LU-zah.

NORTH DAKOTA

 

GOAL

 

2-0 NOW

Why are you trying to make things worse?

[USAFChief]

 

159 left

I didn't even realize 159 was here.

[David HK]

 

JHFC.  

 

Not a fan of the moves, Molly.  Not a fan.  

Yeh, Molly's in mid-season form already.  Pfft.

[Foghorn Leghorn]

Tried to warn everyone about Terry Ryan. He clearly has not built a winner, at all.

30+ strikeouts in 3 games.

Teams not good, won't do anything, again...

Only bright side is hoping Ryan gets canned

[Champuckett]

2, 2, 2.

 

Not going to cut it.

Next level. At least you warned the rest of us

[spinowner]

 

Twins lose. Solution = beer.

Coincidentally, Twins win = beer. Either way, I win.

Loser, loser, Surly's boozer.

2, 2, 2.

Unless you're playing the Padres.

Ah, we are starting this already. Goodie.

Yeah this year I either want the twins to make the playoffs, or lose 90 games so they are forced to bring in some new blood (hopefully) we already wasted the primes of Mauer, Santana, Morneau, Liriano, Nathan, etc by not going above and beyond to build a champion, I don't want that to happen with this next crew of talented youngsters.

 

At least Mauer and Escobar look kick ass though, Sano and Buxton will come around, so that is a start.

 

Dozier....yeesh, I hope he turns it around.

Yeah, because only really bad teams have 3-game losing streaks.

[David HK]

This is the chicken dinnah you get when you have a game like this.  Or 3 of them.

 

[James]

Yeah, because only really bad teams have 3-game losing streaks.

But Mauer... And $23M dollars... And... grumble, grumble, grumble...and...

They will probably lose 90 again.

The Twins lose 3, so, therefore, I see a trend of 0-162.

 

However, Joe Mauer hit a home run in 1 out of three games.

 

Therefore, I see a trend of 53 home runs for Mr. Mauer.

 

Also, Mr. Dozier has yet to hit, so, he's gonna go 0 for 567 for the year.

 

Trends are awesome!

[DaveW]

Unless you're playing the Padres.

It helps when you have a rotation of Kershaw, Kazmir and Maeda

 

The twins got shut down by a bunch of #4 type starters.

[Vanimal46]

Missed the game tonight to celebrate National Beer Day instead! After browsing over the thread and checking the box score this was a good one to miss....

Maybe you should have stopped reading around page 10.  You may have enjoyed catching up

I was celebrating national beer day too, but I managed to show up for the game thread.

Or celebrated National Beer Day a little more...enthusiastically. That might've helped too.

Thank you for your dedication

[wavedog]

Another great start of the season like last year. Hopefully the embarrassment of getting swept by the team picked to finish last in the east will spur the team on to the World Series! Remember 1991!

Or maybe the Dodgers were lucky to match up against a bunch of scrubs like the Padres.

 

Maybe a little from column A and a little from colu!n B.

[Blake]

Well, it's been a great ride. Sorry the season ended so soon.

 

Oh, there's still 159 games to go?

 

Well then.

 

Play Ball!!

[David HK]

On a brighter note, right after work, I'm going over to the Hong Kong Sevens for 3 days of debauchery, and some rugby-  and watching NE Pats player Nate Ebner playing for the USA!

I'd say a little more from column A The Dodgers are gonna win 95+, they are a damn good team, if Maeda is for real and Kazmir stays healthy they won't miss Grienke too much

I'm in. I'll meet you there in what I assume will be 31 hours of travel.

[Foghorn Leghorn]

I'll try and look at things from the bright side. Only 3 games I guess. Orioles are also a pretty good team. And a very good home team. But still not a fan of Terry...

Go twins.

[James]

I expect Maeda to be good. I don't expect him the be Grienke good though. I have a feeling Maeda will wear down over a longer season. Next year might be different for him. But I think Grienke will have a better season this year.

 

It is going to be fun watching Maeda though. I'm not sure that people give Japanese pitchers the credit they deserve. The really good ones that crush the NPB seem to do very well in the MLB.
