    Misery loves company. Plus, I have nachos!

    I just left to check on them and another run scored too. I guess I can't leave my couch.

    I don't fault the twins for trading Hicks either. They dealt from a position of depth for a position of need.

    Seriously? I leave to throw some nachos in the oven and I come back to a 3-0 deficit?!

    10 year old me doesn't care, wants it regardless. 37 year old me...sides with 10 year old me! Hey, it's lunch time and I'm hungry.

    Most unsuccessful band ever?

    I tell you one thing, it would be pretty boring to be sitting at the same Blackjack table as those three...

    I think the #2 pencil is still in second place because the #1 pencil has been replaced by Twitter.

    I agree that they're a better team than last year. However, I think they're still firmly in the "beat up the bad teams, flounder against true playoff teams" camp like they were last year. I'd love to be wrong and I think the roster has the potential to make a big jump, but that'll take some pretty big jumps by individual players like Kepler and Buxton and a full season of Sano's first half of last year. Berrios appears to be making that jump, I'm not convinced that the other three are. I do like what I'm seeing from Kepler though.

    No doubt that most, myself included, would take a +.500 record heading into May. I'm not even trying to suggest that this team is bad. I certainly didn't expect an ugly sweep at the hands of the Rays, that is for sure. But I also don't expect to go into NY and split a series against the Yankees either. Just as I did prior to spring training, I think this team will generally beat up on bad teams and mostly flounder against true playoff contenders. Over the long haul, this team is as bad as what we saw over the weekend, but they're not as good as they were against Houston either. It's still April, I'm not panicking. I am wanting to see the team start to sort itself out though.

    I'm not sure who's decision it was to start Hughes today in front of the Yankees series, but it should have been expected that it'd be a short start, taxing the bullpen in a game before they head to NY where the bullpen should be expected to get plenty of work. Bumping Odorizzi up would have been my preference if for no other reason than to try to save the pen. Maybe they make a move and bring up Duffey and decide to quit hiding Kinley. I can at least understand that approach. Grossman batting in the middle of the order is a complete joke. Having a hitter that is struggling as bad as Grossman is in the middle of the order is amateur hour. Following that logic, I'm half surprised that we didn't see a Grossman/Morrison 3/4 combo. Meanwhile Kepler is on fire and hitting 7th? Neat. This series isn't on Molitor, but decisions like that most certainly are and they didn't help circumstances.

    The problem with your first paragraph is that this was a winnable series and they pissed two of the games away and got slaughtered in the other. You're right that assuming a split in NYC and a good series against the Reds and the outlook is different. However, if they play like they did this weekend in NY, a split is a pipe dream. They need to pitch competently in that band box to have a chance.

    Well that was an eventful inning...
  14. wsnydes
    I'm glad that I don't have a heart condition. I'd have to give up watching this team. There are other reasons too, but that's one of them.
  15. wsnydes
    No.
  16. wsnydes
    Somebody pointed out earlier that Duke and Rodney were still in the pen though...
  17. wsnydes
    That was the pitch... That was another I guess!
  18. wsnydes
    Wait a second... Morrison gets a hit AND it hits 60 degrees in the metro on the same day?! What backwards world are we living in?!
  19. wsnydes
    That's why they're bonus points. Positive reinforcement for doing the correct thing.
  20. wsnydes
    Bonus points for throwing to the CORRECT base though right?

    I'd prefer him to have a celebratory Scotch instead of an "I've got to put together a lineup" Scotch though.
  22. wsnydes
    Very understandable!
  23. wsnydes
    You forgot to close your parentheses.
  24. wsnydes
    Why is the rum gone?!
  25. wsnydes
    Either I've not had enough Scotch because this makes a lot of sense or this makes a lot of sense because I've had too much Scotch.
