dotel looks pretty good stuff wise tonight....hes had a lot of rest which i think has probably helped him

 

No question.

I think that just pissed me off more than if he allowed 2 runs.

this is the inning we take command of this division

What I don't get is Dotel had 2 straight strong performances, and then it's like Ozzie forgot he was in the bullpen.

 

Ah, who knows which Dotel you'll ever get?

this is the inning we take command of this division

 

Wow. That's sexy.

If anyone just watched the Bufallo Wild Wings commercial with Mahoney being called in. Thats the reason Ozzie brings in these bums in crucial situations.

 

 

Great AB for AJ. One pitch, one out.

man i do not get Dotel. I've said it before, there is absolutely 0 middle for him. Its either 1-2-3 on 10 pitches with 3 k's or 7 walks and 4 homeruns. Nothing in between.

Great AB for AJ. One pitch, one out.

 

bout the 80th time that happened.

It's also nice to know we gave up the first out in the 2nd inning with a bunt. With this pitching we have, no bunting until the 9th inning.

Take 3 Swisher

So NOW Richard is warming. OK.

he's had a big problem with the long ball this year, no doubt....but i frankly think hes been better than most people and ozzie give him credit for.....

And now Richard is warming up in the bullpen? What the hell, so Ozzie chose to pitch Horacio over Richard?

Clayton Richard warming up.

Swisher doubles.

means nothing until we get more base runners

Hey, nice hit Swisher. Didn't swing too hard.

Wow just got home to see Minny got POUNDED by KC and we're still choking.

Quick realization: if we'd won both of our 1-run losses the past 2 days, we would've just clinched the division when the Twins lost tonight.

Oh poo poo.........

You've missed some pathetic bullpen management.

there have been so many opportunites to pitck up a game over the last 3 weeks

 

 

yes....come on OC keep this moving...

Infield single for Juan.

no, not really. He is either Cy Young or Ryan Buckvich. Too bad you can't trust him on any given night.
