the quote i heard on the radio was prefaced w/ "if the playoffs started tomorrow..."

 

 

They should be startin' tomorrow. MLB season is too goddamn long IMO. Should be 140 games or 150 at the most...that's plenty. It's ridiculous when the last game of the WS is in the first week of November like last year.

OC's average is up to .283 after a slow start and another slump this year.

I remember leaving work to go watch the clincher at Outback Steakhouse. Crede botched a routine grounder, and you're right, Polanco's liner sure looked like a double.

 

 

I was watching it on DirecTV from Colombia, South America, lol.

 

I remember ordering the Freddy Garcia "clinching" shirt with black piping and grey that very instant. I almost ordered a Jose Contreras jersey!!!

 

It looks like the 162 day season and being on the road so much has finally caught up with those inexperienced, 25 year-old Twins' pitchers.

AJP hasn't homered in just about a month.

I don't mind it, because baseball is my favorite sport.

I wish we couldve gotten a real leadoff hitter and seen what he could really do offensively this year.

What are you talking about? Once Week 1 of the NFL starts, baseball ends anyway. Don't you watch ESPN?

 

I think ESPN mentions football every day, off season or not.

Mussina is going to own us tonight.

 

I honestly don't see how this pussbag has won 17 games. You watch him and think a decent college team could beat him.

you can say that for about half our team. Just strugglin on O

Dreaded lead-off walk.

Here's my question, and trust me, I'm not a BA lover: Hawk was saying how Walker told him two weeks ago that Brian Anderson has found his swing, and he's going to do a lot of damage at the plate. Why aren't we looking for ways to get him in the lineup? As much as I'm aware that Ozzie has a personal issue with him, it still seems like he needs to be playing more than once a week.

he's an intelligent pitcher

to juan miranda, no less

The same way Greg Maddux won so many games in his 30's, although Maddux never threw 94-96 in his prime like Mr. New York Times Crossword Intellectual.

Seems to happen every year. You have to wonder about our strength/conditioning program, as this is obviously not just a PED thing.

IMO, you pull Javy if the yankees score again, and let Carrasco pitch into the 5th or 6th, and take your chances with what's left in our pen

 

I don't want Javy ending the year playoffs or not, on arm fatigue

Don't you watch ESPN?

 

No...not really. Only if my team is on with them. Nothin' but a bunch of douche nozzles who live and breath everything East and sensationalize the crap out of everything to the point of nauseum. I can't even have my volume on watching monday night football because I think Tony Kornheiser is the most worthless POS they've ever employed.

 

btw...I know that was sarcasm.

I've never been a fan of his bat at all, but if nothing else, he's earned the right to play more. He's been coming up with some nice hits of late.

Hawk just cracked me up on that DP call. He's all friggin worked up.

I agree that we should have him on a short leash, and let him rest up for the Twins series.

i'm sure the yankees are now fully aware that Javy cannot get his breaking ball over for strikes

I'd have to go with Limbaugh on that count. That was a really silly stretch on their part to think that move would work. Limbaugh would have been better for baseball...almost like having Ebert doing mnf.

s*** - KC has won 7 straight.

 

nothing is ever easy!
