5-2 which means absolutely nothing with the Cleveland pen...

That was not glorious assault on basepaths, comrade

a fastball? That’s brutal…

I’m not sure walking Dye to get to Thome with 2 out is a good idea.

Solid move there by Geren...

Wouldn't you think Thome would take a strike as wild as Smith was?
Pitching, defense, health.
Nah.
May as well swing at a hittable strike, rather than one of those outside breaking balls he has difficulty laying off of.

crushing?
not sure one game in july means all that much.

9th inning collapse against a rival only a few games back in the division?
Maybe not crushing, but certainly would induce some negative thinking.

I have Jose's girlfriends on tape.
Pitching, defense, health.
Our defense seems much improved since early in the year
Of course, putting Missile at 2nd, Swish at 1B, and BA in center will do that.
Coffee is for closers.
It would be 4 or 5 - 1 A's
if Rob Mackowiak were playing center tonight.
Pitching, defense, health.
A problem.
We had many.

I've been thinking about that.....
it’ll be interesting to see how Ozzie plays it….he should easily be able to find rest for everybody (Q and Dye included)
i like that a lot
but paulie will be back at 1st cause he a veteran and crap. but then again, it seems paulie only hits for one half of a season so maybe things will fall into place.

We need to introduce Hawk and DJ to line drive percentage

Damn...got my hopes up for a chance to gain a game on the Twins tonight.
Looks like we’ll take care of business, but so will the Twins. They are headed to the bottom of the 6th down 5-4. In a matchup of bullpens it’s obvious Twins will win. Oh well.
Why attempt a bunt
when you’re clueless in the fundamentals of bunting?
