Name the teams that RA DIckey has pitched for in MLB.

No Cheating

Rangers, Mariners, Twins.

Brewers, I think?

The Dickey > The Yankees

Also, since we got young Gardy in the last thread, here’s a pre-beard RA Dickey

Ooh, weird minus the beard.

Kubel: K'd

ON A DISGUSTING PITCH IN THE DIRT.

Massive, massive let down right there. That sucked, Jason.

We're still only in the 7th?

I’ll be back at 8 pm to see the 9th.

Phil Hughes

Is he still on track to be the best pitcher in the history of the world, or is he a bust?

by DavidRF on Jul 9, 2009 3:43 PM EDT reply actions  

I do think it's funny

that Hughes and Chamberlain have effectively switched roles.

Wow.

Ouch.

Justin out by a mile on the passed ball.

MLB Gamecast

called it a “runner’s fielder’s choice”

by matty_b on Jul 9, 2009 3:47 PM EDT up reply actions  

I suppose it was,

since Morneau didn’t HAVE to advance. And when he had that late start, maybe he shouldn’t have gone.

by Jesse on Jul 9, 2009 3:48 PM EDT up reply actions  

Not being able to see it

I was just wondering the details. Thanks.

Showing highlights of “Home Depot Defense” throughout the series…why is Gomez not playing?! I know this has been covered, but seriously.

So they can fit Kubel into the lineup, since Mauer is DH'ing.

Given the options and the fact that Joe can’t catch every single day, I’m not as opposed to this as I usually would be. Most days I’d like a Span-Gomez-Cuddyer OF though, with Kubel DHing.

by Jesse on Jul 9, 2009 3:57 PM EDT up reply actions  

two down.

one more mijares. give our offense a shot here…

by Jesse on Jul 9, 2009 4:00 PM EDT reply actions  

OK, now let's get a few runs boys!

AA

They’ve got Hughes in AA now to make room for Valencia…

Is that right or was AA just rehab for Hughes?

by DavidRF on Jul 9, 2009 4:13 PM EDT up reply actions  

ya

he’s kinda dead weight

by ajmargarine on Jul 9, 2009 4:12 PM EDT up reply actions  

That looked like a strike...

Nice job Guerrier.

Three outs, two runs.

Against Rivera.

This will need to be a battle if we want to win.

Good News

Punto and TOLBERT both due up this inning

by ajmargarine on Jul 9, 2009 4:23 PM EDT reply actions  

Maybe they’ll get some walks…

Denard can burn it down the line,

but nobody was beating out that one.

Two away.

Harris reminds us

he’s the middle infielder that doesn’t suck.

Let’s use that to our advantage now.

Twins lose 18-4 (felt like)

we were never in it. This game or the series.

by ajmargarine on Jul 9, 2009 4:29 PM EDT reply actions  

0-7 against the Yankees this year...

Ugh… you’d think we could eek out a game or two by accident or something…

Twins = sellers

Really. Stop fooling ourselves even if we squeaked out an AL Central win we are going NOWHERE fast in the first round.

I have no idea who we could sell or for what, but lets not throw away any money on this season.

by montanatwinsfan on Jul 9, 2009 4:31 PM EDT reply actions  

Getting past the first round...

Eh… I’m glad they didn’t sell in July of 87 figuring they’d never beat the AL East winner.

Who would they even sell? Crede, Harris, Dickey, Guerrier, Ayala… I don’t think they’d touch Cuddyer or Nathan.

This is baseball. Any playoff team always has a chance. This has been proven over and over again.

by JonathanR on Jul 9, 2009 7:07 PM EDT up reply actions  

OH Crap!

I just got back to my desk from watching the final inning of the game and there was a broom sitting in my cube. Thanks Twins for making this work so difficult for me.
