Jose Lima pitching. Looks like the lead is going to only be 10, but hey mabey Its Lima Time tonight

This is a great thread. There's a Twins fansite out there that refers to our Sox as the "b**** Sox." That 10.5 game lead feels good when you see stuff like that.

lol yeah Lima Time to leave after 3.2 innings.

Him and Juan Rincon could be best friends.

Now THAT's funny.

Lima averages like 1 dominant game a month...it's just when he pulls it out. He beat the Hell out of the Cardinals last year in the playoffs, he beat the Hell out of the Dodgers when he pitched against them last month. He can do it...he just does it VERY RARELY.

"People close to Bret Boone have been told by the Seattle Mariners second baseman that the Twins would be his first choice if he is traded or becomes a free agent, as expected. Boone, 36, always has been impressed by the way the Twins play and that they have been in the playoffs three consecutive years. Boone believes he would be a terrific fit and would be greatly motivated to play for the Twins."

haha. how many rumors get put up on SpinMaller that actually become true

 

2%..4% maybe

Interesting stat: Johan Santana hasn't won a game in a month.

More interesting stat...the Royals are up 4-3 on the Twins in the 7th.

Runners on the corners, nobody out for the Royals . Bottom of the 7th, 4-3 KC.

Through 18 starts this season, Santana is 7-5 with a 3.98 ERA, 26 walks and 143 strikeouts.

 

Through 18 starts last season, Santana was 7-5 with a 3.89 ERA, 29 walks and 125 strikeouts.

Last season he was coming off an injury, and was terrible to start the season.

 

This year he's been consistently good, but not AMAZING

 

           2004           2005
 

April      5.40           3.55

May        5.79           3.83

June       2.39           3.93

July       1.17           5.84* 
 

*it's early

I should add, that he was 13-0 with a 1.21 ERA after the ASB last year... I will guarantee he won't match that this year.

7-3 Royals! Buck with a two-run single on the drawn in IF. Still nobody out, runners at the corners, bottom 7.

 

No more updates from me. Keep it comin', KC!

7-3...2 runs score on a base hit by Buck, first and third...still Noooooobody out.

Come on you Royals. Need at least a 10-spot here before your lead is safe against those damn Twins.

Walk to Costa...bases loaded...Still Noooooooobody out.

Greedy Graffanino just got one of them RBI walks. 8-3 KC.

Terrence Long = Timo Perez

Terrence Long GIDP with the bases loaded...is now 0-5 for the day.

 

8-3 isn't a safe lead against the Twins. They'll be down only 10 games within a few innings, given KC's terribleness.

Greedy Graffanino just got one of them RBI walks. 8-3 KC.

 

 

HAHA. Is there a story behind the name?

HAHA. Is there a story behind the name?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

He was once a bench player for the Sox. He then left us as a FA to play for the Royals, who gave him about $500,000 more.

8-5 Royals in the top of the 9th....Mauer doubled in 2 w/ 1 out.
