On the bright side if this is the series that starts the downfall, we'll be able to pinpoint it.

[DocBauer]

I could get Wheeler to be a long man, get his first shot and all, but...nothing personal...i didn't understand Rucinski. Understand it even less now.

[Aggies7]

Cleveland up 5-0 in the 5th

 

*ducks*

[Blake]

 

A. No guarentee that Rucinski or Wheeler don't get lit up.

 

B. Rucinski was up warming but he was sat back down after the Astros got close so that is Paul saying I don't trust him. 

 

C. If you don't trust him to throw... You sent Vargas down for no reason at all. 

 

D. If you sent Vargas down for no reason at all... The Front Office and the Manager are not on the same page. 

 

E. I got nothing for E but I like doing things in Fives. 

Hi Five!!

[Jerr]

PLEASE END THIS!!!!!!!!

[BoofBonser]

 

LOL! So much for the rested arms... Rucinski just isn't good.

Hey, 2 runs > 11 runs

[diehardtwinsfan]

I'm going to go with the bright side being that they might actually start thinking of making some call ups from the minors...  Just checked in to see how the game went, and I'm checking out now...

[jud6312]

Hopefully they didn't pre-pay for a second night in the hotel for Rucinski.

 

This guy is awful.

[Riverbrian]

 

They will call up Mike Quade from Rochester, but then not use him.

 

This is Post of the Day

It's too bad nobody could have seen this coming during the off season.........

 

 

Then again, there was new office furniture to buy and new name plates to put on the doors, so who could blame them.

[TwinsCD]

I guess there was a reason Rucinski was sat down in the pen.

This is the mother of all bullpen meltdowns. So far 3 outs, 11 hits, 3 walks, and 13 runs.

[Aggies7]

I'm starting to understand why Molitor was hesitant to put this fellow in

[Riverbrian]

May 29... I put an X on the Calendar. 

[glunn]

 

Like I said... There was no guarantee that Rucinski or Wheeler don't get lit up either. 

 

The big question to me is still all about trust. 

 

What is the point of calling them up if you don't want to use them. 

 

Why is Vargas down in AAA exactly? 

Rucinski is not getting it done, but I see no reason not to now put in Wheeler .

I'm feeling a bit like Tiger after this disaster.

[jud6312]

Hey!

 

Congratulations to Craig, Ryan, Drew and Matt for becoming a part of Twins history!

 

They can (and should) take away your spot on the 25-man roster, but they can't just erase your name from the record book.

The caterer messed up  the buffet order.

[DocBauer]

Hey...13 runs given up by the bullpen. A new Twins record! Congratulations Twins bullpen!

[magiklair]

Thank you management! You did a great job addressing the bullpen in the off-season..

[Riverbrian]

It was the cause of my off season tears. 

 

I knew they had a lot to do meeting a new staff...  I knew that the SP FA's sucked but there were good bullpen arms to get and they should have tried harder in this specific area. 

 

 

[Riverbrian]

Might as well let it burn now. The Bullpen will still be wiped out tomorrow.

 

Save Wheeler for tomorrow. We will need someone that he doesn't trust to throw for tomorrows game. 

[jud6312]

I'd say they could save some money by chartering a plane to fly Pressley, Rucinski, Belisle and Breslow to Rochester, but the fact of the matter is there's only one of them I wouldn't DFA before the game ends.

[Jerr]

 

Hey...13 runs given up by the bullpen. A new Twins record! Congratulations Twins bullpen!

Oops another new record at 14!

[Aggies7]

Mauer saves a run!

[twinsnorth49]

This may seem obvious, but the Twins have a lot of work to do in the bottom of the 9th.

[jud6312]

 

May 29... I put an X on the Calendar. 

I was thinking Kintzler's blown save on the 28th would be a good place to start, but it's pretty close.

Alright

 

There is still ink in the marker. 

 

Two X's it is. 

[Jerr]

A mercy out from Houston, thank you!!!!!

[DocBauer]

Guessing Rucinski won't have to unpack much
