This is like a slightly less embarassing version of the Yankees/Red Sox from last week.

Indeed.

This is not a fun team to watch right now. It's like watching a car crash. I should look away but I can't help it.

 

It was a fun team to watch right up until the last week of June or so. Since then it's been ulcer-inducing. If a child swallows something poisonous they should watch plays like that to induce vomiting. Bill it to Blue Cross.

Maybe the good posters will come into this thread and reverse the negative mojo.

The Twins really are superior to us in every aspect besides hitting homers. So basically, it's like every year besides 2005.

 

Here you go again....its sad really....

We need to quit calling them pirhanas. Its just encouraging them to kick our ass even more.

 

It really is. It should have been said once and done away with.

i bet my dad 5 dollars that paulie would hit into a DP

 

i made 5 bucks.

 

paulie = '06 rally killer. hes grounded into 19 double plays this year

 

He's also hitting .350 with RISP. So that means, the 3 hitter shouldn't take walks or get base hits.

Lew Ford has to be on my top 5 list of guys I loathe.

we're only down 1 and just got a K ?

Here you go again....its sad really....

 

Are you saying it's not true? In what other aspect of the game do you think we're superior to the Twins? Why don't you tell us again how you would have walked Punto to get to Mauer last night?

The top 25 guys I loathe right now are all on the Twins.

There's quite a few guys I loathe in this Twins game.

Yeah, Thome's high OBP is clogging up the bases for PK.

Buehrle's got the upper hand right now with every opponent going with the report to look for balls left up in the zone.

When will people understand that our offense is not the problem...

that means, with 1st and 3rd and 1 out, when getting a run ties the game, paulie should be 100000000% sure that he wont hit it on the ground.

I'm glad Buehrle showed up ready to win today.

Detroit is winning today so that probably means we'll win.

I really just.. can't stand our guys continually stroking guys like punto, ford, tyner, etc. Just man up and get them out. jesus

Let's just be happy we don't have to play 4 or 5 games against this team because we would lose all of them.

I'm glad Buehrle showed up ready to win today.

 

He's gone 2 innings, 1 run so far. That's better than his season average. You sure do pick peculiar times to rant.

its amazing to think that JD is having arguably the second best offensive in baseball.

It's a joke on account of PK grounding into 19 double plays. I didn't say that was causing the Sox to be bad right now. It's also a joke on Dusty Baker and his comments regarding OBP. It's layered.
