Speaking for myself... I was very pleased with the Worley acquisition. I was very sad to lose Revere... I was a huge Revere fan... but I thought that Worley and May was incredible compensation in return. On the rest of the discussion. Why are the Cubs being used as the shining light example? It seems that Terry Ryan has made moves with the future in mind but is being criticized for what is happening on the field right now. The Cubs have been making moves with the future in mind but are not criticized for what is happening right now. The Twins and Cubs have the same record so they should be equally criticized for current performance. As for who has done better for the future... We don't know yet... We will have to wait for the actual future.
Lipstick on my mind... Reminds me... (Kinda)... Of the Stephen Wright bit. "I went on a picnic with my girlfriend. I don't know how she did it, but she got poison ivy on her brain. The only way she could scratch it was to think about sandpaper".
Twins: SP Mike Pelfrey LF Thomas 2B Bernier DH Morneau C. Doumit RF Herrmann 3B Plouffe 1B Colabello CF Hicks SS Florimon Angels: SP Jered Weaver LF Shuck CF Trout DH Pujols 1B Trumbo 2B Kendrick 3B Callaspo C. Iannetta RF Cowgill SS Aybar Things to think about today: 1. Think about a Sweep... The Twins could sweep the series and leave happy as they head to Seattle. 2. Think about Chris Herrman... A Grand Slam... How happy is he today. Only in the lineup because Joe's wife has a poor sense of timing. 3. Think about Ryan Doumit... He wasn't hitting all that well and I told him to knock it off yesterday... He listened. 4. Think about Mike Pelfrey... He's been pitching nicely of late... If he continues doing that... We could sweep. 5. Think about addresses... I was looking for an address last night... When I got to the block and I was trying to read the house numbers for the correct address... I turned the radio down... Why did I do that?
Because... It leaves less time to get yourself set. It can be done... But... In that situation... If Hicks fails because he was late to square. Hicks will be in the dog house. Gardy... Wants the bunt down... The infield was already in... Nothing to fool any one with.
