The Ginger Kid

bring in Thornton!! I like the massacre, the slow bleeding is bulls***.

when the wheels come off they really come off

5-0 before this inning is over?

QUOTE (fathom @ May 1, 2011 -> 12:22 PM) Someone needs to get fired. My prediction is Walker on Thursday. didn't they just tell them all their jobs were safe?

big inning coming.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ May 1, 2011 -> 12:18 PM) I will say Hawk really hasn't blamed umpires for any losses this year, at least in the games I've watched. true, he's not trying to whitewash it too bad. But his insistence that this team is going to wake up and have a huge turnaround is all propoganda, imo. Sure, they may play better but that doesn't mean they're going to be more than a .500 club. It might just be one of those years. Hell, we're just one injury to a major player away from going into a complete dive.

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ May 1, 2011 -> 12:16 PM) That is the 64K dollar question, but if we split are we both equally bad? i guess you're right. I could however see a sweep of a hated rival having a real impact on one or the other. you know that both are looking to break out.

wonder if the twins visit will turn around their season. more intriguing, who's worse? us or them?

Sox and Twins head into May 9 games out. Guess that's why they play the games, huh?

QUOTE (jeffro2525 @ Apr 30, 2011 -> 07:12 PM) AJ didn't cost us the series. We weren't scoring enough for it to matter. he kind of did, but it's not even worth the point of discussion because it's just rearranging deck chairs on the titanic. April's almost over. Does it matter? Hope so.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 30, 2011 -> 07:12 PM) Ginger, couldn't agree with you more about AJ's defense killing us this series. He's given the Orioles numerous runs already due to not being able to block pitches in the dirt. I was pissed off at this team last season but now I'm just disgusted. The team re-signed guys like AJ for this s***? Can he throw anyone out? Will Pierre ever steal a base again? Ha! And poor Beckham. Man, I hope that guy has a girlfriend to go home to.

what do you do with matt thornton, just keep running him out there? He just looks so resigned to suckage that if he were anyone else you'd think about sending them down to get their head straight. on another note, I get that Harrelson is a homer. I've listened to him for years. But now he's trying to tell us what a great job Alexi has done this season, and how it's not his fault, this when he's made a handful of costly errors to date. I'm not bagging on Alexi but I'm sure as s*** not about to praise him either. Anyone else feel like AJ cost us this series?

I've only seen Jake pitch once in person, a game a few years ago in Dodger Stadium. His FB was between 94-96 and his off speed stuff was unfair. What I wouldn't give to see that again but in a WS uniform.

how long before casilla is done in minny?

has there been a players only meeting yet, or even a closed door meeting with the team and coaches? Captain?

gets in a hole and has to chase the pitchers pitch.

just can't pull the trigger can he

come on gordon, find something to carry over to tomorrow

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Apr 29, 2011 -> 08:04 PM) Twins lose, Twins lose....yay, we're not the worst team in the major leagues at least until tomorrow. I want to keep that team right where we can see them. I still believe they're the favorites to win the division, once they get everyone healthy and find their mojo. We're very, very fortunate it's the Indians and not the Twins who are playing so well. Like Stoney said, they'll keep hitting but the pitching will catch up to them.

like Jermaine Dye always said, you know you're going to lose 60 games. Period.

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Apr 29, 2011 -> 08:00 PM) f*** that made me LMAO

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 29, 2011 -> 07:59 PM) Both...from that draft, it's crazy how good Smoak looks now compared to what he looked like last year. Texas is going to regret that one, but, it did get them to the WS. I go with Wieters, but just barely.

thornton with a 1,2,3 inning. wow.

Wieters vs. Posey...who do you like?

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 29, 2011 -> 07:53 PM) Ha, don't get certain people started on the leadership ability of The Captain. Yeah, sacred ground.
