  1. QUOTE(WHarris1 @ May 8, 2007 -> 10:05 PM) Great f***in AB. Looking forward to running out of pitchers if we somehow make it to 11. We still have Masset and Sisco. The problem is we have 15 games in 16 days and I have a feeling Danks is going to struggle for some reason tomorrow...meaning two "pen" days in a row.
  2. QUOTE(WHarris1 @ May 8, 2007 -> 10:01 PM) I love when Ozzie manages to use 3 pitchers in one inning and we are forced to play extras. Puts us in a great situation. You have to play for the win ASAP on the road. Your best pitchers do their job and there's no reason to not have Jenks close the game in the 9th.
  3. QUOTE(RME JICO @ May 8, 2007 -> 09:48 PM) 24 pitches for Nathan on 3 outs, wow. At least they all worked the count a little. Does Iguchi's swing look slow as hell or is it just the MLB.tv? Blyleven said it....like he was reaching or searching for the ball, called them "akward" swings to be nice.
  4. QUOTE(fathom @ May 8, 2007 -> 09:42 PM) Pitchers must love facing our hitters....they can throw all the hangers they want, and no damage will come of it. I'm so thankful we didn't extend Dye, Iguchi, or Crede. Straight down the middle...thanks for playing, Joe. Grab a seat.
  5. QUOTE(Greg The Bull Luzinski @ May 8, 2007 -> 09:42 PM) Dye really needs to take Iguchi with him and join Brian Anderson in AAA. The only good thing about tonight is Torii Hunter is quickly pricing himself out of Minnesota's salary range when he hits the market.

  7. QUOTE(Capn12 @ May 8, 2007 -> 09:33 PM) Every. f***ing. Time. Our "vaunted" bullpen just isn't that good...7 blown saves, 10 for 17 so far this season. That's not good enough. The Twins lost 3 games ALL last season they were leading going into the 7th, we've already lost 3 this season in that category (CLE, at Oak, at Detroit)
  8. QUOTE(fathom @ May 8, 2007 -> 09:31 PM) Clutch Crede strikes again Gold Glovers make that play...watch it come back to bite us.
  9. QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ May 8, 2007 -> 09:29 PM) Give me a f***ing break. One ball was hit hard that inning. Buckling my ass... I love when people here become psychiatrists... Find a single Royals' fan who is upset Mac is gone...I dare you. I've lived in KC and watched his entire career, he's not good against the best teams.
  10. QUOTE(The Ginger Kid @ May 8, 2007 -> 09:23 PM) shocking. mcdoogal gets pounded. And there's the essence of the trade...against really good teams, in difficult circumstances, Mac buckles. It's why the Royals parted with him so easily, he's not reliable when you really need him to get an out, his control just isn't good because he has no idea where his FB is going. This Rabe kid has some pop...better be careful.
  11. QUOTE(RME JICO @ May 8, 2007 -> 09:19 PM) Mark freakin Redmond beats out an infield hit. Great play Gooch. It has been all downhill since his acrobatic play last year. The Twins ALWAYS seem to take advantage of any mistakes they're presented with...unfortunately, Ozuna/Cintron/Mack aren't any better at 2B. We're closing in on 7 blown saves...great!
  12. QUOTE(RME JICO @ May 8, 2007 -> 09:19 PM) Mark freakin Redmond beats out an infield hit. Great play Gooch. It has been all downhill since his acrobatic play last year. Twins' announcers complaing Royals traded MacDougal and Sisco within the division. Royals also had Burgos and Affeldt, should have been a great pen.
  13. QUOTE(RockRaines @ May 8, 2007 -> 09:17 PM) PODS at this point isnt better at much. Ryan has been walking at a decent clip (at least seen some pitches), has shown about the same speed as PODS and is head and shoulders better in the field. If Ryan continues to hit 250-275, he is a more valuable player. Another reason I think we'll see a new 2B next year...Iguchi's defense just isn't there this year, compared to the level he set in 2005 and 2006.
  14. QUOTE(fathom @ May 8, 2007 -> 09:11 PM) Doesn't Guerrier always dominate us? Our Matt Guerrier=Broadway, Haeger, McCullough, Phillips A Junior Pirahnas shirt to Nicky Punto for that catch, sure to be a Web Gem
  15. QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ May 8, 2007 -> 09:07 PM) While all of that is true, Brian Anderson isn't in any danger (at this point in time) of taking Sweeney's job. Podsednik, OTOH, is. It's a question that needs to start to be asked -- is Sweeney a better baseball player right now than Podsednik? Considering Pods pretty much won't be 100% for the rest of the season -- Ozzie pretty much admitted as much -- is there any facet of the game that he's better than Sweeney at? We'll have to wait and see where Ryan's OBP settles in... Power Speed--slight edge to Pods Fielding---dare I even comment Throwing---" " Hitting for average--maybe Pods? Plate patience/walks---we'll see Bunting---not enough evidence Hitting to opposite field/contact---Pods strikes out quite a bit for a leadoff guy with no power I'll have to admit, never thought Guerrier would have this type of career as a middle reliever in our division...but the Marte deal was still a steal at the time, Guerrier was a bust with the Pirates, who viewed him "as the next Greg Maddux" (direct McClendon quote)
  16. QUOTE(fathom @ May 8, 2007 -> 09:04 PM) Crap, I didn't want anyone on base with Morneau up. Ozzie better get Aardsma or MacDougal up in the pen. I wonder what it would take for Rivera to lose his job? Farnsworth is not really an option as closer. I don't think they'll go for the Dave Aardsma for Cano deal...although you would have an interesting discussion, how many Sox fans would trade Aardsma for Melky Cabrera.
  17. QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ May 8, 2007 -> 09:01 PM) Why is the comparison vs Anderson? I'll fix that for you. Is there any doubt, whatsoever, that Ryan Sweeney is a flat out better ballplayer than Brian AndersonScott Podsednik? Darn, those Tigers.... Well, maybe the Angels can slow down the Indians a little out on the Left Coast.
  18. QUOTE(RockRaines @ May 8, 2007 -> 09:00 PM) Is there any doubt, whatsoever, that Ryan Sweeney is a flat out better ballplayer than Brian Anderson? Only if drunk German brewgirls (or is she Czech?) met both Anderson and Sweeney at a surfer's convention would Anderson be the pick right now...
  19. QUOTE(The Ginger Kid @ May 8, 2007 -> 08:55 PM) my money says torii hunter is playing in st. louis next year Oh, no, that means we will have Edmonds in LF, Erstad in CF and Rowand in RF.
  20. QUOTE(TheOcho @ May 8, 2007 -> 08:44 PM) Thank f***ing god Aj, THANK YOU. Maybe we won't be last in the AL in BA with RISP after this game?
  21. QUOTE(TheOcho @ May 8, 2007 -> 08:02 PM) That's the third pic I've seen as your avatar in the past 30 mins. Keep it. I went from my wife (separated, she's Russian) to Keeley Hazell and have now settled with the "white" connection with Jessica Alba until we score 6. It might be up for awhile, unfortunately...
  22. QUOTE(TheOcho @ May 8, 2007 -> 07:59 PM) I hold my breath for double play balls. Oh Pablo.. I've brought out Jessica Alba and the "white bikini" to rally our offense...it will stay as my avatar until we score at least 6 runs in a game.
  23. QUOTE(Mr. Showtime @ May 8, 2007 -> 07:40 PM) Is this where I'm supposed to say where's our Morneau? Joe Borchard?
  24. QUOTE(TheOcho @ May 8, 2007 -> 07:34 PM) Boobs. Gio looks like a cross between Ralph Macchio (Karate Kid) and Wilson Alvarez.
  25. QUOTE(fathom @ May 8, 2007 -> 07:33 PM) Ha, nice uppercut swing by AJP. And you can't cancel the post-game show.
