Balta, sure seems like the Sox believed the back injury was hurting Morel's swing

Duh.

Paulie might actually be part robot at this point. Although I think a robot would move faster.

Dear lord that baseball was killed.

 

 

Killt.

Duh.

 

 

Maybe he's a cyborg? If not for the receding hairline and greying goatee, one might think so.

Come on Crain...no need to make things tense.

Please oh please just say no to Brent Morel

Cyborgs are way faster. I saw Terminator.

Konerko had to miss a few games after he was hit in the eye. He's worthless.

Beautiful slider, Jesse!

WHERE'S OUR LIRIANO?

That was just a really bad AB there by Viciedo.

Another decent swing by Alexei...I really don't think he's been as bad as his numbers this season.

Warning track power so far this year

WHERE'S OUR LIRIANO?

 

 

Santiago/Sale/Thornton...minus the 8+ ERA's.

 

It's crazy how valuable he would have been in trade in 2006 before the elbow gave out, versus 6 years later with a bloated contract for the last man out of the bullpen.

 

Hard to blame Smith and Ryan for that, though.

the Cuban Stick Spider have been de-fanged

Yeah, if that was about 15 degrees further to the right that's a double, though. Wasn't a towering fly ball.

WHERE'S OUR LIRIANO?

 

His name is Zach Stewart and he's ok

Definitely less expensive.

 

I guess he's "only" making $5.5 million, but that's still very expensive for a long man.

 

And the Twins probably had to cut Kubel/Cuddyer/Nathan from the budget (particularly the first two) because of bad contracts for guys like Slowey, Liriano and Nishioka.

 

 

Something's not right with Thronton. His K/9 is way down, giving up way too many walks.

Per the Tribune:

How long does Robin stay with thornton?

2nd 6-0 game in 3 games. Gosh is it nice to see Sale in the starting rotation!

Paul Konerko now leads the American League in hitting. Yes that means his average is higher then Josh Hamilton's.

and OBP.

Nice win!

I demand several weeks of production in AAA before I consider playing Brent Morel in the big leagues anymore.
