Wise Master Buehrle

Balks have to be one of the lamest calls in all of baseball. Honestly.

DOUBLE PLAY BEOTCH.

Anyone see that f***ing gay Cub fan throw Carls home run ball back? :redflipoffsmileywhcihIcantfind

I don't mind out of division teams but with Twins fans here the arguments may get heated...

If this is a ploy to make Franks leaving at years end hurt less then I'm not buying it. They got me to not care about Maggs, Carlos, and others, but they are NOT doing that to Big Frank.

Yay! No more Timo leading off.

QUOTE(Wedge @ Apr 17, 2005 -> 10:33 AM) I disagree. The offense does not look like last years. Yes, we use the HR to score some runs, but we are not solely dependent on it for runs like we were last year. I can't remember baserunning being this strong last year. I don't remember taking advantage of throwing errors and passed balls this much last year. I don't remember generating pressure that led to those things last year. Yes, we use the HR to score runs. Every team is going to do that. It's the only hit in the game that ALWAYS scores you some runs. We do have a number of power hitters in our line-up. They are going to hit HRs. It's just natural. Smartball isn't smallball. If it was, they'd call it the same thing. Smart ball is knowing what it takes to score those runs that we need. If a pitcher grooves a pitch to Konerko (a la yesterday), then f*** yes I want him to try and nail it out of the park. What I don't want to see is Paulie using that same long swing to try to hit it out of the park every time. Smartball is saying to yourself, "we're down by 1 and we have men on 2nd and 3rd with 2 outs. I just have to try to knock a single to get the lead" and then doing what it takes to get that hit. Smartball is knowing that the advantage on the basepaths is in the runner's favor. It is understanding the time old principle that the time it takes for a perfect throw from the catcher to second with a perfect tag takes exactly the same amount of time as a good runner to have a lead and to slide into base and taking advantage because catcher and second baseman have to execute perfectly to get the out. Are we going to be an offensive juggernaught this year? No, but I expect us to be a team that understands the game situation at every at-bat, pitch, relay throw, and baserunning maneuver. We're going to see an intelligent, hard-working, tough team that knows its strength is its starting pitchers and is going to do everything it can to give that pitching a lead and then expect it to hold it. THAT is smart ball. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> THREAD.PWNED....BAD.

WATCH OUR FOR VIRUSES.

Wait... people still play this??? Honestly I got bored of it once real baseball was being played.

http://www.ebaumsworld.com/hedgehogcatapult.html Never took a break until level 47. It's a lot of fun.

OUr boys have sure scared off those M's fans.

We said that the first 3 times.

LOL Owned.

WTF?

Dougs monitor is shot so he's out of commission. :banghead

:banghead Oh well, we wouldn't have got him anyway.

The 1st inning yesterday is where we should have and could have went for Cleveland's jugular. Don't get me wrong, sac flies are dandy and all. But we had 1st and 3rd with no outs and our big hitters up with Elarton throwing hangers all over the place and only got one run out of it. When we get a golden opportunity like that, we need to take it. Could have really changed the pace of that game...

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Apr 15, 2005 -> 02:17 PM) There is another M's board that we are in contact with. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> What about other fans?

So how do the M's fans find this place???

I'm digging his eyegear.

Why is everyone blaming Cotts??? Juan f***ed up that Wheel Play. That's a routine ground out any other day.

Hinske.

Nice job coming back by Duque. Maybe COTTS TIME will have to wait a bit.
