Benchwarmerjim Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 QUOTE (fathom @ May 15, 2009 -> 07:39 PM) Jim, any idea what's up with Delmon Young. Sounds like a serious family matter. Hope his family is ok, as they seemed very cool when MLB Network showed that amazing documentary on the family. I don't know too much actually. I heard about it on the radio tonight and really haven't checked up on it. But he flew out to California and is on a 'Bereavement' list and will be out 3-7 days. == you all got your wishes. Joe Crede left tonights game with a tweaked lower back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benchwarmerjim Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 yeah, I guess I said that wrong. I get how you Sox fans really dug that guy though. He is a vacuum cleaner at 3B. Obviously, I saw him play some when he was a Sox, but following him everyday, I appreciate him even more (especially after the long list of bad-to-mediocre 3bmen the Twins have had since Koskie's glory days in the early 2000s) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThunderBolt Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 Devil Rays, s***, Rays come back from seven down to tie up the Indians on a Zobrist homer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 (edited) Twins choke away the win in NY, as Nathan blows a 4-2 lead. They always seem to struggle in NYC. Matsui and Swisher failed by Melky Cabrera came up with a two out single to score the final two runs with the bases loaded. CLE blew their huge lead at TB as well. Indians' bullpen is worse than our offense, if that's humanly possible. CLE has now officially blown a 7-0 lead. BJ Upton gets his first homer of the season, walkoff against former Sox 05 pitcher Luis Vizcaino. Good thing we didn't pick him up! The biggest problem we have is that DJ Carrasco and Broadway will go on the DL soon with how many innings they're pitching.

Benchwarmerjim Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 from the StarTrib about Joe Crede Update: Manager Ron Gardenhire said Crede had back spasms and his hamstrings were tightening up. “So we got him out of there as quick as we could, and we’ll see what happens. We’ll just go day-to-day.” he has had some Hammy problems of late. It happened after playing in the rain in Baltimore a few weeks back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThunderBolt Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 The Royals ushers are giving out their food for free, because of an hour and a half rain delay. That's damn cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustWin Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 Holy cow, I thought the Indians and Twins were both going to win tonight for sure. Just saw that they both blew their leads (especially surprised about the Indians). The AL Central is giving the NL West a good battle for worst division in baseball. Can we please, please win a few games in a row and at least get back to .500? Or at the very least just play good, solid baseball? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsider2k5 Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 15, 2009 -> 07:53 AM) Once he tweeked his back this season was over. I wouldn't be surprised if the samething happened again around June 1st. Joe doesn't seem to be able to get more than a couple of months at a time of his back.

Benchwarmerjim Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 any Yankee Stadium is a house of horrors for the Twins. Under the Ron Gardenhire regime, they have 3 wins. 3 win in 8 years. thats pretty much impossible to do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fathom Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 So yeah, Justin Verlander looks amazing. If he can regain form and be an ace, I don't see anyone staying close to the Tigers this year in the ALC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 (edited) Verlander, after really struggling early, has his BAA at the .212 mark and is at a pace for roughly 300-330 strikeouts. He's Zach Greinke again except flying under the radar because of the horrible start he got off to this season. The one thing about Verlander is he isn't able to pitch deep into games because of all the strikeouts and some wildness, but he doesn't need to worry about it with the bullpen they have going right now. Six games over .500 now unless the bullpen implodes like Kerry Wood last night against KC. Edited May 21, 2009 by caulfield12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
