Are Ozzie and Don Cooper actually in the dugout? Are they awake?

Maybe we should stop trading for relievers from KC.

HoRam has nothing on his pitches. Everything just rolls up to the plate. We went from having a stellar bullpen to having Adam Russell be the #3 guy behind Jenks and Thornton.

And that doesn't really make any sense.

It does. They do everything right except hit, including managing. Everyone is ready to compare them to the late 20s Yankees and yet they just aren't that great as a unit. Like Tampa, for example.

Good times.

You can't pitch Jenks in a game you're down 2. I'll say this...we have no chance to make the playoffs unless Dotel steps up his game or Linebrink returns soon.

St. Louis has 18 runs and no homers.

Who's ready to compare them to the '27 Yankees?

seriously, if we miss the playoffs it will certainly be on the pen...i never expected us to keep up the pace from the first half, that was just ridiculous, but boone logan s***ting himself, linebrink's "minor" injury that has now caused him to miss basically half the season, combined with dotel tossing BP in the second half has really come around to f*** us over

Maybe Jenks should be in.

 

With Jenks injury scares this year, I doubt they use him unless we are up or tied in extras.

Twins about to be up 4-0.

I definately see Poreda getting called up this year, whether it's starting or in the pen.

They have no closer right now, and after cutting the margin in half, you bring in your closer for an almost automatic scoreless inning.

 

Going to the bottom of the 9th down 2 makes me believe we still have a chance. Slim? Yeah. But it beats a 3+ run deficit.

All the analysts have said with Tex now, they are a great offense. Well, I've yet to see that.

 

BTW- 3-0 MIN.

Linebrink continues to play long-toss with Mark Prior. Liney's gone.

 

Forget Liney, which is exactly what KW should've done at the trading deadline.

I definately see Poreda getting called up this year, whether it's starting or in the pen.

 

Bring him up, and put him in the bullpen. BTW everyone, I forgot about Carrasco. He's clearly our #3 reliever.

Give Hawk some time.

lack of organizational depth has crushed us so far this year, while the twins and drays depth has really been their saving grace

They have no closer right now, and after cutting the margin in half, you bring in your closer for an almost automatic scoreless inning.

 

And if he gets hit around, you possibly lose him for the next game.

Russell afraid of the bat.

When can we play Seattle or KC again?

everyone is sayign that the twins schedule is difficult with the long road trips they have...and that certainly is difficult, but our schedule is f***ing brutal too

 

 

god it still makes me so mad knowing that dotel was f***ing smiling walking off the field after that bulls***

This upcoming road trip is huge.

Lotta hangers from Russell so far.

You misunderstand. That was Octavio's special way of showing disappointment.

If you could assault the hell out of any person in the world right now, without getting arrested or whatever, who would it be?
