  1. The plate P.J. the plate, it's shaped like a diamond!!!!!
  2. Gibson couldn't possibly provide this kind of consistency.
  3. Remember when we were up two runs, like 5 minutes ago?......good times.
  4. Get some chances? If he's not a regular fixture in the lineup for the rest of the season, what's the point? Waste another season trying to find out whether the guy will become a legit MLB hitter? I hope not. Rinse and repeat for the Dozier thread by the way.
  5. They won't send Parms down, they know what he can do there, it would be nice to see him getting a few more at bats but he'll get plenty when either Hammer or Doumit get traded. After that it's up to him, if he continues to struggle for the remainder of the year it will be interesting to see how that alters the team's approach to Morneau in the off season.
  6. Well that makes me feel a lot better about the situation then....
  7. Vinny Pestano...closer........http://www.sherv.net/cm/emo/happy/rolling-on-the-floor-laughing-smiley-emoticon.gif
  8. At this point, it's clear from watching his inconsistency at AAA that this year is not going to be a smooth one. It's clear you haven't watched lately. Then his MLB debut will be vs the Yankees? Probably not. Why not, what if he did well? After the break: the Angels, Mariners, Astros, White Sox, Cleveland, and the White Sox again. These are all pretty light hitting teams right now, apart maybe for CLE. I can see the argument for him succeeding. if he fails against that assortment of lesser teams, there will be a lot of confidence needing to be rebuilt. They're still major league teams, I don't think he's going to suffer untold emotional damage from a little bit of adversity. Why don't we just go with the succeeding arguement, it makes far more sense. I would think that if you wanted to give him a 'cup of coffee' then bring him up for that double header against The Sox on August 9th. He might get rocked or he might do well either way it's only one game, not enough to shake any confidence and certainly enough to whet the appetite. Odds are if he stays at AAA through then he'll be darn close to his innings limit anyway. Or he can spend the off season bitter and bewildered at why he didn't get a legitimate shot at an MLB rotation most people think he's already better than.
  9. So Diamond isn't part of the future but Walters, Deduno and Corriea are?
  10. Do you have a point or are you just casting stones?
  11. I hope he pulls it together soon, for a 6 month consecutive stretch, then we'll really know whatever it is we're waiting to know.
  12. I think it's simply too soon to shop Plouffe, he's not going to return what most advocates here seem to think he will. His potential appears to be high enough and he's shown enough that he's worth exploring until next year's trade deadline. That being said if someone does want to offer high, I'd do it, I don't see Plouffe as a part of this team the next time this team is ready to contend around 2016 or so. If not, we could at least use the bit of power he is capable of providing until then.
  13. Yep, I went back and checked, you heard him correctly, that's what he said.
  14. I like sweeping the White Sox, I really do.
  15. I like Jared Burton, I really do.
  16. Whooooo, whoooo, whooooo!!! That's my boy!!!!!
  17. No kidding! There's missing and then there's that, how on earth do you figure you can get away with that crap to hitters like that?
  18. Dunn definitely did....Jesus H!!!
  19. I think the key with Pelfrey is us finding the right team to trade him to at the best price.
