Well atleast sucking will rid this team of Ozzie.

the way the announcers have been bragging about our bullpen, I'm not surprised Thornton gives up the go ahead run.

Can someone please tell me how Cleveland scored the third run? I missed it while driving home.

Thornton's gives up too many big runs.

thorton is one of the staples of our pen

This does happen to Thornton occasionally, he doesn't have that 96-98 MPH FB when he's out of the stretch.

 

Then he gave up a hit on an offspeed pitch to Sizemore.

 

But hey, it's still early.

Yep, just that the way sucking on offense since the ASB of 2006 has gotten rid of Walker. At this point, Ozzie's done so much damage to the talent of this organization that it's going to be hard to recover for a few seasons.

Sick of watching these bums.

I think you're forgetting how many runs he does not give up...

Choo ripped a double after Sizemore had singled.

 

Gave up two hits in a row to lefties. He's human. Newsflash...our offense sucks.

 

End of story.

dude why even comment everything you say makes no sense thorton is one of the staples of our pen

 

You don't understand the game.

Maybe we're just not as good as we were hoping this year? Last year we were pathetic offensively and haven't upgraded there whatsoever I don't think you can say, although we got faster for sure...doesn't look like it's translating into runs

 

Brilliant pitch calling by AJP that inning. Cabrera's hurt us all year on inside fastballs, and as someone mentioned, Sizemore couldn't touch the fastball. Hopefully he's on the same bus out of town with Ozzie after this year. He's had a great run here, but it's time for a new catcher.

I don't blame Matt. He was used yesterday in a game we weren't comming back in, and has been used 10 games already into the season. Still though, you can't let that happen.

haha and this is from the guy who says to play kotsay over pierre everyday

We're not much faster, considering Getz would have been the fastest player on this team. Guys like Teahen and Kotsay aren't fast...they're skinny white guys, so everyone assumes they're fast.

Great stuff from you in this thread!!

The stupidity of this team is awesome.

The thing that sucks the most about that move to leave Peavy in is that it's out of character for Ozzie to do that. He'll usually bend backwards to get the starter a quality start with the lead and get out of there. Just a bad move.

Another worthless game for Quentin. He needs to start getting more consistent.

Now this I'll disgree with.

 

I think 75% of it has to do with KW's decision-making process...we just haven't done a good job for a decade in developing talent, with the significant addition of Beckham, but he's only one player.

 

When Ramirez and Quentin proved they both overachieved a bit in 2008 and KW didn't replace that gap, along with shedding Dye/Thome and replacing those guys with Teahen/Pierre/Vizquel/Kotsay...we've regressed since that year and Twins have improved each season and grown more confident.

 

Quentin TRYING WAY TOO HARD and pulling off the ball, popping up. What's new?

Wow Paulie just missed that one! damn it

Haha, of course

dangit, so close Konerko.

up to Andruw Jones

DAMN YOU, FARMER.

 

I really thought that ball Paulie hit was gone the way he was calling it.
