funny how the baseball today podcast

mentioned the Twins have a rotation of Slowey and a bunch of young guys…

The way the guys are pitching where could Liriano fit other than the pen, or a 6 man rotation?

by caluofmn on Jul 20, 2008 3:12 PM EDT reply actions

Livan needs to get traded

There’s a chance he might fetch a decent prospect for the Twins.

by PhoenixV on Jul 20, 2008 3:13 PM EDT up reply actions

that seems to be the only spot

i’ve heard some say will it effect the rotation to lose a ‘i’ve seen it, done that’ vet from the rotation but they guys have been so good that i don’t think there would be a negative effect.

and we got Alexi for JC Romero, maybe we can do just as well for Livan?

damn 5 - 5

Royals and Sox locked up

by caluofmn on Jul 20, 2008 3:18 PM EDT reply actions

by DedicatedFollowerOfFashion on Jul 20, 2008 3:24 PM EDT reply actions

by caluofmn on Jul 20, 2008 3:37 PM EDT up reply actions

let's go Harris!

by caluofmn on Jul 20, 2008 4:03 PM EDT reply actions

hit and run would have been great if it would have worked

by caluofmn on Jul 20, 2008 4:06 PM EDT up reply actions

and Span doesn't come through

now do you pinch hit for Gomez to start the 9th?

by caluofmn on Jul 20, 2008 4:09 PM EDT up reply actions

YES!

Although they should have pinch hit for him to start the 1st.

by PhoenixV on Jul 20, 2008 4:10 PM EDT up reply actions

I swear to God

If Gardy puts Bass out I’m gonna lose it.

Thankfully.

don’t let the Rangers Teabag you!
I mean Teagarden beat you!

by caluofmn on Jul 20, 2008 4:20 PM EDT reply actions

Gomez had no biz batting in the 9th

and proved it with the strikeout

by caluofmn on Jul 20, 2008 4:25 PM EDT reply actions

Crushed hopes

So I guess he hasn’t turned the corner yet. But yesterday was so promising… sniff

by PhoenixV on Jul 20, 2008 4:28 PM EDT up reply actions

wild thing!

mauer to 3B

by caluofmn on Jul 20, 2008 4:34 PM EDT reply actions

Howls of derisive laughter, C.J. Wilson!

Sigh....

by PhoenixV on Jul 20, 2008 4:36 PM EDT up reply actions

I hate it when they lose on a mistake pitch

shake it off and get ready for the Yankees

by caluofmn on Jul 20, 2008 4:40 PM EDT reply actions

I know today was a disappointing loss but man what a great series overall. The Twins starters held the highest scoring offense in the league to 3 runs over 3 games, dang. Not only that but our offense lit them up in 2 of the 3 games. I didn’t get to watch most of todays game was Padilla throwing left handed or something?

Either way, great series and what a great pitching performance by Scott Baker today. Maybe Livan pitched well enough today for us to get rid of him this week and bring up Liriano in time to whip up on the Sox. We can only hope.

Peyton's good but have you ever heard of Jeff George?

Ug, last night’s game was so much fun to be at. TOday was really hard to take. Made me feel sick afterwords…
