QUOTE (fathom @ May 12, 2008 -> 09:47 PM) Oh well, I'll take the WS ring. Uh...yeah.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 12, 2008 -> 08:43 PM) might? Stat wise, Carlos Lee's one of the top sluggers in the game this decade. I didn't want to make a definitive proclamation about guys that haven't had a chance yet. But yeah, we gave up a lot of Pods.

QUOTE (Frankensteiner @ May 5, 2008 -> 09:37 PM) To be fair, Pods didn't cost you your 3 best prospects. Carlos Lee might be a more productive player than anyone traded this off season.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ May 12, 2008 -> 02:00 PM) You can clearly see the age in Thome's swing. His power zone used to be to left center and he used to lace deadly liners to left field, now he's pretty much a pull hitter and is overpowered by some fastballs. I wouldnt mind shopping him at all. I actually liked the lineup better when he wasnt in it. I would also be shopping Dotel to the Brew Crew as a closer right now to see if we can snag a better 2B. I think Thome is cheating most of the time on fastballs because he can't catch up. Unfortunately that means when gets those hard breaking balls he has no chance. This is a better team with Dye batting 3rd.

Twins are what they are every year. Home = 13-7 Road = 6-10 They are so good at home they basically guarantee themselves at least a decent year. Whether they will be any better than decent remains to be seen.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ May 11, 2008 -> 08:14 PM) He'll probably hit 5 or 6 homers in the next 2 weeks. He's as streaky as they come. I think Wassermann gets until the end of this road trip to get people out. Obviously his performance didn't have an effect on today's outcome, but he hasn't been very good. If he has another bad outing or 2, it probably will be time to insert Broadway into the bullpen. I know, that's why I'll give Thome the benefit of the doubt for now. His bat just looks slow and, more important, his strike zone judgment hasn't been good.

They probably win today if Dye is playing. That's not an indictment on Ozzie because he has to rest, but more on Thome for being useless in big situations. I'm a couple weeks away from hopping on Thome's retirement bandwagon.

After getting 2 on: AJ = 1 pitch Crede = 2 pitches Swisher = 4

Fly out, pop out. 2 out. Classic.

As bad as Floyd was, Masset already looks worse. He's got 2 gift strikes.

QUOTE (tommy @ May 11, 2008 -> 12:05 PM) If BA will start again today that probably means Swish at 1B and Kong gets the day off? I think Dye is sitting, but I don't know where I saw that.

QUOTE (kyyle23 @ May 11, 2008 -> 11:42 AM) Thats an expensive pre-game ritual I didn't say it was mine

QUOTE (kyyle23 @ May 11, 2008 -> 09:55 AM) G&T, what is your pre-game ritual? Steak and Potatoes? Wearing the same unwashed socks? Opening and shutting the door 3 times after you walk through it while reciting "Uno, Dos, Tres"? Whatever you are doing, its working I like to beat the s*** out of a heating unit about 3 hours before game time.

QUOTE (knightni @ May 11, 2008 -> 10:00 AM) AAAAAA! He put the "S" word in the subtitle! We're doomed now! Crap. Knew I shouldn't have done that!

What good is it to win 2 if you can't win the 3rd? So...

Game.

Great DP. 2 down.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ May 10, 2008 -> 11:57 PM) yeah, these late night west coast games are great on the weekend when you are out at a bar, but suck when you are trying to stay up at home to watch I'm really proud that you decided to join just to quote me. Obviously I'm kidding. Welcome.

QUOTE (YASNY @ May 10, 2008 -> 11:57 PM) You got your priorities straight. Thank you. That makes me feel better.

QUOTE (YASNY @ May 10, 2008 -> 11:54 PM) Sleep in, it's Sunday. I have some studying to get done in the morning. Of course I'm still sitting here.

Man it's like 1 am here. Damn time.

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ May 11, 2008 -> 12:47 AM) They never run for the catcher . If AJ gets hurt during the 1st batter in the 9th we got no replacement. Why do I feel like Pablo is the emergency catcher? It used to be Mack

Good enough. Inning over.

QUOTE (YASNY @ May 10, 2008 -> 11:41 PM) LOL ... I almost did that too ... but said to hell with it. I didn't want to be that guy, but someone had to do it.

QUOTE (YASNY @ May 10, 2008 -> 11:38 PM) The only thing about that Uribe/Hall play is that we have to face Beltre again. Editted to add missing word. Edited to edit the word "editted."
