Do we really trust the Twins bullpen to get 9 outs before giving up at least 2 runs?

That should be an Indians loss. Nice job, Downs. Twins up 6-4, top 7.

6-4 Twins after 5. Too much time left in this game. Weaver came back out for the 8th after a stressful 7th. Indians got the first two on base. 3-0 Angels, 8th. Go bullpen.

QUOTE (Cerbaho-WG @ Jul 2, 2012 -> 08:03 PM) Not anymore. Shoemaker in Birmingham's lineup, so everyone can finally shut the f*** up about that. Wow, a little hostile there. Have a beer.

Thompson hit those two homers off a righty having a good season.

Twins took it to Fister. Might get some help tonight.

Braves are 0-10 on Monday's. Outscored 55-13 Trailing the Cubs 1-0, top 6

Verlander is pitching the third game after the break, and will face the Sox July 20. Just assume we're facing him 3 times in the second half. I hope the Sox are planning their post-break rotation carefully.

1. Sale vs Oswalt 2. Axelrod vs Feldman 3. Quintana vs Harrison 4. Peavy vs Laffey 5. Floyd vs Romero 6. Sale vs Cecil Sweep this week at home.

Marlins are only 4 games out of a playoff spot. I don't know if they are the only team to do this, but their 5 starters have made every one of their starts. If that continues, Bell actually closes games, and some of the underachieving offensive players start hitting, the Marlins could be a second half team. 10 NL teams are very much in it, and the Marlins are one of them.

QUOTE (danman31 @ Jul 1, 2012 -> 09:31 PM) Nice day for Joey DeMichele, who proved to be too good for rookie ball. He's been promoted to Kannapolis Good. Like that move.

The best revenge would be for AJ to kick the Rangers' ass the next couple games. Maybe round the bases, hit home plate, and wave to Ron Washington.

Hawkins first pro homer.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 1, 2012 -> 06:41 PM) I'm sure they'd give him up for Sale. Viciedo might well do it too. Did I really have to say "minor league chips"?

Charlotte- Humber http://www.milb.com/milb/stats/stats.jsp?s...chraaa_gwiaaa_1 Birmingham- Bayne http://www.milb.com/milb/stats/stats.jsp?s...hunaax_biraax_1 Winston-Salem- PPD Kannapolis- Snodgress http://www.milb.com/milb/stats/stats.jsp?s...kanafx_romafx_1 Bristol- Olacio http://www.milb.com/milb/stats/stats.jsp?s...jcyrok_brirok_1 Great Falls- McGinnis http://www.milb.com/milb/stats/stats.jsp?s...helrok_grfrok_1

Humber: 2.1 innings 3 hits 2 runs 2 er 2 bb 3 k 52 pitches, 28 strikes. Good luck next time. You're not ready.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jul 1, 2012 -> 05:17 PM) You need to play FANTASY baseball! Pass.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jul 1, 2012 -> 04:37 PM) Not possible, so not worth my vote. Not only does he get the hype vote, he also has an entire country voting for him. Jake, you're an All-Star in my heart, go have some Jägermeister and enjoy the rest. Thank you, and the Sox organization...save the money and the time trying to get him in and let the players focus on winning 6 home games before the break. BTW, I like to think I'm a big baseball fan...I have never heard of Ernesto Frieri until now.

Twins win three straight vs KC. Now they'll lose to the next team...oh great it's Detroit. This ain't going to be easy, is it?

Phillies are the first team to play 81 games. 36-45. They gawn. I wish we had the chips for Hamels.

He should have been named, but let Darvish have it, and give Jake the rest. I won't be voting.

I guess 13 out of 16 quality starts with 112.2 innings, with a 2.96 ERA wasn't good enough. Joke.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jul 1, 2012 -> 11:33 AM) And expected. Uh, yeah. I think Sale, Peavy, and Konerko are all locks. AJ should be, and Rios is borderline. Oh, and Dunn should be considered, warts and all. And yes, De Aza has had a great first half, but probably not. Heck, after all of the good stuff on this team, how are we not running away with this thing?

Carlos Lee should retire. That is all.
