    I'm increasingly disappointed by Caratini. There's a pretty big hole in the lineup when he spells Jeffers. I know one can't expect too much from a back-up catcher but I'm tired on watching him flail away at the plate, of late.

    How about packaging Lewis and Wallner for some decent relievers? A change of scenery could be good for both of them and the pen is a disaster. I think someone might take a chance on Lewis because there really is great potential trapped inside by, I believe, his psyche.

    I think that Mr. Prielipp may be like the IT guys at work or the distance runners on a track team...all business and no time (or aptitude?) for humor. He may have a bit of magic in that left arm though and I'm eager to watch his career unfold.

    JD, don't move Keaschall, he's slumping but always hustles. He will be back on top soon enough. I like the kid!

    Painful, painful pen!

    Nice win--the Mets' starter has a big hook! Unfortunately, I'm still pouting over the three game sweep at home by the Reds. That will hurt for a while.

    A young pitcher and an elbow--they will be cautious. He will rest a month at least and then work back slowly in the minors. Pitchers need to be seasoned and many, of course, need Tommy John. It's all in the game.

    Whew...at least the Wild won! Yeah, the bullpen is ridiculous--a train of ineptitude each giving up his own run in his own special way. It's an interesting team with some unexpected potential cropping up, but the pen must be addressed as soon as possible. Trade a prospect plus Larnach and Wallner for a couple of decent arms. Maybe the Yankees would take a shot at those two lefties with occasional power to complement their short porch in right?

    Great pitching, bad hitting, and bad uniforms! Sad...

    Calvin's "regime" created two World Series champions? What am I missing? He had sold the team before the 1987 and 1991 titles-yes? Are you assuming that he laid the groundwork for them somehow even though he sold the team in 1984? Otherwise, I think he was a batboy for the Senators when they won it in 1924...but he shouldn't get too much credit for that!
  11. knothole61
    With Larnach, and Wallner as well, when they hit 'em they stay hit...lots of power there.
  12. knothole61
    Jack, I think they won it today with their power..
  13. knothole61
    Well put...
  14. knothole61
    Yeah, Buxton is a streaky player, but he's a year older now and has been cold for quite a while...he wasn't worth much in the World Baseball Classic either. He was great last year and will likely come around soon, although you never can tell.

    Aggies, try a hot meatball sandwich on toasted Italian bread.

    An amazing series! Let's see: I mocked Gray and he hits a grand slam; I called for Lee to be sent back to St. Paul and he wins a game; I told Peter that the Twins would be lucky to win one from Detroit and we swept them! If I keep this up we might win a pennant...or rather, I suppose I should I say that we have no chance of that-yes?
  17. knothole61
    Poor Lee, he looks like he's in a bit of a stupor at times. I think that a hitch in St. Paul may be in the offing for him.
  18. knothole61
    Wasn't that something? Imagine the possibilities...
  19. knothole61
    The Blue Jays are reeling at the moment: they are 4-5 (one game better than us) and were just swept by the White Sox. They may still be suffering a hangover from a World Series wherein, if only Kiner-Falefa had run through home plate and not slid, they would now be world champions! So the Twins might take that series. It will be tough to win more than a game against Detroit and their strong (Skubal and Valdez) lefty pitching, however.
  20. knothole61
    Dave, it feels every bit that bad! Even Buxton I wearing a tight collar. Not very many "professional at bats" either, the kind the Yankees almost alway take!
  21. knothole61
    And I'm suffering the ignominy of having claimed on Thursday that Gray was "not ready for primetime." Maybe I can have a little credit for an effective use of the "reverse jinx"?
  22. knothole61
    JD, Egg on my face after the grand slam! I'm old enough (God knows) to know better than to make such unqualified pronouncements early in a baseball season. Good for the kid...this team may give us more thrills this season than anyone expected.
  23. knothole61
    When Bell hits 'em, like Killebrew in the day, they go high and long and are gone without a doubt. We had to urge the homers by Wallner and Clemens out of the park in the ninth last night but on Bell's shot we just sat and appreciated it.
  24. knothole61
    Old Hat, I'm not as pessimistic as some but I do agree that shortstop will be a black hole until management sees fit to bring up Kaelen Culpepper or makes a blockbuster trade which, of course, is not likely. I fear that Lee has hit the peak of his career already and is fading fast. He could end up as just a memory soon, like Miranda. And I certainly don't want to see him back at short. Caratini made a laughable base running blunder, but do we know if the new coach urged him on? If so he needs a talking to. Gray is, I feel, simply not ready for primetime. Clemens, on the other hand, has too much value as a gritty player with some power and a good attitude to forsake at this point.
  25. knothole61
    Yes, and Giants' reliever Ryan Walker!
