QUOTE(kyyle23 @ May 14, 2006 -> 09:31 AM) There isnt anything wrong with admiring an ex-player from afar. This looks like a deal where everyone ends up happy. I'll give you that he may be better than average but I remember a guy who was a no-show in the post season, making all kinds of baserunning blunders. Guess I'm puzzled by the 20 threads that have been started for him.

Have I missed something here? Are we in last place and wondering why we traded away a 10-time batting title champ and gold glover? He was an OK player that played with a lot of grit but get over it. He's gone. Our team is way better after the trade we made with him.

How come a comeback seemed more likelier last year with a less explosive offense?

Thornton is useless. KW needs to improve this pen at the deadline.

QUOTE(Flash Tizzle @ May 13, 2006 -> 08:49 PM) I'll say this right now.... Twins make it to the playoffs within the immediate future--with a healthy Santana and Liriano in the rotation--they're winning a World Series. Those two possibly pitching three times between them in a 7 game series will be tough to overcome. Not to mention the other coming out of the bullpen in a pivotal game 7, ala Randy Johnson. You don't win World Series because of 2 guys. You need a great team.

yay Thornton in to give up 2 more insurance runs for the Twins.

Lets hope Nathan has a rare lousy outing.

Bad starting and relief pitching, virtually no offense and lousy umps = 3 game losing streak.

QUOTE(CYGarland @ May 13, 2006 -> 08:34 PM) Don't worry, the Tigers won't keep this up all year........ Trust me You have a crystal ball or something? Give me next week's lotto numbers.

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ May 13, 2006 -> 08:32 PM) Look at the Sox record, and then the rest of the AL. It might make you feel better. Watching us lose 3 in a row to sub .500 teams isn't all that heartwarming.

These past 3 games make me ill just thinking about them. Virtually nothing positive to take from them.

How many runs has our awesome staff given up in the last 2+ games now?

Game over

Last year we had a s***load of come from behind wins late in the game. Lets get one here.

Mercy!

Lets show the youngster who the champs are.

s***. Thought it was tied.

Great. Liriano warming up.

I love when Hawk is this pissed.

Well this is ruining my night.

f***

Pathetic officiating tonight.

WTF is this. He swung!

Definitely a shift in momentum.
