nope, someone who apparently knows that your arguments are awful.

The red flags have been waving for a while now actually. I mean I've been trying to stay optimistic, but it's more of the same.

division or league... division right now would be like being the tallest midget, with one team over .500

Yeah, which is why I backed it up with 4th in the league, face it you are wrong.

an aj Bloop followed by a CQ blast would be so amazing

at least gavin looked solid

That was quite the half-assed "stretch".

 

lol I wish I could've heard that, "stretch" is the most annoying Hawkism to me.

You gave one of the best home run hitting teams in baseball an average rating. Its not harsh, just stupid.

 

Fixed for you. Teams with the worst BA in baseball do not get mentioned as one of the best.

 

 

 

I want to see how the Twins play when they don't have fans blowing in from the outfield.

Ballgame over.

 

We're 0-11 in those 42 other ones as of now...

Yeah, every time this team loses red flags are waving, we should NEVER lose.

We f***ing ROCK!!!

Shut up, Hawk.

Another offensive night off at some point Walker has to be held accountable this is going on 2 years now!

5th in OPS, yes they do.

Think about it this way....we've only had 2 or 3 offensive players hot at the same time this whole season. If our starting pitching struggled out of the gates, we could be 5 games below .500. I'll gladly take where our record is at, and hope the offense turns it around.

game.

 

are any of you guys shocked? especially those of you "Come on, it's only the 5th inning. Plenty of game left."

 

most of us saw this coming from the 3rd inning.

That comment alone is stupid. I dont call this offense one of the best, dont be fooled by the early numbers, just look at what you are watching.

Yeah, who needs numbers for evidence, lets just examine a close loss for all the data we need......

This could be partially true. Making the team worse isn't the way to do it. If the organization was as confident as you say they are in Owens, he would be up here with the club.

I'm just frustrated with this offense. I think it needs a big shakeup.

Sure and scoring 40% of your runs based on the home run is going to last as well. In our best years we were in the 25 to 28 percent. Our OBP was near the top, we have dropped over the last 2 weeks to 7th.

thank you.

do we face Cy Blackburn this series? so many Cy contenders this year, will be a difficult voting process.

That might be the most optimistic thing you've ever said...

Uh...ya know sometimes the other team is better. But even Hawk said yesterday that this team is losing a lot of those 42 games. Yeah. Hawk said it.

Batting average is one of the worst indicators of a good offense. kansas city and minnesota are both in the top 10 for batting avg and both havent even score 100 runs yet.
