I have a bad feeling Ozzie is going to have Linebrink face Mauer and Morneau.

Umm... next inning better be Thornton's not Linebrink's.

It seems like Juan has been hot lately or at least decent, but he is still batting .190.

. . . . he might be al player of the week this week. You said right now, not may.

 

So by now what do you mean then? Todays game? The last 3 games to fit your point? I figured talking about someones last 7 games would be a pretty good sample set for a definition of "now".

Why thank you. I started the game thread, so I decided to bring my "A" game.

Successful, I knew you would be.

Why is Linebrink up (according to Stoney). If they bring him in for Mauer and Morneau, that'd be dumb as can be.

Rincon is only hitting 91-92 on his fastball according to MLB gamecast... looks like someone is missing the juice...

Well, you do expect it to wear off eventually right?

That's the Toby pop up down the line he has down to a science.

He's actually hitting .298 in May.

Ozzie did the same thing during the home opener, and Linebrink was a deep fly ball by Kubel away from blowing a 4 run lead.

Ok, death is not an option. Your leadoff hitter...Timo Perez or Alexei Ramirez?

Hitting .294 in May (albeit in only 17 ABs). Hell i'd take it if Uribe hit .235 all year, you know he's gonna play good D, hit some HRs and knock guys in.

Timo in a heartbeat, and no one hates OMIT more than I do.

Ramirez better be stealing.

OMFG ALEXEI GOT A HIT!

He HAS to run here, and quick.

OK Alexei, good job

Ozzie giving the "subtle" steal sign.

I'd rather we let Quentin bat with someone on base. Ramirez can score on a double, and with Mauer's arm, I'd rather not give up the out.

Linebrink hasn't pitched in 4 days and only once since April 28th. To bring him in for Mauer and Morneau at all, let alone while rusty, would likely result in a loss today. I hope my feeling on what is going to happen is wrong.

Thorton and then Linebrink and if not I will be convinced that Ozzie Guillen does no managing what so ever.

He's standing behind Alexei firing a gun into the air on each pitch isn't he?
