  1. I'm reserving any real "dominant rotation" optimism until all these guys prove they can consistently stay on the field. Until then, it's just hope.
  2. In his present state, he's not good to anybody, so if he needs surgery I hope he gets it done ASAP. The season is lost, so there's no point in trying to get him back on the field this year.
  3. If you just step back and look only at their record, they're about where I expected them to be. It only "feels" slightly better this year because the AL has crapped the bed, Royce & Lee are getting better, and Culpepper is bringing some hope for the future. In most other years we would've been eliminated already despite the improvements.
  4. Does it really matter if they miraculously make the payoffs and get swept in the first round? That seems like the best case scenario, and not much better than just missing the playoffs.
  5. It really grinds my gears to see Buck in no shape to be on the field, but everybody insists he's such a trooper for working through it in hopes of reviving his game. It's over, at least for this year. Anybody with a pair of eyes can tell he's finished. He's actively hurting the team by being on the field, and having him out there isn't something to be admired- it should be ridiculed.
  6. I'm OK with almost any move where we trade away guys I've never heard of before, and this one fits the bill.
  7. I love the pinstripes, the script, and the cap. I always have. That is all.
  8. I loved it- a lot of fun. The good-natured ripping is very entertaining. A good longer-term compromise would be Cory with at least 2 players every game. When you have multiple players in the booth it seems to loosen everybody up. Doubt the Pohlads would want to pay for that though.
  9. A little competition can be a great motivator. I hope Tristan Gray continues to perform well so he lights a little fire under Lee. I'm starting to adjust my expectations downward for Lee's ceiling.
  10. "Reinventing" is doing a lot of heavy lifting here. Perhaps a better description would be "cooked guy is desperate to stay in the big leagues"?
  11. I can't even muster the energy to make a witty, snide comment anymore.
  12. Just stop and think for a moment how bad you have to be not to make this bullpen.
