Well that was fortunate. 

[wsnydes]

 

Personally, I recommend taking up substance abuse. Much more effective than meditation.

I'm far past that.  I ran out of scotch a long time ago.

Try listening to a little AC/DC while you're at it.

I've got Battery by Metallica on repeat.

[wsnydes]

That's the sort of situational hitting that good teams possess. 

[S.]

This bullpen...and now we have a 90mph throwing Perkins added into the mix! 

[Aggies7]

UNREAL

[USAFChief]

**** ******** ******* the *******'ing *****.

 

 

[Mike Sixel]

I vote they not sign any RPs in teh off season again. Worked well this year....

[wsnydes]

Now I've got a Twisted Transistor...

Ryan Pressly, your plane to Rochester is boarding.  But you can make Gibson carry your bag.

[Jerr]

0-2 and serve it up.........................

[USAFChief]

 

That's the sort of situational hitting that good teams possess. 

That's the sort of 0-2 pitch bad teams throw.

[Aggies7]

People who factored in to today's game that I don't want to see on the roster next year:

 

Gibson

Boshers

Pressly

Molitor

Grossman too.

[Darius]

Can we sell again now?

[h2oface]

Don't you love it how people keep saying stuff like.... "but Pressly has good stuff......."

[h2oface]

Now he will get a strikeout. When the pressure is off. 

 

Good thing Molitor pulled Gee when he did, instead of letting him get stretched out.....

There's just something about the way the Twins get slaughtered by good teams that makes me think maybe they aren't a good team.  I dunno, might be something there.

[mickeymental]

cleveland shoulda bunted.

[wsnydes]

I didn't think that teams took BP between games of a double header...

[USAFChief]

 

cleveland shoulda bunted.

or fake bunted, so we could pick off the runner on 2nd.

[Aggies7]

F this, I have grass to cut.

Hey, that's proven to be an effective strategy!

Anything less than 3 non scrap heap relievers acquired this offseason is a failure. Also, spend some money and get Darvish. Realistically, no one in our bullpen this season should have a guaranteed spot next year.

[h2oface]

Can we go for 3?

[USAFChief]

I'm still fine with Pressly being in the bullpen next year.  Seriously.  He DOES have good stuff, and they aren't going to replace everybody.

I am NOT fine with Molitor.  Let's not forget this inning starts with Boshers giving up a ringing single off the LF wall, and then a double to a RH hitter.

[h2oface]

At least we have Grossman in as a defensive replacement for Kepler in the 8th and 9th.
