Around SBN: The Worst Season of Francisco Rodriguez's Career Bar-right-arrows



Rub Some Dirt On It

A video representation of the Twins' last two days in Seattle:

Also, if you happen to live in the Seattle area, and are willing to pitch out of the bullpen, please report to Safeco Field on Wednesday, around noon local time. You can't possibly be worse than the schlubs the Twins are running out there so far this series.

on the plus side of the column. Jason Kubel had a fantastic night

Ug

That video is some epic quality.

But man, stinky stuff. Especially tonight when Gardy actually had a brief enlightenment and brought out Nathan early, and it just didn’t work out. Kudos to him for making the right call. But it’s all a game of numbers, you can only get a better probability for a good outcome, not guarantee success.

Hmmm...I have some work to do...

...but that is tempting. Perhaps my suck pitch will lull them into a false sense of security so I can sneak my meatball past them.

Ahhh

Ahh, the dreaded but rarely mastered suck pitch…

Time to sit Guerrier for about a week. He’s been Boof-like in his approach lately.

I'm ready to suit up

I’m a lefty and throw a mean ‘straight curve’ ball
fools them everytime

love the video and yup that’s pretty much what the last two nights have felt like.

so what time does Gardy log on here and tells us he’s done everything we’ve posted so what the hell does he do now? I think he’s going to put up the white flag and let us all manage thru the site. I’m pretty sure Safco has a great WiFi network so we shouldn’t get fined by MLB for slowing the game down.

Noone’s mentioned this yet but including today the Twins play Seattle 7 more times. Yup, there goes the division!

Kidding…sort of

Win Twins! (no really, get a freakin’ win already)
