Know Thine Enemy: Lookout Landing
Kevin's start last week was his best in a month. Suffice it to say another quality start would be ideal. It would be just his seventh.
Slowey's had to pitch to contact a bit more this season than in the past, and he struggles when he doesn't keep hitters off-balance. Just like his last time out he needs to change location, change pitches and change the speeds those pitches are delivered. Change is good, Kevin. Change is good.
Hernandez is a great pitcher, and on a better team he'd be gaining national recognition as such for how he's pitched this year. Comparing his numbers to Slowey's should make that pretty clear.

switch up of Thome and Kubel in the order

it's a very athletic family, from wiki
Marques Tuiasosopo is the son of former NFL defensive lineman Manu Tuiasosopo, who played collegiately for UCLA, then professionally from 1979-86 for the Seahawks and 49ers. Marques’ brother is fullback Zach Tuiasosopo, who played for the Philadelphia Eagles until he was waived on July 11, 2007. Zach and Marques were also teammates on the Raiders for part of a season. His youngest brother, Matt, plays baseball professionally in the Seattle Mariners organization. His sister Leslie played volleyball for Washington, trained with the US National Team, and is currently an assistant coach at the University of Washington. Marques has a wife named Lisa. His uncle, Mike, is currently the defensive tackles coach at the University of Arizona.

Its the Mariners, with the maybe the worst lineup, other than Ichiro , in the league

Not a maybe
They’re on pace to score fewer runs than the 2003 Tigers
True, they have a hideous offense
But maybe this will still help Slowey get into a groove. A great start, and two decent starts before that. Even if they’re all against bad teams, might help Slowey get things worked out.

Okay
Now all you nay sayers can rest easy. Seems to me that as recently as Thursday, everyone, including me, groaned at bringing Rauch in, knowing that it gave us all various stress ailments. Today, you all want him back in there. I say we traded for a stud horse, let’s ride him till he bucks us.

Did Mauer ever have to go out to the mound and talk to Slowey? It really works wonders when both of them are on the same page.

July numbers
White Sox 18 wins 8 losses
Tigers 11 wins 15 losses
Twins 15 wins 11 losses
Twins lose 3 games to the Sox despite beating them 3-1 in the only series between them this month. They gained 4 games on Detroit. I would put the Kitties on life support, they are in trouble.

This is like your 3rd time asking for help with your fake baseball team
My advice to you: Sell now! Forget about this season and think about a few years from now. How’s your fake farm team? Any good fake prospects? Most importantly, fire your GM. He’s awful.
