    Checking back on the PbyP, it looks like Sale had a hiccup in the fourth. I guess three will have to stand up. Hughes seems to be 2015 Hughes, so I would call the lead uncomfortable.
  2. stringer bell
    I see Buck is having a little more trouble with Sale on the hill as compared with Mr. Danks.

    If Rogers can relieve, yes try it. We don't know if he can pitch every other day and get warmed up quickly. I would dispute Shane's assertion that Thompson was good in May. No, he was outstanding in April, but May was not good--13 hits in 9.2 innings. The deterioration has continued in June.

    I heard a snippet of Terry Ryan on Sunday's pregame show. It sounds like there is no rush recalling Santana. However, if the Twins are trotting Eduardo Nuñez out to shortstop regularly, I think there is room for Danny back in the majors. Santana played center field last night for the Red Wings. I wonder if this means the Twins see his eventual role as a utility player. As far as left handed relievers go, I don't believe in Thielbar much. He managed to deceive hitters hit first trip around the majors, since then he hasn't been very good. At Rochester, he was terrible early (WHIP over 2.00), but has pitched much better lately. If I'm GM, I give Duensing a little more time and trade off Thompson for Santana. However, I don't think anyone in the Twins' organization is the answer to left handed (non-closer) relief.

    Unlike Brock, I've never been a Republican leaner. However, back in the day, I could and would vote for a Republican candidate if he was clearly superior to the alternative. The platform and practice of today's Republican party make that impossible for me. I will vote for the Democrat in the next presidential election, because a Republican "trifecta" of Federal officeholders scares the bejabbers out of me. Republican "fiscal responsibility" starts with the wealthy getting theirs and everyone else paying for it. It has resulted in today's supposed good economic times where the middle class is shrinking and opportunity exists for fewer people.

    Personally, I think they should trade for someone because I don't see any LH solutions on the horizon. That would mean a bullpen arm that they would keep this year and next at least.

    I just read that he bought the gun 25 miles from home.

    OK, here's my reasons for believing the Obama hatred is racism. There is disdain and disgust for the opposition party, but not the assumption of unworthiness that Republicans have repeated over and over. If Obama were white, I don't think his birth would have been questioned, nor would there be sneering about him being a community organizer.

    Wheels coming off.
  10. stringer bell
    We haven't even talked about guns yet.

    Plouffe is getting really good at charging the ball and making the throw.
  12. stringer bell
    Speaking of the Red Wings, their starting center fielder for tonight's game was.....................................Danny Santana.

    One can say that the reason Molitor left Pelfrey in is because his bullpen options were so bad.
  14. stringer bell
    And he stays in to face Melky.
  15. stringer bell
    Brave decision by Molitor. I don't want to see Aaron Thompson in a tie game with RISP.
  16. stringer bell
    I believe that Brian should do the thinking.
  17. stringer bell
    For some reason I think Pelf is done and I think it is an inning too early.
  18. stringer bell
    Good news--Nunez lost his helmet!
  19. stringer bell
    Oh, yes. Yaz and Rose Hose stole the pennant in a great four team race. All four teams were flawed, but the Red Sox had the best story and the best player. Not much offense in that era.

    My limited view of Coke is that he can throw hard enough to break a plane of glass. To me, he seems lose either concentration or confidence. History is filled with relievers who suddenly are effective after struggling. Maybe it could be Coke or maybe someone in the organization. I think Coke would have a far better chance than anybody in the system.
  21. stringer bell
    On the plus side, the Sox are hitting the ball on the ground. On the minus side, Pelf's WHIP today is 2.50.
  22. stringer bell
    Big Pelf pitches around it.
  23. stringer bell
    That non-error hurt.
  24. stringer bell
    Oh great! We have to watch Soto throwing the ball back to the pitcher again tonight. Can't he just drop the ball each time and have the ump throw it back?

    Good conversation here. While many good points have been made, I have been wearied by the veiled hate by both sides and the cynicism of politicians in manipulating voters. Have we come a long way? Maybe. How many of us took note that Buxton's girlfriend (fiancee?) is white and blonde? How many of us look down on black kids with their pants down way low? I do, but I think it is generational rather than racial. However, most of us can wholeheartedly cheer for Hunter or Buxton without regard to their race. I don't know what the solution is, but honesty has to be part of it. Too many of us suspect people of other races are inferior in one respect or another. It isn't "us vs. them" and black people are no less Americans than I am. There are so many facets to this issue and opinions are all over the board and the worst part is denial. As soon as Obama comments, conservatives said he was "playing the race card". I admit that I believe that much of the hatred towards the president is racially motivated. One last thought: status quo isn't good enough. Something needs to be done or things will only get worse.
