southsider2k5 Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 21, 2010 -> 07:42 PM) Tampa has a pretty damn good pen with Soriano anchoring them. They're the best team in the AL, IMO. I thought that was the twins... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Allen Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 Hawk is talking about this team error. Why would owners want to approve that? All it would do is lower ERAs and make pitchers more expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're the best team in the AL, IMO. And Soriano's fastball has really been down this year. Only 91-92. He used to throw REALLY hard when he first came up with the M's, not unlike Sweaty Freddy.

fathom Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 22, 2010 -> 01:42 AM) Unless you want to see Jordan Danks, there is nothing they can do now. Agreed, there's nothing they can do. I truly feel they blew this season in the offseason, and they're in such a large hole already, it's very troublesome. The Twins just seem like the type of team that's not going to go on many extended losing streaks. With Liriano throwing well, their rotation is better than that of the White Sox.

Rays are the best team, but Twins will win more due to being in a terrible division. Boston fans have to be very nervous about their chances to make the postseason with 2 superior teams in their own division. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why, it's not like we'd spend it to outbid others for free agents? Haven't done it in over a decade, they're not likely to start now. Let PK, Jenks and AJP go, and free up some money for trades.

And try to sell off Linebrink, even if they have to subsidize $2-4 million...I know, not KW's and JR's style. They did it once that I can think of, with Ray Durham going to the A's for Adkins.

Time to get completely rid of the leftovers from 2005 (AJP, Konerko, Jenks, Buehrle) and move on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcgrad70 Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 Why does consistent excellence seem to elude any organization owned and operated by Jerry Reinsdorf. It is very clear that he is a businessman first and sportsman a distant 10th. Frankly, he's not very good at either one. What a shame this great city is stuck with him and the McCaskey family. They are international embarrassments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg775 Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 OK, Tampa has nine runs and counting tonight. Remember the game we scored 9 or 11 runs or something and somebody posted how the next night we wouldn't score squad and we didn't? You wait, this will have no effect on Tampa tomorrow. They will score runs. Ten losses already. What a joke. Are we turning into Baltimore? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
