Failure. Schmucks

Andruw Jones, oh how we wish you could still hit consistently.

Haha, thats rather funny actually..good job PK

I wanted a split at worst, being as we're on the road. But no way that 1 of 4 is acceptable against Baltimore. I don't care how much 'talent' they have, their pitching staff is abysmal.

3 hits, against THE WORST TEAM IN MLB. They aren't a 'bad' team, they are the WORST team in baseball. Defend it all you want, but there is no way in hell you should lose 3 of 4 to this team.

5 pitch inning. CLASSIC!

9 runs in 3.75 games, against the worst team in the majors. Bravo

Well, thats embarassing. Good job, gents, one run on the worst team in baseball.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 6, 2010 -> 09:55 PM) He has good stuff, but our hitters were definitely overwhelmed. Well, lefties were absolutely crushing Bergesen coming into this game, and we...well didn't.

This offensive effort against this pitcher...was disheartening to say the least.

Sale then Pena...fun 8th inning will ensue. But, I guess we have no choice other than Pena.

Yeah....

Hmm...this is the ideal time to break Chris Sale in? mmk.

How embarassing...a 1-1 battle with the worst team in baseball.

Well, at least we didn't use any important bullpen guys today.

QUOTE (TheOcho @ Aug 3, 2010 -> 07:52 PM) I may have missed it, and excuse my stupidity... but why did Carlos start this game and not Edwin who has had more then needed days of rest if I'm not mistaken. Coop has the starts scheduled out for the rest of the season, and Ozzie didn't want to alter from the plan.

QUOTE (daa84 @ Aug 3, 2010 -> 07:48 PM) coming into today I would have been very happy with a DH split....especially if the twins lose With Detroit's home record, I would agree. But this isn't the way I wanted to split. I'd prefer us to at least be competitive, and not run out a worn-tread 88mph throwing pitcher to put us in a crater sized hole from the start.

What a freakin' waste...only we'd find a way to breathe life into a s***tyass slumping team.

Well Torres is fantastic... Hope TB can keep out Twinkie friends in check, because the pitching for us tonight is brutal.

Juan f***ing Pierre, b****es.

The ONLY place you're going to get a legit FICO score is from www.myfico.com And even there, it will cost you somewhere between $10-15 for each one, and you can not get your Experian score even then. They (Experian) stopped allowing 'public' access to scores via most outlets. I've monitored my score/reports etc forever, and the only place you're going to get a legit FICO, without some monthly monitoring service, etc., is from myfico.com

We were overdue for one of these type games, just didn't expect it to be while Danks was on the mound, giving up the biggest part. Oh well, strangely, even though the Twins are breathing down our necks, I'm not concerned with this one tonight.

Since I'm too lazy to go figure it out, my bigger question is this: How in gods name did Edwin Jackson scale up to a 8.5mil payday in 2011 after seeing what he has done career-wise??

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 01:44 PM) Christ, he doesn't have to be the next big thing. Just a mid 4 ERA/FIP starter that will make a total of $1.5M over the next 3 years combined, there's incredible value in that. Yeah....the more I let it sit and stew, the more that I'm kinda puzzled by the trade afterall....salary reasons alone, this makes very little sense for a glorified 4th/5th starter. And lets be honest, thats all Jackson is, at best. In 2011, we'd have: Peavy $16m Buehrle $14m Floyd $5m Danks ~$5m Jackson $8.5m Thats...well thats pretty f***ing stupid to wrap that much up in a back of the rotation guy. So I guess yeah, we do need to hope we're flipping Jackson for a bat, and can still find a serviceable 5th starter....
