. About 1/4th of the lower 48 is land that formerly was Mexico. Our motivation for the war was to take land from Mexico. If you like Mexico so much then why don't you marry it.
